Podcasting Problems

I got wrong advice. Or perhaps I asked a wrong question.

I have reported earlier in my Blog about the bug in the new version QuickTime, which resulted to Keynote loosing audio of a slideshow when exporting the slideshow to QuickTime. In the meanwhile Apple has published an update to Keynote, and now also the export of a Keynote presentation to PowerPoint fails so that PowerPoint 2008 cannot open the exported file. No improvement in exporting the audio to QuickTime. Even worse, currently the QuickTime export will export a slideshow to QuickTime without the audio channel. iMovie, however, fails to open this exported movie. Remedy to this is to open the exported file with QuickTime Pro, and then save the file as a QuickTime movie.

In my quest to improve calculus podcasts I asked the advice of a professional musician about microphones and audio interfaces. Following that advice I then bought a good condenser microphone, and Mbox 2 Pro from Digidesign (http://www.digidesign.com/), which comes with the industry leading audio system Pro Tools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Tools). This created an additional problem: I have not yet been able to get Pro Tools operate with the new Mac OS Leopard. To purchase Pro Tools was the wrong advice that I got. Or maybe I should have asked “What is the best audio editing system for me?” rather than asking “What is the best audio editing system?”

After having wasted several days with these problems I gave up and purchased Apogee Duet (http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/duet.php), a wonderful Mac only audio interface. It works with Mac OS X Core Audio system (unlike Pro Tools), its design is slick, and the system worked right out of the box. In 10 minutes I was already recording my version of “Veronika, Der Lenz ist Da” together with Palast Orchester. No, you will not want to listen to me singing. But I am now looking forward to adding the audio tracks by iMovie to Keynote slideshows exported to movies. We should perhaps have a JEM Training session on these topics in Trondheim.
