Revision as of 05:40, 7 October 2010

You will need

  1. A reasonably fast computer, with internet access
  2. A microphone
  3. Audio editing software, such as audacity
  4. An account on this website

You should read

  1. The Basic Principles of Audio Recording
  2. The Production Guidelines

What to do

  1. Go to the studio and choose an episode plan you want to make. This should likely be a B grade episode plan.
  2. Download the relevant audio segments
  3. Listen to the audio a couple of times and familiarize yourself with the content
  4. Convert any stereo audio to mono (Tracks/Stereo to Mono in Audacity)
  5. If necessary, clean up the audio
  6. Decide which (parts of) audio segments you'd like to use, and (roughly) what you'd like to say
  7. Plan how you're going to fit it all into 1h 59min
  8. Cut and assemble the audio as needed
  9. File/Export the final product according to the Show Guidelines
  10. When it's done, upload it (N.B. As of 2010-10-01, we still need to build a mechanism for this. For now, post it somewhere on WWW and post a link to the mailing list)
