How's it? How's it? Andy Gotts's portrait photography is a perfect presentation of the power of people's personalities to shine through a photograph. You may not be familiar with the name Andy Gotts but I guarantee you that you are familiar with the faces that he has been photographing through his long and illustrious career. The reason that we're looking at Andy Gotts's photographs today are that they are a perfect illustration of what happens when a photographer focuses on the real thing, the real point of a portrait photograph, which of course is the subject. At the heart of Andy's photographs is a real connection with the people whom he is, you know, photographing. I think this connection that Andy has with his subjects is best illustrated by the story behind the iconic portrait of Tony Curtis. Andy and Tony had a session lined up and Tony Curtis wasn't feeling particularly well but he said he would honor the session anyway so long as in his words that Andy could make him look like an icon one more time. The idea that came up with was to paint Tony Curtis' face with the American flag and Tony loved the idea and they had the session together and he then jetted back to London and soon as he landed he you know went through the images from the session and he emailed one over very quickly to Tony Curtis' wife Jill who had instantly emailed back and said look you know Tony he collapsed this morning and he's not very well and would you mind sending over a you know high res version of the image that you've shown me so I can print it out and show it to Tony at the hospital. Of course he did this and Jill went and had an A4 print made of this this image and she she took it to Tony, he held it in his hands for a while, fixated on it for about two minutes and then he turned to Jill and he said, Gilly this is the best photograph ever taken of me and of course he died that afternoon and you know that and he says you know that this this is the fact that it was the last photograph ever taken of him and that it's his favorite is is so powerful and you don't get this kind of connection with people who you are photographing if you don't have the ability to you know engage with them as real people the reason that you know Andy can get such connection with people is I feel down to kind of like sort of four aspects and the first one of those really is that you know he doesn't take an awfully long time with the session itself you know he said maybe 10 minutes max and and that's kind of really it you know that they are very short they are to the point and they're not allowing the the subject to become bored as as it were and you get to this point by actually spending time with the people who you are going to photograph and he says he likes to think of the photo sessions as more kind of like you know in a long chat with 10 minutes of shooting in there and and that's such a good good tip for especially portrait photographers is to make your subject feel comfortable find out things about them you don't have to make silly small talk and stuff but just show a genuine interest in the things that interest them and he says he doesn't really talk about you know upcoming projects or anything like that with with people because he doesn't want to photograph the character he doesn't want to photograph Danny Ocean he wants to photograph George Clooney Han Solo that's that's for Andy Leibovitz to photograph for him he wants to photograph Harrison Ford as you look at these photographs you'll also notice there is something that is mostly missing and that is any sort of props right he says he doesn't take any props to a session the props that you do see occasionally in the images are there because they were either in the house of the of the person being photographed and they included them in in the photo shoot not Andy saying can you use this can you use that because you know again you if you look at an overall alliance on props and things like that it takes away from the true purpose of a portrait photograph which is connecting connecting with the person seeing the character in their face and that includes the lines and the bumps and the wrinkles and the spots and all these things that quite often especially when you look at celebrity photography are retouched to oblivion you know and and Andy says if you look at many of his interviews he says he doesn't like airbrushing he doesn't want to you know smooth out all that kind of stuff he wants the realness and and I think it's a mark of respect for him as a photographer that the celebrities are quite happy to go along with this Scarlett Johansson you know she had some some acne on her forehead and he said look do you want to you know wait until it dies down because I'm not going to airbrush it out and she said no no look you know we'll do the session because young ladies will see they will see my picture