1 00:00:06,143 --> 00:00:10,073 [Auto-generated transcript. Edits may have been applied for clarity.] Um, so we also have an Adobe help desk down there. 2 00:00:10,433 --> 00:00:12,923 So it's staffed with student employees. 3 00:00:12,923 --> 00:00:20,692 So if you guys have questions about podcasting after today, um, they can assist you so much to kind of show you that first. 4 00:00:20,693 --> 00:00:25,673 And the link is on this page, if you all would like to go ahead and log on to the computer in front of you. 5 00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:33,743 And then if you would like to bring up this short URL on your browser, the Obby slash iac podcasting. 6 00:00:34,373 --> 00:00:40,673 Um, this is just a little presentation page, and I will just close out of this so we can see a little bit better. 7 00:00:41,183 --> 00:00:45,353 This is a presentation page and it's going to have lots of helpful links for you. 8 00:00:45,805 --> 00:00:49,745 So this is actually an Adobe Express web page. 9 00:00:49,765 --> 00:00:53,664 Adobe Express is another app that we can look at, maybe briefly at the end. 10 00:00:53,665 --> 00:01:02,124 It might help you because if you are a little unsure, getting started in something like Photoshop or Illustrator Express is web based. 11 00:01:02,125 --> 00:01:07,735 It's kind of like Canva, but it's Adobe, so it's better and it's drag and drop web based interface. 12 00:01:07,945 --> 00:01:12,984 You can use it to create your podcast cover art, and that would be a cool, fast way to create it. 13 00:01:12,985 --> 00:01:18,595 So, um, yeah. But so you feel free to kind of follow along with me on the presentation page. 14 00:01:18,925 --> 00:01:20,394 Um, and uh, 15 00:01:20,395 --> 00:01:26,845 there's some additional things about podcasting that you guys on this page that you guys may want to explore kind of on your own after today. 16 00:01:27,145 --> 00:01:32,245 Today we're mostly going to focus on hands on in the software. So you really know how to use it and all of that. 17 00:01:32,665 --> 00:01:40,225 But if you're thinking about, hey, what kind of podcast should I do all this kind of stuff, then there's, uh, some additional resources on this page. 18 00:01:40,675 --> 00:01:40,743 Also going to kind of give you a cheat sheet. So this is sort of a handout that kind of goes along with our workshop today. 19 00:01:45,919 --> 00:01:53,209 we're mostly going to be we're going to skip the GarageBand pieces and go right to Adobe Audition, which is starting on page two. 20 00:01:53,209 --> 00:02:00,679 So that's kind of where we'll start today. And we will go through these audition, uh, how to record using Adobe Audition. 21 00:02:01,129 --> 00:02:08,268 And this is a sheet that you can keep with you refer back to kind of get some screenshots, remind you what tools do what and things like that. 22 00:02:08,269 --> 00:02:15,529 So feel free to kind of use that as we go along today. Um, and also you guys mentioned that you've been to the audio studio. 23 00:02:15,529 --> 00:02:21,409 So, uh, but a reminder that after today, after you're kind of oriented to the software, it'll be easier to use. 24 00:02:21,809 --> 00:02:31,638 And, uh, reminder that to sign up for it here, you know, and all of that, you can also contact, um, uh, Miss Eileen Hall. 25 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,229 Her information is right here. 26 00:02:33,229 --> 00:02:41,509 So if you want a one on one orientation to the audio studio and you want her to go over it with you, you can just schedule that with her individually. 27 00:02:41,929 --> 00:02:47,898 Now we are doing a workshop on just the audio studio this Thursday. 28 00:02:47,899 --> 00:02:51,199 I believe she's doing it, like at 2:00 if you're available. 29 00:02:51,679 --> 00:02:54,199 So yeah, yeah, yeah it happens. 30 00:02:54,619 --> 00:02:59,779 But if you're not available and you want a one on one sort of orientation to it, you can just email her and set that up. 31 00:02:59,899 --> 00:03:04,099 Okay. So but after today I think you'll be better, you know, set to use it. 32 00:03:04,489 --> 00:03:09,379 Um, we also have technology lending where you can check out equipment. 33 00:03:09,379 --> 00:03:16,969 So if you want just an external microphone that connects to your own laptop, and then you have a fairly quiet space to record, you could do that. 34 00:03:17,359 --> 00:03:22,758 Um, like we have these nice desktop mikes. Uh, we have headsets just like you're going to use today. 35 00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:28,369 We have those available for checkout for free to, um, so we have some, you know, accessories and stuff like that. 36 00:03:28,369 --> 00:03:31,399 Or if you needed to go do an interview in the field, 37 00:03:31,609 --> 00:03:37,729 we have microphones that connect to your smartphone so you can have a lapel mic interview somebody and record it. 38 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:42,439 Um, so we have that technology as well. So if you want to check stuff out, it's totally free. 39 00:03:42,979 --> 00:03:47,619 All of that. And then as you guys are thinking about your podcasts, 40 00:03:47,619 --> 00:03:55,029 you might also just listen to some podcasts and get some ideas and figure out what you like about them. 41 00:03:55,329 --> 00:04:00,309 Um, you'll notice that several of them will have sort of a sort of a template that they use. 42 00:04:00,339 --> 00:04:09,039 They might have intro music, and then they have maybe a standard title sequence that they go through introducing the, the, uh, podcast in general. 43 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:13,149 Then they might go into what's this particular episode going to be about? 44 00:04:13,539 --> 00:04:19,629 Then they might have an interview, then they might have a summary, then they might have an outro, an outro music. 45 00:04:19,629 --> 00:04:24,339 And then that's the end of the podcast. You know, so you can kind of get an idea of what you like. 46 00:04:24,609 --> 00:04:27,938 Some people just do straight up audio recording. 47 00:04:27,939 --> 00:04:31,088 It's just two people talking and that's it, you know? And there's nothing wrong with that. 48 00:04:31,089 --> 00:04:37,179 So it's kind of however much you want to put into it and all of that. But there are some example podcasts here. 49 00:04:37,179 --> 00:04:40,539 That's a good way to get an idea of what type of podcasts you might like. 50 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,068 You can get the podcast through Apple or Spotify. Uh, teacher cast. 51 00:04:45,069 --> 00:04:51,669 He does a really good job of a podcast that's more educational, so I kind of show that one as an example or have it here. 52 00:04:52,269 --> 00:04:54,758 Um, and then we don't really cover, 53 00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:00,549 like the publishing part of it during this workshop because Auburn doesn't provide any sort of publishing platform for you. 54 00:05:00,729 --> 00:05:07,808 But there are links here to if you wanted to do a vodcast and you wanted to publish it on YouTube as well, 55 00:05:07,809 --> 00:05:16,629 that talks about how to do that or how to publish your podcast to YouTube playlist, because there's YouTube music, there's also SoundCloud. 56 00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:22,299 That's a free one that you can use to publish, you know, just to to post your, uh, podcast too. 57 00:05:22,539 --> 00:05:27,009 And then there's information here about how to do that through Spotify if you have that. 58 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,749 So think about where you want to put your podcast later is a good idea too. 59 00:05:32,049 --> 00:05:39,069 Um, and there's resources here to go back to that. And then another thing you'll want to do is like plan out your podcast. 60 00:05:39,429 --> 00:05:44,289 Uh, think about who you want your audience to be and what sorts of things they would be interested in. 61 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:49,869 Maybe have an outline or script, um, on the back of your handout as a suggested little template. 