To the podficcers on my flist

Help?

So, just say I was considering making a podfic what recording program should I use? And how would I go editing it (because I know I'd make lots of mistakes). I have Audicity. Would that work?

Any advice (including tips!) would be most welcome. :)

(though I'll probably chicken out before posting anything, but I'm on holidays, with a little bit of extra time on my hands, so I thought I'd have a play).

LOL - Post recording editing kinda freaks me out, too. Plus, I'm lazy. ;)
ETA: what I understand is that some people record in garage band and edit in audacity? IDK.

There was one tip I found that I use all the time and I'm not sure if it improves the sound quality or if I just THINK it improves it, but on your audio track select Female Narrator Noisy and it seems to tamp down some external noises (I often have sirens as I live a few blocks from a major medical center). I don't know if that would improve the volume or not

I used my macbook mic for my first handful of podfics, and then bought a gaming headset with a mic and use that now.

Ah, record in GB and edit in Audacity. I can see how that works (though I was thinking about editing in my vid program because I know that really well.

but on your audio track select Female Narrator Noisy

Ah, ok. that's a good time. I can try that. :)
Thanks!
