Question for ANYONE who does audio and video editing.

Is there any website (like SkillShare, etc) that offers complete training in Open Source software (not ADOBE only for example for video)?

I use Audacity, OBS/SLOBS at the moment, but want to learn more. I also use Linux only, so no Microsoft or Mac only.

I found I learn better watching and creating, rather than reading off a website. Between my disabilities and ADHD, I have to find a way to do it on my own time.

I have a background in hardware support, but want to learn editing (is it engineering?).

Budget is an issue :(

Mashable: World’s largest call center using AI to ‘neutralize’ Indian employees’ accents. “Teleperformance SE, the largest call center operator on the planet, has come up with a way to mask the fact it operates in India for customers calling for support with their latest iPhone or Galaxy device. In a new report from Bloomberg, Teleperformance shared that it invested $13 million in Sanas, an […]

Taking a break from the hacks today to tackle a more general #tech topic: what is the #accessibility of #audio production and editing like when you're #blind and reliant of a #screenreader?
Diving into the seemingly visual realm of sliders, knobs, meters and faders, we'll take a look at a couple applications and workflows and how they can work without looking at a screen. We'll make noises and answer questions in an hour and a half over at twitch.tv/ic_null or https://youtube.com@blindlycoding #contentCreation #stream #audioEditing #selfPromo

Another update regarding the 3.7.1 rebase from your local @gperson:

Unfortunately, I've decided that our light and dark themes will not be re-added during the initial rebase. I'm quite done dealing with upstream's theming system, which has only gotten...better, I guess?

Instead, they'll be added once the theme system rewrite is complete. That way, themes will be much easier to deal with.

Hope everyone had a great holiday experience! We've made some recent changes:

- Tenacity can now build against a more minimal wxWidgets configuration.

- Tenacity no longer initializes some unneeded handlers.

- We've updated some help buttons.

Also, not to hype up anybody, but these should be the last changes before we release 1.3.4. It contains quite a few fixes that we hope make things better.

3/3

Finally I got around to asking Audacity to add an option to export the labels track as a chapters json!

With so many people, I'm sure, using Audacity to edit podcast episodes, it's very strange to me that this is not possible yet. Could that be one of the reasons why so few podcasts does use this very useful feature?

If you would like to be able to do this too, I'd appreciate a thumbs up on this issue: github.com/audacity/audacity/i

Oh Mastodonians, #audioEditing question. I’m about to edit a podcast. I have trouble with volume levels. I don’t hear differences well, and have had to redo a lot of work in the past because others heard discrepancies. I have about 6 tracks, which will be mixed and crossfaded. I’m open to long-term learning, but for this project, the tools I know are Goldwave using Jaws, and reaper using NVDA. Are their steps I can take at the beginning, or implement at the end, to achieve a consistent volume?
