Now we are getting closer into our final aim that is to record the Pod cast.
The most important thing that we need to start the recording is an audio card in our computer, please check on the back of your computer (sometimes is also on the front) you will find three little inputs (holes) the most of the times one is blue, the other is green and the third is a pink one, the pink one is the microphone input, the plug of our microphone goes there. The second most important thing that you’ll need to you’re your PODCAST is a microphone, you can’t do it without it. I would recommend you a standard SHURE RS25, is not too expensive but if you lack of money anything that could record your voice will work out. I’m going to choose a cheap regular microphone to record the Pod cast that I will use an example to keep on explaining the recording Process. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING? GO AND GET YOUR MIC AND COME BACK LET’S GET STARTED IN HERE!!!
Once that you had plug your mic into the computer; you need to check out that everything is working fine, you can check it on the recording controls of your computer, the microphone ought to be selected as your main dispositive, then we need to check if it is recording, remember that your mic has to be turned on. Once that you know that is selected and plugged into the mic input lets run the program; it is going to be initialized on multitrack mode; you have to change it into the edit view; now press record and a box will appear asking you for the resolution of the file. Press OK and then you will start recording, now you will be able to record your voice. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Now go and get the subject that you want to talk about, I decided to talk about the hurricanes in Hawaii. You can talk about any subject you want. Go on and write a script of your pod cast, this will help you to know what you want to do with your program; how it is going to be structured, what you are going to say and which files do you want to have on your background and if you are going to add some music to your program. I added two songs, one at the end (Whispers in the dark by Skillet) and the other (Cassie by flyleaf) at the very end.
Once that you had recorded your voice save it as a sound file in a folder in which you are going to save all of the files that you are going to use on your PODCAST.
Well, now you have to switch into the multitrack session and start mixing your voice and editing, use some songs on the background so you could have ambience, you can also download some sound effects on the internet, anything you want, that has to do more with your creativity go on and play a little bit with it. Once that you had finished save the session and save the main product of your mixing as an mp3 file and now you can upload it into the internet or convert it into an mp4 track in order to upload it into your Ipod… I am going to upload my Podcast so you could have an idea of how it should be.
