  22. The Power of Audio Editing

  23. In the Editing Process We Can Remove umms, ahhs, coughs, double breaths and stutters or repeated sentences Reorder our recordings or bring several different recordings together Add atmosphere, sound effects or music Ensure our audio piece sticks to its core aim

  24. Editing Options

  25. Editing Software Audacity is a free, open-source audio editor It’s user-friendly but is a powerful software It’s non-destructive, so you always have your original audio files As it’s open-source, it does have a tendency to crash Available on Windows, Mac and Linux

  26. Editing with Audacity

  27. Audacity’s main Tools Use the space bar to play and stop your audio To zoom out, hold the Shift key while using the zoom tool Ctrl+Z to undo Selector Tool Envelope Tool Zoom Shift

  28. Before you Start Listen through to your audio using a media player and log it Write the file name, what is said at what time etc. You can also rename the actual files to names you’ll understand This will help when editing and will cut down the amount of work to be done

  29. DISCUSSION – USES OF AUDIO WITHIN THE GALLERY

  30. Reaching a Wider Audience Think beyond the museum / gallery to reach an audience No one will know you are there if you don’t engage them No one will listen if they don’t know it’s there! The promotion of your audio content should be planned well. Hosting – audioboo/soundcloud/iTunes in the future...