62 00:05:49,899 --> 00:05:55,359 You know, you don't have to use this. This just gives you an idea for what you might want to include in your podcast. 63 00:05:55,689 --> 00:06:02,349 And, uh, some people are really strict about it and write out an entire script and then say the script, but if it's more informal, 64 00:06:02,559 --> 00:06:07,449 it could just be whatever topic you guys happen to want to talk about, and you can totally do it free form. 65 00:06:07,449 --> 00:06:12,428 So, um, you can or you can have sort of a little bit of a loose outline that you're going to go through. 66 00:06:12,429 --> 00:06:18,879 So but having at least an idea of what you want to do before you hop in and get the computer and then, 67 00:06:18,969 --> 00:06:25,659 you know, uh, before you kind of commit yourself to having recording time is a good idea. 68 00:06:25,659 --> 00:06:30,399 So, um, even just a test recording plan to do a test recording, and that would be good. 69 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:34,959 Um, other tips that I like to give people for recording in general. 70 00:06:35,709 --> 00:06:42,159 It's, uh, if you're going to, if you're trying to get a very nice published podcast that sounds really good and professional, 71 00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:51,549 maybe record it in sections. That way, if you screw up and have to redo a part, it's very easy to just delete that one section and then redo it. 72 00:06:51,969 --> 00:06:57,159 Um, in audition, I'll show you how to cut it and then, you know, you could rerecord, 73 00:06:57,489 --> 00:07:04,029 but when you're especially when you're just getting started and, uh, it helps to kind of just do it in pieces. 74 00:07:04,029 --> 00:07:08,859 Plus it gives you time to, like, breathe, you know, go into the next section and that and that sort of thing. 75 00:07:09,579 --> 00:07:15,069 Uh, whatever set up you guys decide to use, try to be consistent with it. 76 00:07:15,459 --> 00:07:18,728 So if you're going to always use the audio studio, then always do that. 77 00:07:18,729 --> 00:07:23,019 If you're always going to get a desktop mic and connect it to your laptop, then do that. 78 00:07:23,229 --> 00:07:29,679 If you're going to go sort of low maintenance and just use your earbuds connected to your laptop, 79 00:07:29,679 --> 00:07:36,008 which does have a microphone attached and does a decent job, if you're in a quiet enough and small space, then do that. 80 00:07:36,009 --> 00:07:40,148 But try not to be somewhere crazy noisy and then crazy quiet and try to put 81 00:07:40,149 --> 00:07:44,019 those two together and the same podcast that won't that won't work very good. 82 00:07:44,799 --> 00:07:49,359 Um, if you're going to interview people, you can also record via zoom. 83 00:07:49,809 --> 00:07:54,579 So that's an easy way to get in touch with people or interview people who are not close by. 84 00:07:54,969 --> 00:08:00,729 Um, you just record it to the cloud in zoom, download the MP3, bring that MP3 in, and then edit it. 85 00:08:00,729 --> 00:08:05,739 So that's the easy way to do it. We already talked about the technology learning and audio studio. 86 00:08:05,769 --> 00:08:10,479 Another tip is to record your own sound effects. That's kind of a fun thing to do. 87 00:08:11,169 --> 00:08:15,699 And then we will, uh, go ahead and hop into Adobe Podcast in just a second. 88 00:08:15,729 --> 00:08:21,189 We'll do that one first because that's easier. And then we'll go into audition, which is more professional. 89 00:08:21,429 --> 00:08:29,919 Okay. Um, there are um, also, uh, we'll we'll come back to the, uh, garage to Adobe Podcast GarageBand. 90 00:08:29,949 --> 00:08:33,249 I put some information in here in case people wanted to use it. 91 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:40,629 Here's the support link and things like that. We teach audition because that's what all the students are guaranteed to have access to. 92 00:08:40,809 --> 00:08:43,899 Maybe not all the students have a mac and don't have GarageBand. 93 00:08:44,329 --> 00:08:48,259 Uh, but this walks you through how to use GarageBand. 94 00:08:48,259 --> 00:08:55,189 If you wanted to do that. Some of the tricks with GarageBand are essentially to, um, change. 95 00:08:55,309 --> 00:08:58,939 Because GarageBand is meant automatically for recording instruments. 96 00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:03,078 You have to change like the time sequence and get rid of the metronome and stuff like that. 97 00:09:03,079 --> 00:09:06,169 And people don't realize that at first. So those are just some tips there. 98 00:09:06,649 --> 00:09:11,399 Um, but what we will do is, uh, we will going to we're going to come back to audition. 99 00:09:11,419 --> 00:09:14,899 We're actually going to go scroll down and go down to Adobe Podcast. 100 00:09:15,319 --> 00:09:22,339 So let's go to Adobe Podcast first, which is actually going to be further down here, um, on this presentation. 101 00:09:23,089 --> 00:09:26,269 Okay. So Adobe Podcast is basically new this year. 102 00:09:26,689 --> 00:09:33,408 This tool is still technically in beta. So be a little forgiving if it kind of messes up a little bit on you, 103 00:09:33,409 --> 00:09:42,349 but it's web based podcast recording, so that means nothing is necessary to download to your computer. 104 00:09:42,349 --> 00:09:45,829 There's no difficult software to learn to understand. 105 00:09:46,099 --> 00:09:53,059 You can send somebody a link and invite them to your session if they're not right there with you, and they can record with you. 106 00:09:53,449 --> 00:09:59,179 So pretty nice. And this is sort of the future of some of the podcast recording, which is really cool. 107 00:09:59,749 --> 00:10:01,939 It also comes with an enhanced speech. 108 00:10:01,939 --> 00:10:08,779 You can just upload a audio file to it, and it'll will automatically use AI to improve the quality of the audio. 109 00:10:09,139 --> 00:10:12,919 And there's a free mic check to make sure your microphone is set up correctly. 110 00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:19,009 So some great things, but it is powered by Adobe Premiere Pro's speech to text technology. 111 00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:28,459 Essentially what you do is you record in the web, it puts the transcription in words on the screen, and you edit the words, and that edits the audio. 112 00:10:28,909 --> 00:10:32,119 So there's no like cutting or timeline to get confused with. 113 00:10:32,419 --> 00:10:36,409 If somebody says, um, you can literally just delete the word um and it will take it out. 114 00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:40,218 So that's pretty cool and pretty neat, and we'll give it a try today. 115 00:10:40,219 --> 00:10:52,299 Okay. But after today, if you need some review, here's a quick video on how to record a podcast with Adobe Podcast and how to edit audio for video. 116 00:10:52,339 --> 00:10:58,159 That's just another one, but this main one is the main thing. Okay, so let's hop into Adobe Podcast. 117 00:10:58,339 --> 00:11:06,458 So to do that, we can just open a new tab and go to podcast.adobe.com okay. 118 00:11:09,361 --> 00:11:14,071 So if you go to podcast.com, do both of you all have your Adobe ID set up. 119 00:11:14,881 --> 00:11:22,561 Okay. Perfect. Yeah. So what you should be able to do is sign in on the right hand side and then you, 120 00:11:22,561 --> 00:11:25,981 uh, I'm already signed in because I signed in earlier, so remember me. 121 00:11:26,671 --> 00:11:32,041 Uh, but you sign in using your full Auburn email address and your Auburn password, 122 00:11:32,041 --> 00:11:37,471 and then if it says personal account or company or school account, you want company or school account. 123 00:11:42,511 --> 00:11:50,641 Um, the enhanced speech just lets you take any sort of voice recording from wherever you got it, and you would have it saved on your computer. 124 00:11:51,031 --> 00:11:58,531 And then what you would do is you would just upload the video file here, tell it to enhance the speech, it processes it, 125 00:11:58,531 --> 00:12:05,581 and then you would download it back down and then put it in whatever you wanted after that, whether that's Adobe Podcast or Adobe Audition. 