Yesterday evening I was finally able to record a conversation with a classmate using Audacity. Wow, was it ever easy! We called on Skype, then took turns discussing our topics. We each had questions that we discussed, and all that it involved was opening Audacity and pressing record. Cool beans!
What I really liked about using Audacity, besides ease of use, was how simple it was to edit the conversation. I was able to remove coughs, ummms, pauses, and things that we talked about that may have been off topic. I was able to edit down a 6 minute conversation to 4 minutes just by removing the extra "fillers" in our conversation.
As I was editing, I started thinking about other ways that I could use Audacity. Using Xilisoft, I was able to convert a video to audio and then add effects to it in Audacity. Even just recording my voice and adding effects was pretty cool. I also like how I was able to record my voice overtop of an mp3 file (I tried singing Karaoke).
Now to actually getting around to posting the conversation on my wiki...
Hi Grant, Yes Audacity seems great I agree. When you get the conversation posted on your wiki let me know how. I've worked on that process myself and I was not successful. Paul has a video on it and I've followed it step by step but I'm doing something wrong. Good luck. Eric (JJ)