and say do you know what she has she has some spots just like me and and I think that's a wonderful you know a wonderful approach and it's because he and he's being upfront he's being honest and real and and you get the respect back from the people whom he is photographing I think when you treat people this way ultimately you really want to allow people to be themselves that is that's the real mark of a portrait photograph that has that power and the presence to really kind of you know linger and Andy's sort of approach is to kind of let these these stars these icons and they are icons embrace they're in a child you know they can either be silly or serious or what have you but that's that's a great way of seeing something that is the person themselves and not the persona that is around them so how does this all benefit you as somebody who wants to take great portraits of of people okay well firstly you know we've looked at the approach keeping it simple you know that they you don't want to over clutter things it just needs to be you the subject and a camera and one or two lights if that's what you want to do but keep the set simple keep it so you don't need to be thinking about the technical aspects of things your job as a as a portrait photographer is to connect to that person so keep things simple it will make your life a lot easier it is tempting of course to also think about the effects that you can put in later on and you know playing in Photoshop and things of that nature but if you start doing that then you are put I think you're putting the process in the wrong direction that you are trying to make the photo later rather than making it in camera rather than you know doing the best you can do right now and as soon as there's a disconnect and you'll mention we strike this whole thing we've talked about connections with people soon as there's a disconnect between you and the subject then that's when the photograph starts to fall apart and no amount of Photoshop gymnastics or stuff like that is going to rescue that well now failed image every time you read an article on interview with with Andy he talks about the wider things that go on around the celebrities that he's photographing and listening to Clint Eastwood play jazz and all these kind of you know sort of things and being in rooms with three great sort of comedy icons you know it's it's the experiences and they happen and Andy's able to recount them because he is spending time to you know just have a conversation have a chat with people that he's photographing now he's extremely lucky that you know he is able to spend this time with celebrity probably as again it's that mark of respect that he's built up over the years that they know that he isn't going to waste their time Paul Newman called him one-shot gots because he was you know as he turned up to to go and photograph Paul Newman and Paul Newman was like well we're done already I said yep we're done you know so he's not wasting their time and so when you as a photographer are going to photograph somebody you know be you know somebody who you know we're a model does anyone you know doesn't really matter dedicate most of the session to talking with them getting to know them explaining your ideas talking through the shoot that you're going to do don't waste an hour taking the same picture over and over and over and over and over again with the expectation that it's going to be different right it's not going to be different no matter the number of times you press the shutter it's not going to change but if you spend in an hour session 45 minutes talking with the person connecting with them you know engaging them in the session the results are going to be so much better I guarantee you right so that's the whole I think that's the secret really here is is to talk to people to connect with them keep the images simple and be like Cartier Brisson in in the studio or taking the portrait that there is a moment when something just comes together and the more that you look for it the more that you will start to recognize it and I guarantee it will improve your portrait photography 100% it will make it so much better there are a number of really great portrait photographers working today and they may not get the recognition of people like Aberdeen and Penn and all there's there's lorded other names from the past but they are extremely worth checking out of course you know and and Mark Seliger is one of those portrait photographers who works in sort of fashion and and magazine world whose work while it's slightly different to Andy Gotts is I think is absolutely stunning and well worth you checking out if you are interested in portrait photography and I've linked to him over here check out the video his wonderful presentation of his photography thank you ever so much for watching and I will see you again soon

