I decided to redo my original audio tutorial, but record it instead of write it. I decided to do it unscripted and unrehearsed. Therefore, there are areas I stammer and there are no retakes. This tutorial was broken into parts 1 and 2 because Soundclick won't allow the upload of such a large file. Also, I made this tutorial merely as suggestions for improving your quality based on how I edit/mix my vocals. It is for audio heads who use Cool Edit.
Go to:

Click on Audio Tutorial part 1 and/or Audio Tutorial part 2
Part 1 is approx. 8 minutes long
Part 2 is approx. 9 minutes long
Part 1 deals with settings in cool edit, as well as noise redux
Part 2 deals with mixing techniques, EQ levels, and sound effects
I'm technically southern, so my accent may throw some of you off. I also talk quickly. So, if needed, feel free to rewind any part and listen again.
Merry Christmas!
