1
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:13,430
And if we have a couple more people join us, that's great. And again, putting the link in the chat real quick here.

2
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:19,280
aub.ie/ircpodcasting that'll get you to today's presentation.

3
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,940
So the the title says GarageBand and Adobe Audition,

4
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:26,750
but I advertise this as Adobe Audition and that's what we're going to focus

5
00:00:26,750 --> 00:00:32,030
on today because that's what we have access to through Adobe Creative Cloud.

6
00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:39,250
But I keep the GarageBand stuff in here because sometimes we have Mac users who want to kind of,

7
00:00:39,250 --> 00:00:44,810
you know, kind of get used to it or maybe they want to use GarageBand at first and then go to audition,

8
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:46,910
which actually personally,

9
00:00:46,910 --> 00:00:56,570
I think GarageBand is a little bit easier on the interface side if you're just trying to do something very simple that's recorded.

10
00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:59,930
Audition's just the interface is just a little different.

11
00:00:59,930 --> 00:01:06,080
But once you understand those concepts and once I show you the things I'll show you today with audition,

12
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,090
then you'll understand how to use it to do simple audio recordings.

13
00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:17,870
Also do podcasts, you know, maybe an audio intro to your portfolio,

14
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:26,660
maybe a an interview that you want to edit and put some information with and music and things like that.

15
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:30,050
So you'll be able to do all that by the end of the period periods.

16
00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:34,910
That really. Which is great. Yeah. So my name's Chelsy Hooper.

17
00:01:34,910 --> 00:01:39,170
I'm an instructional technology specialist here at Auburn in the libraries.

18
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:45,440
I work in the Innovation and Research Commons, which is on the first floor of the library and our website is here.

19
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,510
We have lots of great resources, including an audio studio.

20
00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:58,160
So if you would like a nice quiet place with a very nice iMac computer with a setup professional

21
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,410
grade microphone to just sort of walk in and record and nobody's going to bother you.

22
00:02:03,410 --> 00:02:11,150
You know, a lot of times we're trying to record and we're at home and somebody walks in, the dog barks, you know, this kind of stuff.

23
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:17,240
So in the NRC, we have an audio studio that you can check out online.

24
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,720
You just go to scheduling and reservations, and that's on the first floor of the library so you can totally just book it online.

25
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,440
And it's pretty turnkey. Once you go through our session today,

26
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,160
you'll be able to apply all of that knowledge to that room because it's already got the microphone set up and it already has additional installed.

27
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,420
Or you can take your laptop in there and just enjoy the sound dampened room because it's

28
00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:43,280
got dampeners in there and nobody's going to bother you and you can just book a space.

29
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:50,960
It's great for also for if you want to do like quiet Zoome interview calls where nobody's going to bother you and

30
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,360
you're not going to get a bunch of background noise through your microphone when you're trying to talk to somebody.

31
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:03,740
So that is a great resource that you can use. We also have a technology lending equipment.

32
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:10,000
So if you are out and about and you need to record audio like out in the field.

33
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,780
And you have maybe your mobile device that you're going to use that for.

34
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:25,150
We have microphones that will connect to your mobile devices like little lapel mikes that just have audio in or the Kinect via Bluetooth,

35
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:32,150
tripods, all this kind of stuff. So you can kind of have your setup and be out in the field and do that.

36
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:36,190
So we have equipment there that's available and you check it out just like you check out a book.

37
00:03:36,190 --> 00:03:42,920
So you just check it out with your tracker card. So we have all those sort of facilities which support podcasting.

38
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,990
We've had several people use our audio room for podcast podcasting, which is great.

39
00:03:46,990 --> 00:03:55,090
We also have a handout. So this is a document that I created that basically just kind of is like a cheat sheet for you.

40
00:03:55,090 --> 00:04:01,370
And this is the purple document if you're attending in person. This is also available on our website.

41
00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:06,820
So it's there digitally as well. And it's also linked on our audio studio website.

42
00:04:06,820 --> 00:04:13,450
So if you get into the audio studio like, oh, I don't know where that document is, I don't have it, I need to remind myself how to do this.

43
00:04:13,450 --> 00:04:21,220
It's linked there as well. So. And on this document, we're basically going to be going through the audition section.

44
00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:26,860
I include GarageBand, too, because sometimes that's the easy way to to get into it.

45
00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:31,720
And maybe people need to do it quickly and they haven't signed up for their idea.

46
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:40,720
But it's best to go ahead and go in to audition because then you can use that with other things like Premier Pro, which is great.

47
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,920
So we're mostly going to be using this sort of handout to go through.

48
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,870
And this is a tips and tricks reminds you, has some screenshots attached.

49
00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:56,170
So feel free to kind of keep this handy as we're working today and you can kind of refer to it.

50
00:04:56,170 --> 00:05:02,770
The information's also on our presentation page, so feel free to use that as well.

51
00:05:02,770 --> 00:05:07,840
But yeah, that's the NRC. And so we want to think about what is a podcast in the first place.

52
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:18,850
So it's basically an episodic series. So usually there's episodes with it and a digital audio or video files that a user can download or listen to.

53
00:05:18,850 --> 00:05:24,080
And so if we think about podcasts, we have all kinds of links that we can explore.

54
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:33,700
So if you're thinking of making your own podcast, the best thing to do is maybe listen to a few podcasts in the area of interest that you have.

55
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:40,270
And so you can check out the Apple podcast site. There's podcasts available on Spotify.

56
00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:48,100
This is a great example of podcasts if you're looking for a good example of how podcasts are used, especially in education.

57
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:56,500
He does a great job with all of his set up. He's he's a broadcaster, actually interviewed with him before.

58
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:00,880
He brings on all kinds of different educators and interviews them.

59
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,410
He goes to conferences and does like live broadcasts from conferences.

60
00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:13,000
And so he has a great insight about how do you create your own podcast, how do you build your brand?

61
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,870
And so I highly recommend teacher cast. And he also maintains a really good Twitter presence.

62
00:06:19,870 --> 00:06:27,040
[INAUDIBLE] respond to you if you tweet him and ask him questions. So just get an idea what are some good podcasts?

63
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:36,070
Today's session is really just going to cover the recording. There's a whole section of podcasting that involves like the publishing side of it.

64
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:40,720
We don't really get into that because it really kind of depends on how you want to do that.

65
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:47,890
And Auburn doesn't really offer a platform for that for you to publish, but you could do that on your own.

66
00:06:47,890 --> 00:07:00,310
And we have information on how to do that. So if you want to learn about how do you publish a podcast and there's even more options now like Spotify,

67
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:13,330
there are other services you can join on your own that can help you get your podcast on things like Spotify and other streaming services, Apple Music.

68
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:17,410
So it kind of depends on which direction you want to go and that sort of thing.

69
00:07:17,410 --> 00:07:24,880
But there is a curated good playlist here about how to publish, if you're interested in sort of that piece of it,

70
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,960
because you're setting up an RSS feed so that people can subscribe.

71
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,240
You know, today is really going to cover how do I record something like one episode essentially,

72
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,790
and then get it saved so then I can put it wherever I want.

73
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:47,710
So you could record an episode of podcasts for a class that you have to do for an assignment, maybe an intro on your portfolio that you want to do.

74
00:07:47,710 --> 00:07:54,700
But if you're interested in that and then there's also SoundCloud is another service that you can check out and get into.

75
00:07:54,700 --> 00:08:03,970
And here's just some handy links. If you're interested in getting your podcast out on the Internet, then how do you do that on Spotify, for example?

76
00:08:03,970 --> 00:08:09,110
And all of these, of course, usually involve some sort of subscription and.

