Hi all, This week I put together a recording that I am thinking of releasing as a podcast from my website. In order for that to happen, the file needs some serious treatment.
For one thing, it needs all my mistakes and false starts removed, and it really needs all my uh's and ticks removed. I am one seriously nervous microphonest apparently, and while there's not much I can do to clean up the delivery, I can at least dramatically improve the flow of the presentation. Then it needs to be split into podcast-size chunks and have some headers and trailers added. I've been doing all this by loading up my virtual machine and then loading my source file into goldwave. It's nice, because I have all the editing functions I need right at my fingertips, but it's brootal because my vm runs like crap in the first place, and audio editing takes up a fare share of resources at the best of times. I also never got round to buying goldwave which is really a shame considering how well it has served me over the years. So, my demo times out and I have to restart. It's just igch. I've got audacity 1.2.5 here on my mac. Just to see what was what I loaded my file into audacity. Well, Everything in the effects and analysis menus is greyed out. I can't find play controls anywhere. The keyboard tab of the preferences doesn't seem to be all that accessible. The tool bars are invisible. The help contents option only opens up a standard file open dialog... Uh, Am I meant to be able to actually use this thing, and how can I get started? All my usual avenues for finding things out seem to be leading me nowhere.
