Welcome to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
I'm your host Enigma and I will be talking today about basically how to record an episode
|
|
of Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
Yes, yes, I know this has been done before on pretty much every podcast known to man,
|
|
however, I'm going to go over it just because Hacker Public Radio is a little bit different
|
|
than any other podcast.
|
|
As everyone knows, we have a list of hosts, we produce a show every day, however everybody
|
|
does it a little bit differently how they record.
|
|
I'm going to tell you how I record, not to say this is the correct way, this is just
|
|
how I do it to make life easy.
|
|
I use a free software called Audacity and basically I have it on both my Windows boxes
|
|
and my Linux box.
|
|
It can run on Linux Windows and Mac OS X and I use it because it's fairly intuitive and
|
|
it's free.
|
|
I know other hosts use various software packages but Audacity is easy for me so that's
|
|
what I'm going to explain.
|
|
When you get into Audacity, I just use everything all the defaults for my shows.
|
|
I use Mono 44,100 Hertz as my default bitrate.
|
|
I know Stank uses a lower bitrate because it's better quality, however, I just use all
|
|
the defaults and my shows come out fairly well.
|
|
I can't hear much of a difference but I'm no audio guy so don't take my word for it.
|
|
Once I get done recording a show, there are an intro and outro that I'll have in the
|
|
show notes that you can download and tag on to your Audacity file by basically going
|
|
into my version of Audacity.
|
|
I go to Project and then Import Audio.
|
|
The newer versions of Audacity have it under the file layout.
|
|
I know my new Ubuntu distribution has the newest version of Audacity that they've changed
|
|
a few things so I'm going to talk about the older version of Audacity and I'm sure you
|
|
can figure it out.
|
|
After you import both the outro and the intro, I just basically move my show in between
|
|
the two and then basically just go to File and then Export as MP3 and I'm pretty much
|
|
done.
|
|
The only caveat with Audacity is you have to download the lame library and there's
|
|
different, it's different for each distribution.
|
|
I just on my Ubuntu box, just go AppGet install lib lame.dev and lib lame I believe.
|
|
I have to install those two packages on the OS X and Windows versions.
|
|
You can go right to the Audacity page and download the links from there and that's pretty
|
|
much it.
|
|
Also, you have to add your ID3 tags and the format we use for HackerPublicRadio is we
|
|
do HPR and then the number in the title and then dash whatever the show name is and then
|
|
artist would obviously be your name and then the album is HPR Season 1.
|
|
And then once we go a year we'll Season 2 and so on and so forth.
|
|
But other than that, that's pretty much it.
|
|
Have a good day and we will see you tomorrow on another episode of HackerPublicRadio.
|
|
Thank you for listening to HackerPublicRadio.
