Welcome. You can come on in. I was just getting started. 11 00:00:58,418 --> 00:01:02,708 Feel free to pick a spot and get logged on to a computer if you would like to. 12 00:01:04,428 --> 00:01:08,548 And then we're going to the short link up here this orb link. 13 00:01:08,598 --> 00:01:11,658 Okay. In a browser once you are there. Okay. 14 00:01:12,658 --> 00:01:17,067 Great. So, um, I'll introduce myself first and everything while we're getting started. 15 00:01:17,068 --> 00:01:23,308 So my name is Dr. Chelsy Hooper. I'm an instructional technology specialist here in the main library. 16 00:01:23,728 --> 00:01:29,008 My main area of work is on the first floor of the library in the Adobe Creative space. 17 00:01:29,458 --> 00:01:32,638 Um, and the link to our website is here. 18 00:01:32,668 --> 00:01:37,828 We have all kinds of different areas that you can access and also assistance after today. 19 00:01:38,248 --> 00:01:46,738 Um, so maybe I'll first kind of go through some of the, um, uh, like facilities that we have and things like that. 20 00:01:46,748 --> 00:01:49,288 I'm going to kind of mention that as we go a little bit. 21 00:01:49,588 --> 00:01:56,278 Um, and, uh, we'll just kind of get started with, uh, talking about podcasting in general and getting going with that. 22 00:01:57,348 --> 00:02:06,498 So, uh, in general, a podcast is a series of episodes, or at least a one recording, um, you know, of audio. 23 00:02:06,498 --> 00:02:10,758 Sometimes it can also be video. That would be a vodcast, technically. 24 00:02:11,118 --> 00:02:14,628 Um, and you can record both with Adobe apps. 25 00:02:14,748 --> 00:02:18,678 Um, today I'm going to mostly just focus on the audio only ones. 26 00:02:19,008 --> 00:02:22,218 Um, but you can absolutely also create video. 27 00:02:22,248 --> 00:02:28,698 We have another, uh, session on creating video with Adobe, so we have plenty of resources for that. 28 00:02:29,178 --> 00:02:34,248 Um, but another fantastic resource we have is this handout here. 29 00:02:34,908 --> 00:02:42,478 Um, and yeah, and again the short URL is aub.ie/ircpodcasting 30 00:02:42,498 --> 00:02:52,038 So once you're there you have the page okay. Um, but we have a handout here that's a very, uh, handy sort of step by step as you go. 31 00:02:52,368 --> 00:03:00,258 There's a couple of different apps you can use. I'm going to mostly focus on Adobe Podcast today because it's so easy to use and it's web based. 32 00:03:00,618 --> 00:03:04,668 But know that you can also use GarageBand if you have a mac. 33 00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:08,478 Um, it's a mac only program, so we do have information on that. 34 00:03:09,408 --> 00:03:14,058 Um, and then there is also a professional editor called Adobe Audition. 35 00:03:14,478 --> 00:03:23,208 Um, and, um, that takes a little bit more to kind of learn and get into it, but it is possible and I can kind of demo that for you today as well. 36 00:03:23,218 --> 00:03:26,598 So in case you want to get into it, we could um, also get into that. 37 00:03:27,938 --> 00:03:34,538 Um, and then, um, this handout, this kind of is like a little cheat sheet for both of these and how to export, 38 00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:41,468 but something else you're going to want to think about as you are creating a podcast is you want to have a sort of a plan. 39 00:03:41,978 --> 00:03:49,357 So you want to have kind of a plan of what your topic is, maybe a plan for what the name of your, uh, podcast is. 40 00:03:49,358 --> 00:03:54,938 Um, what kind of intro music you might like to use an introduction to your podcast. 41 00:03:55,238 --> 00:03:59,347 What is your podcast in general about? And then you have your episode. 42 00:03:59,348 --> 00:04:04,898 Whatever happens in the podcast, maybe you interview, um, an expert and then, 43 00:04:04,898 --> 00:04:08,618 you know, it's you asking them questions and they're responding and so on. 44 00:04:09,038 --> 00:04:13,118 Um, it could be you just talking about your research, whatever it is, 45 00:04:13,358 --> 00:04:20,348 and then you have some sort of conclusion and then maybe some outro music and a little outro statements, something like that. 46 00:04:20,768 --> 00:04:29,098 Um, and so just wanted to kind of show you that as a way to start planning so you can do this type of plan like in a word document or Google Doc, 47 00:04:29,168 --> 00:04:32,318 do some sort of outline first so you have an idea. 48 00:04:32,678 --> 00:04:37,328 You don't have to have a whole script written out. You can if you want to. 49 00:04:37,418 --> 00:04:41,347 So if you're limited to a certain amount of time and it's very strict, 50 00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:47,588 the things that you have to include in your recording, that would be a good idea to actually script it out. 51 00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:49,478 And you can like, read it and everything. 52 00:04:49,718 --> 00:04:56,918 Um, but normally it's a good idea to keep it pretty natural sounding because then people will be more interested in it. 53 00:04:57,338 --> 00:05:01,027 Um, so you might have questions you're going to ask in some, you know, 54 00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:06,038 somebody in an interview, you might have topics of discussion that you throw out to a group, 55 00:05:06,398 --> 00:05:11,528 you know, so having some content, an idea of what your content is going to be is a really good idea. 56 00:05:12,708 --> 00:05:17,537 Um, so, uh, some other tips that you can utilize when you're creating a podcast. 57 00:05:17,538 --> 00:05:21,168 If it's a very long one, it's a good idea to record it in sections. 58 00:05:21,168 --> 00:05:27,438 So you can like, easily rerecord if you need to, um, use some sort of consistent recording set up. 59 00:05:27,798 --> 00:05:36,978 Um, you know, whatever setup you use, if you're using your own laptop and Adobe podcast and your Apple earbuds with the microphone, 60 00:05:37,428 --> 00:05:41,358 then that and use that every time as much as you possibly can, right. 61 00:05:41,568 --> 00:05:47,777 If you're going to come use our audio studio, try to use that every time when you're recording so that the sound is really consistent. 62 00:05:47,778 --> 00:05:54,168 But I'm going to show you some AI tools also that Adobe offers to help you sound really good too. 63 00:05:54,618 --> 00:05:59,568 Um, so we'll be doing that today. Um, another option is recording via zoom. 64 00:05:59,688 --> 00:06:05,958 So if you have to interview somebody and you can't get in the same location, you can use zoom to record. 65 00:06:06,258 --> 00:06:10,878 Um, and then that way you can just download the MP3 file when it's done recording, 66 00:06:10,878 --> 00:06:15,828 and then you can bring that into Adobe Podcast or Audition or GarageBand and make edits to it. 67 00:06:16,218 --> 00:06:21,348 So those are some options as you're kind of thinking about, you know, how to create your podcast. 68 00:06:22,098 --> 00:06:26,328 And then we also have some great facilities that you guys can use to help you with that. 69 00:06:26,688 --> 00:06:29,988 So first we have tech lending. So I want to show you that. 70 00:06:30,828 --> 00:06:39,407 So on at our in the Innovation and Research Commons on the first floor, um, we have uh technology lending available. 71 00:06:39,408 --> 00:06:42,947 This is open to any, uh, student, faculty or staff. 72 00:06:42,948 --> 00:06:46,308 You just have to have an actual ID so you can check things out. 73 00:06:46,308 --> 00:06:49,578 So just like you check out a book from the library, you can check out equipment. 74 00:06:50,148 --> 00:06:52,427 Um, and they have a list of equipment here. 75 00:06:52,428 --> 00:06:57,828 But you can also wanted to show you the website because you can click here to see what's currently available, 76 00:06:58,098 --> 00:07:06,078 like what equipment is in um, and so you can look at these and see like none of the dSLR cameras are available. 77 00:07:06,078 --> 00:07:10,818 But this is more we're talking about audio anyway. So we'll, we'll scroll down and look for audio. 78 00:07:11,418 --> 00:07:20,057 Um, we also have tons of GoPro cameras too. You could always capture video and, you know, and audio and then just export the audio by itself. 79 00:07:20,058 --> 00:07:24,858 That's an option to um, notice we have these computer headsets. 80 00:07:25,338 --> 00:07:30,768 Um, this is the same kind that we have, um, here in our room that we're going to be using in just a minute. 81 00:07:31,068 --> 00:07:36,228 And these are super easy to use. We have USB and usb-C available. 82 00:07:36,528 --> 00:07:39,857 So you literally just plug it in and then you've got, um, a headset. 83 00:07:39,858 --> 00:07:44,868 So a, uh, external microphone. That really helps as well and helps you like, hear it back. 84 00:07:45,228 --> 00:07:48,588 Um, too. This is the same thing, just usb-C. 85 00:07:48,588 --> 00:07:53,747 So if you have a mac that will work for that. And then we also have these voice recorders. 86 00:07:53,748 --> 00:07:59,568 These are little handheld digital voice recorders that you can use, and it just records to an SD card. 87 00:07:59,778 --> 00:08:02,658 And then you can connect the voice recorder to a computer. 