Michelle and I began recording the audio tour today. Or, rather, Michelle recorded it while I videotaped her and tried to soak up as much ProTools knowledge as possible. She wasn't kidding when she said that isn't a very user-friendly program. There are all of these buttons you have to press just to get started, and a bunch of other stuff that just seemed unnecessary. I'm used to using Cool Edit Pro, where you just press record and do your thing. Cool Edit can get a little difficult to learn when you get around to adding effects and doing other weird stuff, but it's nothing like this. I dunno, maybe it just looked harder than it is. I'll find out next semester.
We recorded both Laura and Michelle's friend Austin. It went a lot faster than we thought it would, as Beth has told us horror stories about the time she recorded some podcasts and it ended up taking a million takes. Michelle had the idea to just leave the tape running and every time a line gets flubbed to wait a few seconds and re-read it from that point, to be all edited together later. I think this saved us a lot of time, and I heard some of her edited tracks and it sounds seamless.
Because we had so much extra time, I decided to mess with Laura while she was recording for the benefit of a future YouTube video about the Audio Tour recording. I'd wait until she was having a good take and blow my nose or eat a bag of chips. One time I fell down and Michelle beat me up.
And I made another slide show:
