Grass Valley Aurora Edit v.7.0 - Manual (Page 154)

Adding audio narration
With Aurora Edit, you can record and insert narration in your sequences by recording
directly to the Timeline.
Before you can record a narration, you need to create a microphone source in Aurora
Edit. For instructions on creating a microphone source, see the Aurora Edit Installation
and Configuration Guide.
If you’ve enabled Loop Tones, a tone will sound at the end of each microphone
recording. When the loop tones are done playing, the record starts again automatically.
You can use loop tones for voiceovers directly to the Timeline in case you make a
mistake and need to re-record.
1. Open the sequence where you want to add the narration.
2. Select the Source Tool by pressing 2 on your keyboard or clicking the Source
Tool button in the Timeline Toolbar.
3. If necessary, adjust the input levels to prevent overload at the input stage of the
source microphone.
4. Mark an In and Out point in your sequence where you want the voiceover to record.
5. If you want to continually record over the same point until you are satisfied with
the performance, click the Loop Record button to enable it.
6. If you want the system to display the remaining duration of the record, press the
Record Countdown button.
7. To start recording, press F12 on your keyboard or click the Start Recording
button.
8. To stop recording, press the spacebar on your keyboard or click the Stop
Recording button.

About audio effects
Aurora Edit lets you create audio effects in your sequence by adjusting the audio EQ
in a clip, adjusting or disguising a voice.
You can adjust the Playback EQ of a clip that has already been recorded or the input
EQ of a live source. You can also disguise a voice to go along with a blur or mosaic
video effect, which disguises the face of an individual.
You use the Audio Effects Tool in Aurora Edit to create these effects.