88 00:08:02,928 --> 00:08:10,668 Bring in those audio files again to either Adobe Podcast, audition or GarageBand, and then make edits to it. 89 00:08:11,238 --> 00:08:15,947 Um, we also have a desktop mic that you can check out to. 90 00:08:15,948 --> 00:08:17,808 Um, that is good quality. 91 00:08:18,168 --> 00:08:28,247 Um, and so we have those and uh, that's an option to, um, here's the professional USB microphone that's a little bit better quality and so on. 92 00:08:28,248 --> 00:08:32,538 So if you want to use your own laptop and just have a better microphone, you can do that too. 93 00:08:32,718 --> 00:08:35,778 Yeah. So that's the equipment that I wanted to show you. 94 00:08:36,288 --> 00:08:45,697 And then we also have an audio studio. So in the audio studio, we have, um, a computer that's already got all the software installed and everything, 95 00:08:45,698 --> 00:08:48,847 and it has a very nice desktop mic, um, in there. 96 00:08:48,848 --> 00:08:52,028 And we also has an isolation booth. 97 00:08:52,058 --> 00:08:58,468 So there's a second, smaller room inside of this studio, um, that you can stand up in. 98 00:08:58,478 --> 00:09:03,068 There's no chair in all of that, but and there's a separate microphone in that room. 99 00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:08,798 Um, if you want to use that, what you have to do is basically start recording the computer here and then go 100 00:09:08,798 --> 00:09:13,117 into a little room and record and then come back out and stop the recording, 101 00:09:13,118 --> 00:09:19,898 and then you could just edit it after that. But if you want really, really quiet audio, then that is an option too. 102 00:09:20,648 --> 00:09:27,637 Um, this is on the first floor of the library, uh, next to the Adobe Creative space and the tech lending area. 103 00:09:27,638 --> 00:09:34,268 So it's all kind of all there together. Notice there's speakers right here so you can play it back and listen to it and all of that. 104 00:09:34,508 --> 00:09:39,128 And you can have a like a small group of people in here, you know, and all recorded at the same time. 105 00:09:39,488 --> 00:09:45,518 Just try to make sure you stay about the same distance from the microphone the whole time that you're recording. 106 00:09:45,758 --> 00:09:49,778 And it's ideal to be about 6 to 12in away from the microphone. 107 00:09:49,838 --> 00:09:54,517 So you kind of have to like get around it, you know, if you want to do that, but it is possible. 108 00:09:54,518 --> 00:09:58,268 Or you can easily do two people at the same time. And that would be easy to do. 109 00:09:59,018 --> 00:10:05,228 So if you'd like to reserve the audio studio, you click the little reservation link here and then uh, reserve it. 110 00:10:05,408 --> 00:10:09,067 We are doing a little bit of work on the audio studio. 111 00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:12,758 Um, they, we put in new, uh, sound dampening panels. 112 00:10:12,998 --> 00:10:19,477 And so they have the panels are sort of down off the wall while they kind of get those reinstalled and everything, 113 00:10:19,478 --> 00:10:22,717 but, um, you can still use it, so it's still usable. 114 00:10:22,718 --> 00:10:31,117 They're just working on trying to get better panels in there. Um, also on the Audio Studio website, we have a podcasting page. 115 00:10:31,118 --> 00:10:36,068 So this lists, um, even more resources than what I'm going to kind of go over today. 116 00:10:36,608 --> 00:10:41,347 Um, the audio recording, podcasting video that's essentially our workshop today. 117 00:10:41,348 --> 00:10:47,198 So that's just a recording of it. So if you want to review and then we have the handout I showed you. 118 00:10:47,198 --> 00:10:52,568 And then I have a whole separate hour long workshop on just Adobe Audition. 119 00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:59,018 So if you want to learn more professional video or audio editing and then there's a whole separate one on just GarageBand. 120 00:10:59,678 --> 00:11:08,348 Um, we just try to pitch the Adobe apps because we know everybody has access to that in GarageBand is a mac only, um, application. 121 00:11:08,588 --> 00:11:13,267 And then we have a presentation file, which is the the presentation I'm using with you guys. 122 00:11:13,268 --> 00:11:16,388 And, and there's also books we have about podcasts. 123 00:11:16,388 --> 00:11:21,188 And also there's all kinds of sound effects that you can go and download for free too. 124 00:11:21,458 --> 00:11:28,328 Um, I'm going to show you some free ones that are available in Adobe podcast that are super easy to use, and that's usually the best to get started. 125 00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:36,397 Um, but I wanted to show you that as well. So there's a lot of resources under the audio studio, and feel free to book that after you book it. 126 00:11:36,398 --> 00:11:41,078 You go to the first floor, um, innovation and research comments help desk there, 127 00:11:41,078 --> 00:11:44,588 and there's a sign on the audio studio wall that tells you that two on the door, 128 00:11:44,918 --> 00:11:51,818 um, and you check in with that help desk, and then they give you access to the audio studio, and they just check to make sure you've booked it. 129 00:11:52,238 --> 00:11:59,378 So that's about the studio and all of that. And then I have some other just general resources on podcasts. 130 00:11:59,768 --> 00:12:08,738 Another great way to get used to how do you want to create a podcast or to think about creating your own is to listen to other people's podcasts. 131 00:12:09,068 --> 00:12:13,597 So if you haven't done that yet and you're interested in making a podcast, I definitely recommend, 132 00:12:13,598 --> 00:12:19,598 like checking out just some other people's podcast, maybe a similar topic to the one that you want to do. 133 00:12:19,598 --> 00:12:24,158 So you get an idea of like, what did I do that I like? Or how would I do mine differently? 134 00:12:24,158 --> 00:12:30,188 And um, you know, how do I, you know, is it more of just a conversation is a little more scripted? 135 00:12:30,338 --> 00:12:37,747 Do I have more sound effects in there? You can also capture sound like with those digital voice recorders out in the field. 136 00:12:37,748 --> 00:12:44,288 So like if you are working with animals or whatever in the forest, you know, you can capture that audio out, 137 00:12:44,618 --> 00:12:48,728 you know, and then bring that in as your own sound effects that you've recorded. 138 00:12:49,058 --> 00:12:52,358 So thinking about all of that first is a really good idea. 139 00:12:52,598 --> 00:12:56,288 And you can you're welcome to come back to these resources and check those out. 140 00:12:56,738 --> 00:13:03,908 And then also as far as publishing your, um, podcast, what what I'm going to show you today is like how to create it, 141 00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:07,178 how to edit it, and then how to download the MP3 file. 142 00:13:07,808 --> 00:13:15,098 Um, if you want to publish it. Then depending on the platform and how you want to publish it, there's information on these sites on how to do that. 143 00:13:15,578 --> 00:13:17,437 Um, so if you want to go to that step, 144 00:13:17,438 --> 00:13:23,618 but what we just show you is how to create that final MP3 file and then whatever you choose to do with that after that, 145 00:13:23,618 --> 00:13:28,208 that's that's up to you how you choose to share it. Um, and everything. 146 00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:37,808 So, um, yeah. So yeah, as mentioned, as you're planning your podcast or your audio recording, you're thinking about who the audience is. 147 00:13:37,808 --> 00:13:41,498 These are. Very important things to think about before you begin recording. 148 00:13:41,878 --> 00:13:46,688 Um, so who's the audience? Is it going to be other people who are interested in your research? 149 00:13:47,018 --> 00:13:52,388 Is it, um, a more of a PSA style, a public service announcement style, 150 00:13:52,388 --> 00:13:57,758 like you're trying to reach a really broad audience of people who are interested in this topic and try to help them with it. 151 00:13:57,968 --> 00:14:04,658 So something a little bit more extension related, you know, um, is it more fun and personal? 152 00:14:04,658 --> 00:14:10,838 You know, and it's just like your for like your friends or people of your age group, um, whatever, you know, 153 00:14:10,838 --> 00:14:17,308 so you can think about who's the audience and not that determines like your tone and also like the, 154 00:14:17,338 --> 00:14:21,008 the topics you're going to be exploring in sort of the format that you do. 155 00:14:21,638 --> 00:14:26,197 And then you think about, do I just need an outline or do I need a script, you know, 156 00:14:26,198 --> 00:14:30,248 so you can think about that and kind of develop a plan and outline in a script. 157 00:14:30,758 --> 00:14:33,848 And then you can also do a typical podcast outline, 158 00:14:33,848 --> 00:14:41,998 like the handout I showed you guys where you have like ideas for what type of music you might want, what type of voice audio you need to get. 159 00:14:42,008 --> 00:14:45,578 So like if you know you want to interview, um, an expert, 160 00:14:45,578 --> 00:14:53,738 then you could start by reaching out to that expert and then figuring out a time when they could meet you either in person to record or via zoom. 161 00:14:54,278 --> 00:14:59,498 Um, and then have a plan for that because you can't edit anything until you have it recorded. 