77
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:11,100
You're setting up an account and things like that,

78
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:19,310
so we just kind of provide you with some ideas about how you might want to do that and then explore and see what's best for you,

79
00:08:19,310 --> 00:08:23,210
maybe see what other people use, you know, that are in your area.

80
00:08:23,210 --> 00:08:26,930
What what places are there? They are posting theirs.

81
00:08:26,930 --> 00:08:37,040
And then a lot of times, in addition to their podcasts, they'll record their podcast on video, too, and then and then put that on YouTube.

82
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:43,560
So it's like having a vlog, for example. So anyway, that's that's a whole nother piece today is really about how do I record.

83
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:51,650
OK, as you're thinking about your recording, though, you have to kind of have an idea of what it is that you want to put together.

84
00:08:51,650 --> 00:09:01,310
Like what kind of project is that? Are you planning a whole episodic series of podcasts is like for an assignment and it's a one and done type thing.

85
00:09:01,310 --> 00:09:05,630
Are you just interested in audio recording in general? I just want to kind of learn more about it.

86
00:09:05,630 --> 00:09:10,070
So when you're planning your audio recording, you want to think about who's the audience going to be,

87
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:13,370
what kinds of things are they going to be interested in hearing about?

88
00:09:13,370 --> 00:09:21,380
And then you want to at least develop an outline and ideally you want to develop a script, kind of depending on the nature of the podcast.

89
00:09:21,380 --> 00:09:27,800
Now, if you're interviewing somebody and you want it to be like natural, you're not necessarily going to have a script.

90
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:34,820
You might have your questions already put together. But then you might think of another question while you're interviewing them on the fly.

91
00:09:34,820 --> 00:09:41,990
And that's OK to record and add that in, because most people appreciate the podcast being sort of more natural.

92
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:46,730
Sounding like somebody's having a conversation is more interesting to us to hear.

93
00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:51,680
You want to have good intonation in your voice instead of a monotone and that kind of thing.

94
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:57,860
So the typical podcast outline, which on the back of the document,

95
00:09:57,860 --> 00:10:06,680
the sheet that's also electronic here on the computer, there is actually a simple outline for a podcast.

96
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:09,530
So this helps you kind of plan your podcast.

97
00:10:09,530 --> 00:10:15,620
So you might want to figure out what what's your podcast going to be called or what's your episode going to be called?

98
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:20,360
What style or what kind of music do you want to use?

99
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:26,660
What's your intro going to say? You're sort of introducing people to your podcast at your session.

100
00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:32,400
What's your body of content? Is it just you talking? Is it an interview or is there more than one person?

101
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,690
That's what this voice thing is for. So if it's you speaking, you can say, narrator if it's somebody else speaking,

102
00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:44,570
you can say Zoome interview or whatever it is or in person interview with so-and-so.

103
00:10:44,570 --> 00:10:50,720
What's your conclusion? Typically when people interview somebody, then at the end they kind of say,

104
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,030
so I really enjoyed talking to that person and this is what I learned from that particular interview.

105
00:10:56,030 --> 00:11:01,940
And then you're going to have some sort of consistent output of music and some sort of consistent outro, you know,

106
00:11:01,940 --> 00:11:08,120
that involves something like, you know, thanks for listening, like and subscribe, you know, that kind of stuff.

107
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,590
So this helps you kind of plan out what you want your dialog to be and your script.

108
00:11:12,590 --> 00:11:14,600
If it's for a class assignment,

109
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,690
typically it has to be pretty scripted because there's certain things like your instructor may want you to have in there.

110
00:11:20,690 --> 00:11:30,020
So you're going to want to like plan it out and have it written out that it's easiest for you to read off and just get it right, you know, and so on.

111
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:38,390
Other things you can do is when you're recording recorded and in smaller sections so you can easily rerecord if you need to.

112
00:11:38,390 --> 00:11:41,720
So if you have, like a whole page of content,

113
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:48,380
you don't want to read that entire page without pausing the recording and then restarting because it's going to be kind of hard.

114
00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:54,170
If you hear something where you messed up, it'll be a little harder to figure out where that is.

115
00:11:54,170 --> 00:12:02,630
Split it. I mean, you can do it, but it's just easier to give yourself a minute to take a breath and then start the next section,

116
00:12:02,630 --> 00:12:07,820
take a breath, start the next section, and then it'll be compiled altogether.

117
00:12:07,820 --> 00:12:15,470
You won't have gaps. And that way, if something gets messed up or you get interrupted, then you haven't ruined your whole take.

118
00:12:15,470 --> 00:12:20,480
You know, another attempt is to use a really consistent recording setup.

119
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,730
So if you use the audio room for the recording and then you don't finish,

120
00:12:25,730 --> 00:12:30,560
it's best to come back to that same audio room and finish the recording if you can,

121
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:37,340
because the environment is different, the sound is going to be different, and that will come out in your in your recording.

122
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:44,270
So you definitely want to do that. Even things like how far away from the microphone are you when you're speaking?

123
00:12:44,270 --> 00:12:49,100
So if you're recording this at home and you're using like a laptop or something,

124
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:56,180
even if you have something like the Apple earbuds that you can use, that helps cut down on the background noise a lot.

125
00:12:56,180 --> 00:13:00,740
So definitely use something like that if you can, but keep it consistent.

126
00:13:00,740 --> 00:13:04,760
If you're this far away from your laptop when you're recording, keep doing that.

127
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,450
Every single time you record, people forget or don't think about those.

128
00:13:09,450 --> 00:13:16,320
And then the sound sounds really different and you can do some editing, you know, to help improve the sound,

129
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,520
but you really don't want to have to do that because it's going to take some time.

130
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,110
Easiest is to set yourself up for success in the first place.

131
00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:31,590
If you're collecting interviews, you can use things like Zoom, you can use voice memos on your mobile device.

132
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:36,730
Again, we have microphones you can check out. So that improves the sound.

133
00:13:36,730 --> 00:13:42,480
And again, just keep using that consistently. Use it with all of your interviews and that sort of thing.

134
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,920
You can also book the audio studio and come use that as well.

135
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:54,270
Another tip is to record your own sound effects. So if you are doing like a podcast on, say, the library,

136
00:13:54,270 --> 00:14:00,000
we might actually want a recording of like some of the noise of students walking in and out of the library.

137
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,320
So we might just go to record that ourselves.

138
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:11,490
And if you record things yourself, then you're essentially you're you're owning that material so you don't have to worry about,

139
00:14:11,490 --> 00:14:17,310
oh, this is copyrighted and that kind of thing. And then also this is just a.

140
00:14:17,310 --> 00:14:22,400
These are tips for recording a Zune meeting. So if you needed help with that.

141
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:30,810
So if you have to interview someone and they're not nearby and you're going to recorded a resume, these are just this is just some tips about that.

142
00:14:30,810 --> 00:14:34,740
I recommend recording to the cloud and then you can download it.

143
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:42,000
And then that way you've got a raw copy still in the cloud. So if you mess something up or your computer dies or something like that,

144
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,880
you still have that copy of that recording and then just start making record automatically.

145
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:56,070
So you don't forget to hit that record button and then you could because you can trim down the ends that you don't need and do some cuts and stuff.

146
00:14:56,070 --> 00:15:01,980
So one piece of software you can use if you're a Mac user is GarageBand.

147
00:15:01,980 --> 00:15:07,230
We also do have garage band installed in the audio room and also in the computers

148
00:15:07,230 --> 00:15:11,970
in the NRC and our Mac laptops that are available for checkout in the library,

149
00:15:11,970 --> 00:15:17,040
of course, automatically come with them. GarageBand is also available on the iPad and the iPhone.

150
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:23,160
So if you really in a pinch and you got to do something super quick, you can do it on your mobile device.

