[Coco] CoCoTALK! podcast all caught up!

[Steve Strowbridge]

It is a lot of work I don't know how the CoCo Crew do it every month, and I
don't know how Neil Blancard is able to edit a show that's in a strictly
audio format, audio editing is nowhere near as user friendly because you
can't visually scrub through the show, to "see" what segment you're at.
I'm assuming you have to listen to each segment to know how/when/where to
slice/dice and splice.

For me taking a show that started as a video is much easier to literally
see when things change, when speakers change, when the subject changes,
etc., so finding places to create breaks, sections, etc., is a little
easier.  I do the the initial edit and re-structure visually when it's
still a video, my commercials are actually video commercials, so they play
well to the video audience as well as the audio audience, then I export the
entire video to a WAV file and run some audio processing and clean up on
that using Audacity, and finally convert that to MP3 to be published with
the Podcast host.

Lastly, with the new episodes, I'm taking time to do a manual
post-production process to visually scrub through the entire wave file, and
look for "breath" sounds, excess silence, noise, spikes, etc., and try and
clean a lot of that out so the playback is a little cleaner and smoother.
That process alone can literally take hours to clean up an already edited
audio file.  Due to the large volume/back catalog of previous episodes,
this didn't happen on many of the first 22, but moving forward I will try
and do a much as I can.

My hat is off to the great Neil Brookings!