162 00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:02,948 So you have to kind of allow time to create a podcast. 163 00:15:03,398 --> 00:15:08,887 Um, other tips, uh, that are that I include is it's, it's, uh, 164 00:15:08,888 --> 00:15:13,027 it's a good idea to record in sections, you know, that gives you a chance to have a break, 165 00:15:13,028 --> 00:15:20,998 get some water or something like that so you can and also that you can easily rerecord that way, you know, use a consistent recording set up. 166 00:15:21,008 --> 00:15:26,018 I'm going to show you in Adobe podcast how it helps you check your microphone, which is really great. 167 00:15:26,648 --> 00:15:30,607 And then if you're doing interviews or how are you going to capture your audio, 168 00:15:30,608 --> 00:15:34,958 is that going to be via zoom, or are you just going to record voice memos on your phone? 169 00:15:35,288 --> 00:15:42,698 Um, there is an app called Adobe Capture that you can also use if you want to put everything in a library and then pull that together in audition. 170 00:15:42,878 --> 00:15:48,828 That's sort of an upper level one. I wouldn't really recommend that for starting out at first, but how are you going to capture your audio? 171 00:15:48,848 --> 00:15:53,648 Are you going to use one of our digital voice recorders, or are you going to use the audio studio to record? 172 00:15:54,038 --> 00:15:58,048 Are you going to use your own laptop and borrow one of our microphones, whatever you want to do. 173 00:15:58,058 --> 00:16:06,318 So figuring that out, and then you can visit the tech lending to get a microphone, um, visit the audio studio page to book a time to use it. 174 00:16:06,338 --> 00:16:14,227 I also recommend, um, going ahead and like, if you think you're going to use the audio studio to actually record a podcast, 175 00:16:14,228 --> 00:16:22,207 maybe book it for a time when you can go in and there and just get used to it and like practice and always it's a good idea. 176 00:16:22,208 --> 00:16:31,178 Whatever recording setup you use, go ahead and record and then play it back right away like a sample so you can check is it doing what you want it to? 177 00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:35,078 Is it actually recording? Does it sound okay or do you need to make adjustments. 178 00:16:35,078 --> 00:16:40,297 So that's always a good thing. You can also, as I mentioned, record your own sound effects. 179 00:16:40,298 --> 00:16:46,568 That's a great thing to do to like get, you know, go out in the field, go out in a crowd, capture some of that ambient noise. 180 00:16:47,258 --> 00:16:53,838 Um, and then there is an AI tool called Adobe under Adobe Podcast called Enhanced Speech. 181 00:16:53,858 --> 00:17:00,368 It's the same AI tool that's also in the enhanced speech in Adobe Audition, as well as Premiere Pro. 182 00:17:00,368 --> 00:17:07,898 So it does a really good job to take away background noise and echo and make you sound like you recorded it in the studio, even if you didn't. 183 00:17:08,678 --> 00:17:14,078 Okay, so what we're going to do is actually hop into Adobe Podcast. 184 00:17:14,258 --> 00:17:23,648 So let's go ahead and click on Adobe Podcast. You can also go to a browser and just go to podcast.adobe.com and then sign in. 185 00:17:23,708 --> 00:17:33,948 So let's do that. I close that for now, do this perfect, and I'm going to sign out so that you can see how to sign in. 186 00:17:33,958 --> 00:17:43,318 Okay, so if you go to a podcast.adobe.com and then you're going to hit sign in, you do want to sign in with your full Auburn email address. 187 00:17:43,588 --> 00:17:47,748 So we'll do that. And then hit continue. 188 00:17:48,378 --> 00:17:52,498 And then you always want to choose company or school account, not personal. 189 00:17:52,578 --> 00:17:59,868 So make sure you've done that. And then from here it's it might ask you for that Auburn login again. 190 00:17:59,898 --> 00:18:03,098 You're just your username and password. I already did it today. 191 00:18:03,108 --> 00:18:04,848 So it's like remembering me. 192 00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:12,638 Um, and what I'm going to do for the people who are attending in person is, um, I'm going to go get a headset for them to use. 193 00:18:12,648 --> 00:18:18,848 And if you're attending online, um, maybe make sure you can sign in to Adobe Podcast. 194 00:18:18,858 --> 00:18:22,188 Uh, while you're kind of waiting for me to do that. Okay. Be right back. Um. 195 00:18:31,369 --> 00:18:35,899 um, there's a couple of tools here that you can use just right away to help you. 196 00:18:36,139 --> 00:18:40,059 And one of them is the mic check. So let's maybe go ahead and do that. 197 00:18:40,069 --> 00:18:45,589 So we're going to go to tools mic check. And then it's going to check your mic for free. 198 00:18:45,589 --> 00:18:51,859 So we'll just hit start. Now the trick is to have your microphone connected now at this time. 199 00:18:52,099 --> 00:19:00,259 So that's what you would do. And you would hit start. And then once I start talking, then it should show me these items like. 200 00:19:00,349 --> 00:19:09,678 Am I too close? Am I too far? You know, gain is an adjustment on some microphones that you can adjust and you can do that on your headset. 201 00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:10,819 It won't really have that. 202 00:19:11,149 --> 00:19:17,718 Um, but like desktop mics, you have a knob that says gain and you can turn it up or down and then background noise or echoes. 203 00:19:17,719 --> 00:19:22,549 So let's go ahead and hit test. Mike, how is my microphone setup and placement. 204 00:19:25,009 --> 00:19:29,509 Okay, so it says I was pretty good and the gain is in the green area. 205 00:19:29,509 --> 00:19:33,379 So I'm about like 8 to 10in from the microphone. 206 00:19:34,159 --> 00:19:37,667 And you can feel free to go ahead and try it yourself. Now to. Hit test, Mike, and then just start talking. 207 00:19:43,246 --> 00:19:46,656 It just helps you with setting up your microphone. And that's the main thing. 208 00:19:46,666 --> 00:19:54,096 Is it like, um, you know, making sure your mic is set up and all of that properly first and then going to your settings of your computer, 209 00:19:54,106 --> 00:19:57,276 making sure the correct microphone and speakers are selected. 210 00:19:57,286 --> 00:20:04,695 So those are all important things first. So now what I'd like to do is, um, just show you briefly a couple of these other tools. 211 00:20:04,696 --> 00:20:09,255 I'm just going to mention a few of them. They do have this enhanced speech option. 212 00:20:09,256 --> 00:20:15,196 What this one does is if you already had a recording, um, that you wanted to just upload, 213 00:20:15,376 --> 00:20:21,976 you could go to this enhanced speech tool and just choose files that you want the audio to be improved on, 214 00:20:22,366 --> 00:20:29,806 and then it will clean them up for you, and then it'll spit out a clean file and you download that clean updated file, 215 00:20:29,806 --> 00:20:36,016 and then you can put that wherever you want. So again, whatever tool you use you could use this, which is pretty neat. 216 00:20:36,406 --> 00:20:43,185 Uh, we'll test it in a minute. We'll use a different way to test it, but I wanted to show you that it also will caption video for you. 217 00:20:43,186 --> 00:20:45,196 This is great for accessibility. 218 00:20:45,436 --> 00:20:52,606 Um, so you can if you have video that you created, but it's not captioned and you want to caption it, it will do a great job of doing that. 219 00:20:52,606 --> 00:20:56,446 And you can also improve the speech of that video too. 220 00:20:57,106 --> 00:21:00,136 And it will take audio and turn it into a video. 221 00:21:00,136 --> 00:21:05,175 Creating an audiogram. We're going to see that under the Adobe Podcast Studio tool. 222 00:21:05,176 --> 00:21:10,006 But what it basically does is take the words and put them on the screen for you and scroll through, 223 00:21:10,306 --> 00:21:13,486 kind of like when you're listening to a song on, uh, Spotify. 224 00:21:13,486 --> 00:21:18,016 And you can go to the lyrics, right? And it shows you the words as they appear on the screen. 225 00:21:18,286 --> 00:21:19,906 That's what an audiogram is. 226 00:21:20,206 --> 00:21:27,015 So if you wanted a video of your audio and you didn't want to take actual video of the people talking, then that would be an option. 227 00:21:27,016 --> 00:21:30,406 So if you wanted to upload your stuff to YouTube later, that would be a possibility. 228 00:21:31,066 --> 00:21:37,996 You can also transcribe audio and video. So if you need a text file so it's best to download it as a text. 229 00:21:38,026 --> 00:21:43,486 TXT file for accessibility. Then it will make a transcription for you. 230 00:21:43,486 --> 00:21:50,716 If you just have a straight up audio recording that you took elsewhere, and you need a transcription, that's also very important for accessibility. 231 00:21:50,956 --> 00:21:55,245 Uh, it's a good idea to post if you're going to post your, um, audio files online. 232 00:21:55,246 --> 00:22:03,496 Also, post the transcription with it. That way people who use screen readers and all of that, um, you know, then they can they can access those files. 