151
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,050
It wouldn't be very fun, but you could do it. So there's information here about GarageBand.

152
00:15:28,050 --> 00:15:32,070
We're going to kind of skip that part and go right into audition.

153
00:15:32,070 --> 00:15:37,050
OK, but just so you know, there are other software tools that you can use.

154
00:15:37,050 --> 00:15:45,870
Another one that is really super simple and easy is a free download called Audacity.

155
00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:54,090
It's just that because it's free, technically, you know, it's it's not necessarily you know, it doesn't come with an operating system.

156
00:15:54,090 --> 00:15:57,990
Is this it's not a license piece of software that we own and that sort of thing.

157
00:15:57,990 --> 00:16:01,590
It's it's OK to use. And it's super simple.

158
00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:05,610
It doesn't do a whole lot. But if you're in a pinch, you just got to do a quick recording.

159
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:13,170
That's another piece of software you can use. But Adobe Audition is free with your Orben Adobe ID.

160
00:16:13,170 --> 00:16:17,910
So hopefully you have already been to Adobe that you you signed up for your idea.

161
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:26,160
You've got additions installed on your computer and then there's also a video tutorial here that's just a resource for you.

162
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,730
So if you want to go more into depth than what I do today,

163
00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:37,170
you can check out this video tutorial and it talks about more specifics about podcast and that sort of thing.

164
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:45,570
And another great feature of audition is that in many of the Adobe apps is when you open it for the first time,

165
00:16:45,570 --> 00:16:51,810
it realizes that you haven't opened that application before and it usually automatically opens up to the learn menu.

166
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:56,190
And there are some options in there. So you walk you through some steps.

167
00:16:56,190 --> 00:17:01,110
But I'm going to do that for you today. But I'm also going to show you that as well.

168
00:17:01,110 --> 00:17:07,920
So what we're going to do is we're going to happen to audition and then just start getting started with some recording and stuff like that.

169
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:18,750
If you would like to either kind of follow along today or if you'd like some sample files to mess around with, feel free to go to this one dry folder.

170
00:17:18,750 --> 00:17:23,790
And I have some sample audio files that you are welcome to use.

171
00:17:23,790 --> 00:17:30,000
This is a folder of some sound effects that you can open and pick a sound effect from if you want to.

172
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,700
And these are just some different MP three files.

173
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:41,610
This first one is one that I made so we can show you how to cut it up and then re arrange it in the correct order.

174
00:17:41,610 --> 00:17:47,610
And if you want to download it, you can just click the little three dots and hit download if you would like to do that today,

175
00:17:47,610 --> 00:17:52,710
or you can just follow along by kind of recording yourself. So that's fine too.

176
00:17:52,710 --> 00:18:01,890
And then if you need like a quick, like, music file that you like to use to follow along, you can also click that one and click download.

177
00:18:01,890 --> 00:18:09,000
But I just tossed several empty threes. These are very small, empty three files, very quick so you can just have something.

178
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:19,110
To play around with so if we had already recorded some things and we had them saved on our computer, then we were going to bring them in to audition.

179
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:25,590
That's one way of doing it. Another way is to just open audition and begin recording right away so you can do either one.

180
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:30,090
And you might end up doing a little bit of both, depending on what your project is.

181
00:18:30,090 --> 00:18:34,650
So those are the sample files. If you'd like to try those, you're welcome to.

182
00:18:34,650 --> 00:18:38,550
And so we're going to go ahead and hop in to audition.

183
00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:44,850
This sort of has our lesson plan for today and also just some information as we go through it.

184
00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:50,190
And it's also pretty similar to the purple handout. So we're going to get started with audition.

185
00:18:50,190 --> 00:18:55,170
So if you would like to feel free to open audition.

186
00:18:55,170 --> 00:18:59,460
And also, if you're online with us today and you have a question,

187
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:06,210
feel free to just type that in the chat and I'll do my best to watch the chat as we go through the program today.

188
00:19:06,210 --> 00:19:12,930
OK. All right. So once we open audition and I'm actually going to open up the audition learn tab here,

189
00:19:12,930 --> 00:19:18,390
because if you have not opened up audition before, it might automatically open to this window.

190
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:22,440
If it doesn't, you can go to help audition learn.

191
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:30,060
And so if you forget something that we talked about today and you just need a quick reminder, this is a great place to go.

192
00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:35,430
This is just a little learned to have. These are the many of the Adobe tutorials.

193
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:41,430
I pull that information from from their tutorials to teach you guys so that what you can continue learning and so on.

194
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:46,020
But you notice there's one called create your first podcast, but it's pretty minimal.

195
00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:50,970
And I'm going to add some more stuff for you so that these are some ideas,

196
00:19:50,970 --> 00:19:56,730
audition remixes, super cool thing that you might want to explore a little bit later.

197
00:19:56,730 --> 00:20:06,810
If you've got a piece of video and you want to match the music to a section of that video, it'll take like, say, a forty five second music clip.

198
00:20:06,810 --> 00:20:12,820
It'll remix it down to 30 seconds and it'll read the music and figure out what best is,

199
00:20:12,820 --> 00:20:17,340
what's what's the best way to play that music to make it fit 30 seconds instead of forty five.

200
00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:23,340
So it's kind of a really cool remix thing. You can also learn how to reduce background noise and that kind of thing.

201
00:20:23,340 --> 00:20:26,970
So all kinds of stuff in the learn tab. But today I'll be working with you.

202
00:20:26,970 --> 00:20:31,260
So. So the first thing is we should just take a minute to look at the interface,

203
00:20:31,260 --> 00:20:35,400
because when you first open audition, you're like, OK, where is everything and how do I even get started?

204
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,400
Right. So up here, we've got our menu items that we can refer back to in a little bit.

205
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:48,360
The most important thing is what are when we're getting started is to understand the difference between waveform and multitrack.

206
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:56,170
So waveform basically shows you the audio waves of your files and multi-track what is shows you your track.

207
00:20:56,170 --> 00:21:00,450
So most of the time you're going to want to be in multitrack view.

208
00:21:00,450 --> 00:21:01,800
That's really important.

209
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:11,940
The other thing that's important over here is on this little sort of arrow tab, on the right hand side, which workspaces are we in?

210
00:21:11,940 --> 00:21:18,100
So usually when you're getting started, you want to either be in simple editing or a classic.

211
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:22,440
OK, so we're going to choose like simple editing workspaces today.

212
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,710
And then that helps us sort of clean up our interface and we can not be as overwhelmed.

213
00:21:27,710 --> 00:21:33,240
OK, so the first thing we're going to want to do over here is we need to create a new file.

214
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,720
So we're just going to get a file, new multitrack session.

215
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:45,960
OK, if we wanted to create just one track audio file, we could choose audio file.

216
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:52,050
But I don't really like that view very much. And it's better for you to just learn how to do multiple tracks at the beginning anyway.

217
00:21:52,050 --> 00:21:57,240
So let's go ahead and go to multitracked session. Now, here we have some options.

218
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:04,920
We first need to give our session a name, so I'm going to call this guy sample podcast.

219
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,330
Now, the next thing we need to look at is where are we saving our podcast file?

220
00:22:09,330 --> 00:22:14,220
This is an audition native audition file right now.

221
00:22:14,220 --> 00:22:18,160
It's not an empty three. It can be played yet. And all of that is where's it going to be safe?

222
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,410
So you would just check that and make sure that's where you want to be, say, most of time and puts it into documents.

223
00:22:22,410 --> 00:22:30,090
Adobe Audition, which is perfect. That's fine. On your hard drive now here where we have a template option.

224
00:22:30,090 --> 00:22:34,290
Let's look at this for just a moment and then we're going to come back to the nine.

