1) Get your sound - this can be a tape recording or recorded directly to
disc.
I recorded Norma's interviews from the radio on to tape. The
headphone
output was then input to the line-in of my sound card.
2) Record your sound to disc using software to convert to a 'wave' file.
I use 'Goldwave'
to convert the tape recording to a wave file on disc.
a) Click 'New', new 'sound' window
appears. Set 'Mono' 'Radio' then set
length to
slightly longer that actual recording. Click OK.
b) Click Tools -> Device Controls.
When
ready to convert - hold down 'Ctrl' and click 'Record' (Red Button)
then
press 'Play' on tape recorder.
When
recording is finished - click 'Stop Recording (Lilac square)
then
press 'Stop' on tape recorder.
c) Click 'Save As' and give output
file a name with 'wav' extension.
3) Convert 'wav' file to Windows Media Format using Windows Media Encoder.
a) Click 'Convert a file' then OK.
b) Type name of 'input file' and 'output file' ( I use the
name of the input file for
the output file using 'wma' for
the extension. Click 'Next'.
c) Select 'Windows Media server (streaming)' then click
'Next'.
d) Select 'Voice Quality audio' from drop down menu then
click '19Kbs' Bit Rate.
Click 'Finish'
4) When conversion is finished, the output file can be uploaded to your web server.