233 00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:09,856 And then you also have options to edit audio and video where you can cut pieces out and so on. 234 00:22:10,126 --> 00:22:17,806 Um, so that's another thing. But really, um, all of this stuff is also kind of under the studio, which is under record, a podcast. 235 00:22:17,806 --> 00:22:22,965 So let's go to that today so that we can practice kind of all these things, which is pretty neat. 236 00:22:22,966 --> 00:22:28,006 But they do have all these little standalone tools too, which is fun. So lets it record a podcast. 237 00:22:28,996 --> 00:22:36,286 Okay. So it's saying record high quality audio easily solo or with guests, and then it will automatically transcribe it. 238 00:22:36,286 --> 00:22:40,726 And which is amazing. And so we can click below to get started. 239 00:22:40,726 --> 00:22:46,996 And then it's giving us just some ideas about it. So record solo or you can send guests a link to join you. 240 00:22:47,176 --> 00:22:51,826 So it'll look like little people icons and you can see them online. 241 00:22:52,156 --> 00:22:58,426 And so um, that is an option. Instead of zoom in, they don't have to have an Adobe ID to join. 242 00:22:58,726 --> 00:23:02,265 So you can record a podcast live. You can send somebody the link. 243 00:23:02,266 --> 00:23:06,796 Y'all can both be in the web page live recording together and hearing each other. 244 00:23:07,126 --> 00:23:12,976 So that's really nice. If you have to do this as a group project and you can't physically get in the same room to record, 245 00:23:13,456 --> 00:23:18,525 or you can do it on zoom and then download the MP3, you know, zoom. 246 00:23:18,526 --> 00:23:24,046 The advantage of zoom is that you see each other so you can like, react to each other and stuff like that a little bit better. 247 00:23:24,346 --> 00:23:25,846 Um, but that is an option. 248 00:23:26,296 --> 00:23:32,296 And then you edit your audio is text, which makes it super easy to do, and then you download it and do what you want with it. 249 00:23:32,296 --> 00:23:39,276 So let's go to start recording. And now we are in the podcast studio. 250 00:23:39,696 --> 00:23:43,685 Um, so we are in the edit mode. We can give our project a name over here. 251 00:23:43,686 --> 00:23:47,106 So we might want to go ahead and name it, because this is web based. 252 00:23:47,106 --> 00:23:53,076 It's going to save to whatever name we give it, and it's going to save in your Adobe podcast, uh, file. 253 00:23:53,256 --> 00:23:58,326 So I'm going to call this one Car podcast because I'm going to make mine about cars. 254 00:23:58,326 --> 00:24:01,446 But you can do whatever, uh, you want to do. 255 00:24:01,836 --> 00:24:07,776 Um, um, and I'm going to call mine history. Maybe it has to do with history or personal stories or something like that. 256 00:24:08,856 --> 00:24:14,526 And then I'm going to hit enter to make sure it saves that name. So now its name is going to be easier for me to find again. 257 00:24:14,526 --> 00:24:19,316 That way if I name it properly. And now what I can do is I can go ahead and start recording. 258 00:24:19,326 --> 00:24:24,156 I can also invite guests to record. So I'm going to click there so you can see what it would look like. 259 00:24:24,396 --> 00:24:27,635 You can invite them with the link. Just create a shareable link. 260 00:24:27,636 --> 00:24:32,046 And then you literally just send them this link. And then they pop in and they see this. 261 00:24:32,256 --> 00:24:36,696 So they would see this podcast studio and they would see the people with their little names there. 262 00:24:36,966 --> 00:24:40,116 And then you all would just be talking and recording all at the same time. 263 00:24:40,596 --> 00:24:44,426 So that's web based audio recording, which is really cool. 264 00:24:44,436 --> 00:24:47,616 Nobody has to download anything. Um, is great. 265 00:24:47,616 --> 00:24:52,745 So that's amazing. So that's an option. And then you can also just upload your own. 266 00:24:52,746 --> 00:25:00,366 So if you're creating a podcast where you recorded stuff like out in the field and you got to bring it in and record yourself talking about it, 267 00:25:00,606 --> 00:25:06,096 you can do both here. So that's really nice. So, um, what I'm going to do is go ahead and start recording, 268 00:25:06,606 --> 00:25:10,236 and then I'm going to give you guys a chance to record as well, if you'd like to try that. 269 00:25:10,686 --> 00:25:14,256 Um, so I'm going to record like a sample and then we can play around with some of the features. 270 00:25:15,686 --> 00:25:20,876 So this is an example of using Adobe Podcast Studio to record a podcast. 271 00:25:21,356 --> 00:25:26,486 Welcome to my podcast about the history of the different cars that I have owned. 272 00:25:26,756 --> 00:25:35,016 The very first car that I owned was a 1976 MGB, and it was a very bright orange color. 273 00:25:35,036 --> 00:25:41,546 It was called Competition Orange, and it had a very nice black racing stripe along the side. 274 00:25:41,756 --> 00:25:49,886 And I really enjoyed driving that car. It was a four speed stick shift, two seater convertible and it was a lot of fun. 275 00:25:51,576 --> 00:25:54,696 Great. So now we're going to watch and see what it does. 276 00:25:54,726 --> 00:25:57,966 What it's going to do is upload my audio and transcribe it. 277 00:25:59,346 --> 00:26:06,586 We'll give it a chance to do that. While it's doing that, let me show you how you would check that your device is correct. 278 00:26:07,006 --> 00:26:13,876 So down here in Adobe Podcast, we checked it earlier, but you would need to do that and also play it back and make sure it's playing right. 279 00:26:14,116 --> 00:26:19,216 But notice it has the default microphone is here. But I could choose a different microphone if I needed to. 280 00:26:19,786 --> 00:26:23,866 Okay. So now uh, we can, uh, play this back and see if it recorded. 281 00:26:24,106 --> 00:26:29,296 So this is an example of using Adobe Podcast Studio to record a podcast. 282 00:26:29,776 --> 00:26:34,936 Welcome to my podcast about the history of the different cars that I have owned. 283 00:26:35,176 --> 00:26:39,166 The very first car that I owned was a 1976 MGB. 284 00:26:39,496 --> 00:26:42,216 And it was a very. Okay. 285 00:26:42,226 --> 00:26:52,396 So you can see it recorded well, and it did a pretty good job of the punctuation as well, which is usually a hard for systems like this to get right. 286 00:26:52,666 --> 00:26:59,176 Now for the 1976 for the transcription, I don't really want it writing out 1976. 287 00:26:59,536 --> 00:27:06,496 So what I can do is correct that. So I can say, hey, this should be I want to correct this transcript. 288 00:27:06,856 --> 00:27:11,326 And so this should be 1976 and then hit enter. 289 00:27:11,746 --> 00:27:16,756 And if I had written out 1976 in multiple places, it would correct the whole thing. 290 00:27:17,056 --> 00:27:20,926 So if you if it gets somebodys name misspelled, you know, that could be that could happen. 291 00:27:21,076 --> 00:27:28,576 You can correct the whole thing. And it did the capitalization of the color, um, you know, two seater convertible and was a lot of fun. 292 00:27:28,576 --> 00:27:36,316 Right. So it did it correctly. Uh, now let's say I decided I don't want to I don't want to include the part that I enjoyed driving it. 293 00:27:36,526 --> 00:27:44,085 So if I play this back right along the side and I really enjoyed driving that car, it was a okay, 294 00:27:44,086 --> 00:27:49,936 so let's say I decided, hey, I decided I don't want to I want to get rid of that sentence is taking up too much space. 295 00:27:50,386 --> 00:27:53,596 I literally can just select it and delete it. 296 00:27:53,716 --> 00:27:55,996 And now it's gone from the audio. 297 00:27:56,596 --> 00:28:05,596 It was a four speed stick shift two, so that is a lot easier than trying to work on a timeline and try to cut and that sort of thing. 298 00:28:05,776 --> 00:28:08,806 All right. Let me give you guys a chance to record in to try it. Okay. 299 00:28:08,806 --> 00:28:16,126 So say just like a few sentences about a topic or something like that and then let it run the transcription and then practice making an edit. 300 00:28:16,216 --> 00:28:17,692 Okay. I'll give you some time to do that. Yeah. 301 00:28:28,124 --> 00:28:33,914 Um, you can also, uh, you know, copy things too, which is pretty cool. 302 00:28:34,214 --> 00:28:40,754 And you can also just delete things and that deletes the audio too, um, as well as corrects the transcript. 303 00:28:41,794 --> 00:28:44,854 So that's pretty neat. So like this is really good. 304 00:28:44,854 --> 00:28:49,893 If, if you said, um, you know, if there was too much, uh, you know, 305 00:28:49,894 --> 00:28:57,064 if you started a sentence and then you started it again and then finish the sentence, you could get rid of the first part when you started it. 306 00:28:57,214 --> 00:29:04,234 Right. There's there's also like, you don't want to sound too, uh, perfect and package sometimes. 307 00:29:04,234 --> 00:29:12,724 So try not to be too strict about, you know, yourself. A lot of people don't like to hear themselves played back, you know, audio or video wise. 308 00:29:12,904 --> 00:29:18,244 And it's just because the head voice that you hear is different from hearing it in your ears. 309 00:29:18,244 --> 00:29:21,963 Right? Coming through that way externally. So it's really fine. 310 00:29:21,964 --> 00:29:25,054 You sound fine. That's just kind of, you know, a thing. 