Story Time

Story Time: 

The assignment given to us for the week was to record one of our friends telling a story. We then take the recorded audio and edit it down to one minute. Using Adobe Audition we are able to place the audio on a multitrack so that we can edit multiple audio recordings at one time. Once we have recorded our friend telling their story, we then must edit it down to a one minute recording with all of the important information so that the listener can fully understand the story. We then place our own introduction to the video and also a closing identifying who the speaker is and concluding the moral of the story at the end. Below is the original audio recording that I took of my friend talking completely unedited. 

In Abobe Audition I then put the recording on a mix track where I was able to place the original audio on the first track and the introduction along with the conclusion on track 2. Using the razor tool I was able to edit down the story to about 1:03. I found it very hard since Josh told so many stories in such a short time, so editing it down so that it was not only easy to follow along but so it was short enough and made sense. I found that by magnifying the track and being able to see the levels of audio it was easier to know where Josh would pause and be able to use the razor tool and trim the overall audio.
