This week I focused on editing the stories Marsha gave me to clean-up. This has allowed me to hone my audio editing skills such as cutting and adjusting volume, so that I will be even more prepared for creating stories next year. Although many of the cds Marsha gave me where blank, which delayed the project somewhat. Hopefully we will meet this week to discuss this issue. I also emailed Nancy to check in on the indexing project. I have informed her that the indexing will probably not be finished by the end of the term and so we will have to pick it up again next year. I believe this will be fine since there was no set deadline. This will also give us time to perfect the audio of the collection.
In general, it’s pretty easy to use Audacity. I would like to eventually learn more its complicated features, but overall the program is intuitive. I’m not sure how many more stories there will be to edit, but I will hopefully finish those this term along with Alito’s story. I have not made the intro to his story yet, but I will be working on it this week. Then I can finally contact KLCC and get that conversation going for next year!
