Tom Snyder

I thought last Thursday's class went pretty well. Tom is very funny, the audio clip about death row and weight watchers is hilarious. And I thought the exercise of editing his legal story was very helpful.
Window's movie maker is easy to use. It makes moving and editing audio fairly simple, which it should be.

Then I started to edit my audio...

And it was a disaster. What else is new right?

The audio clips do not sound good. I was at a coffee shop and you can hear the buzzing of people talking and the occasional truck roaring by, all from a crappy little recorder which I didn't think was even capable of recording our voices. I tried to edit these sounds out using audacity but it made the background noises sound like alien beeping. Improvement? Maybe... I haven't decided.

So there's that problem and then I thought, screw it I'll just edit the audio down to 5 minutes anyways, but for whatever reason Windows Movie Maker refuses to show the little audio squiggles, even though the sound is playing. What the hell!?!?!?!?

No more time for blogging... I have some serious audio issues to tackle.