311 00:29:25,054 --> 00:29:27,814 So it's just something to kind of get used to and all of that. 312 00:29:28,834 --> 00:29:34,953 Um, so once we have done that and we can also let's play this again and let me turn this up just a little bit. 313 00:29:34,954 --> 00:29:42,964 So maybe we can hear the difference. So let's listen to this um recording without the eye enhancement okay. 314 00:29:42,964 --> 00:29:49,324 So this is no II. So this is an example of using Adobe Podcast Studio to record a podcast. 315 00:29:49,804 --> 00:29:54,964 Welcome to my podcast about the history of the different cars that I have owned. 316 00:29:55,204 --> 00:29:59,194 The very first car that I owned was a 1976 MGB. 317 00:29:59,524 --> 00:30:04,984 And okay, so I'm going to pause it there, and now I'm going to tell it to enhance the audio. 318 00:30:05,284 --> 00:30:12,154 So if we go over to enhance, we can turn it on and then we can say how much do we want it to enhance the speech? 319 00:30:12,154 --> 00:30:16,804 How much of the background do we want it to remove. And this looks fine to me. 320 00:30:17,494 --> 00:30:23,764 So I'm going to let it do that. I think that looks good. And so we'll give that a chance to work a second. 321 00:30:24,334 --> 00:30:31,774 And now we will just play it back. So this is an example of using Adobe Podcast Studio to record a podcast. 322 00:30:32,224 --> 00:30:36,514 Welcome to my podcast about the history of the different cars. 323 00:30:36,904 --> 00:30:39,424 All right. So you hear a bit of a difference, right? 324 00:30:39,694 --> 00:30:44,074 Which is pretty impressive given the fact that I'm actually using a pretty good microphone right here. 325 00:30:44,074 --> 00:30:46,324 I'm using a Yeti, uh, desktop mic. 326 00:30:46,594 --> 00:30:53,974 So I already had a pretty good recording, but we are in a very large, echoey room, so it did a great job of taking the echoes out. 327 00:30:54,154 --> 00:31:02,224 It sounded kind of tinny before, you know, a little too high pitched, and it really kind of smoothed it out and made the sound sound a lot smoother. 328 00:31:02,434 --> 00:31:08,434 So imagine how it can improve for you if you just happened to be recording your own little, um, you know, 329 00:31:08,434 --> 00:31:15,244 internal laptop mike or your phone microphone, then imagine it will how much it will improve that, right? 330 00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:22,124 So you can give that a try if you want to hit the enhanced button and then listen back to it yourself for you, 331 00:31:22,174 --> 00:31:27,724 for you, that might be a cool thing to try. So I'll give you a second to try that. 332 00:31:28,339 --> 00:31:31,999 So other things you can do. So that's an example of just recording straight up right. 333 00:31:32,209 --> 00:31:38,629 Now we can also add uh, our own audio that we uploaded from our, that we upload from our computer. 334 00:31:38,629 --> 00:31:41,569 So that could be an option if you already had something previously recorded 335 00:31:41,809 --> 00:31:44,839 or say you did the whole thing in zoom because you were doing an interview, 336 00:31:45,049 --> 00:31:49,698 and then you could upload that whole MP3 file, it would transcribe the whole thing for you. 337 00:31:49,699 --> 00:31:57,349 You could go through and edit it just using the text as we did. And then if you had a huge if you did a group recording, then it would, 338 00:31:57,619 --> 00:32:03,409 it would come in as different tracks, you know, and it would say as the speaker at the top. 339 00:32:03,649 --> 00:32:07,638 So that is something it will try to do, and then you can correct it in the transcription. 340 00:32:07,639 --> 00:32:13,339 If you want to, uh, give this a try, go to the music area and choose some music. 341 00:32:13,729 --> 00:32:23,409 So this is really nice thing. You can actually choose from all of this free available music and you just kind of go with whatever's, 342 00:32:23,419 --> 00:32:26,808 you know, click a couple of the ones and listen to what it sounds like. 343 00:32:26,809 --> 00:32:30,739 You can choose like a description and it'll give you a long and a short. 344 00:32:34,089 --> 00:32:43,449 That's kind of fun. So we could use that one. And so if this was going to be up here at the intro, then we could maybe add the music at the beginning. 345 00:32:44,049 --> 00:32:49,449 Um, but you can choose whatever it is you like. Okay. 346 00:32:49,959 --> 00:32:53,049 That's kind of fun too. So and then you just hit plus to add it. 347 00:32:53,999 --> 00:33:03,268 And now I've got this fun little intro music here, and all of this is included in your license, so you have the rights to republish this post online. 348 00:33:03,269 --> 00:33:05,979 Put it, do whatever you want with it. You don't have to worry. 349 00:33:05,999 --> 00:33:12,269 You are not violating copyright when you are using these which are built into Adobe podcast, which is amazing. 350 00:33:12,749 --> 00:33:22,919 And then, uh, you can hit the little uh, uh, filter or settings button here and we can split, uh, this if we wanted to at a certain point. 351 00:33:22,919 --> 00:33:26,969 So we could like, cut this a certain point if we wanted to do that. 352 00:33:27,659 --> 00:33:32,949 Um, or we could copy it. And so I just want to delete that because I don't really want to copy it. 353 00:33:33,219 --> 00:33:36,439 We can tell it to fade in and fade out if we want. 354 00:33:36,459 --> 00:33:40,268 We can even set it as the background. So we can try that. 355 00:33:40,269 --> 00:33:45,549 And let me be. Let's play. So this is an example of using a hit to play it from the beginning though. 356 00:33:45,909 --> 00:33:56,439 Let's see if we can get it to play from the beginning. If I can get it to play from then on here along the side. 357 00:33:56,829 --> 00:34:02,409 It was a four speed stick shift, two seater convertible and it was a lot of fun. 358 00:34:04,489 --> 00:34:08,889 So this is an example of using a. Okay, cool. 359 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:13,308 So we can also tell it to not fade in. 360 00:34:13,309 --> 00:34:18,169 And we can also tell it to set as background. And then we can add this. 361 00:34:18,189 --> 00:34:25,719 I think we have to add it underneath. So you can click and drag these sections by holding the little blocks here. 362 00:34:27,999 --> 00:34:31,899 We could even put it in between. So we hit play here. 363 00:34:31,919 --> 00:34:37,139 So this is an example of using Adobe Podcast Studio to record a podcast. 364 00:34:37,589 --> 00:34:42,749 Welcome to my podcast about the history of the different cars that I have owned. 365 00:34:43,019 --> 00:34:51,299 The very first car that I owned was a 1976 MGB, and it was a very bright orange color. 366 00:34:51,329 --> 00:34:54,869 It was called Competition Orange, and it had a very. 367 00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:59,319 Great. Yeah, this one is really short, so I think it's not really playing. 368 00:35:00,369 --> 00:35:05,669 So we might choose a different one. Um, but what you can do is keep adding the music. 369 00:35:05,679 --> 00:35:06,969 You can give that a try. 370 00:35:07,149 --> 00:35:15,399 If you add it to the background, um, then it'll play in the background, you know, um, and so we could add maybe a longer one or something like that. 371 00:35:15,699 --> 00:35:20,829 Uh, but that's fun to play around with. And this is all within your license, which is amazing. 372 00:35:21,219 --> 00:35:29,709 They also have this thing called placeholder. So if you were planning an outline and you wanted to kind of just use Adobe Podcast as your outline, 373 00:35:29,949 --> 00:35:34,179 you could say, um, interview one goes here, right? 374 00:35:34,179 --> 00:35:40,869 And then when you have interview one, um, then you could put it there. 375 00:35:41,379 --> 00:35:49,419 So then you have a spot where you can move these blocks. So every time you create one of these, it's like a separate block that you can move around. 376 00:35:49,809 --> 00:35:54,399 Um, so that's kind of just a placeholder feature that you can do. Um, yeah. 377 00:35:54,399 --> 00:36:01,569 And so then other things that you can do when you're ready, um, uh, to, uh, this share button over here, we can talk about that. 378 00:36:01,959 --> 00:36:06,129 So what this share button does is share this template with somebody. 379 00:36:06,129 --> 00:36:14,079 So like if you created, like, the shell of a podcast and you wanted somebody else to use the same format with the same intro and outro, 380 00:36:14,079 --> 00:36:18,159 you could create a template and share that with them, and then they can make a copy. 381 00:36:18,209 --> 00:36:23,709 They essentially of making a copy of it that they can use. This is great for instructors sharing with students. 382 00:36:23,709 --> 00:36:29,349 For example, like here's the template I want you to use for you guys when you're ready to actually share it. 383 00:36:29,349 --> 00:36:36,339 Like to the world, you would hit export and then you would choose what audio format do you want either MP3 or WAV. 384 00:36:37,029 --> 00:36:41,199 MP3 is going to be best for, um, you know, uh, sharing. 