225
00:22:34,290 --> 00:22:38,310
But if you notice, there is a podcast template.

226
00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:43,340
So if you go to podcast here and then we had OK.

227
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:52,790
Now, what it does is it has set up a multitracked session for us and it has prompted us with some ideas for our podcast.

228
00:22:52,790 --> 00:22:59,330
So if you like the idea of kind of jumping into a template like this and that's helpful to you,

229
00:22:59,330 --> 00:23:02,870
feel free to use this template because look what it's done.

230
00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:12,290
It has renamed the tracks for us. So the first track is the host talking, which is the main track, and the next one is the interview.

231
00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:19,610
So that would be like interviewing somebody. And then there's one for sound effects, there's one for music.

232
00:23:19,610 --> 00:23:29,450
So encouraging us to put background music in. And then finally, the master track, which essentially just means once once we save it,

233
00:23:29,450 --> 00:23:34,350
it puts it all together into one file, one, MP three or whatever you choose.

234
00:23:34,350 --> 00:23:41,180
OK, so there's this option and it also has given you some ideas for what you should put up here.

235
00:23:41,180 --> 00:23:50,900
So it's encouraging you to put a 30 second intro and then the main body and then a 30 second outro and then you're done with your podcast.

236
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:53,810
OK, so there's there's that as an option.

237
00:23:53,810 --> 00:24:01,430
OK, for today, though, I'm actually not going to choose that one because I want you to kind of get the idea that you can build it yourself.

238
00:24:01,430 --> 00:24:11,550
Right. So we're going to go to file new multitracked session and this time we're going to choose no template.

239
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:18,380
OK, so I still call this one sample podcast and then I'm going to hit, OK?

240
00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:22,750
And yes, it already exists, but yes, I'm going to overwrite it.

241
00:24:22,750 --> 00:24:27,030
OK, so this view, you can see you have a little bit more flexibility.

242
00:24:27,030 --> 00:24:35,030
OK, so you don't have to sort of adhere to their 30 second intro and 30 second outro and how long that template is and that kind of thing.

243
00:24:35,030 --> 00:24:39,410
This gives you a little more flexibility, but now you kind of have the understanding of that.

244
00:24:39,410 --> 00:24:47,600
So our tracks, it is a good idea to have that outliner script in mind as you're doing your tracks.

245
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:57,410
And so you can rename them you just click on track one or whatever the name is, and you can call this host or whatever you want to call it.

246
00:24:57,410 --> 00:25:03,020
Now, here's sort of the tricky part is just to make sure that your input.

247
00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:09,620
OK, so this little sort of interface here is important to understand what all the parts are.

248
00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:13,250
So input is default, stereo input.

249
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:18,230
Most of the time you're going to want it to be set to whatever the default is for your machine.

250
00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:27,680
If you have any problems with that, like if you record and you play it back and you can't hear yourself, then you need to adjust your settings.

251
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,030
As far as audition and your audio hardware, your computer.

252
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:36,230
So what you can do if you need to fix that is you can go to a little area and use

253
00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:42,230
audio hardware and you can make sure that it's choosing the right microphone setting.

254
00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:49,790
In this case, I'm using the Yati that's attached and then the default, whatever the default speaker is, make sure the speakers are attached.

255
00:25:49,790 --> 00:25:56,360
But sometimes if you've got speakers and a headset set up, then you're not going to hear one of the other.

256
00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:00,830
And this is why. OK, so just make sure all of that is set properly.

257
00:26:00,830 --> 00:26:04,040
And that's where you can check that, OK?

258
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:12,860
We do want the output to go to the mics next means it's going to go to the it's going to be included in the final file when I save it,

259
00:26:12,860 --> 00:26:23,180
when I export it. So we do want that. And then we have a volume control on the left hand side so we can control the volume of this track up or down.

260
00:26:23,180 --> 00:26:29,900
We renamed it already. And then over here we have some options we can choose to record on this track.

261
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:36,980
Here's what's kind of weird about this interface. You have to hit the R, so R means I intend to record on this track.

262
00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:38,510
It sort of activates it.

263
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:45,050
And since it's activated, you can see I'm getting a little equalizer thing and that's a good sign that it's picking up my microphone.

264
00:26:45,050 --> 00:26:51,950
So that's good. I want to see that. And you want your sound to not be going over up into the red.

265
00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:55,840
So if you see it going up into the red, you're too close to your microphone.

266
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:02,450
OK, so just kind of just that and play around with that and get it set and then keep it the same for for everything that you need.

267
00:27:02,450 --> 00:27:09,290
OK, and then what you can do is when you're ready to record just off the record button here.

268
00:27:09,290 --> 00:27:17,960
So currently we are recording our podcast and we can hit the little stop sign and then we can we can scroll back, OK,

269
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:27,080
so we can move ahead to the previous setting, to the previous clip, beginning in the clip and then hit the space bar.

270
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,530
So currently we are recording our podcast to play it back.

271
00:27:30,530 --> 00:27:34,070
And so now we have confirmed our audio stuff is working.

272
00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:39,350
The worst thing is if you recorded your entire podcast and none of it actually recorded because you didn't check that.

273
00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:42,310
OK, so always check to make sure your hardware were.

274
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:50,230
Properly in the first place, so that's how we can just straight up go into a session and start recording the M stands for Mute.

275
00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:58,930
So if we wanted to mute a track while we were listening to another track so we could hear if there were issues with it, we can do that.

276
00:27:58,930 --> 00:28:04,780
And then the S means, I just want to listen to this track, only mute all of the others.

277
00:28:04,780 --> 00:28:08,320
So these are things you can do while you're editing other things you can do.

278
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:15,070
So that's how we record directly into addition. Now, what about if we had previously recorded files?

279
00:28:15,070 --> 00:28:24,100
How do we bring those in? OK, so over on the left hand side, you have the files window and if you don't see the files window,

280
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:29,740
the little panel, or if you're looking for another panel later on, you can't find it.

281
00:28:29,740 --> 00:28:35,260
Go to window in your workspace and make sure that it's check marked, that it's present.

282
00:28:35,260 --> 00:28:39,540
So that means it's somewhere here or over here or down here.

283
00:28:39,540 --> 00:28:43,090
Some means it's there somewhere if that's checked.

284
00:28:43,090 --> 00:28:48,190
OK, so what we can do for files is we can go to import file.

285
00:28:48,190 --> 00:28:54,730
So it's got a little file folder with like a little arrow. So now what we can do is navigate to our practice files.

286
00:28:54,730 --> 00:29:02,320
And in your case, you would navigate either to the practice files if you want to try that or if you went and recorded somebody like on your voice,

287
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,820
memos, phone, whatever it was, get it, save to your computer.

288
00:29:06,820 --> 00:29:10,990
It's good practice anyway to have multiple copies of your stuff.

289
00:29:10,990 --> 00:29:16,660
So I would recommend getting your files that you want to use in your podcast on see the hard drive of the computer

290
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:24,610
you're going to be using and maybe also put them in a box or one drive or some other cloud storage just just in case,

291
00:29:24,610 --> 00:29:30,130
just so you have them, because you would hate to have this great interview with somebody and then lose it.

292
00:29:30,130 --> 00:29:33,910
And then you might have to ask them to do it again and you might not get that chance or whatever.

293
00:29:33,910 --> 00:29:37,030
So just have a backup if your master files,

294
00:29:37,030 --> 00:29:45,820
but always work locally because the system is going to work better that way if it wants to pull from a local file.

295
00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:49,970
So in this case, we can bring in one of these files.

296
00:29:49,970 --> 00:29:57,550
So we'll just click the first Pharmacyclics the first one and bring that in. Now it's over here in my files, but it's not in my podcast yet.

