The podcast assignment provided an opportunity for me to experiment with a number of audio production tools. Time was spent setting up Garageband
and optimizing my Samson C01U USB
condenser microphone. After making the obligatory adjustments to Garageband
I made several test recordings in an attempt to balance audio levels. One mono audio narration track was placed over a looped music track in order to reduce file size. Most of the effects on Garageband
are pretty cheesy so I decided to record each track dry (i.e. no effects added). This resulted in a fairly clean recording that could be modified at a later date. My podcasting
experience was favorable despite the fact I am not a narrator. You can access my Notebook Tablet podcast at the following address:http://davegraw.podbean.com/
