It took days to compress the file acceptably and to upload it on various unstable connections, but Daveydweeb’s audio tutorial is now online. The video below is compressed into H.264/AVC video, which should play in most media players, and I’ll get a Theora version online if I’m ever able to.
Enjoy!

I presented for the second time yesterday, but instead of a five minute lightning talk I was given an hour to give a summary-style tutorial on audio production using Audacity. The talk was recorded, both by the organisers and by Andrew, so I’ve encoded the footage for publication and it’s on the way up now.
Unfortunately, the sound is terrible, but it’ll have to do. Encoding on a 1.33 Ghz iBook G4 is not fun. 
On another note, Adam from FLOSSManuals.net spoke up at the end of the talk to point out the existence of the Audacity manual from that site. The manual is a wiki, so I’ll be adding a section on voice editing when I have the time, hopefully before the next printing (which Adam tells me is next week).
UPDATE: The slides for this presentation are now online, under a Creative Commons license.
Yesterday, Daveydweeb was the second speaker at the Friday Lightning Talks session of Wikimania 2007. He introduced the Wikipedia Weekly podcasting project to the audience, and now we’ve put the video online as a bonus.
The MPEG version (download here) is approximately 50MB, and plays at 640×480 resolution (XVid codec may be required). You can find the Ogg Theora version here, and the YouTube version here.
Enjoy!