385 00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:45,159 It's a smaller file size. WAV is a higher quality. 386 00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:52,509 So if you needed this for like some sort of professional recording or CD quality, then you could use that. 387 00:36:52,509 --> 00:36:59,169 But most of the time you just need MP3 and you would just download. They will make you a little animated video, which is pretty cool. 388 00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:05,528 So you can tell it to create the audiogram. Uh, you can tell it to remove the branding because you have premium access. 389 00:37:05,529 --> 00:37:10,179 You can tell it to show the podcast, uh, title or not, and the speaker name or not. 390 00:37:10,179 --> 00:37:13,688 So those are all options. You can choose. You can change the theme. 391 00:37:13,689 --> 00:37:17,109 You can even upload your own background image for it to use. 392 00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:20,709 And then we'll give this a second. It's going to create our audiogram. 393 00:37:21,009 --> 00:37:26,829 So if you wanted your, um, podcast in a video format, absolutely you could do that. 394 00:37:27,249 --> 00:37:30,339 So we'll just give that a second to finish creating. 395 00:37:30,549 --> 00:37:35,288 Or I can show you one. There it is. It already did it. Okay. So it'll do it like as an MP4. 396 00:37:35,289 --> 00:37:40,599 And then we have two. So this is an example of using Adobe Podcast Studio to record a podcast. 397 00:37:40,809 --> 00:37:46,109 So welcome to my podcast about the history of the different cars that I have. 398 00:37:46,119 --> 00:37:49,489 We have a delay. The very first car that I owned was in 1970. 399 00:37:49,539 --> 00:37:54,608 Normally I'd be playback and it it was a very bright orange. 400 00:37:54,609 --> 00:37:57,699 Yeah. Okay. So you get the idea. It makes an audiogram for you. 401 00:37:57,699 --> 00:38:03,459 It was a super fun. So if you don't if you need video but you don't want to actually do video, you could you could totally do that. 402 00:38:03,789 --> 00:38:07,929 Oh, and also with the audio gram notice it lets you choose what format. 403 00:38:07,929 --> 00:38:12,308 So you could totally do this for um, social media. So that's an option. 404 00:38:12,309 --> 00:38:15,069 And then you uh, here's where you get your transcript. 405 00:38:15,339 --> 00:38:22,179 So again you want to download it as a text file and then post that, uh, online along with your recording. 406 00:38:22,329 --> 00:38:25,179 That way you're within the accessibility requirements. 407 00:38:25,539 --> 00:38:33,278 And then you can if you had different people that you invited to your podcast, you can make separate files for everybody who recorded, um, 408 00:38:33,279 --> 00:38:39,789 you know, so you can make original files for every participant so you can tell it sent to everybody who participated in this podcast. 409 00:38:39,789 --> 00:38:44,799 So that's kind of a nice feature too. Yeah. So that is essentially Adobe Podcast. 410 00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:49,899 So that's pretty like easy and fun right. And it's web based. 411 00:38:50,139 --> 00:38:55,089 Totally easy to do. So this saves in your podcast um account. 412 00:38:55,089 --> 00:39:01,478 So let's practice that. So if we go back to the home screen we just go back to podcast.adobe.com. 413 00:39:01,479 --> 00:39:06,339 We would sign in and this is how you sign out. If you were on a public computer for example. 414 00:39:06,849 --> 00:39:10,418 And uh, we have premium access, 415 00:39:10,419 --> 00:39:20,229 which means you get a lot longer length of audio like you can or I think record up to two hours at a time of audio is per podcast, for example. 416 00:39:20,409 --> 00:39:24,189 And then notice it's telling us how much of the enhanced speech did I use? 417 00:39:24,399 --> 00:39:27,698 I didn't use enough to even make a difference today. 418 00:39:27,699 --> 00:39:34,449 So you have a lot of, you know, premium, uh, access, and then you show your podcasts down here. 419 00:39:34,449 --> 00:39:38,709 So you would just go find the one that you were on and then click it and then you're back into edit. 420 00:39:38,859 --> 00:39:47,079 Okay. So that's how it saves saves to you. Um, on the web this is really helpful for group projects, especially because then it's not like, oh, 421 00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:51,939 we recorded all that on so-and-so's computer and that's on their hard drive and they're not here. 422 00:39:52,389 --> 00:39:57,009 You know, you can continue working, which is really great. So that is a huge thing. 423 00:39:57,489 --> 00:40:04,358 So that is mostly Adobe podcast. And that was that's really what I highly recommend for anybody getting started. 424 00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:07,389 Or if you have group stuff that you got to do that is huge. 425 00:40:07,959 --> 00:40:13,739 Back on our presentation page that we have. There are a lot of great things about GarageBand. 426 00:40:13,749 --> 00:40:20,919 So if you're interested in GarageBand, this goes over how to use GarageBand to do all of these things, how to record and all of that. 427 00:40:21,429 --> 00:40:25,599 And then I can show you Adobe Audition. I'll demo that for just a little bit. 428 00:40:25,779 --> 00:40:31,239 If you are looking for more professional, um, audio editing, I can definitely show you that in just a minute. 429 00:40:31,629 --> 00:40:34,719 Um, but also, let me just show you the rest of the resources here first. 430 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,829 So we have a video of how to make your own podcast in Adobe Audition. 431 00:40:39,279 --> 00:40:47,379 Um, we have assistants for how to do that. Adobe gives us all this like free content, learning content away for free. 432 00:40:47,649 --> 00:40:52,539 So you can totally do that. And then here's sort of the lesson plan I go through for Adobe Audition. 433 00:40:52,929 --> 00:40:59,769 Um, all of the Adobe apps also have like a learn feature that you can go through and like walk you through things. 434 00:41:00,339 --> 00:41:08,189 So that is an option as well. Um, and then, um, yeah, I may not even have any sample music, so I may have to do that real quick. 435 00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:14,589 Let's see. Um, I have to download a files super quick so that we can you all do this rock intro maybe. 436 00:41:15,159 --> 00:41:19,689 Um, and download that real quick. So I have that to show you audition. 437 00:41:20,169 --> 00:41:25,239 But I show you how to get started. Audition. But I'm going to demo that. But anyway, this is sort of the cheat sheet of it. 438 00:41:25,299 --> 00:41:28,358 Um, and then same kind of thing in Premiere Pro. 439 00:41:28,359 --> 00:41:33,729 It's the same tools as in Adobe Audition. So higher end, um, tools to use. 440 00:41:34,029 --> 00:41:37,089 We already talked about, um, Adobe Podcast Studio. 441 00:41:37,389 --> 00:41:43,179 If you need even more sound effects, they'll let you. Adobe will let you download a whole bunch more if you want to. 442 00:41:43,209 --> 00:41:48,719 These are their free ones. You just have to download like the whole pack and kind of listen and go through them all. 443 00:41:48,729 --> 00:41:54,069 So it's a little bit less easy to find, but they have tons of free music that is royalty free. 444 00:41:55,379 --> 00:41:58,469 And this is info about the Adobe podcast that we went through. 445 00:41:58,469 --> 00:42:00,299 So if you forget or you want to share. 446 00:42:00,539 --> 00:42:08,369 Oh, and then yes, using Adobe Creative Cloud Express is a great way to make your album art or your podcast cover art. 447 00:42:08,669 --> 00:42:12,989 And it's the 3000 pixels by 3000 pixel size that's recommended. 448 00:42:13,139 --> 00:42:22,829 So I'm going to show you that briefly, and then we'll hop into Adobe Audition as a demo so you can log in to Adobe Express at Express Start adobe.com. 449 00:42:22,829 --> 00:42:29,129 Same way you log into Adobe Podcast, your full Auburn email address, and your password. 450 00:42:29,609 --> 00:42:34,589 Um, Adobe Express helps you create all kinds of graphics as well as video, 451 00:42:34,769 --> 00:42:43,019 and the same enhanced audio tool is available in this video, and you can record yourself forward facing camera talking. 452 00:42:43,019 --> 00:42:46,829 And, you know, through and using that tool if you want to in express. 453 00:42:46,829 --> 00:42:49,859 And it also helps you make web pages very basic web pages. 454 00:42:50,189 --> 00:42:53,489 This presentation page is an Adobe Express web page. 455 00:42:53,489 --> 00:42:55,829 So it kind of gives you an idea of what it can do and all of that. 456 00:42:56,429 --> 00:43:01,919 But what I would recommend is if you want to make podcast cover art, you would choose the little plus sign here, 457 00:43:02,279 --> 00:43:08,459 and then you would do custom size, and then you would choose 3000 by 3000. 458 00:43:09,479 --> 00:43:16,319 That is the standard podcast cover size for, uh, like all of the social media requirements. 459 00:43:16,319 --> 00:43:20,609 So Spotify will require that, all of that, uh, for your cover art. 460 00:43:20,909 --> 00:43:25,349 So that's what you would set it up to. And then you would start designing by adding content. 461 00:43:25,349 --> 00:43:31,498 So you would add, you know, their stock video in here, their stock photos for podcast cover art. 462 00:43:31,499 --> 00:43:35,009 You want it to be static. So there's tons of stock, uh, photos. 463 00:43:35,009 --> 00:43:38,699 You can use all kinds of design assets, fun things that you can add. 464 00:43:39,029 --> 00:43:48,239 And then also if you go over to these templates, we can even search podcast and it'll give us some ideas for some podcast cover art designs. 465 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:49,708 So this saves you a ton of time. 466 00:43:49,709 --> 00:43:56,159 If you want to do some podcast cover art, you could just pick one of these if you want to and then just make changes to it. 467 00:43:56,159 --> 00:43:59,038 Just double click whatever you want to change, you know, 468 00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:04,229 and you could just start typing and then change the fonts over here, you know, change the image over here. 469 00:44:04,229 --> 00:44:11,549 You can even remove the background from an image so you can get a real layered, um, you know, nice layered, uh, graphic very quickly. 470 00:44:11,819 --> 00:44:15,569 And then you would just download it as either a PNG or Jpeg. 471 00:44:15,569 --> 00:44:20,368 It's usually PNG that they want, um, you know, for uh, for the cover art. 472 00:44:20,369 --> 00:44:27,449 So that's a great little side. And then you can also make social media graphics to promote your podcast this way. 473 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:37,289 So once we have a design we can actually duplicate this page and then resize it say for like Instagram Story and then resize. 474 00:44:38,099 --> 00:44:45,508 And then we could add some more content like episode one is on this topic or whatever, or add like a little icon, 475 00:44:45,509 --> 00:44:51,989 you know, to indicate which you know, which podcasts, you know, um, episode this is or whatever. 476 00:44:52,469 --> 00:44:54,118 And that's going to give me some suggestions. 477 00:44:54,119 --> 00:44:59,309 I can just go ahead and keep this one, and then I might have to adjust the design based upon the fact that it's a story now, 478 00:44:59,309 --> 00:45:03,929 and I can even animate sections of it. All kinds of great stuff you can do to support your podcast. 479 00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:10,499 So, um, we have a whole nother workshop on Adobe Express where the recording is on our website and all of that. 480 00:45:10,499 --> 00:45:13,589 So if you want to give further into that, you know, that is totally there. 481 00:45:14,009 --> 00:45:21,628 So that's Adobe Express to help you create your album art, podcasts, social media, uh, posts and everything like that. 482 00:45:21,629 --> 00:45:28,288 There's also just some other free music places, so if you want to get some free music library, Congress is great too. 483 00:45:28,289 --> 00:45:33,569 If you're doing like a history project and you need like, you know, primary source audio to use, 484 00:45:33,569 --> 00:45:39,149 you just would include the citation, like at the end of your podcast or in your transcript or wherever you post it. 485 00:45:39,659 --> 00:45:44,459 And then there's a bunch of free sound effects and all of that. If you want sound effects and all that good stuff. 486 00:45:44,609 --> 00:45:53,729 So those are the resources. Um, and then, um, also what I wanted to do is maybe show you very briefly, Adobe Audition. 487 00:45:53,999 --> 00:45:59,218 Um, so that is, um, a, uh, professional video editor. 488 00:45:59,219 --> 00:46:06,389 And so we'll go back up to Adobe Audition here. So to access the audition, it's a desktop app. 489 00:46:06,539 --> 00:46:09,629 So what I'm going to do is go down to the windows keypad. 490 00:46:09,899 --> 00:46:16,829 Um, and if you would like to follow along and you have Adobe Audition installed on that computer, it should be installed if you'd like to try it. 491 00:46:17,189 --> 00:46:20,639 But you would just go to the windows keypad and then look for audition. 492 00:46:22,209 --> 00:46:26,589 And then there should be Adobe Audition should show up. It's a little purple icon. 493 00:46:26,589 --> 00:46:32,289 So we would click that. And then once it loads. 494 00:46:32,319 --> 00:46:38,619 So to get Adobe Audition, you would make sure you sign up for your full Adobe ID at Adobe Dot Albany Edu, 495 00:46:39,039 --> 00:46:43,209 and then you would get a follow up email from the um, 496 00:46:43,269 --> 00:46:50,139 system from the OIT, basically saying you have access now and then you would have instructions for how to download Adobe Audition. 497 00:46:50,589 --> 00:46:54,608 Um, but notice when we first open it, it actually has a little learn feature. 498 00:46:54,609 --> 00:47:01,119 So we could go through and learn getting started. I'm going to show it to you, but these are great, um, little videos you can watch as well. 499 00:47:01,779 --> 00:47:06,839 So as you can see, Adobe Audition is a little bit more intimidating because you're like, okay, there's nothing here. 500 00:47:06,849 --> 00:47:09,939 What do I even do? How do I even get started? 501 00:47:10,269 --> 00:47:15,309 So less user friendly than Adobe Podcast, but it's a professional video, uh, audio editor. 502 00:47:15,309 --> 00:47:19,299 So you can do you have a lot more effects that you can choose and things like that. 503 00:47:19,749 --> 00:47:23,319 So the first thing we're going to do is we have to make a new file. 504 00:47:23,409 --> 00:47:27,519 So we're just in the workspace right now. We don't have a podcast started yet. 505 00:47:27,789 --> 00:47:31,269 So what we do is we go to file new multitrack session. 506 00:47:32,199 --> 00:47:39,819 And then we're going to give this, uh, example. Someone call this one sample car podcast and we can just save it to the computer for now. 507 00:47:39,819 --> 00:47:44,169 It's fine. The sample rate as it's listed is just fine. 508 00:47:44,169 --> 00:47:47,288 We can leave that alone. 32 bit is just fine as well. 509 00:47:47,289 --> 00:47:55,688 We can leave all of that alone and we'll hit okay. The only time you would want to change this to maybe like 4100 or something like that is like, 510 00:47:55,689 --> 00:47:59,199 if you were new, you were going to create a CD with this. 511 00:47:59,199 --> 00:48:04,059 Then there's a certain setting you have to do. But for for making MP3 these settings are fine. 512 00:48:04,419 --> 00:48:08,869 So we'll hit okay. Once we hit, okay, we get these tracks. 513 00:48:08,889 --> 00:48:13,029 We can give these tracks names by clicking on the title. 514 00:48:13,449 --> 00:48:17,049 So we would call this one maybe host. Right. 515 00:48:17,049 --> 00:48:22,059 And then we could maybe call this one music. So see how you can like name your tracks. 516 00:48:22,059 --> 00:48:25,659 And then you're going to combine these tracks to make a final MP3. 517 00:48:26,289 --> 00:48:29,379 So the first thing I need to do is record a little bit in audition. 518 00:48:29,379 --> 00:48:39,188 So to do that I select the track I want to record on and I hit the ah, so it's selected for record and now you can see my microphone is reacting. 519 00:48:39,189 --> 00:48:43,839 So it means it's set up properly. So that's a way you can check your microphone in Adobe Audition. 520 00:48:44,439 --> 00:48:52,689 Another way you would check is you could go to um under let's say it's under like preferences or yeah, preferences. 521 00:48:53,109 --> 00:49:00,339 And then you have to go to audio hardware. If you had to make adjustments to what microphone and what speakers did you want it to use. 522 00:49:00,489 --> 00:49:06,459 So again, whatever software you use, make sure you record a little bit and play it back and make sure it's working. 523 00:49:06,819 --> 00:49:11,558 So I'm going to go ahead and record a little bit. So now I'm recording an Adobe Audition, 524 00:49:11,559 --> 00:49:18,369 and this is where I would talk about my car podcast and talk about the different cars I've owned and which ones I liked, and so on. 525 00:49:19,539 --> 00:49:26,089 I would hit the stop sign, the stop button, or you can also use the spacebar on your, um, keyboard to stop it. 526 00:49:26,109 --> 00:49:32,529 So now we'll play it back. So now I'm recording in Adobe Audition, and this is where I would talk about my car podcast. 527 00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:36,038 Okay, great. So recorded. That sounds great. Awesome. 528 00:49:36,039 --> 00:49:40,149 Very good. Now, what I can do here is add some music. 529 00:49:41,229 --> 00:49:45,249 Okay. So I might do that. So I'm going to add that to this track. 530 00:49:45,819 --> 00:49:49,749 So to do that I have to have a file somewhere that has music. 531 00:49:49,899 --> 00:49:53,018 And you cannot just be importing like popular music. 532 00:49:53,019 --> 00:49:54,699 Right. Because that'd be violating copyright. 533 00:49:55,119 --> 00:50:04,929 So what I have to do here is I have to, um, open a file and I'm going to go to where I have that downloaded under downloads, 534 00:50:04,929 --> 00:50:11,579 and it's the rock intro, and I'm going to hit open. And then actually, I'm not going to do that. 535 00:50:11,609 --> 00:50:14,929 I'm not going to hit open. Let me undo that. 536 00:50:14,939 --> 00:50:18,869 Let's see. I got to go back to my podcast session here. 537 00:50:19,529 --> 00:50:23,969 Okay. So what I'm going to do is actually I have to import that opening. 