Those of you that have used Flixier before probably know that our online video editor can be used to record audio through your computer’s microphone. Since a good setup is going to make post-production a lot easier, we highly recommend that you follow the steps in the previous article first in order to get the best results. More specifically, we’re going to teach you how to use Audacity - a professional audio editing tool - in order to clean up your recordings and create professional sounding voice overs for your videos. This week’s article is all about post-production, meaning the things that you can do to enhance your audio after it’s already been recorded. That advice was meant to be put into use during the preparation phase, long before you press the record button. There’s a lot here, but we’ll go into more depth in future articles in this series.In last week’s blog post we gave you some tips to help you get higher quality vocal recordings. Selection tools: Here, you can choose where to start selection by time, and then choose to put in an end time, or a length of selection.Audio tracks: The top of this area has the timeline, and any audio tracks will appear here.Shortcut bar: Shortcuts to quick actions – such as cut, paste, insert silence, etc – and for zooming.Level sliders: Change the volume level for both output and input, and the drop-down menu to the immediate right is to select an input.
Clicking on the the input meter will actively monitor audio levels, and right clicking will give you options to change the refresh rate. Level meters: The left one is for output, and the right is for input.Toolbar: In order, from top-left to bottom-right: Selection, Envelope, Draw, Zoom, Time Shift, and Multi-Tool Mode.Audio controls: The standard controls – pause, play, stop, skip backward, skip forward, and record – for the project as a whole.There’s a lot of options in the main window, but it breaks down pretty simply.
