I am very grateful to those that contributed to this podcast. I invited four male and three female audio professionals from my Twitter lists but guessed it would be hard for many to participate. One friend I have known for 20 years was sick with Corvid-19. Thankfully he has since recovered.
So many thanks to Mark Cotton, Manoli Moriaty and Patrick Perdue who responded and submitted audio clips. Please click their names to find out more about them.
Podcast music resources mentioned by Manoli were Filmstro / Ben Sounds and Free Music Archive.
I also used music from both Andre Louis and Ketsa.
I have already mentioned that I edit in Ferrite. It’s only when you get the shortcuts set to your liking that you feel the real power of this amazing app.
Watch this video through and see if this is the kind of workflow that might appeal to you.
(Thanks Al Power for bringing this video to my attention.)
Here is a video of the workflow for Audacity and here is one for Reaper.

My parts of this podcast were recorded in my shed during the Corvid-19 lockdown of 2020. I used Zoom H6 and a Rode NT4 and edited in Ferrite on a first edition iPad Pro.
Thanks for listening. Normal(ish) service shall resume soon.
Please share and take care.
