Exploring Audio Editing

Myself and Nick Henry are planning to explore recording and editing a podcast. Hopefully, in the future we will be able to bring this into the classroom and allow the kids to explore their passions and learn using podcasts or any audio recording. The first step for us is to look into and explore audio editing so

Audacity is a free audio recording and editing software. I’ll be exploring this software first and updates will be on the way.

Acoustica has a free trial version that I will explore. This one has a reputation for being a more user and beginner friendly software.

Adobe Audition is widely regarded as the best audio editing software and costs 21$ a month. Thankfully Nick has done some radio work in the past and has some experience using Adobe Audition. We’ll be exploring this software later in the year.

Twitter

I will not be using Twitter. No disrespect to the platform and I see the value that can be obtained from using it. I do, however, know that outside this course I will not be using it. I have tried it in the past and I never log in. I struggle to use social media. I have no interest in portraying myself in an online way. I have Facebook but I never use it. I do post photos on there in order that my friends from abroad know that I’m still alive but I’d much rather interact with people in person than on the internet. I get almost no value out of interacting with people in a digital way. I check my phone only a few times a day. If I’m struggling to check and text with my phone I doubt Twitter will be of great use to me.