126 00:12:05,821 --> 00:12:13,891 So that's just one quick little tool that you can use. There's also a mic check and that just as a quick little mic check for free. 127 00:12:14,281 --> 00:12:17,910 So I've got my mic connected. So do you. You guys have mics connected to. 128 00:12:17,911 --> 00:12:21,631 So if you want to use it you can hit um uh start or allow. 129 00:12:22,021 --> 00:12:26,821 And then if it gets little, if you get a little prompt to allow, you definitely want to allow not block. 130 00:12:30,611 --> 00:12:33,791 And then once you do that, you can hit test. Mike. 131 00:12:35,771 --> 00:12:39,361 Check. Check, check. 132 00:12:39,601 --> 00:12:46,611 How is my microphone setup and placement? Let's see. 133 00:12:47,391 --> 00:12:50,631 And then once you hit stop, then it tells you the answer. 134 00:12:51,051 --> 00:12:51,163 Yeah. It won't do it live, it'll do it. 135 00:12:55,670 --> 00:13:00,050 Turn down the gain. Okay. So yours probably doesn't really have that setting. 136 00:13:00,050 --> 00:13:03,860 But see, on a desktop mic I would have a setting that I could adjust. 137 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,330 So that's what it's telling us anyway. So that's the little quick mic check. 138 00:13:08,780 --> 00:13:13,220 Now let's go into podcast studio. This is where we actually record. 139 00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:19,040 So we'll say go to studio. Now notice it's in beta. So we'll be a little forgiving if it kind of messes up. 140 00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:25,810 And then what you'll hit is new project. Okay. 141 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,160 And then let's look at the interface for a second just so we know what's going on here. 142 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:35,349 So right now we can start a recording. Here's where we can invite guests to record. 143 00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:37,540 We can also invite guests up here. 144 00:13:37,930 --> 00:13:46,180 And then we can invite them with the link or with email if they if you choose email, they probably need to have their Adobe ID set up with an email. 145 00:13:46,180 --> 00:13:49,960 So if they don't have that, then you probably just want link and then the shareable link. 146 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,690 And then notice it says anyone with this link can join the recording session without signing in. 147 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:02,140 So that's excellent right. So whoever's the host would send the link out and I would recommend the shareable link. 148 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:11,680 Um, and then you also can upload audio. So if you've taken audio previously a recording recorded it you could upload it to to this okay. 149 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,500 Somebody outside, right? Like, if I interview you. 150 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:24,930 Like, if we interviewed them in zoom and we downloaded the mp3 and we have the mp3, then we can hit upload audio and then upload that. 151 00:14:26,940 --> 00:14:34,530 Yes. Yes. That's correct. Now, this one is web based, so you don't have quite as much control as you do with audition. 152 00:14:34,530 --> 00:14:38,580 You'll see. But it's very, very simple also. It's a good one to get started with. 153 00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:44,670 Let's go ahead and try a little recording. Okay. So we'll just hit start recording and then maybe just say some stuff. 154 00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:51,510 So we'll go ahead and do that. So we'll hit start recording and then record. 155 00:14:53,230 --> 00:14:58,960 So this is the beginning of the podcast. We can do an intro here and introduce our podcast. 156 00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:10,940 And then once you record a little something, then hit, stop recording. And then notice it says it's transcribing. 157 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,990 So depending on how long your recording is this could take a little bit of time. 158 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,710 So we'll give it a minute to do that. Okay, great. 159 00:15:21,070 --> 00:15:24,730 So it didn't quite catch everything that I said, and I probably cut it off a little too early. 160 00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:28,750 So that would be a good thing to do is not cut it off too early. Right? 161 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:37,150 Um, now, what we can do is if we want to edit the audio here, we can just hit correct transcript. 162 00:15:38,410 --> 00:15:45,380 And then we can change that. So maybe we'll change it to have we can have an intro here. 163 00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:52,230 So we've corrected the transcript which is kind of cool. Looks like we can also copy the entire thing that we just said. 164 00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:55,574 And we can also delete it. So those are some options. What is their interpretation? 165 00:15:56,393 --> 00:16:01,853 So what you could do is way. How correct do you need the transcript to be versus you know what you said, you know. 166 00:16:02,753 --> 00:16:07,433 Very good point. Okay. And then we could also upload files here. 167 00:16:07,913 --> 00:16:14,623 Um, so I'll kind of show you how that works. But what you would do is have a file on your computer that you could access. 168 00:16:14,633 --> 00:16:18,503 I've got some sort of sample files somewhere in here. 169 00:16:19,133 --> 00:16:22,373 Podcasting sample file. So I have a little rock intro here. 170 00:16:22,673 --> 00:16:31,643 And then I could upload that. And then notice because I had my cursor in the middle of my text, that's where it put this music. 171 00:16:31,763 --> 00:16:36,773 But I can rearrange it and click and drag it so I could put the intro first. 172 00:16:37,193 --> 00:16:40,403 That might make sense, right? To have the music first and then me talking. 173 00:16:41,183 --> 00:16:50,583 Um, so now we can play it and see what we get. It's kind of a long intro. 174 00:16:50,853 --> 00:16:58,463 We'll skip. Yeah, I cut off that word. 175 00:16:58,463 --> 00:17:03,593 So that's why it didn't register it. Yeah. Mhm. Um, from here it looks like. 176 00:17:03,593 --> 00:17:09,142 Now if we put a, uh, piece of music in here, we do have some options here. 177 00:17:09,143 --> 00:17:13,283 We can fade it in faded out. We can set it as the background music. 178 00:17:13,403 --> 00:17:21,653 So if we wanted this to play at the same time as our, um, a recording, then we could do that. 179 00:17:22,013 --> 00:17:26,152 You don't get a lot of controls, though. You, about how loud it is. It's just going to decide. 180 00:17:26,153 --> 00:17:29,163 So that's because. Yeah. 181 00:17:29,163 --> 00:17:33,063 So over on the left hand side you have a click and drag. 182 00:17:33,543 --> 00:17:41,193 Yeah. And if you guys want on the presentation page I do have some like sample files. 183 00:17:42,153 --> 00:17:46,043 Um, if you want. Yeah. 184 00:17:46,073 --> 00:17:49,613 Or you can just press plus music and add add music there. 185 00:17:49,643 --> 00:17:52,963 That's correct. So let's do that. So plus music. 186 00:17:52,973 --> 00:17:58,373 Now notice it still lets you upload audio. Or you could pick something from a collection it looks like. 187 00:17:59,003 --> 00:18:03,813 Yeah. And then intros outros. 188 00:18:03,823 --> 00:18:09,222 That's nice. It's kind of already organized like that underscore would be like the background music or something like that. 189 00:18:09,223 --> 00:18:15,923 So let's add low energy. Yeah. 190 00:18:16,193 --> 00:18:20,063 Yes. That's definitely yes. Exactly. So you can add a placeholder. 191 00:18:20,063 --> 00:18:25,213 Let's do that. And added to add a description of what to place here. 192 00:18:25,453 --> 00:18:29,323 So interview. Nice. 193 00:18:29,803 --> 00:18:34,813 Yep. And so the way you build a podcast in Adobe Podcast is top down. 194 00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:40,183 So at the top is the beginning. And then as you go down the page, that's how you go through the podcast. 195 00:18:40,603 --> 00:18:43,255 So that's how you're constructing it and then experience it. 196 00:18:43,708 --> 00:18:53,248 Um, let's see what else we can do. So placeholder. And then there are these filters where you can basically enhance the speech. 197 00:18:53,728 --> 00:18:56,818 Um, that basically just improves the quality of your recording. 198 00:18:56,828 --> 00:18:59,878 So if you recorded right here you could just improve this speech. 199 00:19:00,838 --> 00:19:04,768 Um. Okay, so let's say we are finished with our podcast. 200 00:19:04,768 --> 00:19:09,818 We're happy with it. First of all, we should name it. So we should give it a name over here so you can find it again. 201 00:19:09,838 --> 00:19:15,618 So sample. Podcast, web or something, whatever you want to name it. 202 00:19:17,028 --> 00:19:21,108 Um, and then let's say we were happy with it and we're done with it. 203 00:19:21,408 --> 00:19:27,948 Two things we can do. This is cool. So you can also make one that becomes a template. 204 00:19:32,228 --> 00:19:35,093 So if you are finished with your podcast. Hi. 205 00:19:35,121 --> 00:19:40,821 So again, Adobe Podcast is just the editor, right? Then you would download the final audio. 206 00:19:40,851 --> 00:19:45,221 Let's click download and see what it does. It's going to take a minute. 207 00:19:45,461 --> 00:19:49,631 Okay. So it downloads automatically as a dot wave, which is fine. 208 00:19:49,661 --> 00:19:55,551 Dot wave um is a standard audio format and Adobe Audition would also understand. 209 00:19:55,571 --> 00:20:01,091 Dot wave. So if you wanted to like record something in podcast, download it, put it into audition, you could. 210 00:20:01,391 --> 00:20:06,431 Or if it's done and you just want to upload it to Spotify or whatever you want to do, then you could do that. 211 00:20:06,881 --> 00:20:11,831 What I recommend, though, is after you have created something and you've downloaded it, 212 00:20:12,401 --> 00:20:20,831 then play through that entire file again and make sure it's correct and make sure it did download properly, especially since this thing is web based. 213 00:20:21,131 --> 00:20:25,271 Make sure it did a good job and didn't leave anything out accidentally and stuff like that. 214 00:20:25,691 --> 00:20:28,721 You can also download the transcript, which is really nice. 215 00:20:28,851 --> 00:20:33,911 If you are putting this on as some sort of official webpage, you could also include the transcripts, 216 00:20:34,301 --> 00:20:37,691 um, there, which makes it accessible on the web, which is nice. 217 00:20:38,351 --> 00:20:39,580 And then check this out. 218 00:20:39,581 --> 00:20:46,900 It's got a little option to download any original recording, so I guess it downloads them as separate clips which that could be useful. 219 00:20:46,901 --> 00:20:51,251 So but if you're done with it and you're happy with it, you would just download the final audio. 220 00:20:51,971 --> 00:20:55,351 So that's how you would start working in Adobe Podcast. 221 00:20:55,361 --> 00:21:03,520 That's pretty simple. Not too bad, huh? Um, there's also a setting feature down here where you can change the microphone. 222 00:21:03,521 --> 00:21:06,941 So the settings down here helps you choose the correct microphone. 223 00:21:07,301 --> 00:21:12,881 Um, that would be most important to do whatever video, uh, whatever audio editor you choose to use. 224 00:21:13,361 --> 00:21:16,900 You know, check the audio settings, make sure you have the right microphone connected, 225 00:21:16,901 --> 00:21:22,241 record yourself and play it back and make sure it works before you finish doing the whole thing. 226 00:21:22,721 --> 00:21:29,141 Um, it's a good idea for you guys. It'll probably be like, um, whatever headset you know is what it will say. 227 00:21:29,441 --> 00:21:33,101 Um, mine is a Yeti microphone up here. So that's what it says here. 228 00:21:33,821 --> 00:21:40,630 Um, looks like you can also mute tracks or something like that, or mute yourself and somebody else's recording. 229 00:21:40,631 --> 00:21:47,441 Maybe that's what it is. So if you invited somebody, um, and they were recording, you can mute yourself. 230 00:21:47,981 --> 00:21:53,051 Um, is what you could do, which would be a good thing to do if you're, um, you know, not in a quiet space. 231 00:21:53,951 --> 00:21:58,840 So that's Adobe podcast. So I think what we would do is if we were, uh, you know, 232 00:21:58,841 --> 00:22:03,971 either just partially done with this or we were done with it, we could hit the house to go back home. 233 00:22:04,691 --> 00:22:10,451 And then now that you're here, it should have your project right here. 234 00:22:10,691 --> 00:22:17,861 So you would just go back to podcasts, Audible.com, sign in, and then your current project should be right down here. 235 00:22:18,221 --> 00:22:23,291 And then to get back into them, you would just click it and you would go back into the editor, continue editing. 236 00:22:24,431 --> 00:22:29,451 It also looks like there are some features here where you can just duplicate this project. 237 00:22:29,471 --> 00:22:34,871 So that would be a good way to um, you could just make one project for yourself, 238 00:22:34,871 --> 00:22:40,301 which is sort of your template, duplicate it, and then just record the body of your podcast every time. 239 00:22:40,661 --> 00:22:45,341 So that might be a fast way to do it. Um, that would be a good thing to do for that. 240 00:22:46,291 --> 00:22:50,101 Um, they also have some templates. So this is kind of fun. 241 00:22:50,311 --> 00:22:54,991 You can start with an add um, a sonnet flash briefing. 242 00:22:55,471 --> 00:23:00,121 And then here's something else they recommend. I mentioned Adobe Express earlier. 243 00:23:00,331 --> 00:23:07,491 These are graphics templates. But when you click these it just takes you to Adobe Express which you can then design. 244 00:23:07,501 --> 00:23:11,701 Either use that template or you can design your own, uh, podcast cover art. 245 00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:15,691 Um, so if you click one of those, it'll just pop you into express. 246 00:23:15,691 --> 00:23:20,011 Your already signed in. So it should remember, you know, realize who you are and all of that. 247 00:23:21,181 --> 00:23:26,131 And then you can click whatever you want here in in express and make changes to it. 248 00:23:26,461 --> 00:23:32,201 Give it a name. Call it your podcast. Uh, podcast cover. 249 00:23:33,571 --> 00:23:41,401 Art, something like that. And then whatever you want to make changes to over here, you just click it and you can replace the image. 250 00:23:41,791 --> 00:23:47,191 You can click the text, uh, double click it to change the name. 251 00:23:47,371 --> 00:23:53,071 Name of podcast. And then just move stuff around. 252 00:23:53,371 --> 00:23:53,661 Yeah. 253 00:23:53,671 --> 00:24:01,290 So if you haven't used Adobe Express, that's another great thing to kind of get into and try not just for your cover art, but for all kinds of files. 254 00:24:01,291 --> 00:24:06,841 It helps you create anything from digital to print media. You can print fliers, you can print large research posters with. 255 00:24:06,841 --> 00:24:13,691 It even helps you create short form video. You're talking about very short videos, teaser videos for your podcast. 256 00:24:13,711 --> 00:24:17,941 That would be a great thing to do to help with all kinds of marketing and stuff like that. 257 00:24:18,241 --> 00:24:26,281 They even have stock video and audio under media here to help you make, you know, teaser videos or whatever it is that you need. 258 00:24:26,671 --> 00:24:33,000 Um, easy to use. Um, they have icons under elements and charts, all kinds of things. 259 00:24:33,001 --> 00:24:40,441 So, um, that expresses a whole nother app that would be good to get into, uh, particularly for your podcast cover art. 260 00:24:40,921 --> 00:24:45,540 Um, the standard size is like 3000 pixels by 3000 pixels. 