Okay, I ran this through a great program called Levelator. This evens out volume levels. I think you can hear the difference.

Okay, when you have audio like on my last file, you try to locate the source, so I asked someone else if they would chat with me in Skype so I could record it. Sharon Peters pitched in. Still you can hear some significant volume issues. The weird background noise is gone though.

This is done in Audacity on a PC. 

Kids, don't try this at home! Lisa Parisi has been having significant audio issues, so when we went to record, this is what I got...

Did this screencast: http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=8d315555d5b3eb0dd45b

On how to make a conference call. Had to redo audio (which made it better) because the telephony set up for Audacity did not work for CamStudio. 

In my audio introduction it says I used a mac with garageband to record which I did but then had to download audacity and cover with it in order to post : )

Finally got my introduction posted. I must say I was somewhat overwhelmed after the first meeting the other night and hope I can keep up. I am on EDT in PA, work in a K-12 district as a year round employee and summer is very busy for me at work. I also have to get all software I am downloading onto my machine approved ahead of time which I have to plan for. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can and think this will be a great group of people to work with and learn from!

Hello everyone, sorry it has taken me so long to get this posted, life had some unexpected but wonderful turns this week which sidetracked me from my original plans. Looking forward to working with everyone!

Thank you Lee Baber for posting info in the forum (38 weeks ago) the screencast for setting up Nicecast for the Mac.

I had one minor issue with the mic settings but then I was "Good to Go."

 

This is a short recording I made with Lisa Durff. Thank you Lisa. As always, you are so supportive.

I am glad to participate in WCA's 2.2. class.  I have a hard time with schedules and structure.  I signed up for the first class but drifted alway without completing the assignments as suggested.

One of my goals for this summer was to improve my web presence and contribute more to the EdTechTalk community.  I have started webcasting on my own with ETTK12.  This post, http://www.webcastacademy.net/node/945,  is my application for that webcast.

Hello All,

I used this opportunity to tell you about myself. I used Audacity to edit. I can't believe how nervous I was during the recording!

Here it is...

Hello,

My name's  Barbara Dieu, or Bee as people call me online. I teach English as a Foreign Language at the Franco-Brazilian school in Sao Paulo, Brazil and I am recording this using Audacity. The music that you hear at the beginning comes from Gilberto Gil's site: http://gilbertogil.com.br . He is our Minister of Culture and also a famous musician, a pioneer at publishing songs under the Creative Commons License and on his site called (Banda Larga) Broadband you can find a series of remixes based on his songs so you can create your own re-mix or mash-up like I'm doing now.

update 28/07: I have added an explanation of the recording process here. 

update 29/07:  I have added the outdated code here for the flash button instead of uploading the mp3 file again to the audio content area so as not to encumber the webcastacademy server. I had to switch this text from WYSIWYG to text editor so as to place the code. hmmm, the button appears but the sound does not come out. Checking the html code. Still does not play...argh. Now , where is it that I had found that code? Ok..found my mistake..I added an extra pair of inverted  commas after the src, argh.­

I feel excited about the accomplishments so far, mainly recording a telephony call. In the past, there were always technical issues with the computers I was working at, I never got to record both ends. There was always one voice missing!

This time, yes. A big YES! WOOHOO! OK, the bad part? It's always terrible to listen to ourselves and I realized how LOUD I am. Had to edit the whole conversation because of my so loud tone!

Dear all,

This time is full of WooHoo moments! Today I had a great time recording a skype call with Erika. I checked my settings before, opened the volume control, opened audacity and then the Audio Repeater (Yes! Don't forget it!). Then, I could see all the waves going on my screen from my side and Erika's end. Perfect! And the conversation? Even more fun!

Hello, I am Erika Cruvinel, a brazilian teacher who has been trying to learn how to stream for over a year. I joined the Webcast Academy last year, but the most I could do was to record one end of a Skype call. So please give me one more chance to learn more about webcasting. I promise to try harder this time!

 

I used Audacity for the first time - not too hard once you know what all the icons mean. I tend to be a hands on person who tries things out and then reads. Speaking of reading - I had taken a holiday from reading blogs - I was water-blogged - couldn't take anything in anymore. But this has revitalized me and I have started reading again. I am very excited about this course and this group of people. Now - to find everyone's blogs and start more reading.
