Blog 10
Thursday was an editing day. It definitely was one of my hardest days because I have listened to these interviews so many times, it is hard to focus while editing them. I started with the interview with Dr. Shankman. I was able to remove the high pitch noise after trying many different effects, but then it made the audio sound different, so I had to try to make it sound more natural. I then went to the part I had to record with my phone, and my part sounded good, but hers sounded like she was on the phone. I first removed the hissing from the computer, and I am still trying to make her part sound better. I then went on to edit my conversation with Professor Snook. The other day, I attempted many times to get an intro, background, and outro I liked, but I decided I was not happy with it, so I re-recorded it. I also made some edits to the Jaime Irick interview. I am close to getting the audio from the Amy Latimer interview, which is good because I haven’t gotten to listen to the recording yet, so it will be fresh.
On Friday, I did some more editing. The Scott Snook one is almost finished, and I will be posting it on Tuesday. After that, I will either post the Amy Latimer one or the Dr. Shankman episode. Hopefully, over the next few days, I will be able to hear back from some more people, and maybe I can interview them. By the end of intensives, I want to have three episodes besides the one I released fully finished. I was trying to find some analytics, and it looks like on Apple Podcasts there are 18 subscribers and 7 on Spotify. It seems like a lot of people know about the podcast, and I hope they start to listen and subscribe.
Ryan, it sounds like you have been able to trouble shoot all the problems that you encountered with the audio and recording. When I read this part of your Blog 9—“I then recorded my Scott Snook intro and outro, so I could start finalizing the edits. It probably took me 15 tries to get the one I liked. The fifteenth one is definitely the hardest because you have to still sound enthusiastic and genuine.”—I laughed out loud. Over the past year, I’ve had to make many videos and recordings for my classes. There have been moments when I’ve run into tech issues, I have screaming children in the background, or it just takes me a few times to get the video the way I want it. By the fifth try, it’s tough to sound enthusiastic, but the audience doesn’t need to know how many times I’ve recorded or that I felt frustrated. I listened to the first episode of your podcast with Brad Stevens from the Celtics, and I enjoyed it very much!
