Audio recording & editing doesn't have to be confusing

 

Learning how to edit audio can be intimidating. I had difficulty learning it and even went to school for audio production and engineering! Things changed when I found easy software (for my cute brain to understand) and powerful (for my very picky ears).

You get three self-paced courses: 

 

Pro Audio for Content Creators 

Learn which mic you need for your budget, and how to set i t up so that you sound great. You'll also learn about other gear you might need, room treatment, etc.

Audio Editing Fundamentals

Learn how to edit audio for any spoken word audio project. This is for total beginners or those new to the software Hindenburg Pro. (Free extended trial and discount included.)

Quality of Life Tips

  • This lesson is packed with things that will make your life as an editor easier. There are some gems in this one.

Hindenburg Pro was made for spoken word audio

 

Included in the course is an extended trial and discount on Hindenburg Pro. It's where we'll record and edit. It has the right balance of easy and powerful for beginner to advanced podcasters. It's easy to learn but involved enough for you to have control over how your show sounds. As long as you're not doing advanced sound design or music, this what I recommend. Yes, I am a senior trainer at Hindenburg, but I was a big fan for years before I started working there.

This course is not sponsored by them and I don't receive a commission on sales. I'm just a Hinden-nerd.

Each lesson is short and easily digestable

 

 The average lesson is about 5 min. My goal is to teach everything in ways that you can understand. No numbers, no math, no big audio terms without explaining them to you.

By the end of the program, your audio will sound pro and you'll be a competent editor 

 

You'll be able to confidently edit yours - or someone else's spoken-word audio projects from start to finish. 

BONUS

Who made the courses?

This course is led by me, Bek Johnson. I'm an audio engineer, podcast editor, and producer. For over a decade I've worked on countless podcasts, audio workshops, and webinars. And trust me, I know the struggle of trying to figure out this audio stuff on your own. I've had a pretty hard time with a lot of it myself. (Really!)
