Hi all,
We're constantly expanding our guides and tips section, and one aspect of it that's currently lacking is a basic tutorial on how to use the most common editing programs, mainly Audacity as that's what a good portion of our members use. Ideally, the tutorial would cover:
-Knowing how to place your gain and what a waveform with the correct gain setting looks like (as in, not too loud to the point of clipping, but not too soft)
-How to export with different formats and settings based on what the client asks for (wav vs mp3, mono vs stereo, bit rate, frequency), LAME codec requirement for Audacity mp3 export
-Normalizing your audio
-Editing out extra breaths/clicks/splicing two takes together
-Basic noise reduction to get rid of background hiss or room ambience
-Fixing common problems that show up in audio recordings
-[Optional] Basic compression
Pictures or video would probably help a lot with this guide to supplement the text.
If you feel relatively knowledgeable/experienced and have the time to write this guide, it would be very helpful to a lot of newer members. It would go as a stickied topic in the "Help, Tips, and Advice" section.
Thank you!