261 00:24:45,541 --> 00:24:50,041 That's what Spotify will require. And that information's on the, um, presentation page. 262 00:24:50,341 --> 00:24:53,391 All right. What do you think of Adobe Podcast? 263 00:24:55,491 --> 00:24:58,971 Super easy. Um, simple to get started with. 264 00:24:59,421 --> 00:25:02,841 Uh, it does have, um, let's see. 265 00:25:02,841 --> 00:25:06,891 We'll go back into, uh, Adobe podcast for a second. 266 00:25:07,851 --> 00:25:13,371 Um, I'm not sure if it showed you, but on the music, you can choose a fade in and fade out. 267 00:25:13,701 --> 00:25:20,721 Okay, that you don't have as much control as you do in audition, but if this is everything you need, this might be a good solution. 268 00:25:21,231 --> 00:25:25,011 Um, so that is one option. Daily podcast. 269 00:25:25,551 --> 00:25:30,531 Um, I love that it's web based. I love that you could share a link with somebody and they can just join it. 270 00:25:30,951 --> 00:25:33,830 Because otherwise when you use other editors, 271 00:25:33,831 --> 00:25:39,231 you have to kind of do that stuff manually yourself and get all the files together and then put them together. 272 00:25:39,711 --> 00:25:43,821 Um, this is super fun because it's web based. So this is one option. 273 00:25:44,331 --> 00:25:49,531 All right. Okay, so, uh, what we will do, uh, next. 274 00:25:50,131 --> 00:25:55,701 And it doesn't let you trim the, uh, it doesn't let you choose the length of the, uh, music, either. 275 00:25:55,711 --> 00:26:00,061 That's kind of annoying. Yeah, I guess, or you could split. 276 00:26:01,201 --> 00:26:05,821 No, that doesn't do it. Let's see. We should be able to split it somewhere. 277 00:26:06,841 --> 00:26:10,631 Yeah. But I don't know why. 278 00:26:10,641 --> 00:26:13,701 If I chose split, like, why did it? 279 00:26:14,151 --> 00:26:19,221 It didn't really split. Maybe I have to, you know, I'm not sure that is working right. 280 00:26:20,631 --> 00:26:24,021 Maybe it means copy it, but that's not really what I want. 281 00:26:24,651 --> 00:26:28,941 Yeah, uh, it doesn't mean what it means in audition, so I'm not sure that. 282 00:26:28,941 --> 00:26:35,361 Or maybe that part is not quite working right just yet. This isn't data, so it could be that that is a feature that's coming. 283 00:26:35,631 --> 00:26:41,181 Normally what happens when you get split is you get a placeholder, like a little line, 284 00:26:41,481 --> 00:26:47,451 and you can click somewhere in that, um, space and it will cut it in half. 285 00:26:47,451 --> 00:26:50,540 And like you said, you could lead the second half and then fade it in and out. 286 00:26:50,541 --> 00:26:54,861 So that's probably coming. I think it's just not quite there yet because this thing is in beta. 287 00:26:54,861 --> 00:26:57,981 So, um, that will be coming. That'll be fun. 288 00:26:58,851 --> 00:27:06,290 Okay. So what we'll do next though is we will hop into Adobe Audition so you can kind of see the possibilities there. 289 00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:10,071 And then definitely just think about which one works better for you. 290 00:27:10,191 --> 00:27:13,941 Or you might use Adobe Podcast for the recording pieces, 291 00:27:13,941 --> 00:27:19,430 download it and then do more editing and audition however you want to do it, uh, would be great. 292 00:27:19,431 --> 00:27:27,921 Whatever's going to work best for you guys. So, uh, if we go back to our presentation page, um, then. 293 00:27:29,221 --> 00:27:36,540 What we can do is. And, uh, go up back up to Adobe Audition, which is right below. 294 00:27:36,541 --> 00:27:41,281 So we have the big AEW. That's the, um, icon for Adobe Audition. 295 00:27:42,091 --> 00:27:47,220 Right below that, there's a whole video, um, going over what I'm about to show you. 296 00:27:47,221 --> 00:27:53,731 If you want to refer back to it, there's also a help page from Adobe Audition, which is a step by step walking you through it. 297 00:27:54,211 --> 00:27:57,481 Um, and then there's a whole nother tutorial if you're interested in that. 298 00:27:57,901 --> 00:28:03,810 Um, but we will just hop into audition if you want to, to try audition. 299 00:28:03,811 --> 00:28:07,411 I have some sample files here that you are welcome to download. 300 00:28:07,411 --> 00:28:11,881 If you like. You can also just record yourself right in audition and use that. 301 00:28:12,121 --> 00:28:17,101 But if you want to try the music and audition, then you probably will want to download this. 302 00:28:17,341 --> 00:28:25,890 But if you go to the OneDrive folder and then, uh, if you download the music, the rock intro and just to download there, 303 00:28:25,891 --> 00:28:28,921 you can click the little three dots and then download, um, 304 00:28:28,921 --> 00:28:33,511 that'll put it in your downloads folder of that computer, which I can show you how to get back to later. 305 00:28:34,021 --> 00:28:43,021 Um, that way you can try recording yourself an audition and adding music, because you have a lot more control with the music and audition. 306 00:28:43,291 --> 00:28:48,781 But Adobe Audition doesn't give you any music, so you have to, like, prepare it ahead of time. 307 00:28:49,141 --> 00:28:59,970 Um, there's some ways you can do that. Uh, we have, uh, links down here to, um, Adobe gives free sound effects and free music loops. 308 00:28:59,971 --> 00:29:04,021 You just have to go download them. First is the trick, but they're royalty free. 309 00:29:04,021 --> 00:29:12,451 You can totally republish it and that kind of thing. Um, along the same lines, we want to make sure that we're not violating any sort of copyright. 310 00:29:13,111 --> 00:29:16,260 You don't really have the rights to, uh, you know, 311 00:29:16,261 --> 00:29:22,921 download or record any sort of popular music that you didn't create yourself and then use that as your intro or outro. 312 00:29:23,101 --> 00:29:28,291 There are people who will say, oh, well, you can use 20s of it because it's fair use or whatever. 313 00:29:28,831 --> 00:29:36,931 Fair use is really just a legal defense, and if you're defending yourself legally, you're already in a compromised position. 314 00:29:37,171 --> 00:29:40,531 So it's usually a good idea not to do that at all anyway. 315 00:29:40,861 --> 00:29:47,040 And if you uploaded it to something like YouTube, it might get taken down because then they'll say it's violating copyright. 316 00:29:47,041 --> 00:29:52,651 So in general, or find a music student who would like to make you an intro. 317 00:29:53,161 --> 00:29:56,911 They're always looking for projects to, um, make your own. 318 00:29:56,911 --> 00:30:01,321 Download the free ones that are here on this page that you're welcome to use. 319 00:30:01,681 --> 00:30:09,570 Um, those are all some options. Or use the Adobe podcast to get the music, download it, and then edit it in audition. 320 00:30:09,571 --> 00:30:18,781 So, um, those are some ideas there. Okay. So now that you have a piece of music downloaded, we're going to hop into Adobe Audition. 321 00:30:18,781 --> 00:30:24,631 So it's a desktop app. So we're going to hit the windows icon at the bottom of your screen. 322 00:30:25,141 --> 00:30:29,821 And then you can just start typing audition. And it should pop up. 323 00:30:31,041 --> 00:30:35,351 And I am going to use the 2024 version, which you should have on your computers. 324 00:30:35,361 --> 00:30:42,141 If it's not quite 2024, it'll be fine. Uh, the main tools didn't change very much, so we should be good. 325 00:30:43,991 --> 00:30:51,191 Okay. So I'll give you an you might ask you to sign in. So, um, if you need to do that just a second. 326 00:30:51,191 --> 00:30:56,730 I'll give you a chance to do that. It's good to move that down. 327 00:30:56,731 --> 00:31:00,391 And then I'm going to minimize this so we can kind of see this better. 328 00:31:05,551 --> 00:31:12,771 And you just, uh, sign in with your Auburn, um, email and password, um, company or school account? 329 00:31:12,781 --> 00:31:19,941 You sign in with your, uh, email. So something with Google or anything else like that, basically. 