I have recorded my podcast using Audacity and I think it’s one of the easiest applications I have ever had to learn.
It’s quite straight-forward and once you think of the sound wave(s) as a ‘visual’ map, the editing processes make perfect sense.
I have also used Audacity to record my interview for TW5212 and had no problems with it whatsoever. Of course, there has been one issue…
One problem I have had, is inserting more ‘time’ into the podcast. I was under the impression that placing the cursor at the point you wish to create (extra) time, and hitting record, this would ‘push over’ the subsequent recording and make room for the new one. I tried this, but all that happened was a new (3rd) soundwave/file was created SIMULTANEOUS to what was there already. For example, I want to create a few more seconds of time in between bits of my recording, but any further recording just adds another file that plays over the initial recording.
I know that placing more time at the beginning or end of the file is easily done but the same method doesn’t seem to apply to WITHIN the file.
Does anyone know where I’m going wrong?
