The basics of audio editing using Hindenburg

Let’s face it, the first time you open any audio editing program can seem daunting. What if it didn’t have to be? In this hands-on workshop, Senior Hindenburg Trainer Melissa Cáceres will walk you through how to approach editing a podcast without being a sound engineer. You’ll learn the basic technical skills you need to produce a high-quality audio story, including setting up a multitrack session, editing a raw interview or narration file, layering ambient sounds and some simple buff-and-shine techniques. Registration comes with a free, three-month license for Hindenburg audio editing software.
*This class is capped at 12.
