4. Save as an MP3 file format
Tips for Creating a Better Podcast• Appropriate length (10-20 minutes tops!)• More than one voice• Be mindful where you are recording (background noise can be a
podcast killer!)• Plan and organize your topic
Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds.
Audacity 1.2.6 is the main release.
Where can you use Audacity?• In the Media Lab in Lied Library• Install software version 1.2.6 on your computer
Audacity Screen
Get Background Music• To import an audio file (MP3, WAV, AIFF) that you already have on
your computer, go to Project > Import Audio.
Record the Voice Track• Use a microphone or import recorded voice track.• Option: Play other tracks while recording new one. Go to Edit –
Preferences.
Start Recording!
Sound Test
Adjust the Microphone if Audio is too Low
Add Music or Other Audio
Edit or Use Effects
Edit• Cut pieces out
Effects• Fade the music in and out
Note: You must select part or all of the track before you can apply edits and effects.
Save as an MP3• When you are all done with your recording, save it as an MP3 so that
it will play on iPods and MP3 players• Go to File > Export as MP3
Note: If you’ve installed Audacity on your computer, you’ll need to add the Lame MP3 encoder. Follow the instructions at Lame Installation.
Edit ID3 Tags• These are tags that give title and genre information.
Post Podcast on the Peer Coaches Blog• Upload your MP3 file to the Peer Coaches Blog.• Create a link to your MP3 file. Your link will look similar to this:
http://blogs.library.unlv.edu/peer_coaches/mypodcast.mp3.• Write a title and a brief description of your podcast above or below
the link so listeners will know what your podcast is about.
