Introduction to digital audio with Nuno Correia.

I made a podcast for learning French sounds.

FINAL PODCAST [zip]

Raw material

I started off with 4 recordings (raw material) and continued with searching Edith Piaf's "La vie en rose" for the soundtrack, as the last story talked about the song. I introduced the podcasts, gave two sessions and finished the podcast with an ending. I then tried to fix the background sound mostly manually, as I have the older version of Audacity.

Sounds

Then I tried to start thinking about the sounds and I downloaded a few, and "played" manually with the duck (or envelopes), and some effects were recorded by me during the process. I also had to fix some poor recordings and pasted the sounds into the text, thus the different sound of my voice.

Final steps

Finally I compressed and normalised the whole thing. I was a bit puzzled how I would end the podcast, as the song remained singing and I could not find the suitable ending for it, but then I downloaded an enthusiastic crowd sound and that seemed like a perfect ending (it also hid the final sounds).

Hope you enjoy my podcast!
