Week 9: Software by Daniella Sousa

The recording and editing software I am considering using is the Free Audio Editor. I have never used this software before but I have been researching tutorials about how to use the Free Audio Editor and I have discovered various things:

1. Audio Recording: From the Free Audio Editor website I have learned how to record sound from the internet by opening the source and activating Stereo Mix which records the sound from the internet. I found this information from the tutorials on the Free Audio Editor website: http://www.free-audio-editor.com/features/Tutorials_Recording_How_To_Record_Fro_The_Internet_Radio_Web_Radio.html
2. Audio Editing: From the Free Audio Editor website I have also learned how to edit sounds by cutting, copying, pasting, and trimming sounds. These actions are activated by pressing several keys on your keyboard. For example by pressing (Ctrl+X) you can Cut, with (Ctrl+T) you can Trim, and with (Ctrl+D) you can delete. I found this information from the tutorials on the Free Audio Editor website: http://www.free-audio-editor.com/features/Tutorials_Editing.html
3. Audio Effects: The Free Audio Editor website has also taught me how to add audio effects like pitch change, echo, amplify, equalize, fade…etc. For example to amplify a certain sound I must select it then in the menu button press amplify. I found this information from the tutorials on the Free Audio Editor website: http://www.free-audio-editor.com/features/Tutorials_Audio_Effects.html

                I have tested out the Free Audio Editor software and found that it is very easy to use. Everything in the software is labeled accordingly with a menu bar on the side that has all the editing techniques labeled with an icon. After testing out this software I am confident that my podcast will sound great.