Explain to me the difference between me and my mom's genome comparison being relatedness, but not me in a chip Okay, I think it's a confusing book analogy again if we took all the books written by Shakespeare We would find a very high percentage of similarities in his style of writing the words that he chose to use etc Shakespeare can write some plays and somebody else can write some books and somebody else can write some books and there So yes, I agree.  No question about that Does that prove you're related to a mosquito when you're looking at the genetics you can't I don't think that you can draw that line And say okay, well when you're comparing the genome between me and my mother that means it's relatedness But when you're comparing the genome between me and a chimpanzee, you know, that's where it stops


So today's video is, like I said, the Bear Crawl challenge or test. So we're going to do a reaction video. What?  Oh my god, no. Is it a max distance doing a Bear Crawl? This guy did a mild Bear Crawl in 62 minutes. Oh my god.  Hey, what's up, you guys? How are we and what is going on? As you can see in the background, I've got some... Well, I've got something on the wall, which is pretty exciting. And behind me, believe it or not, I'm going to give you one look, one look only. This is going to be the only time. We've actually got a scratch map. I don't know if you can see, but there's very few countries on that map scratched out. So I suppose one of my goals, one of my big goals for 2020, is to scratch off a couple more of those countries. And if you don't know what couple of countries I'm talking about, well, you haven't been listening hard enough, have you? Look, guys, we're back for another Rugby Player Reacts video. Today's video, we're continuing with the fitness tests that I have been creating a video series called Rugby Player Versus. Or Rugby Player Tries. I'm not actually sure what it's going to be called yet. Probably the title that has the best click-through ratio or CTR possible because you want people to see your video at the end of the day. So with all that being said, today we're continuing with that series. I've had two suggestions from multiple subscribers. So I won't shout you out because I've been told this by more than one person for each of these tests. And the two tests are the Bear Crawl Test and the Murph. The Bear Crawl Test is to do with Rugby or football. I'm not sure. Maybe both. The second, which is the Murph, is a CrossFit workout. It's a CrossFit workout that I was going to do back in 2017 when I joined a CrossFit box for the first time. But I never ended up doing it. I think it was on a Saturday and everyone came down, had a bit of a competition, bit of a barbecue at the end. Great day out. I didn't go. So I haven't done it and I can't exactly remember what was in it. So today, first of all, we're going to look at the Bear Crawl Challenge and following that, we're going to look at the Murph. So sit back, relax, get your beverage of choice and let's get into this.  And I'm going to put on this, which is a scarf. My mum got me. Sorry, that's not how you do it.  It was a fashion statement, believe it or not. White shirt, black scarf. We got told off for wearing it. High school, eh? Just backwards. Anyways, guys, I'm going to continue like this because when I do get outside to try this myself, it's going to be about two degrees. So anyways, let's go. Today's video is, like I said, the Bear Crawl Challenge or Test. So we're going to do a reaction video. What?  Oh, my God, no. Is it a max distance doing a Bear Crawl? This guy did a mile Bear Crawl in 62 minutes. Oh, my God.  Okay. One mile Bear Crawl Challenge.  I did not expect that. I had no idea what to expect, but I definitely didn't expect that. Okay. MV Virtual Field Day 2020. Now, for some reason, even though it's only got 163 views, I feel like this guy's going to explain what the Bear Crawl Challenge is and that's what we need. Really? Okay, so that's a one minute Bear Crawl Challenge. Let me get onto Google. I'm assuming that there's a fair few different Bear Crawl Challenges. But this is how to do a Bear Crawl. Press your palms firmly into the ground. Tuck your toes and hover your knees. Move your left hand and right foot forward at the same time. Then move your right hand and left foot forward at the same time. Continue moving forward and challenge yourself to move backwards. What is the Bear Crawl good for? The Bear Crawl is a fundamental total body exercise that can rehabilitate and strengthen your shoulder joints. Develop the core and leg muscles and improve cardiovascular conditioning.  