I'm sorry David. I was referring to the quality of Chris' podcasts. I've never heard any of yours David. Are they on the jaws users website? Please give me a title and I'll give it a listen Andre ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 7:50 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] NVDA podcast
What specifically are you referring? I always endeavor to speak clearly when doing a recording. David Ferrin [email protected] I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Williams" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] NVDA podcast Before getting into issues of editing, how about working on basics such as volume, clarity, and getting a good microphone. I mean no offense but its very difficult to understand what the presenter is saying over the extraneous sounds. Maybe some enunciation is in ordr too. It's a tremendous waste of time and effort if no one can understand the podcast and therefore can't follow along. I gave up on the podcast after about 3 minutes.

When I do a tutorial it is recorded with gold wave in wave format and only when it is finished do I make the conversion to MP3 at a reduced bit rate so as to maintain the quality of the recording. You have to be able to do the same thing with all of the technology at your command.

See, this would be fine, except I use MP3 format with the default attributes. My podcast on Cobra is over 23 MB in size. Not bad but like you said you may be put off with it because of the size. I am exactly to the point. I even edited the bit where I couldn't get Cobra to launch at first (you will not get that in the podcast I uploaded), but I'm just saying I try to make it short and to the point. But easy said than done for a podcast. I may have to end up doing several NVDA podcasts. What do you think? Take care.
