Today we will finish our podcast presentations, hearing from

• Gena, Natalia, Juia, and Jurnee on Mental Health
• Gabby, Shawn, Tyler, Dominique, and Katie on Plastic

Once we are finished, we will check on our timing. If time permits, we will go over the steps involved in cleaning up the audio files. I will also go over the submission of these files. If necessary, we will use some class time on Monday to complete these steps:

• An initial amplification to increase volume
• By-hand amplification/reduction to smooth out volume levels
• Replacement and fading of any audio samples
• A final Normalization of Audio
• A noise removal filter
• Exporting the edited recording as a wav file
• Uploading the final product to our class web site

For homework, complete your Reflection and Report. Submit the report before class on Monday using our Science Podcast Research Reflection posting.