Bear Crawl Challenge. LoveSweatFitness.com. You've got to crawl before you can walk and walk before you can run. We all start somewhere and this week we're starting... And this week, we all start somewhere and this week, we're starting together with a Bear Crawl Challenge. One of the... Are you really going to be able to tell me? Right, well, what's the challenge? Your best Bear Crawl. No, we don't want that. Extreme Fitness Challenge. Otago Daily Times. From Wednesday, the 12th of December, 2012. Recently, a friend asked me what I like to... What I think about on my drive to workouts. Like, do I feel anxious or wonder why the hell I'm up this early? Torturing myself. Here's what I think about. Absolutely nothing. I know the workout will be tough. It always is and I'm good with that. So, I don't have to waste energy thinking about that part of it. Um... Right. Bear Crawls. No, there's no... No, no, no. This is not giving it. This is not giving us our test. The 2020 Bear Crawl Challenge by... Good morning. Oh, good morning. December 30th, you're ready to work on the Fitness Challenge for 2020. The goal for this year is to do a crawl. One time, you can do it in 30 seconds intervals, whatever, but at the end of the day, you've been crawling for 10 minutes. That is the overall goal. Okay. I like it.  But that's not the challenge. Okay, we've got Bear Crawl Challenges with things on your back. We've got a one mile Bear Crawl Challenge. He's got 150 views. And I'm not sure why, because the thumbnail is on point. Uh, let's have a look. Well, that might be why. Nah, I'm just joking, mate. Because this is going to see. I don't really have anyone filming for me today. I've been asking friends to come down and help me out. I don't think they're going to be able to. So I'm going to try and get as many good angles as I can. Just me filming. I was going to say, this is, I was going to say, I feel like this guy, when I go down to the field by myself, you know, no, no cameraman, just trying to do whatever you can. And to be, to be quite fair, guys, let me just get a still shot. That says a valbon. EF-51. And I'm just looking at my tripod. It looked exactly the same, but it's not. It's an M45. A tripod. So my hands are going to be cold. Those gloves aren't really going to help out much. Oh, no. Not a good start. Not a good start. So is that his local rugby club? That's interesting. Seeing as this video is titled, Rugby Player Reacts to the Bear Crawl Challenge. Okay. Wow, you know what? I've been frustrated countless amounts of times being down at the field, trying to run around and track myself with my phone using the GPS. And it always falls out of my pocket or it falls down my, you know, tights or, you know, I just, it just doesn't work. It's, it's uncomfortable, but I've never actually considered actually taping it to my body so that it's solid. That's a bloody good idea. Or I could just get a holder, of course, of some sort, but I've never, I've never done that. A mild Bear Crawl Challenge. Now, I just saw before that someone took 60 minutes to do that. I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to take some sort of break. So let's see. One mile, so that's 16 times up and down the rugby field. Was that his phone to film the workout? Is that what he's doing? Is he making it? Is he making a make, is he doing a makeshift GoPro? One length. A hundred meters? Okay. Okay, we've got 12. Let's have a listen. It almost feels like he's a point of view grasshopper. The rain's about to come again. One last length. Give us a time. My wrists are a bit... That's the thing, your wrists.  You want to stop? This is why I've done this today. I knew the weather wasn't going to be the best. But again, I'm doing these challenges. I'm showing you. Just push yourself. Just push yourself. And the time like finishes, I'll start at one o'clock. The time is... Two fifty five. Interesting. This guy... This guy is doing great things, you know? He doesn't care how many views he's got. This is exactly the attitude you need. He literally does not care. He just enjoys creating content and I can tell. And all I've got to say, mate, is just keep uploading. But what we've got is our first actual time to jot down. So one hour fifty five minutes. Right? We've got the bear crawl challenge one minute, which is up and down with the cones. And then we've probably got a bear crawl challenge of ten minutes. You know what I mean? Ten minutes to go as far as you can. So I guess we've got three different bear crawl challenges that we can attempt. But what I do want to say is just some more times here. Here we go. So this is the five minute bear crawl challenge. How many twenty yard bear crawls can you do in five minutes? Okay, the guy at the front is efficient.  