297
00:29:57,550 --> 00:30:03,730
So now I need to bring it into my files. So I'm going to click on it and I'm a click and drag.

298
00:30:03,730 --> 00:30:07,510
And right now I'm on the move tool and I can move it wherever I want.

299
00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:16,030
And if I have put the play ahead in a certain spot, see how it kind of snaps to the play so you can use that to kind of help you edit.

300
00:30:16,030 --> 00:30:21,910
Now, I recorded this actually in GarageBand, so it used a different rate, but it's fine.

301
00:30:21,910 --> 00:30:25,270
It'll like convert it. So I'm just going to hit OK, let it convert it.

302
00:30:25,270 --> 00:30:28,840
OK, and now we can provide access to high end tools,

303
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:34,600
technologies and this one is just a phrase that I really innovation and research so we can see to cut it out,

304
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:42,970
support innovative research you or I Einarsson when there is a new facility on the first floor of Orbanes Main Library.

305
00:30:42,970 --> 00:30:47,530
So those are good tips of those are good places where I could probably cut it.

306
00:30:47,530 --> 00:30:55,360
Right. So if I need to cut this up to rearrange it better, I can see pretty clearly this one is like completely flat right there.

307
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,160
So that means I can cut it. So in order to cut one or split it,

308
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:09,610
you put your head where you want it to be split and then it's going to be you're going to control OK or a command K UniMac, OK.

309
00:31:09,610 --> 00:31:15,520
You can also use what they call the razor tool, which is up here. But just be careful with the razor tool.

310
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,950
It'll wherever you click, that's where it's going to cut. I prefer to use the play head games.

311
00:31:20,950 --> 00:31:25,780
I feel like that gives me a little more control about where I'm actually going to cut it.

312
00:31:25,780 --> 00:31:32,950
You can also use this tool up here to kind of zoom in and out of.

313
00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:39,430
So if you need to zoom in, you can also think it's control plus, you know, to zoom in as well.

314
00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:47,770
So you can kind of get zoomed in and really listen to play it back and listen to it access to high end like I did technologies and in person.

315
00:31:47,770 --> 00:31:51,580
OK, so other things you might want to do, you might want to delete it.

316
00:31:51,580 --> 00:31:58,090
Clips, you might want to cut something. Maybe I don't want the last part so I can cut it again.

317
00:31:58,090 --> 00:32:05,530
Control. OK, and if you're not getting the cut feature, make sure you have clicked on your clip and selected it first.

318
00:32:05,530 --> 00:32:12,100
You have to do that first. If you're not, click on it and you just put the play head somewhere and you try to cut it, it's not going to work.

319
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:15,040
OK, you have to have that selected do any kind of edits to it.

320
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:22,360
You must select your clip for other things you can do is you can trim so well, first of all, let's do this.

321
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,020
Since we cut let's say we decided we don't want that little part.

322
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:31,210
We just want to get rid of it. We have a couple of options we can just delete on the keyboard.

323
00:32:31,210 --> 00:32:35,890
We can also. Right. Click and get lots more options to work with our clips.

324
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:40,030
Now, let's talk about this concept of REPL delete.

325
00:32:40,030 --> 00:32:47,570
So in addition. And this goes for like premier pro, too, so this is good to learn for that as well.

326
00:32:47,570 --> 00:32:52,400
If you just hit delete, let's just try it. Notice it left the gap, right.

327
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:58,700
So now, if I want to fix that, I have to go back to this clip and kind of snap it back into place.

328
00:32:58,700 --> 00:33:07,370
Right. So if I don't want to do that, which I can control your commands and undo all of that, then what I can do is right.

329
00:33:07,370 --> 00:33:14,870
Click, reply, delete. And just the selected clips notice and just automatically shoved everything down.

330
00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:23,300
This is super handy. If you've got lots and lots of clips, you don't want to have to manually slide all of those over, OK.

331
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:31,100
Another thing you can do to help with that is notice there's a gap here because I had recorded and then I imported something.

332
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:40,100
I can also. Right. Click on the space and then I can reply, delete the gap and that's going to shove everything down.

333
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:50,720
So some people like to do that. They like to go ahead and get their clips in and let them be a little bit spaced out, listen to all of it.

334
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,820
And then once they for real have it put together, then they just go through and delete the gaps.

335
00:33:55,820 --> 00:34:07,340
Or you can also leave a gap if you want some sort of silence in between or if we wanted some music to play in between, then we could leave those gaps.

336
00:34:07,340 --> 00:34:11,840
So use that to help you. Another thing we can do is to trim.

337
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,940
So let's see. At the end, it looks like I've got a lot of space here at the end saying nothing.

338
00:34:16,940 --> 00:34:24,440
Right. That's useless. So if I don't need that, then I can put my cursor on the bottom right hand side, click and drag.

339
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,920
And this trims it so I can trim to the play head if I want.

340
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:37,430
OK, so that helps me sort of snap to it. Or I can just click and drag however I feel like it.

341
00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:41,780
And what's nice is if I change my mind I can drag it back out.

342
00:34:41,780 --> 00:34:46,700
So it's nondestructive at in Adobe Audition, which is really cool.

343
00:34:46,700 --> 00:34:51,170
So we've trimmed, we've done delete.

344
00:34:51,170 --> 00:35:01,460
We probably want to maybe scoot our clips down because maybe we want some sort of like intro music first, maybe something like that.

345
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:05,930
And then we have our introduction and then we have our sample audio that's going on here.

346
00:35:05,930 --> 00:35:11,720
So let's maybe call this track to maybe call this guy music, OK?

347
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:20,660
And in this case, we're going to need another file. So we're going to go import another file and let's do the rock intro.

348
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:22,820
We also have some sound effects here, too.

349
00:35:22,820 --> 00:35:28,280
So if you wanted to play around with one of those, you could be let's do the rock intro and then we're going to open it.

350
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:35,540
Now it's in our files panel over here. So we're going to now we're going to drag it to the second track.

351
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:42,080
And again, I pulled this from another file so it doesn't match the rate, but it's just saying I'm going to match the rate for you.

352
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,980
That's fine. So it's just kind of kind of convert it for me. Great.

353
00:35:45,980 --> 00:35:55,890
So now we can hear this rock. Let's see what we get. So apparently it's a problem, we can't hear the voice, right?

354
00:35:55,890 --> 00:36:00,030
That's the issue that's not going to work for a podcast is going to tell us that.

355
00:36:00,030 --> 00:36:06,840
So we can do a couple of different things. We can know how to trim now.

356
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:14,790
Right. And we've got this clip selected so we can control, OK to trim and we can get rid of the rest if we want to.

357
00:36:14,790 --> 00:36:19,450
So we can just delete that. OK, and now we have this intro.

358
00:36:19,450 --> 00:36:24,570
OK, so bad it can maybe use a fade.

359
00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:32,160
Right. So let's see. Maybe we can do if we have a couple of different options for Faid, we can actually click on it.

360
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,210
Let's see if it's in the right one. And I don't remember if it's in this one. It may not be.

361
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:44,240
You can do Faid up here and edit I know for sure. And then you can choose the C for us.

362
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:50,700
We should be afraid. If there's not an automatic fade that I'm seeing right now, we can definitely do it this way.

363
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:56,250
Here's what we do. You go to the little boxes here. These are fade in and fade out.

364
00:36:56,250 --> 00:36:59,220
So you just click and you can kind of fade out.

365
00:36:59,220 --> 00:37:06,600
So you're bringing down this little yellow line represents like the volume and you can adjust that however you want.

366
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,810
Another thing you can do is if you wanted it to fade out and fade in equally,

367
00:37:12,810 --> 00:37:21,240
you can hold the see and do that you can hold that was control, let's say.

