Panos Day 4: Power of Audio



Audio is the backbone of good multimedia and day 4 began with a presentation on digital audio, file formats, recording equipment and editing software. This was followed by a hands-on session on recording and editing into the computer.

We used Adobe Audition, a very powerful software.



This is the start of the exciting part of the workshop and it showed. All participants were eagerly pouring over their computers, headphones plugged in, recording and editing their test audio tracks.



Audio can make or break a multimedia presentation. It is important to carefully plan the audio such that it can carry the presentation on its own even without the visuals. Besides making for good productions, having strong audio has the added advantage of porting to radio platforms as well.



Besides the slowly building pressure of putting together a multimedia production, its also raining in Kathmandu. So not much time to go sightseeing today!