330 00:31:21,851 --> 00:31:25,541 And then your screen might look like this once you're in the right spot. 331 00:31:26,051 --> 00:31:30,521 Yep yep yep. Yeah. Perfect. Okay, so yes, I totally understand what you mean. 332 00:31:30,521 --> 00:31:33,941 Like when you open audition, you're like, what do I even do? Right. 333 00:31:34,271 --> 00:31:38,650 So it's a little weird to get started, but once you get started and you kind of have an idea of what you're doing, 334 00:31:38,651 --> 00:31:46,751 it's a lot more powerful and it's not too bad. So the first thing is over here on the right hand side, there's a little tiny arrow. 335 00:31:47,171 --> 00:31:51,971 Um, and you should be in simple editing mode. So make sure you're in that. 336 00:31:52,571 --> 00:31:58,841 And you probably are, because you're on our computers. But this is the first thing to check if you're working on a different computer, right? 337 00:31:58,871 --> 00:32:07,001 Simple editing. Now the second thing is this is a video editor, and we have no project even open or started yet. 338 00:32:07,091 --> 00:32:10,541 So the next thing is for us to actually create a project. 339 00:32:10,781 --> 00:32:16,901 So the what we're going to do is go to file new multitrack session. 340 00:32:19,331 --> 00:32:22,871 And then it's going to ask you for a session name. You can just make something up for now. 341 00:32:26,841 --> 00:32:33,821 It doesn't really matter where it's saved for today, but on your own computer you would kind of just check that and see where it's saved. 342 00:32:33,831 --> 00:32:37,611 It usually saves it in like an Adobe folder on your computer, on your hard drive. 343 00:32:38,331 --> 00:32:46,281 Uh, right now we're not going to use any template, but I did want to show you that there is a podcast template, if that helps you. 344 00:32:46,581 --> 00:32:51,470 But I'm going to show you kind of how to make your own. But I'll show you what this looks like just so you can see it first. 345 00:32:51,471 --> 00:32:56,751 But don't select this just yet. Um, yes, we're going to overwrite this one. 346 00:32:57,381 --> 00:33:01,611 And notice how it puts these tracks in here automatically for you. 347 00:33:02,001 --> 00:33:08,001 But and it also wants you to do a 32nd intro and then have the main body and then another 32nd outro. 348 00:33:08,151 --> 00:33:13,401 So I don't really like the template as much, but I wanted to show it to you so you could see what it is. 349 00:33:13,401 --> 00:33:22,551 But I'm going to close that and do that and create a new multitrack session, because I want you to create yours from scratch so you know how to do it. 350 00:33:23,091 --> 00:33:27,921 Um, uh, and we're not going to use any template, so we say no template. 351 00:33:28,041 --> 00:33:33,261 Now this sample rate is probably set at 44 100, which is fine. 352 00:33:33,591 --> 00:33:42,351 If you wanted CD quality you would use uh, 48 uh for 48,000Hz. 353 00:33:42,831 --> 00:33:46,671 But unless you're planning on actually burning CDs, it's not necessary. 354 00:33:47,031 --> 00:33:51,650 Okay. So you can leave it at that. And you can also leave the bit depth at 16. 355 00:33:51,651 --> 00:33:56,981 That's totally fine for a podcast. The mics will be in stereo if you bring any music in. 356 00:33:56,991 --> 00:34:00,291 So you want to leave that uh, as that and then you'll hit okay. 357 00:34:02,101 --> 00:34:11,880 And then I'm going to overwrite this. Okay. So now we have multiple tracks and we can sort of begin recording right here and audition. 358 00:34:11,881 --> 00:34:17,271 We could either begin recording right here in audition, or we could start bringing files in that we previously recorded. 359 00:34:17,281 --> 00:34:23,731 Let's try recording an audition first. Now you'll notice since you'll see track one is listed here. 360 00:34:24,121 --> 00:34:27,481 To record on a track, you have to click the R first. 361 00:34:28,411 --> 00:34:34,371 Once you click the R, do you see some like, uh, you know, sort of equalizer moving. 362 00:34:34,381 --> 00:34:41,911 If you do see an equalizer moving, that means your microphone is set up correctly and you can talk and see if it reacts. 363 00:34:42,871 --> 00:34:46,021 Okay. Yeah. So you can give it a check. 364 00:34:46,291 --> 00:34:48,721 Now this tells it the input. 365 00:34:48,811 --> 00:34:57,931 So if you don't see anything happening here when you hit the R you can click here um something and go to the audio hardware settings. 366 00:34:59,051 --> 00:35:04,891 And then that would where is where you can set the microphone and the speakers to what it it needs to be. 367 00:35:04,901 --> 00:35:11,501 Yours will probably automatically already say the headset, um, and the headset, which is fine, 368 00:35:11,801 --> 00:35:20,081 but that's the first thing to check on any sort of system that you're using, whether it's your own laptop or our audio studio and all of that. 369 00:35:20,081 --> 00:35:25,271 Check the inputs. Okay. You do want it to go to the mics. 370 00:35:25,271 --> 00:35:31,151 That means everything that's in all of these tracks will go to the final recording all together, which is fine. 371 00:35:31,751 --> 00:35:37,691 Um, here we can give our track a name. So this might be us talking, so we might call this host. 372 00:35:39,601 --> 00:35:42,851 Okay. And we can give it a name, which is great. 373 00:35:43,241 --> 00:35:48,131 And now that we have the hour set and we have our microphone set and everything. 374 00:35:48,311 --> 00:35:50,961 We can now actually just begin recording an audition. 375 00:35:50,981 --> 00:35:58,271 So what I'd like for you to do is hit the record button and then just talk for, you know, a few seconds, you know, maybe, 376 00:35:58,271 --> 00:36:04,991 maybe a good amount of time, like 15 to 20s so that we can have something to edit, um, and then just stop the recording. 377 00:36:05,201 --> 00:36:13,371 Okay. So this is an example of how we can get started in a podcast. 378 00:36:13,381 --> 00:36:19,201 This would be the intro. And then we might have um, a little bit of transition music and then go into the body. 379 00:36:22,091 --> 00:36:25,691 Um, and also a little tip. The spacebar also stops the recording. 380 00:36:25,691 --> 00:36:32,981 So it's kind of a little tip there. Okay. So now that you have this recording, what you can do is drag the playhead back and hit play. 381 00:36:37,181 --> 00:36:51,510 Make sure you can hear it. Okay, Joe, successfully record. 382 00:36:51,511 --> 00:36:55,991 And here it. Cool. So that's the first steps, right? 383 00:36:56,011 --> 00:37:01,320 Always check it first. Make sure you got everything set up properly before you go and record your entire thing. 384 00:37:01,321 --> 00:37:05,341 And then it didn't work right. So always check that first okay. 385 00:37:05,341 --> 00:37:10,681 So what we can do now is maybe let's add our music. 386 00:37:11,161 --> 00:37:14,191 So let's call track two music. 387 00:37:14,191 --> 00:37:24,330 So we'll just rename this one music. And now, if you noticed, over here on the left hand side in this panel. 388 00:37:24,331 --> 00:37:29,281 So right now we're in the editing panel and see how it's blue. That means we're active in the editor. 389 00:37:29,731 --> 00:37:32,941 If we go over here to this panel we can click it. 390 00:37:32,941 --> 00:37:39,451 And now it will be active. And this says files. This is all of the files that are in this project right now. 391 00:37:39,811 --> 00:37:43,951 So right now we have named a project. It's called Sample Podcast. 392 00:37:43,951 --> 00:37:50,401 And we have one file in there that we just recorded. Let's say we need to bring in a file from our computer. 393 00:37:50,791 --> 00:37:57,811 If you go to the little folder right above the name of the files, there's an import file option. 394 00:37:58,321 --> 00:38:02,941 So the first thing we have to do is bring into this file into the project. 395 00:38:03,031 --> 00:38:07,051 Then we have to add it to the timeline for it to actually be in the recording. 396 00:38:07,291 --> 00:38:13,261 So we're going to hit import file. Now you're on your computer you'll go to downloads. 