Lynda, I want you
I want Lynda. I’ve
heard her name mentioned before, but never taken a keen interest in getting to
know her. But after doing a quick search yesterday, I found her and instantly fell in love. The video preview spoke to me. It’s been a tough couple weeks and I needed
relief. I’ll get back to Lynda later…
After Tony and I struggled two weeks ago with our new Zoom
toy, we had much more success this past weekend. Tony was feeling anxious and immediately
alerted me that I would need to be lead. We were helped by the new Ninja Pro smoothie
maker that I just purchased. This will be a source of much joy for us.
Smoothie in hand, I immediately dug into Blubrry as our
podcasting host. I took the 30 day free
trial and claimed our WordPress site: www.revealingvoices.blubrry.net. We stalled at finding a way to link that page
to our primary domain at www.revealinvoices.com. Not wanting to get into another Zoom focus
fiasco, I left that issue for another day and moved on to Ecamm. It was easy to set up. We initially were only
going to get it for Skype, but I opted for the bundle adder with Facetime. It totaled
$60. The reason was to have flexibility if
we have an interview with someone who prefers Facetime.
After Ecamm, Tony and I recorded a quick interview between
the 2 of us. I saved the file and moved the audio onto Garageband. I also saved Tracy’s music recordings and moved to
Garageband. Finally, I added a brief
recording we did through Zoom in the studio. Voila! All 3 audio files seamlessly linked
together and our sample was complete. This
will never be made available to the public. It is non sequitur goobledigook.
Five hours later, we made as much progress as could be
expected on a Saturday afternoon. However, Tony did
not feel well. The man looked like he had been run over by a techno train. As I parted, I left him with the words, “Your
job is to have questions, not answers.” It
was meant to be encouraging, but I think he wasn’t even sure what questions to
be asking yet. I know how that feels.
When I called him on Sunday evening, he said he had slept
all but a couple of hours since we parted.
I reassured him that I am not expecting him to know answers right now
and we dug in a bit to action items. He would call Blubrry in the morning and discuss
hosting and integration of our domain with Wordpress. He would also get Skype on the Mac. Bill
Murray baby steps.
As we ended the conversation, I mentioned that my big need
was learning how to optimize Garageband for podcast creation. I got off phone,
and googled it. That is when I met Lynda.