368
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:25,200
Yes, I'm going to do it on America's command, but I'm the PC are doing it.

369
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,090
This is my first time. Let's see if it's alt. Yep. It's alt option.

370
00:37:30,090 --> 00:37:36,630
OK, and if you hold alt option and drag one side, it's going to drive the other side equal amount.

371
00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:43,110
So no, let's play it back and see that fade up.

372
00:37:43,110 --> 00:37:46,920
Currently we are OK, so that's something we can do. We can do that.

373
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,100
If we want to add more music in the background though, we could do that.

374
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:58,350
So if we undo what we did and get our clip back the way it was, basically here's something else we can do.

375
00:37:58,350 --> 00:38:06,840
OK, so this one we told it, it's music here, but audition doesn't really know it's music yet because we need to tell it.

376
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:17,160
What what type of audio is this? So if we click here and then if we go to the essential sound panel is all we want.

377
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,810
So we went to window. Essential sound is what we went through to get this.

378
00:38:21,810 --> 00:38:26,100
This is really important because this is a great feature for you to use.

379
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:33,810
Select the clip you want to designate, you know, as whatever type it is and we're going to designate this is music.

380
00:38:33,810 --> 00:38:38,310
So we're going to tell audition, hey, this track is music, OK?

381
00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:45,520
And then if we scroll down and this little and I'm going to make this panel bigger, maybe you can see might be easier.

382
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,530
OK, we have some options, we could either lower the entire volume of this track,

383
00:38:50,530 --> 00:38:54,340
but that's not really what we want because that means the intro would be lower to. Right.

384
00:38:54,340 --> 00:39:02,050
So we want it to when when there is dialog going on, when somebody is talking, we want the music to automatically go down.

385
00:39:02,050 --> 00:39:04,000
That's called ducking.

386
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:10,930
So it's really important to understand that concept of ducking because if you never heard that before, you have no clue what that is.

387
00:39:10,930 --> 00:39:20,080
So ducking means the program will automatically detect the waveforms of the dialog.

388
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,660
And when the dialog has a bigger waveform,

389
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:32,950
it'll reduce the volume automatically of the music off of that track of that particular track so we can even increase the amount,

390
00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:41,650
make it making the music quieter. We can adjust this manually, we can see how it works and then keep adjusting it if we want to.

391
00:39:41,650 --> 00:39:50,980
And so now we've got that ducking. OK, and then the other thing we need to do is make sure that audition knows that this track is all voice.

392
00:39:50,980 --> 00:39:58,240
So a couple of things we need to do here. We can't just choose one clap because then it'll just affect the one clap.

393
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:07,530
So here's something we can do. We can go to the edit select and we want to select all clips in the selected track.

394
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:16,780
OK, this is a nice feature for you to know because maybe you want to apply in effect to all of the voice or all of one track.

395
00:40:16,780 --> 00:40:20,890
Got to know how to select all the clips because you would have done some editing by this point.

396
00:40:20,890 --> 00:40:28,730
Right. So we can do that. And now we go back into our essential sound panel and we tell it this is dialog.

397
00:40:28,730 --> 00:40:33,160
OK, so now we've got that all set up now to see what happens.

398
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:44,210
OK, so we'll. So currently we are going to have the background music that provides access automatically.

399
00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:50,480
I wouldn't recommend doing this through your entire podcast. You know, it's not usually a good idea,

400
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:58,790
but it's a good way to kind of begin and then you can cut that later and then cut it up and have it fade out completely.

401
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:03,290
So you can you can do the you can combine these these skills.

402
00:41:03,290 --> 00:41:09,290
You can have it start out with the music and then do the docking and then you can cut it.

403
00:41:09,290 --> 00:41:12,620
You can sit there and then have it fade out completely.

404
00:41:12,620 --> 00:41:17,870
And then that way you've got a little bit of ducking while somebody's talking and you can do the same thing on the right.

405
00:41:17,870 --> 00:41:23,660
Like you can tell like when you watch TV or something, they start playing the music and then, you know, the programs about over.

406
00:41:23,660 --> 00:41:29,540
Same thing with the podcast. You can do that going in to an outro as well.

407
00:41:29,540 --> 00:41:32,760
You can also manually adjust the volume of these.

408
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:39,110
So if you need to increase the volume of the voice because you didn't get that good of recording, you can increase the volume here.

409
00:41:39,110 --> 00:41:45,110
You just drag it a little bit to the right. This means decibels, OK, the one point, whatever.

410
00:41:45,110 --> 00:41:51,320
So that's what you want to increase. It looks like it's not doing a lot, but it's pretty significant.

411
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,970
Most of the time. A plus or minus three is a pretty big difference.

412
00:41:55,970 --> 00:42:05,360
OK, and so now we have our music, we have our audio and we've done we've done quite a few things.

413
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,960
Now, what we could keep doing is do a sound effect. We can cut this.

414
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,780
We could have a space in between. Sometimes people have like a little intermission in their podcast.

415
00:42:14,780 --> 00:42:18,830
You know, you could do something fun in there. Somebody tells a joke, whatever it is.

416
00:42:18,830 --> 00:42:26,600
A little funny vignette type thing, but those are kind of the essentials of getting started with the recording.

417
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:31,760
Let's go back and check our lesson plan and see what we need to do or what else we need to do.

418
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:37,690
We did trimming clips. We did fading out.

419
00:42:37,690 --> 00:42:42,650
Oh, it's the equals sign to zoom in to track. So let's maybe try that.

420
00:42:42,650 --> 00:42:48,730
So should be equal sign to zoom in. OK, and then it was what, minus to zoom out.

421
00:42:48,730 --> 00:42:52,690
So that's a great way to zoom in and see what's going on with your tracks.

422
00:42:52,690 --> 00:42:59,200
You can also adjust your panels and your audio in your audition interface here.

423
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:05,380
So any of these panels that you see, you can adjust and move around depending on what you need.

424
00:43:05,380 --> 00:43:11,260
Also, the history panel over here shows you all the history of your edits.

425
00:43:11,260 --> 00:43:16,000
So if you need to go back in and fix something, you can click that and say, never mind.

426
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,030
I don't want to adjust the docking. I just want to believe that. So that's very nice feature.

427
00:43:20,030 --> 00:43:25,790
You can kind of go back and fix that if you would like to. Let's see what else we need to do.

428
00:43:25,790 --> 00:43:31,300
Oh, the mixer. So if you want to do some fun effects to your voice and stuff like that,

429
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:37,360
depending on if you want to do it to the whole track, you know how to go to edit, select on the track now.

430
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,490
But if you just want to do it to a clip,

431
00:43:39,490 --> 00:43:48,250
there's some effects that you can choose so you can add reverb to your voice, know you can do all kinds of things.

432
00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:53,860
You can increase the pitch. This is a nice thing to you can do noise.

433
00:43:53,860 --> 00:43:59,620
So if you get some audio and you're trying to reduce the background noise, it'll do this for you automatically.

434
00:43:59,620 --> 00:44:04,430
So it uses artificial intelligence to read this.

435
00:44:04,430 --> 00:44:07,870
OK, OK, great. So somebody has got a question in the chat.

436
00:44:07,870 --> 00:44:12,220
What if you had to record two people at the same time? That's a good question.

437
00:44:12,220 --> 00:44:17,830
So if you had to record two people at the same time and they're in the same location,

438
00:44:17,830 --> 00:44:25,750
then what you could do is if you use a microphone like the one I'm using or like this in the audio room,

439
00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:34,180
sometimes microphones like these that are the desk standing ones that are a little bit higher grade microphones,

440
00:44:34,180 --> 00:44:40,630
you can set their settings to capture all the way around the microphone.

