What is the best way to go about recording custom greetings?
*This may sound sad, but I am trying to wish as many of my friends a happy new year, but do not want to spend all the time in the world calling each of them.
How would you suggest I go about this project?
My thoughts were as follows:
Record Individual Names
- I was thinking about trying to space it out so I can programatically, cut the audio so that I could trim it to sound natural, meaning I would continuously record :
- " Happy New year Jim ...... Happy new year you crazy animal, ........ happy new year Bob, this is your year!!.........."
- I was thinking about trying to space it out so I can programatically, cut the audio so that I could trim it to sound natural, meaning I would continuously record :
Or is it better to try and record each persons name one by one and then have a few pre-recorded audio files and then stitch them together ( loop through them)?
The only issue I see here is how do I make it smooth so that it does not sound like it is chopped up
Any suggestions on how to automate some of this, because I know audio editing can be incredibly time consuming. ( Do not get me wrong, I am willing to put the time in)
- I am currently running Linux, but have the ability to get to a Macintosh or Windows Machine.
- I have a Blue Snowball microphone ( Blue Snowball iCE Condenser Microphone, Cardioid - Black)