That is not... That is not going to be easy. Right, how many did they get? The five minute... Hang on. Five minutes, twenty yards. How many times? Fourteen. Right guys, that looked like fun. And we're going to go for the ten minute fitness crawl challenge. I bet you can't do this workout, he says. His name is Pat Flynn. He's got 20,000 subscribers. Let's give him a listen. One thing I always like to do is, you know, for a video that's of decent quality, you want to see. You really want to see if they're continuing to upload. And it seems as if he's had three months off. Let's have a look. He's got petty. Exercises that you've ever tried. Crawling. So the ten minute crawl test comes from my friend Tim Anderson of Original Strength. And he describes it as daunting, but doable. Now what's great about crawling is it is accessible to everyone. You don't need to have a lot of technical proficiency to learn how to crawl. You just have to understand it. Crawling variations you can use for this challenge are, of course, the bear crawl. And the bear crawl is where you move opposite arm and leg to get the bear crawl. The bear crawl is where your butt is high in the air and your legs are close to locked but not completely locked. The second variation is the leopard crawl. And that's the same pattern, but now your knees are as close to the ground as you can make them and your butt is essentially in line with your shoulders. The third variation is the spider-man crawl, which is perhaps the most challenging variation. And your goal with this is to get your knees to the outside of your elbows with every step. I don't think I'd be able to do that for longer than 30 seconds. I understand some of the fundamentals of crawling. Let's get into the heart of the challenge, which is to crawl non-stop for 10 minutes. This is a serious challenge. Chances are you are not going to be able to do it. That's why it's an I bet you can't do this workout. Now let me just give you one tip. Don't crawl in the same direction the entire time. Go forwards, backwards, side to side. This is how you're going to get that little bit of breath that you need to make it through the entire time. Really? I would not have thought that. We have Alyssa and Len with me. And we are going to show you a few different crawling variations that you can use for this challenge. Ready? No. So what I want you to do is use the hashtag, I bet you can't do this workout. And let me know by posting on either Instagram, Facebook or YouTube if you completed the 10 minute crawl challenge. I'm Pat Flynn. This has been The Pat Flynn Show. And we will see you on the next episode. It's time to eat.  Right, one mile challenge. See what this guy gets. Originally completed. Christmas Eve 2012. Oh my God. That is going to suck. I don't know if it's worth it. Stay strong. Stay positive. Be the improvement warrior. 46.10. Shit, okay. So he's going a lot faster than the other guy. That's 100 meters down there. Imagine how you'd feel on the last one. Imagine that. Oh, how is that? Alright. I think we've seen enough. So there you go. That was Rugby Play Reacts to the Bear Crawl Challenge. And it seems as if these are the final numbers. Well, the final takeaways from this video, you could say. The Bear Crawl is done multiple ways. The Bear Crawl Challenge is done in multiple ways. There is a one minute all out challenge where you, you know, will make your way around a certain course in as many times as possible in one minute using the Bear Crawl. There is a five minute challenge or a 10 minute challenge where you can use a 20 meter or 20 yard distance and go up and down as many times as possible. Or you can use 10 yards. It's up to you. I guess you could call that 100 meter sprint, you know, a 1500 meter race. Now we're talking about the marathon. Okay, this is going to test you. And this is a one mile Bear Crawl, which is 1600 meters. We had one guy complete it in an hour and 55 minutes. We had another guy complete it in 62 minutes and 33 seconds. So from that, I would assume that going well, you'd want to get under an hour. And if you're going to go for the five minute or 10 minute MRAP, the only score that I actually jotted down was they did 14 laps of 20 yards in five minutes. And if my calculations are correct, that is 280 yards in five minutes. But I feel like the challenge I'm going to do first. Or maybe I should do all three. In fact, you know what, I'm going to have to think about that. But in the meantime, guys, enjoy whatever content is coming. I don't know exactly what video is going to come. Neither do you. No one knows what video is going to come on this channel because if you have a look at the front page, I've got playlist after playlist after playlist. And it's so awesome because when I do upload a video, it's definitely going to be associated with one or more of those playlists. So I upload the video, I take whatever playlist I want it to be included in, and then it's up to the viewer. You know what I mean? So playlists are definitely the way that I would recommend anyone out there to navigate their way through my channel. And with all that being said, I'll see you in the next one. Have a great day, guys, and peace out.


Hello friends, welcome to the session. I'm going to help you solve the problem. That is an army contingent of 616 numbers is to march behind an army van of 32 numbers in a parade The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can? March, so let's start with the solution as we all know that by Euclid's division C equal to DQ plus R from question we see that C equal to 616 and D equal to 32 as we all know that C should always be more than D now we'll apply the vision lemma 616 and 32 this gives us 616 divided by 32 We get 19 as a question and 8 as a reminder Here we see that R equal to 8. It is not equal to 0. This implies that we'll apply division lemma 32 8 we get When 32 is divided by 8 We get 4 as a question and 0 as a reminder Here we see that R equal to 0 this implies D equal to 8 is the Hcf of 616 and 32 columns in which the two groups can marches 8. Hope you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Goodbye and take care


using Audacity to edit audio. These days, audio editing software such as Audacity is available for free to users with any level of experience. But knowing where to begin can be tricky if you're not familiar with these types of editing tools. In this video, you'll learn the basics of how to record, edit, and export audio all while using Audacity. When you first open Audacity, you will see a big area with a timeline where your tracks will go. Then you will also see several tools in the top corner of your screen, some volume meters to help you visualize how loud your audio is, and some helpful volume sliders to increase and decrease your microphone or clip volume. Under this, there are four drop-down menus that you can use to control your sound input.  Now that you have your microphone and headphones plugged in and selected, it's time to begin recording your audio. To start, press the red record button, or R, on your keyboard. First, audio recording in Audacity. You will begin to see waveforms appearing on your timeline. Check the levels at the top of your screen and make sure that your voice is coming in between minus 12 and minus 6 decibels. Second, audio recording in Audacity. Press the pause button if you want to stop the recording, but later resume recording on the same track. Last, audio recording in Audacity. Use the stop button or space on your keyboard to end the recording.  It's really that simple. Now you can edit this recording, add tracks, or make any other changes you want. If you have background music you want to use or have recorded your podcast in a different program and you just want to use Audacity to edit the recording, you can bring all your clips into your timeline by clicking File, Import, and selecting your chosen clips, or just drag and drop the files into the Audacity timeline. Now that all your clips are in the Audacity timeline, it's time to begin the editing process. The selection tool is the first icon in the toolbar. It looks like a cursor. Arguably, this is the tool you'll be using the most. Click on this and you'll be able to do a couple actions. First, you can highlight certain segments of audio. Just click on the part of your clip you'd like to edit, then drag your cursor to select as much of the clip as you'd like. If it's hard to see your waveforms clearly, feel free to use the Zoom tool to make sure your selection is as precise as possible. When you have something selected, hitting Play will only play this selection. This way, you can listen to make sure you've captured everything. If you want to adjust your selection, hold Shift and click either inside or outside the selection to add or remove from it. The same thing can be achieved by hovering over the edge of your selection until your cursor changes to a pointer finger. Then just drag the edge. From there, you can delete this segment. This will automatically shift the rest of the clips into its place. You can also copy and paste or duplicate your selection. This works the same as a word processor. Select your chosen clip, then choose Edit, Copy, or use the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl or Command and C. Then you can paste what you've copied into a new track or a different place on your current track by clicking and choosing Edit, Paste, or Ctrl or Command V. To duplicate your selection, press Ctrl or Command D and your selection will appear in the same place in a brand new track. This can allow you to play around with the copy of your audio without worrying about messing up the original. The other command you can use if you want to paste your selection elsewhere is Cut. Cut is just like Copy, except it will also remove the audio you're copying from its original timeline. In Audacity, there are two kinds of cuts you can make. The first is the regular cut under the Edit menu, Ctrl or Command, X. When you use this, the audio will be cut, but the rest of the track will shift into its place, just like with Delete. The other kind of cut is called Split Cut, which is found under Edit, Remove Special. Unlike with the regular cut, a Split Cut will remove your selection, but leave a gap where it was and create two separate clips on either side of the gap. The clip you selected can now be pasted anywhere you'd like. Using the Split Cut feature is one way to turn a single track into two separate clips. Another way to do this is to use the Split function. Use the Selection tool to click wherever you want your track to be split. Then click Edit, Clip Boundaries, Split. Or you can use the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl or Command, I. The next important tool that you may find yourself using a lot is the Timeshift tool. In the Tool menu, this looks like a line with an arrow at each end. Click this icon, then click and drag any clip and you'll see you are able to move it along the timeline. You can also use the Timeshift tool to drag clips onto other tracks. Just drag them vertically instead of horizontally. The last way to split clips is called Split New. Find this action under Edit, Clip Boundaries, Split New. This feature lets you select and split audio onto its own new track. It is essentially the same as the duplicate feature we mentioned earlier. But instead of copying a selection onto a new track, it removes your selection from the original track and places it on a brand new one. Now that you've moved and edited all of your audio tracks around, it's time to talk about volume. The first thing we'll point out is the small toolbar located on the left-hand side of each of your audio tracks on your timeline. Here you can find two buttons that will help during the editing process. Mute and Solo. Pressing Mute will mute only the tracks you've clicked on and Solo will mute every other track except for the ones you've clicked on. You can tell easily which tracks are muted because they will be grayed out. There are also two sliding bars. The bottom slider controls the stereo settings. You can use it if you want one track to only be played out of the left or right headphone or speaker. The top slider controls the volume of the specific track. So if you want to raise or lower the volume of just one track, you can slide this towards the minus or plus sign. Another more professional and customizable way to control the volume of a specific track is to use the envelope tool. This option is in the main tool menu. It looks like a line with two arrows pointing towards it from the top and bottom. Using the envelope tool can automate the volume levels to get quieter or louder depending on if there is someone talking over it. This is often used for background music. Or if you have two people speaking and one person is a bit too quiet in some sections, you could use the envelope tool to bring up their volume in specific places. To get started, select the envelope tool. You'll see that this place is gray horizontal shading across all of the track, as well as a blue line along the top and bottom of the track. To manipulate the volume levels of the track, you'll place control points along these blue lines and drag them up or down. Let's test this out. First, we'll find a section of audio we want to be louder and put a control point at the beginning and end. This establishes the section boundaries. Next, we'll add two more control points within the selection. These control points will control volume. The closer the secondary points are to the boundary points, the quicker the volume changes will happen. To remove a control point, just drag them all the way out of the track. If you want to fade a track in or out entirely, you'll have to head into the effects menu, as the envelope tool can never get a clipped volume all the way to zero. When you click the effects menu, you'll see that Audacity has no shortage of effects and filters that you can apply to your projects. Scroll down until you see fade in, which brings the volume up from nothing, or fade out, which takes the volume down to nothing. Just select the portion of the track that you want to fade and choose your fade from the effects menu. Another effect that comes in handy is Amplify. This can be used if you're editing an interview and find that some portions of a track are quieter than others. Select the portion of audio you like to be louder and click Effect, Amplify. A pop-up will appear and all you'll have to do is figure out how many decibels you want to increase or even decrease within the selected audio. This is something you'll probably have to play around with until you get something that sounds the way you want. You'll easily be able to tell if it's along the right lines by looking at the height of the waveforms. If the amplified selection matches the rest of your track, chances are it will sound natural. Another effect that comes in handy is Noise Reduction. This will help to remove or at least reduce any unwanted background noises. With Audacity, you can create something called the Noise Profile, which will isolate the background noise or room tone, such as street sounds, wind, or an air conditioning hum. Then it uses that profile to remove the tone from your recording. To capture the noise profile, you'll need a few seconds of the background noise on its own, without the speaker's voice on top of it. To make sure you get an accurate noise profile, it is recommended to capture 10 to 20 seconds of room tone, meaning you should record just the environment that you're in without any talking, just in case you need to remove it later. Recording with Air Conditioning Hum Using the Select tool, highlight your background noise, making sure not to get any dialogue in the selection. Go to the Effects menu and choose Noise Reduction. A pop-up will appear with two steps to complete. The first step is to get the noise profile, which is what you should have selected. So, click Get Noise Profile button. This will close the pop-up, but now Audacity has created a noise profile for this track. Now you will select the portion of your clip you want to remove the noise from. In this case, all of it. Click Noise Reduction in the Effects menu again. This time we will