This document addresses several methods of performing audio recording of the human voice for narration, audilogical testing, books on tape, etc. While aimed at researchers in our CSD program, these instructions could be used for recording voice interviews or narration for a film.
The workflow below outlines several methods for recording a series of long audio files followed by editing techniques. Finally, the workflow identifies a method of using markers to batch export a series of audio files from the 1 long master audio file. These individual audio files could be a single word, a sentence, a chapter, etc. Since all editing is performed on the 1 long master audio file, this workflow ensures consistency between all the individual output files.

This workflow identifies how to edit your audio using Adobe Audition or Audacity. Both of these programs are available on most PC & Mac lab workstations in the Moody College of Communication. If you wish to edit using your own computer, Audacity is the more cost effective solution as it is free, open-source software.

After your long audio file is edited, you may wish to export it as many separate files (for example, 1 file per word or 1 file per sentence).
