My friend is helping me with recording this weekend.
If you remember my projects, I have a list of about 100 nonwords to be recorded.
Fortunately, my friend thinks that it is going to be fun.
This is my first time preparing this type of audio stimuli.
I assume that the procedure should't be more complicating than a normal recording.
But I want to hear from others who have done this before.
Is there anything that I need to be careful about?
After finishing recording, I will have to edit the file to break it down to 100 files, each of which contains a single word.
Can you recommend a free, user-friendly program that I can use for this purpose?
This will be my next step.

Hmmm.... seems like it would be easier to record each word as separate file, then you'll have less chopping and searching on the recording.
ReplyDeleteIf you want, you can use the computers in the language lab (old horticulture bldg), since they have microphone and audio program. Then you can export files as mp3s onto a CD. I did that before for my previous project. That way, I could play them easily during the test on an in-house or portable CD player.
I used Audacity to cut stuff up and put it together for my project: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
ReplyDeleteIt's free, and pretty easy to figure out. If you want, I can show you how it works on my computer, too.
oh! i didn't know Audacity was free. Cool! I was wondering what I might use for chopping recordings in the future... nice to know :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it can actually do a lot more than just chop too--put together, generate silence, record . . plus a whole host of other complicated options that I hope to never need to know about!
ReplyDeleteEmma, I think you have done this already, but iMovie is also an option. You can edit audio files, and save it as audio files.
