My first segment
In this beginner tutorial you can follow all the step, from importing audio to the finished segment.
It’s all done in 11 min .. so buckle up : )
hello and welcome to this my first
segment tutorial in this tutorial we're
going to create a simple a and B segment
with narration and interview Simone and
Kip ski have been creating crazy sounds
together since they were kids in the
city of Utrecht well we started way back
when we were like 11 year old kids years
ago skateboarding and then when we got
tired we would just spend hours let's
begin by importing the audio you've been
out recorded the interview you've loaded
it into your computer and now you can
import it directly into Hindenburg you
can also drag and drop directly from
your finder let's try to look at some of
the basic navigation to keep a better
overview of your material suming is a
great tool you can zoom out and zoom in
on the buttons up here or you can use
your shortcuts
your playhead indicates your current
position in the audio it's possible to
move your playhead to any point in the
audio for playback with your mouse you
can click anywhere in the top area of
the track or at the bottom when your
mouse is an i-beam you can relocate your
playhead so now press the spacebar to
play back your audio and you can press
it again to stop yeah my name is Simon
now we're going to set in and out Marcus
this we need to do because you want to
select a specific area we want to work
on if you want to cut move or otherwise
manipulate our old you these are the in
and out markers you can use the
shortcuts I for in to set an in marker
yeah my name is Simon Simon like a month
has find the end you drag you want to go
out and set an out marker with 04 out
now we have created a selection we can
move the in and out markers after the
fact by just dragging a marker itself a
month you'd wreck we can now listen to
our selection by holding shift and
pressing spacebar yeah my name is Simon
Simon like a month from Utrecht yeah my
name is Simon
now let's turn our attention to the
clipboard the clipboard is a tool that
we're going to be using all through this
tutorial a clipboard is a place where we
can store our sound bites could be
interview music ambience whatever you
can call the group's whatever you like
now we're going to take the selection we
just made and drag it into the clipboard
for later use here we can give it a new
name so we can always remember what it
was in this case my name is and we could
also play back the clip directly from
the clipboard we can just highlight the
clip and press spacebar yeah my name is
Simon Simon I commands from Utrecht
now let's try to make a few more clips
this time we're going to be using some
new tools cut and split well we started
way back when we were like you live now
while we're listening through the
interview we find there's an R that will
like to get rid of so we're now going to
drag a selection you can see it's an
i-beam and as long as it's an i-beam we
can drag it at the top and the bottom of
the track to create a selection or we
can use I and O the selection here we
can cut that out and the r is God well
we've started way back when we were like
if we listen further there's another
problem he says we used to go
skateboarding twice we just need the one
so we're going to cut out where he says
we but this time we're going to use
split going to place our play head and a
split the audio so it's split into two
let's locate the other we split that
highlight the region in between and cut
that out now let's listen to the final
result when we were like 11 year old
kids years ago skateboarding and then
when we got tired we would just and that
sounds fine now let's listen through to
where we want to exit the clip right
here and we'll keep the breath in there
to move Clips around we can highlight it
and as long as our cursor is in the
middle of the region like this and an
arrow we can hold down the mouse drag
and move like this fades are something
that we use all the time to create
transitions if I highlight this region
now we get some fade handles here in the
corners actually there's a handled in
the middle which you can't see which is
trim and a feed and let the bottom if we
just focus on the top one we can drag
that and create a fade at the beginning
here we would like to do a fade in as
well well we start at first we need to
split the audio here and use this room
tone fade in so we have a beginning of
this sound bite now we can take all the
clips in this edit here and select them
and drag them into our clipboard here we
can give it a new name and just run
through your interview like this so we
have all these sound bites that we need
for the segment and now we're ready to
record let's choose an input
arm the track and now we can see we have
input on our track all we need to do now
is just press the record button and we
begin recording continue running through
your recordings like this but if you do
make a mistake whilst you're recording
you can do a punch in just stop your
recording go back a bit playback from
there and when you're ready press the
record button again and then you'll
punch in
now we can take all the voices that we
just made add them to our clipboard
we're basically ready to begin montage
we have all our clips in the clipboard
but maybe you still have some leftover
audio lying around on your workspace now
there's just not tidy so let's tidy up a
bit selects everything and just delete
it or press clear now it's all nice and
tidy and we have begin laying up our
sound bites let's put this in at the
very beginning of the workspace my name
is Simon Simon I commands from C Mon and
get key let's stop roughly where we want
our first voice are to come in here we
go the levels are automatically set you
can just add a failing shift key Simone
and caps key have been creating crazy
sounds together since they were kids in
the city of ultra had a fade at the
other end as well a signal next clip
direct we used to go skateboarding this
time we would like to add a fade by
using a shortcut I think the way to do
that is we want to place our playhead
where the fade begins and just press f
there you go we've made a fade let's do
the same here in Reverse replace up
playhead where you want the Fate to end
and press f and it creates the fade
forest examples sword over that
simulacrum at the Simone of one more
time place the playhead press F as your
fate
continue doing these two you've used all
the clips in the clipboard and now
you're ready to export here you can
choose the file format that you would
like to use and over here you even have
some more options the most interesting
one being without pneus you can choose
the overall loudness normalisation for
your export for podcasting minus 16 but
for broadcast radio minus 23 or minus 24
you can also save your favorite settings
now press ok this case i'm using minus
16 give it a name save your segment a
few seconds later you're all done and
congratulations you've just finished
your first segment
Hangouts, Facetime or other
