The initial recording was easy enough, but then I had to integrate the music and add effects. The first obstacle to tackle was adding background music to compliment the voice audio recording. After watching the short tutorial, I was able to add an mp3 track to the voice recording. The next thing I needed to do was remove an awkward pause from the voice recording. I used the selection tool to select the pause and deleted the extra time to make the voice section smoother.
I learned the biggest difference between a podcast and a downloadable audio file is the way that it is delivered. I also learned that there are plenty of free audio tools available that produce excellent results. In the future I plan to use Audacity for any audio editing that I need to do. It will be helpful for educational projects as well as business projects.