441
00:44:40,630 --> 00:44:47,350
This particular one is set to capture just the front because I'm the only one using it.

442
00:44:47,350 --> 00:44:52,510
But you can get microphones that will and also the one in our audio room will do that.

443
00:44:52,510 --> 00:45:01,750
So you can tell it to set know. But really, if as long as they're comfortable kind of being sort of close to each other,

444
00:45:01,750 --> 00:45:05,470
then a microphone like this, it doesn't really matter what the setting is.

445
00:45:05,470 --> 00:45:12,460
If they're in the same room and they stay about the same distance away from the microphone, it's going to pick them both up very well.

446
00:45:12,460 --> 00:45:15,670
Another option would be to record, of course,

447
00:45:15,670 --> 00:45:25,000
each of their tracks separately and then bring them in to audition or in and put them together on the track.

448
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,430
But you lose that sort of more natural feeling with that.

449
00:45:29,430 --> 00:45:34,600
You can tell actually, there are several movies like especially cartoon movies.

450
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:41,890
There are some companies that will only record with each other live in the same room because of that reason,

451
00:45:41,890 --> 00:45:46,660
because they say if I told this character to go record his or her parts and then

452
00:45:46,660 --> 00:45:51,550
I tell this character to record his or her parts and they can't see each other,

453
00:45:51,550 --> 00:45:56,560
they're just going off of a track, then it sounds way less natural.

454
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:04,790
So you have some people who swear by recording together and that's like really important to them and then other people can manage.

455
00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:12,220
So we just kind of it kind of depends. But I would say just do your best to get the microphone in front of each person.

456
00:46:12,220 --> 00:46:17,110
And if you have to have a gap in the recording, that would be OK,

457
00:46:17,110 --> 00:46:25,360
because then you could trim it here and get rid of the sort of the space in between, you know, if you're physically moving back and forth.

458
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:33,970
Yeah. So hopefully that helps to try to be consistent with the distance, the type of microphone, the type of environment as much as you can.

459
00:46:33,970 --> 00:46:40,270
And then your audio is going to be better because of that. Let's see what else we knew we were going to do the mixer.

460
00:46:40,270 --> 00:46:45,490
So you can also do all kinds of effects under the effects panel.

461
00:46:45,490 --> 00:46:52,060
I won't pull up these effects today, but you can see where you could add reverb and then apply it.

462
00:46:52,060 --> 00:46:56,710
There's also a filter and an equalizer you can pull up if you want to play with those.

463
00:46:56,710 --> 00:47:04,120
If you wanted to add an echo, which sounds kind of cool, especially for an intro or outro, I would recommend using it for your entire podcast.

464
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:10,600
That would drive people crazy. So you don't want to do that, but you can also go to window Mixu.

465
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:15,970
So we're going to get a window and then Mixu and there's where you can see sort of the equalizers.

466
00:47:15,970 --> 00:47:22,610
OK, and if I wanted to increase the volume of one, this is kind of like a little mini soundboard.

467
00:47:22,610 --> 00:47:30,790
OK, so I've got sort of my track volume here. And then there's all kinds of settings, of course, that we won't really go into today.

468
00:47:30,790 --> 00:47:40,160
But you can see how you could adjust. All these different tracks and things like that, and there's lots that you can learn with mixing it later.

469
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:46,910
We won't really go into a ton of that today, but some basics are just try to get really good audio in the first place.

470
00:47:46,910 --> 00:47:54,290
And then to get back to we just click back on our ED panel, OK, since we had the mixer panel open it, just opened it there.

471
00:47:54,290 --> 00:48:01,580
Just try to be real consistent with the audio that you're getting in the first place and that will save you a ton of time.

472
00:48:01,580 --> 00:48:08,600
But you can go back and do some other effects like fix like modulation.

473
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:18,980
Noise reduction is a great one that you could use. Also, sometimes you can go to depending on what setting I have got here,

474
00:48:18,980 --> 00:48:25,370
I can go to the DSR and I'll take out those type sounds and people make noise like that.

475
00:48:25,370 --> 00:48:34,970
So those are some options there. When you are not using audition, if you're done editing for the day, just be sure you've it saves as you go.

476
00:48:34,970 --> 00:48:40,010
But it's always a good idea to hit, save and then quit audition.

477
00:48:40,010 --> 00:48:46,880
And then when you're ready to continue editing, re-open, audition, because just like any other computer program,

478
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,380
if you just let this file open, you just shut your laptop and ran to class.

479
00:48:51,380 --> 00:48:55,910
That file could get corrupted and you don't want to lose all of your great editing work and so on.

480
00:48:55,910 --> 00:49:04,280
So hit save and then you can quit it and reopen it and continue working in it later.

481
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:11,540
Oh, for the podcast information you can also put in, it's important to put in the metadata for your podcast.

482
00:49:11,540 --> 00:49:21,230
If you're going to submit it to something like Spotify, then you would go to window metadata and let's see where did it put.

483
00:49:21,230 --> 00:49:27,590
My metadata usually puts it way over here. So we had to move these panels out of the way.

484
00:49:27,590 --> 00:49:34,310
So if we can get it, here we are. And usually the one that you want for podcasting is called ID three.

485
00:49:34,310 --> 00:49:39,560
And here's where you put it in the title of your podcast, you as the artist.

486
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:50,420
There's album art. You could put your podcast out there. You could put some comments, that kind of thing, have a website address.

487
00:49:50,420 --> 00:49:57,740
And so you would just put that information in there and that would be saved with your file that gets exported,

488
00:49:57,740 --> 00:50:03,710
which you would then upload to your service with that SoundCloud or Spotify or whatever it is.

489
00:50:03,710 --> 00:50:09,530
OK, and then the last thing that we need to talk about today is exporting our file.

490
00:50:09,530 --> 00:50:15,320
So once we have all of these things put together, we've got maybe our host,

491
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:20,630
our music, our interview, our intro or outro, maybe a couple of sound effects.

492
00:50:20,630 --> 00:50:31,940
Everything's done. What do we do next? So the next thing we're going to do is we're going to go to file export multitracked, mixdown, entire session.

493
00:50:31,940 --> 00:50:37,670
So that means take all of my tracks, save them all together in one MP three.

494
00:50:37,670 --> 00:50:43,290
OK, so let's go back and do that so final and then we're going to get an export.

495
00:50:43,290 --> 00:50:47,730
Multitracked mixdown and then entires selection.

496
00:50:47,730 --> 00:50:56,460
Now, if I just had one clip selected, I could choose just the selected clip to mixdown and that would export that as MP three.

497
00:50:56,460 --> 00:51:00,930
So if you just wanted like one part it one track, you could, you could do that.

498
00:51:00,930 --> 00:51:05,370
But typically you want the antirecession because you want all your edits that you get in there.

499
00:51:05,370 --> 00:51:14,040
So now here is where we can choose the different file types that we can save it as typically you're going to want MP three,

500
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,120
but just pay attention to wherever you're going to put it.

501
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:25,200
If you're doing this, like for a class or for your Web page or something like that, then MP three is typically going to be best.

502
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:30,090
And that's what you're going to export it as. And that's a pretty recognized file type.

503
00:51:30,090 --> 00:51:34,170
And then you can upload that to, say, Wick's or Weebles or WordPress.

504
00:51:34,170 --> 00:51:40,260
And that's just a regular audio file that it will accept. And somebody can display that on your on your Web page.

505
00:51:40,260 --> 00:51:43,830
So that's an idea, too. You can kind of do it manually that way.

506
00:51:43,830 --> 00:51:49,210
Just put it on a Web page and have people click it, but then they can't subscribe and it's not as convenient.

