mrBen was here this evening and we were discussing the whole podcasting/audiobook thing.
Actually, that’s not strictly true. We already had that conversation and had moved on to fixing up some microphones and seeing what it actually sounded like. We recorded my telling of a story and although I’m more used to it now, I thought I sounded like a wet fart escaping from a bag.
Apparently everyone feels the same way once you hear your own voice played back to you. Or maybe my voice actually sounds like a wet fart escaping from a bag…
So, we used Audacity for the recording. Had to use the Windows version as there was a known bug with the software and my Audigy sound card in Linux. Shame.
But it wasn’t an altogether terrible experience. Still have the mic and the mixing desk here, much to Ruthy’s dismay, and I’ll play with it some more to get a bit more comfortable with it.
