"As a writer, I was asked to provide audio versions of what I have written. This was more of a daunting task than learning the principles of writing a book or blog. Knowing little, I asked a friend who is a sound engineer and he loaned me a Sennheiser HMD 25 broadcaster headset and told me to use Audacity for recording and editing. New equipment, new software, a NEW adventure. 

Started recording and then fumbling around with Audacity when I saw an ad for Master Editor providing training for Audacity oriented towards beginners endeavoring to produce audio files of writing or blogs. The price was better than good so I signed up.

The Master Editor breaks it down into beginner steps and also provides a bunch of macros that can be used with Audacity that can simplify the whole process of correcting and balancing my audio. (I may not have used those terms correctly as I just learned them in the Audio Clean Up Course he produced.)

One of my particular challenges is that I am losing my hearing so the graphic interface that Audacity uses along with personal feedback has been EXTREMELY helpful." by Steven D. Webber, Author & Audiobook Narrator
