For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Surgeon-General's Warning: The following query concerns digital editing of
audio (voice, mainly). Please delete if off-topic.
Background is that I'm shortly going to be getting back into CBC Radio
freelancing after an eight year hiatus. The major technical change is that
sound is now recorded digitally and edited with a software called "DALET"
on which I am told to expect severe and merciless training.
Given digital flexibility it seems to me that I ought to be able to do this
editing at home on my PowerMAC (7200). Can any of you battle hardened
communicators out there recommend a shareware/freeware/bootleg/buyware
software package to do it with? Anything else I need that I don't know of?
Cheers & thanks
