Premonitions
6:04PM, August 20th, 2005
I’m making an effort to clean out my hard drive and remove all the files I use to piece together each podcast, as many wave files take up a lot of space. I do like to archive everything possible, but I figure that deleting them now will help me later on when I decide to go through them again. It might cut down the stuff available to me, but it will also cut down the amount of time needed to traul through it. I’m probably even going to go as far as removing the wave file mix downs and the Audacity work files and keep only the compressed files that are distributed and made available for download. No high quality CD release in the future, it seems.
I also got a hair cut yesterday, the first day I’ve had free for a couple of weeks. It’s really quite short again, it hasn’t been this short since many cuts ago. I must say, it wasn’t a good sign when I sat down in the chair, and looked up on top of a set of shelfs to the right of the mirror and there is a small fishbowl with a lovely purple fish floating upside in it. I tried to tell myself it was sleeping, but if the lack of food didn’t kill it, the overpowering density of nail polish fumes and hair spray certainly would have made breathing difficult for the poor thing.
Oh, and did I really talk about envelopes for most of my first podcast? Oh dear…

Have you considered converting all the little bits and pieces to MP3s before you start sticking them together rather than using wav files? I assume that you use a program that allows you to edit MP3 files directly rather than edit then convert.

I use Audacity on the mac, a freeware program, but the way it works is when you import a file to use it in the multitrack editor, it converts it to many little wav files anyway.
However, most of the source audio comes from MP3s - my portable recorder which I also use when I’m at the desk and doing Skype records directly to MP3. It’s Audacity that makes the MP3s.
I might just burn everything to a DVD. The first 10 podcasts (9 plus Phyllis’ effort) take up 4.4 gigs.