538 00:50:23,969 --> 00:50:30,719 It just like makes you see the whole file. So I want to import the rock intro clip and then bring that in. 539 00:50:31,139 --> 00:50:33,599 Now I've imported it into my project. 540 00:50:33,689 --> 00:50:40,909 Now what I have to do is drag it to the track that I want it to be at, and it's going to tell me, hey, the sample rate is different. 541 00:50:40,919 --> 00:50:45,309 Do you want to make the match? And that's fine. I can say, okay, so that they match. 542 00:50:45,329 --> 00:50:55,169 Okay. So now let's play it back. So now we have an issue right where the audio is running in this to the same time as the as the voice. 543 00:50:55,169 --> 00:51:02,639 And obviously this is also too long. Um you know so we need to trim it so we can of course trim it by clicking and dragging here. 544 00:51:02,849 --> 00:51:08,758 And so that'll make it shorter which is great. Now I can also do this right and move these tracks. 545 00:51:08,759 --> 00:51:15,179 And now we have the music. So now the audition. 546 00:51:15,539 --> 00:51:18,949 That's pretty good. But it still kind of runs into it a little bit. 547 00:51:18,959 --> 00:51:21,509 I can fade this guy out if I wanted to. 548 00:51:21,749 --> 00:51:29,569 But another thing I can do that I wanted to show you, that makes audition very powerful is we can set the settings for these tracks. 549 00:51:29,579 --> 00:51:32,849 So we want to make sure that this one is dialog. 550 00:51:33,209 --> 00:51:36,719 And here's where we can also add do the vocal enhancer. 551 00:51:36,729 --> 00:51:41,709 So this is very similar to the enhance speech. But this has even more options. 552 00:51:41,729 --> 00:51:45,299 Okay. And then so we set that is voice which is great. 553 00:51:45,869 --> 00:51:51,829 And then we're going to set this one as music. And then what we can do is do this adjustment called ducking. 554 00:51:52,369 --> 00:51:58,159 So what the ducking will do is it reads the file above it to say, oh, somebody talking, 555 00:51:58,159 --> 00:52:03,799 I better make this track the volume less loud so that we can hear the people talking. 556 00:52:04,189 --> 00:52:07,909 So it will do that for us. And we can say how sensitive should it be? 557 00:52:08,119 --> 00:52:14,889 All of that. So now let's play it back. So now I'm recording an Adobe audition. 558 00:52:15,049 --> 00:52:22,179 Not much better, right? Yeah. So that is a powerful feature in audition that does not necessarily exist in podcasts. 559 00:52:22,359 --> 00:52:26,049 In podcast, it would be that set background, but you don't have as much control. 560 00:52:26,379 --> 00:52:29,829 And then you do also have all kinds of other settings you can do here. 561 00:52:29,829 --> 00:52:32,829 You have effects, you can add reverb to your voice. 562 00:52:32,829 --> 00:52:40,808 There's all kinds of other options with this. You could have so many tracks and you can keep layering your podcast and really control it. 563 00:52:40,809 --> 00:52:49,959 So there's a lot more you can do with audition. And then uh, when you are, uh, you know, ready, uh, to export it and all of that. 564 00:52:50,409 --> 00:52:58,389 Um, then what you would actually do is you would say, uh, file and then you would go to export, 565 00:52:58,599 --> 00:53:02,768 and then you would export the multitrack mix down addition additions. 566 00:53:02,769 --> 00:53:07,059 Also kind of fun because it makes you sound like you're some kind of DJ or something, which you are. 567 00:53:07,449 --> 00:53:10,149 Uh, and then you want to mix down the entire session. 568 00:53:10,149 --> 00:53:18,669 What that tells audition to do is to take all these tracks, put them together into one MP3 file or whatever file type you want. 569 00:53:18,789 --> 00:53:27,069 You do have more options with audition, and the way that audio works here in audition is very is the same in Premiere Pro. 570 00:53:27,069 --> 00:53:32,018 So if you were working on video and you need to do that, you could do that as well in there. 571 00:53:32,019 --> 00:53:35,799 So and that's how you would basically export it from Adobe Audition. 572 00:53:35,799 --> 00:53:40,479 And then you would say, where do you want it to be saved at? We can actually kind of look at that real quick. 573 00:53:40,629 --> 00:53:45,909 So we would go to export multitrack mix down. So you notice you can also export to Premiere Pro. 574 00:53:45,909 --> 00:53:49,749 So people will use those to like edit their audio for their video. 575 00:53:50,499 --> 00:53:54,788 And then you would say where do you want it to be saved at. What do you want it to be called? 576 00:53:54,789 --> 00:53:59,029 You can change what type of audio it is. You get tons of options. 577 00:53:59,079 --> 00:54:06,519 You would probably want MP3 is what you would want. And then you could say, where do you want it to be saved as um, and then you can hit okay. 578 00:54:06,879 --> 00:54:13,479 There's also other things that you can do here, um, where you can do the, uh, metadata. 579 00:54:14,079 --> 00:54:21,099 So, um, over here you have an option to do the let me go to the surface, show me the metadata over here. 580 00:54:22,099 --> 00:54:25,369 Um, let's see, where did it put my metadata panel? 581 00:54:27,369 --> 00:54:33,349 It's here somewhere. It's. See? Metadata. Oh, it might be here. 582 00:54:35,599 --> 00:54:40,819 Oh, here it is. I see it. Metadata. Okay, so this is the metadata panel. 583 00:54:41,209 --> 00:54:49,339 And actually I can maybe see if I can. Here we go. So the metadata um, this is where you would put the information about your podcast. 584 00:54:49,339 --> 00:54:53,509 And they usually want like the ID3 is what you would do for a podcast. 585 00:54:53,509 --> 00:54:59,988 So if you were uploading a, um, digital audio file to Spotify and all of that, um, 586 00:54:59,989 --> 00:55:04,308 it is a good idea to say you can say in audition, who is the what's the title? 587 00:55:04,309 --> 00:55:07,399 Who's the artist? You can even upload your album art here. 588 00:55:07,759 --> 00:55:15,229 And then that way it's all contained within the MP3 or WAV file so that whatever you upload it to has that metadata. 589 00:55:15,289 --> 00:55:20,989 So that's another advantage, um, of audition over Adobe podcast is a little bit more professional. 590 00:55:20,989 --> 00:55:24,139 You can even add a copyright if you added a copyright to it. 591 00:55:24,499 --> 00:55:29,559 Um, and all of that. So lots more options in um, Adobe podcast. 592 00:55:29,569 --> 00:55:36,378 You can also like split things. You have a little razor blade where you can cut these things, and then you can go back to the move tool, 593 00:55:36,379 --> 00:55:42,708 move these things around makes it, um, you have a lot more control, you know, a little bit easier and all that. 594 00:55:42,709 --> 00:55:47,509 But podcast is definitely easier to get started with. So that's Adobe Audition. 595 00:55:47,869 --> 00:55:51,139 I'm going to just close out and not save because I don't really care about this project. 596 00:55:51,139 --> 00:55:57,768 It was just a demo. Um, so that can kind of get you started there and then back on our presentation page. 597 00:55:57,769 --> 00:56:02,239 Um, we also have all kinds of resources here at the bottom. 598 00:56:02,659 --> 00:56:06,829 Um, let me see if I have the Adobe Creative space listed here. 599 00:56:06,829 --> 00:56:08,809 It should be. So here it is. 600 00:56:09,319 --> 00:56:18,879 So under additional resources, the Adobe Creative Space, we have a web page for our Adobe Creative Space that has our consultants listed. 601 00:56:18,889 --> 00:56:28,789 So if you guys have questions after today in podcasting, um, uh, what I would recommend is looking at the specialties of the consultants. 602 00:56:29,179 --> 00:56:32,118 And if they have Premiere Pro and video editing listed, 603 00:56:32,119 --> 00:56:38,569 then you can go see them for podcasting because they're used to editing audio the same way as in Premiere Pro. 604 00:56:38,989 --> 00:56:44,028 Um, I do have another consultant. Uh, I do have a consultant who knows, um, audio. 605 00:56:44,029 --> 00:56:47,389 He's out this week. Um, but he is listed here. 606 00:56:47,389 --> 00:56:53,209 So if we go to the Adobe Helpdesk, then I do have one that does, um, audio specifically. 607 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:57,589 Yeah. Consultant I knows audition, as well as video and audio editing. 608 00:56:57,859 --> 00:57:02,059 But any of them that also have Premiere Pro listed can help you figure things out, too, 609 00:57:02,059 --> 00:57:05,809 because they understand how to do audio in Premiere Pro, which is the same as audition. 610 00:57:05,809 --> 00:57:09,919 So and any of them can help you with Adobe Podcast. So if you have questions with that. 611 00:57:10,339 --> 00:57:13,849 So just wanted to show you that as a resource to get started. 612 00:57:14,269 --> 00:57:19,189 Okay. All right. So um, uh, that is what I wanted to share with you today. 613 00:57:19,189 --> 00:57:23,059 If you guys have, uh, questions, I'm happy to take questions. 614 00:57:23,329 --> 00:57:27,378 Um, otherwise, thank you all so much for coming today. And stay warm. 615 00:57:27,379 --> 00:57:29,597 And I hope you have a great rest of your day. Yeah.
