Go to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and download the latest version of Audacity (note: you’re welcome to use another program like GarageBand or Adobe Premiere with the caveat that I can only provide limited technical support for these programs).
Audacity comes equipped with tools to record your voice, but you will also need to add music and sound effects to your podcast. The best site to find free and legal sound clips for your podcast is http://www.freesound.org/ (note: registration is required, but they will not spam you).
Spend some time playing with the technology and getting comfortable with it. Before we finish this activity, I would like each of you to practice:
- recording your voice
- importing a sound file from FreeSound or some other source
- moving an audio clip to a different spot on the timeline
- editing audio (i.e. cutting, copying, or pasting something from one part of the timeline to another)
- applying filters or effects to an audio clip (i.e. fade in/out, reverb, etc.)