397 00:38:14,101 --> 00:38:19,921 And that is where the, uh, your uh, rock intro should be. 398 00:38:20,961 --> 00:38:27,261 That little file that we downloaded. And so once you go to downloads and rock intro, then hit open. 399 00:38:30,031 --> 00:38:34,080 And once we hit open, notice now it's over here in the files. 400 00:38:34,081 --> 00:38:37,621 It's not in our podcast yet, though. It's just in the project. 401 00:38:37,891 --> 00:38:44,941 Okay. So now what we got to do is click the rock intro and drag it to that music track. 402 00:38:47,181 --> 00:38:55,961 And we'll release it there. Okay. So now we have, um, our host, and we have our music. 403 00:38:56,441 --> 00:39:07,421 Uh, we have some issues, though, if we hit play. The problem is somebody is talking and there's music at the same time, right? 404 00:39:07,451 --> 00:39:10,451 So that's the issue. So let's see if we can correct that. 405 00:39:10,901 --> 00:39:16,571 So a couple of things we could do um on this music track when I click on it, 406 00:39:16,571 --> 00:39:22,301 if we put our cursor on the bottom left we can trim this music and shorten it. 407 00:39:23,201 --> 00:39:29,680 And then what we can do now these are just sliders. So you can slider move them around and you're using the move tool which is right up here. 408 00:39:29,681 --> 00:39:32,351 So if you don't have that tool selected you can click the move tool. 409 00:39:32,351 --> 00:39:42,191 And now you can move your clips around and we can, uh, drag this uh, over because this whole thing is going to be one file. 410 00:39:42,191 --> 00:39:53,381 So we have our rock intro. And then we have our person talking. 411 00:39:53,451 --> 00:39:58,011 So we have a couple of things there. If that's. 412 00:39:59,211 --> 00:40:08,021 Yeah. Okay. Okay. So in that case, you would need to go to the file and then go to or this. 413 00:40:08,111 --> 00:40:17,531 The input settings I showed you here goes to the same thing. Uh but you have to go to uh SC it should be under. 414 00:40:21,971 --> 00:40:28,841 Uh, could have been in GarageBand. In GarageBand. In that case, it would have been file preferences and then check the output. 415 00:40:28,901 --> 00:40:33,281 The output should have been the speakers that were in that in that room. 416 00:40:33,731 --> 00:40:40,901 And then it also could be there's a input, um, there's a, uh, like a, uh, a, uh, 417 00:40:40,901 --> 00:40:48,071 an audio interface that also has to be turned on, which the instructions tell you how to do that. 418 00:40:48,071 --> 00:40:52,391 But, you know, yeah, the first time I'm using it, it's hard, you know, and all of that. 419 00:40:52,811 --> 00:40:58,751 Um, so it's okay. Um, but yeah, what we could do is you can also check it here. 420 00:40:58,751 --> 00:41:02,730 You hit the input, hit audio hardware and see what the output is. 421 00:41:02,731 --> 00:41:06,881 So if you're using audition you could check it here. Um, and all of that. 422 00:41:06,941 --> 00:41:10,871 Yeah. Yes. 423 00:41:10,881 --> 00:41:19,461 Great question. So what we can do to fade is we click the music and then see these got these little squares at the top of the music. 424 00:41:19,911 --> 00:41:22,971 If we just want to fade one side we just click and drag it. 425 00:41:23,751 --> 00:41:27,471 And then that fades it sort of manually. And now it'll fade out. 426 00:41:31,691 --> 00:41:33,100 So that faded out a little bit better. 427 00:41:33,101 --> 00:41:39,641 And then what we can do is we can kind of like cross these a little bit, you know, and we can also fade this one in. 428 00:41:40,151 --> 00:41:45,461 So you have some options there. Now you could also uh Ctrl Z is undo. 429 00:41:45,641 --> 00:41:52,711 Hold the alt key. And drag and it fades it in and out at the same time, at the same amount. 430 00:41:52,741 --> 00:41:56,101 Yeah. So so you get you get more control with the fading. 431 00:41:56,101 --> 00:41:59,701 Whereas in podcasts you just choose fade in or fade out and just does it automatically. 432 00:41:59,711 --> 00:42:06,751 This you can really control it better. Now another thing you can do in audition is if you didn't like that this music was a little too loud. 433 00:42:07,201 --> 00:42:15,241 You can actually click and drag this volume here, or you can also adjust the volume of that track here. 434 00:42:15,631 --> 00:42:18,721 So we can make this softer in general. 435 00:42:19,771 --> 00:42:23,971 You know, not so loud, because our talking isn't that loud, right? 436 00:42:25,341 --> 00:42:29,841 Yeah. So that's something we could do. We could also overlap these and all of that. 437 00:42:30,201 --> 00:42:35,360 Okay. So splitting let's make sure we do that because we that was something that didn't work for us in podcast. 438 00:42:35,361 --> 00:42:41,241 So if we want to split a clip somewhere and what's nice is you can kind of use the waveforms to help you. 439 00:42:41,271 --> 00:42:45,590 So if you have a pause, you know, and there's nothing there's no spikes here, 440 00:42:45,591 --> 00:42:51,651 then that might indicate a good place to to cut it so you can put your playhead anywhere that you want to cut a clip. 441 00:42:52,161 --> 00:42:56,900 And then up at the top you have a razor tool, and that means you want to cut it. 442 00:42:56,901 --> 00:43:04,821 But place your playhead first, you know, so you kind of have an idea of where you're going, and then you can click it on the playhead. 443 00:43:05,151 --> 00:43:09,411 And now you go back to the move tool. And now these are two separate clips. 444 00:43:10,861 --> 00:43:13,111 So that's how you can kind of cut pieces up. 445 00:43:13,441 --> 00:43:21,451 And, um, if you needed to cut out the middle part, you would just cut it again and then, uh, delete it so we could try that. 446 00:43:21,691 --> 00:43:25,891 So let's maybe cut it in the middle. Again, we'll use the razor tool to cut it. 447 00:43:26,901 --> 00:43:34,941 Use, go back to the move tool to select it. And now that we have this clip selected, we can right click and delete. 448 00:43:35,451 --> 00:43:39,201 Now there's two things here. There's delete and there's ripple delete. 449 00:43:39,681 --> 00:43:42,951 Okay. So delete means I'm just going to delete the clip. 450 00:43:42,951 --> 00:43:46,131 And nothing else is going to happen to that track. It's just gone. 451 00:43:46,311 --> 00:43:52,791 But what is this. This is a space. So it's literally going to play that empty space if I leave it that way. 452 00:43:53,181 --> 00:43:57,981 So I could, you know, adjust that. But if you have tons of clips that's going to be really annoying, right? 453 00:43:58,461 --> 00:44:03,021 So what you could do instead is do this ripple delete. 454 00:44:03,771 --> 00:44:07,491 And so we right click on it ripple delete, just the selected clip. 455 00:44:08,121 --> 00:44:11,421 And it gets rid of the space to okay. 456 00:44:11,811 --> 00:44:18,231 It does that so that you have control over it. So understanding the difference between delete and ripple delete is important. 457 00:44:18,531 --> 00:44:23,150 You most of the time you're going to want ripple delete because you want all those tracks to shut down. 458 00:44:23,151 --> 00:44:27,501 If you cut out part of it, you don't want to have to manually go back and move all of those, okay? 459 00:44:29,061 --> 00:44:33,171 You have to do something in there like the back button. Good question. 460 00:44:33,291 --> 00:44:40,871 Um, you can try to undo um, it will only undo so far, you know, so kind of depends. 461 00:44:40,881 --> 00:44:47,301 Now, uh, another thing you can do is remember we have our files tab over here to the left. 462 00:44:47,301 --> 00:44:51,891 Your files still exist in their full format, so if you really screw up, 463 00:44:51,891 --> 00:44:57,981 you can just bring that file in again, you know, and then cut, you know, re reedit it. 464 00:44:58,311 --> 00:45:02,331 So that's why it's good that it does that this you're just editing the timeline right now. 465 00:45:02,331 --> 00:45:06,171 You're not editing these sort of main, uh, files. 