Other than a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/johnjohnston\/sounds-from-monday-evening\">daily<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/troutcolor\/8978200116\/\">creates<\/a>, I just kept up by listening to the lodown. This is sterling stuff, great fun, audio tips and ScottLo&#8217;s special sauce.<\/p>\n<p>I was hoping to do some of the audio stuff this time round the ds106 but timeing was out. I might try and run a couple of ds106 bits of audio or go over some audio assignments. I do a fair bit of <a href=\"http:\/\/edutalk.info\">audio week to week<\/a>, but not in the same zone as DS106. Last time round at <a href=\"http:\/\/magicmacguffin.info\/\">Camp Magic MacGuffin<\/a> I really enjoyed <a href=\"http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/106\/impending-zombie-apocalypse\/\">working on the group audio task <\/a>which I didn&#8217;t expect given its subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>I made the recording on GarageBand on my phone. Very straightforward. I&#8217;ve not used GarageBand much on iOs although I&#8217;ve used it a fair bit for podcasting on a mac and in very basic music making with pupils using the loops. One of the nice things about GB is that you can upload straight to Soundcloud. A disadvantage is the lack of MP3 export which is better for creating podcast episodes for maximum compatibility (pace firefox on the mac). This is a problem common to quite a few audio editors on iOs only a few export to mp3. I&#8217;ve tended to use audioboo for on the fly podcasting, some of the good things about audioboo include support mp3s, RSS and an API.<\/p>\n<h3>An extra audio tip<\/h3>\n<p>As my minds starts t owander as I type this post I remember an extra tip about audioboo.<br \/>\nOne of the problems on embeding a boo into a blog to<br \/>\nlike this:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-player\" data-boourl=\"http:\/\/audioboo.fm\/boos\/1190812-the-real-david-cameron-on-neo-liberalism-and-education\/embed\"><a href=\"http:\/\/audioboo.fm\/boos\/1190812-the-real-david-cameron-on-neo-liberalism-and-education\">listen to &#x2018;The Real David Cameron on Neo-Liberalism and Education&#x2019; on Audioboo<\/a><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">(function() { var po = document.createElement(\"script\"); po.type = \"text\/javascript\"; po.async = true; po.src = \"http:\/\/d15mj6e6qmt1na.cloudfront.net\/assets\/embed.js\"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s); })();<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Is that the mp3 does not get added as an enclose to your blog so cannot be listened to on a podcatcher on, say, a mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>to do this you need to take an extra step.<br \/>\nFirst get the url of the audioboo page:<br \/>\n<em>http:\/\/audioboo.fm\/boos\/1190812-the-real-david-cameron-on-neo-liberalism-and-education<\/em><br \/>\nand add a .mp3 extension to it:<br \/>\n<em>http:\/\/audioboo.fm\/boos\/1190812-the-real-david-cameron-on-neo-liberalism-and-education.mp3<\/em><br \/>\nclick on  the add Media button in your wordpress editor (only wp afaik)<\/p>\n<p>There click on the <strong>insert from url<\/strong> link and paste in the url of the mp3. insert that into the post: <a href=\"http:\/\/audioboo.fm\/boos\/1190812-the-real-david-cameron-on-neo-liberalism-and-education.mp3\">audio link added via add media<\/a><br \/>\n and wordpress will create an enclosure.
