| Yes and no For Cybershow [0] we love to use AI images, from a variety of
generators, because it's nice to have quick, catchy iconic pictures
that help listeners remember/search the episodes visually. Also most of the main cast channels now do great transcription, and
our audio is clear, so that's one more job that's automatically done
for us these days by "AI". In the production and audio domain there's very little that "AI" can
do better than an experienced writer and editor, imho as a half-decent
writer/editor :). A lot of editing is moment by moment decision making that just
requires a good ear. "AI" can't tell me if something a guest says is
ambiguous, or sounds a bit poorly evidenced etc. Maybe one tool I'd maybe use if it existed is a "fluff remover" for
"ummmm, like, well... y'know, ummmmm, literally... like...." But I wouldn't trust it not to butcher the audio and leave things in
an irrecoverable (no undo path) state that only gets spotted in the
mastering stage. Otherwise, many "intelligent" plugins already have built in clever DSP
features these days, for things like noise reduction, silence removal,
level matching. Scripting things is the key... and Audacity is a dream for this! For planning/organisation I use emacs org-mode which is fine for
capturing notes, linking resources and pulling it all together into a
script or talking-points list for recording. For an amateur show we don't need much more quality than this. [0] https://cybershow.uk/ |