466 00:45:06,171 --> 00:45:10,581 There's always a copy of them. Oh yeah. 467 00:45:10,591 --> 00:45:17,721 So you can go to edit undo or you can also Ctrl Z or on a mac and be command Z. 468 00:45:18,081 --> 00:45:26,031 Mhm. Yeah. Sure thing. And then what's really uh important to understand with audition is the concept of ducking. 469 00:45:26,331 --> 00:45:30,560 So if I remember I had the music right below where I was talking and that was 470 00:45:30,561 --> 00:45:34,101 a problem because I was talking and the music was happening at the same time. 471 00:45:34,701 --> 00:45:37,971 Here's something we can do to fix that, which gives you a lot of control. 472 00:45:38,811 --> 00:45:46,131 First, what we got to do is select the clip of the person talking, and then we're going to go to the Essential sound panel. 473 00:45:46,191 --> 00:45:52,820 If you don't see the essential sound panel you can go to window and then Essential Sound. 474 00:45:52,821 --> 00:45:57,021 Make sure that is checked. If it's checked it means it's over here somewhere. 475 00:45:57,501 --> 00:46:00,740 So it might be here. Um, over here on the side. 476 00:46:00,741 --> 00:46:10,731 Essential sound. So once you have the essential sound panel up, you can click the dialog or the voice and tell, uh, audition that this is dialog. 477 00:46:11,511 --> 00:46:14,621 And then once you do that, you get a bunch of options. 478 00:46:14,631 --> 00:46:19,341 You can enhance the vocals. You can repair audio. 479 00:46:19,341 --> 00:46:24,261 So you have a lot of features to help you improve the, uh, clarity of audio. 480 00:46:24,591 --> 00:46:31,911 You can manually adjust the clip volume, you can add some reverb, you can add effects, all kinds of neat stuff that you can do. 481 00:46:32,631 --> 00:46:39,741 But then what we want to do next is assign music, um, to the rock intro. 482 00:46:39,741 --> 00:46:46,401 So if we go click the music um clip and make sure that audition knows that this clip is music. 483 00:46:47,331 --> 00:46:49,431 Then we get this feature called ducking. 484 00:46:50,271 --> 00:47:00,321 So what this feature called ducking does is it will use artificial intelligence to read the top, uh, button, to read the top, uh, clip. 485 00:47:00,711 --> 00:47:05,121 Whenever somebody is talking, it will automatically lower the volume of the music. 486 00:47:05,121 --> 00:47:12,381 If somebody is not talking, it will automatically raise it. So that's how people get that effect in podcast where the music starts, 487 00:47:12,651 --> 00:47:16,970 they start talking, the music automatically lowers, they stop talking for a second. 488 00:47:16,971 --> 00:47:20,811 The music automatically goes up. They use this ducking feature question. 489 00:47:25,414 --> 00:47:31,264 So it does a really good job of that actually. Okay. So ducking super important feature to understand. 490 00:47:31,684 --> 00:47:36,904 Um, and all of that. Um let's see what else do we need to do before we go? 491 00:47:36,934 --> 00:47:40,834 Let me go back to our screen here and see what else. 492 00:47:41,524 --> 00:47:50,394 Um, actually. Those are the main things. 493 00:47:50,424 --> 00:47:54,174 Yeah. So, um, that is essentially how you would get started. 494 00:47:54,184 --> 00:47:57,744 You can you would keep naming your tracks, however many you need. 495 00:47:58,074 --> 00:48:06,264 Um, and all of that. Um, so you might have one that's host one that is the person you've interviewed and one that is your music. 496 00:48:06,594 --> 00:48:16,253 You might have intro and outro and background music. So let's say that you, um, have, uh, finished your recording and you're happy with it. 497 00:48:16,254 --> 00:48:22,073 Everything's great. You've got your intro music, you've got your, uh, docking set, you know, all of that good stuff. 498 00:48:22,074 --> 00:48:26,063 You're ready to to go with that. Two things that you can set. 499 00:48:26,064 --> 00:48:37,254 First, the metadata. So if you go in, if you don't see the metadata window, you can go to window and then metadata and make it show up. 500 00:48:37,824 --> 00:48:41,994 This is where you and you would use the ID3 uh tab. 501 00:48:41,994 --> 00:48:45,054 This is where you would give your podcast the title. 502 00:48:45,444 --> 00:48:54,954 Tell it who's the author. Because this information, when you upload your file to something like Spotify, that's what it pulls from. 503 00:48:55,344 --> 00:49:02,514 Okay. So metadata is important if you want to sort of maintain a copyright or ownership over your podcast, 504 00:49:02,904 --> 00:49:08,514 you will want to put the information in the metadata. Notice here you can also upload album art. 505 00:49:08,844 --> 00:49:11,124 So it will also pull that automatically. 506 00:49:11,334 --> 00:49:17,873 So that's handy because then if you want it on multiple platforms, you don't have to be like tell this one what the title is. 507 00:49:17,874 --> 00:49:21,684 Tell this other one what who the author is. Upload the album art there. 508 00:49:21,924 --> 00:49:25,524 It's all packaged together in this one file. Um, so that's important. 509 00:49:25,524 --> 00:49:31,553 The metadata, a lot of this other stuff you may not need, like the track number and all of that or lyrics. 510 00:49:31,554 --> 00:49:39,984 A lot of this is meant for music too, but title and artist, album art, recording date and then any comments you want for yourself? 511 00:49:40,314 --> 00:49:43,014 Um, might be helpful, like maybe the topic or something like that. 512 00:49:43,434 --> 00:49:49,914 So once you have that set, then what you would do to export your file, because right now is just an editable version. 513 00:49:50,364 --> 00:49:57,713 You would do file export, multitrack mix down and then entire session. 514 00:49:57,714 --> 00:49:59,514 It makes you sound like a DJ or something, doesn't it? 515 00:50:00,564 --> 00:50:10,074 So because what you're doing is you want to tell audition, take all of these files that I put together, put them all together in one file. 516 00:50:10,254 --> 00:50:13,794 Um, and then that's what I'm going to upload. So you would do the entire session. 517 00:50:14,454 --> 00:50:18,594 And then here's where you could choose the format. So you could choose WAV if you want. 518 00:50:19,014 --> 00:50:25,464 MP3 is another very popular format to choose, um, that you can very quickly get uploaded somewhere. 519 00:50:25,884 --> 00:50:35,304 Um, the wave is going to be more file size, MP3 is compressed, so it'll be less file size, and most of these other things are fine to leave. 520 00:50:35,574 --> 00:50:38,754 And all of that. You do want to include the the metadata. 521 00:50:39,144 --> 00:50:44,664 And then it is a good idea to open the file after it exports and just make sure listen to the whole thing, 522 00:50:44,664 --> 00:50:49,604 make sure it did, uh, render it properly and it has everything that you wanted in there. 523 00:50:49,624 --> 00:50:53,694 Then you would hit okay. And it would just save it right here, wherever you told it to save. 524 00:50:53,754 --> 00:51:00,774 And then you give it a title there if you need to. Um, so that's, that's the essentials of kind of getting started in audition. 525 00:51:01,314 --> 00:51:03,713 Um, oh the effects. 526 00:51:03,714 --> 00:51:11,724 So if you wanted to do some other kind of funny facts, you can also get to a ton of stuff just by right clicking and doing something to a clip. 527 00:51:12,234 --> 00:51:21,053 Um, so you have all kinds of options here, including effects, but you can also, uh, get to effects by going up here to effects. 528 00:51:21,054 --> 00:51:25,794 There's a delay, an echo, there's a reverb. You know, you can do all kinds of neat stuff. 529 00:51:26,244 --> 00:51:31,373 Maybe not do that too much, right. Maybe just a little bit on, like a common intro and outro. 530 00:51:31,374 --> 00:51:37,944 But most of the time you're not going to want to have tons of effects, just maybe a simple intro outro and all of that. 531 00:51:37,944 --> 00:51:41,454 So yeah. And then you have track effects and clip effects. 532 00:51:41,454 --> 00:51:48,444 You can assign things to an entire track, uh, this way, um, or to just a clip that way as well. 533 00:51:49,014 --> 00:51:51,632 And those are the main things with Adobe Audition. Yeah, yeah, of course you're welcome.