507
00:51:49,210 --> 00:51:55,100
So that's the downside to that. But you would choose what file type do you want to save it as?

508
00:51:55,100 --> 00:52:00,980
And then typically, you just want to leave all those other settings, the entire, you know, the same that they are,

509
00:52:00,980 --> 00:52:08,190
it's going to mix down the entire session and we can tell it to open the file after export.

510
00:52:08,190 --> 00:52:15,350
That's a good idea to do that. It's a good idea. After you have done finished exporting your file,

511
00:52:15,350 --> 00:52:21,110
go back and listen to it and make sure that it exploded correctly and that you didn't miss

512
00:52:21,110 --> 00:52:26,900
anything and just make sure that the whole thing is finished in the the way that you wanted.

513
00:52:26,900 --> 00:52:31,010
If you have any problems, you can always just go back in to audition,

514
00:52:31,010 --> 00:52:37,610
make your edits that you need to make reexport and you're good so you can just keep doing that.

515
00:52:37,610 --> 00:52:43,730
We won't export it today because I don't want it to slow down the computer and take time while we're zooming and all of that.

516
00:52:43,730 --> 00:52:50,390
But that's the essence of sort of getting started with podcasting.

517
00:52:50,390 --> 00:52:57,560
In addition, here are some great other resources I wanted to show you here.

518
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:03,710
If you need help connecting a certain microphone, this is even more assistance on how to do that.

519
00:53:03,710 --> 00:53:06,650
I showed you where to go to get to the audio hardware.

520
00:53:06,650 --> 00:53:12,860
But if you're having trouble, typically if you're having trouble is because not everything is turned on and connected.

521
00:53:12,860 --> 00:53:23,900
OK, so if you're trying to connect a microphone, make sure that it is actually connected with its Bluetooth or USB or whatever it is,

522
00:53:23,900 --> 00:53:32,450
make sure that your software is open and active, because a lot of times if the software is not even open,

523
00:53:32,450 --> 00:53:36,350
it's not even going to find the hardware because it's not looking for it.

524
00:53:36,350 --> 00:53:44,510
So have everything open and turned on as best as you can tell, like with the with our Yeti Mike here,

525
00:53:44,510 --> 00:53:48,860
it gives you the red signal to let you know that it's active and in use.

526
00:53:48,860 --> 00:53:57,020
OK, so just make sure everything is plugged in the way that is supposed to be set loose and stuff like that.

527
00:53:57,020 --> 00:54:01,160
There's all kinds of additional tutorials here with getting started.

528
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:09,050
And in addition, they Adobe has fantastic resources on learning more about it.

529
00:54:09,050 --> 00:54:18,920
Here is somebody also who I recommend for if you're really interested in kind of getting more into like professional side podcasting,

530
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:26,990
this guy is very good and he has a addition podcast template file that he has built that he's just letting you use,

531
00:54:26,990 --> 00:54:30,680
if you would like to, royalty free music for Adobe Audition.

532
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:36,260
They actually change their links. And I haven't updated this page yet, but they do exist.

533
00:54:36,260 --> 00:54:40,820
You just go to you can Google free sound effects,

534
00:54:40,820 --> 00:54:49,280
Adobe Audition and then make sure you get to the Adobe dotcom result and they actually have sound effects that you can download.

535
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:55,760
So that's one sort of little caveat of Adobe audition is you have to bring those files in like we did.

536
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:02,390
They have to exist somewhere else first. You can't just like makes it pulled music right from within audition.

537
00:55:02,390 --> 00:55:06,770
GarageBand has loops that come with it that you can pull in Adobe premiere.

538
00:55:06,770 --> 00:55:15,380
Rush has loops that come with that you can pull in. So with audition, they actually have a couple of sites that you can go in.

539
00:55:15,380 --> 00:55:21,560
You're welcome. You have full license when you have an Adobe Creative Cloud account to use these.

540
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:26,600
So you just go to download free sound effects and you can get those.

541
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:32,090
They also have another one that they call sound effects. That's really more like loops.

542
00:55:32,090 --> 00:55:39,230
So these are music that you can like, ambiance and all kinds of things that you can download.

543
00:55:39,230 --> 00:55:45,770
So you have to just download those on your computer first, then you would bring them in as files just like we did.

544
00:55:45,770 --> 00:55:51,020
So that's one caveat of audition. You can also record your own music.

545
00:55:51,020 --> 00:55:55,370
So if you play an instrument, you could just record yourself playing the music.

546
00:55:55,370 --> 00:56:00,650
And that's a great way to get music for your podcast is just great yourself.

547
00:56:00,650 --> 00:56:08,330
Also in the Innovation and Research Commons, we have Adobe consultants who are available to help you.

548
00:56:08,330 --> 00:56:18,680
So when you go to our website, so the Adobe Creative Spaces on the first floor, innovation and research comments and we have peers.

549
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:25,280
So these are students who are employed by us who are working in a helpdesk.

550
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:30,470
So you can either come get help in person. And this is right around the corner from the audit room.

551
00:56:30,470 --> 00:56:38,660
So, like, they could go in there and help you if you needed help. You can look at their area of specialty first.

552
00:56:38,660 --> 00:56:44,840
So notice that consultant I know audition knows music and audio technology.

553
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:50,090
So that would be definitely the one that you would want to ask questions of.

554
00:56:50,090 --> 00:56:54,520
The others could probably especially the ones that have video editing experience could.

555
00:56:54,520 --> 00:57:01,210
Probably help you figure out whatever you need, but that particular consultant does specialize in that.

556
00:57:01,210 --> 00:57:06,650
So you would just look up on the schedule and say, oh, a consultant is going to be there at six o'clock tonight.

557
00:57:06,650 --> 00:57:14,020
So that's when I should go ask. Or you can pop into the Zen room and they're watching the same room as well.

558
00:57:14,020 --> 00:57:21,310
They do both. So if you can't physically get here because it's raining cats and dogs outside and stuff like that, then you can certainly do that.

559
00:57:21,310 --> 00:57:29,500
Consultants are available for anybody at Auburn who would like assistance with multimedia.

560
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:37,810
So students, faculty and staff, while our focus is on helping students because our main mission is helping them develop skills,

561
00:57:37,810 --> 00:57:46,360
digital literacy and that sort of thing, if a staff or a faculty member has a question, they can help you.

562
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:57,290
So, yes, they're available to anybody at the Auburn community, students, faculty and staff, and so use them as a resource.

563
00:57:57,290 --> 00:58:01,750
And then there's also a few other free music sites.

564
00:58:01,750 --> 00:58:06,730
Always check what the licensing is on these, though, just in case,

565
00:58:06,730 --> 00:58:13,900
especially if you're thinking of republishing your podcast publicly, then just check it.

566
00:58:13,900 --> 00:58:21,970
Many of these are totally royalty free. Some of them will say, please, just give our website credit.

567
00:58:21,970 --> 00:58:28,120
So you would just say music by joystick. You put that in your ID three information or on your website.

568
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:32,660
OK, and then so those are some options there.

569
00:58:32,660 --> 00:58:43,210
Yeah. So we have we also we have a feedback survey that you'll be getting tomorrow that you're welcome to complete that will come in an email.

570
00:58:43,210 --> 00:58:47,530
Or if you would like to take a minute now to fill out the little feedback survey for us.

571
00:58:47,530 --> 00:58:54,490
This was a new workshop for us today. So we're always looking to improve. So feel free to give us some feedback.

572
00:58:54,490 --> 00:59:05,230
And we really appreciate you guys coming today and learning about Adobe Audition, getting started with some podcasting and things like that.

573
00:59:05,230 --> 00:59:10,565
And just let us know if we can help and really appreciate you guys being here.
