Editing the Coiled Spring in Audacity

Editing Episode 7 in Audacity

Here’s what the editing process looks like in Audacity, the FOSS tool I use. You can see the many tracks are all “rolled up” to view more of them, and also you can see (if you view the full size version) that the track names include a number. I do this so that I can use Audacity’s “Sort Tracks by Name” function (Tracks > Sort > by Name) to organize the tracks. The roll-up function lets you shrink tracks so you can get them out of the way once you’re finished with them.

I’ll be posting some further technical tips in the future, because I’ve learned so much about recording, editing and posting a podcast in the last few months. I’ve obviously got more to learn, but I’ll post things I learn as I go. How about that?

Episode 5: Rebecca Jeschke of EFF, Hostess Zingers, Digital Rights

CoiledSpringEpisode005THIS PROG: I’m very pleased to have a chat with my friend Rebecca Jeschke, Media Relations Director and Digital Rights Analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. We talk about how the EFF got started, why they’re needed, and what issues are occupying them right now. It turns out that lots in the news is on their radar – the Petraeus affair, MegaUpload and Kim Dotcom of course. Rebecca is also helping EFF in the Open Wireless Movement, which encourages everyone to open their wifi. We also talk about how a talented and smart individual like Rebecca goes from Harvard to a slime line to protecting your (and my) digital rights in an increasingly digital age. Show Notes

“Journalism”.