use Step 2, where we can decide how much to reduce the noise. There are three sliders here. The Noise Reduction slider is like a volume slider. The more you slide to the right, the more of the noise you will remove. Be careful not to go overboard here, as cutting out too much of the background noise can make your audio sound weird. The Sensitivity slider helps this by letting you control how much of the audio Audacity will consider to be noise. Moving the slider to the right will treat more of the audio as noise, which will then be removed by the Noise Reduction slider. But unless your recording is very noisy, it will not be at all. The last slider is the Frequency Smoothing slider, which is used to blend frequencies together. Dragging the slider to the right will help if you have a lot of different background noises, such as wind, which can have both higher and lower frequencies. If the noise you want to get rid of is more of a single frequency, like an electrical hum, then you can keep the slider more to the left. At the bottom of the pop-up menu, you can choose whether to reduce, which will remove the noise, choosing Residue can help you hear exactly what the effect is determining as noise to better help you adjust your settings. You can click the Preview button in the bottom left to hear effects your settings are having. You might need to play around with these settings for a bit to learn exactly how they affect your recordings. When you're happy, click OK, and you'll immediately be able to see that the waveforms have flattened and therefore the excess noise has been removed. Recording with Air-Conditioning Hum. Once you have played around with Audacity's effects and features, hopefully you have an audio recording that you are proud of. The last step in the process is to export your project. As you've been working, whenever you save your project, it is saved as an Audacity file. This will keep track of all the changes you've made in the editing process. When you export, you'll need to convert it to a different file format. To do this, choose File, Export, Export Audio. Here you can name your file and choose where to save it. Here you can name a file format to choose from. The most common formats are MP3 and Wave. The differences here are that MP3 files are compressed, which reduces the file size, making them easy to attach to an email or submit for a project, while still maintaining a decent audio quality. Wavefiles are uncompressed, which produces much better audio quality and subsequently a much larger file size. Once you've chosen your file type, click OK. You might be then prompted to add some metadata to the file, including artist name, track titles, and more. These are used more for music recording, so you can choose to fill them in or keep them blank. Of course, there are hundreds of things you can do with Audacity, and only a few basic tools can be covered in this video. Once you're comfortable with creating simple, professional audio recordings in Audacity, there are plenty of resources available online to deal with even the most specific problem. Logging in with your college's credentials, you can check out LinkedIn Learning for some great tutorials, and more about telling stories using audio recordings or podcasts on the Learning Portal's Digital Storytelling module.


.  because there is no way primary election will not leave more people agreeing. We have only 39 positions, you know, struggle for by over 100 people and if 39 eventually became the candidate of the party it means that more than that population will not have the ambition of their life. Trust me, there is a lot of people there is a lot of people forming up there is going to be a lot of changes because if you can see a lot of candidates coming up there is going to be a lot of changes because personally I know a lot of people that contested under PDP even APC to be honest with you I want everybody to be hopeful we don't have any other country to go to we are just going to try our best we will continue to point out to the people that they have already destroyed the educational system they have turned us into states lacking a healthcare system except to go on the major roads our transit roads don't exist anymore the government is totally lacking of empathy the ideological base is gone where do we go from here the state is totally devoid of direction you must bring the private sector into this the presidential candidates of the social democratic party for the forthcoming 2023 general elections the chairman of the SDP electoral committee the flag bearer of the party after polling 1,526 votes out of 1,710 accredited delegates as the SDP national convention presidential primary is held at the international conference centre in Abuja Adebayo well given his acceptance which said there is a margin to exemplify social justice in Nigeria stating that Nigerians will enjoy the full dividends of democracy if voted in as the next president your money is in the pockets of APC and PDP your money is not in China your money is not in the central bank your money is in their pockets we will come out and show to the Nigerian people that food, water, light, housing, education, medical care they are not prayer points they are your rights no one is allowed to call himself president of hungry people no one is allowed to call himself a commander in chief or people who are running from bandits nobody can call himself a senator, a governor over people whose children are at home without education so what do you do about Nigeria?
