Then make another mark at the end of the intro. Click on the upper edge of the music track’s waveform at the point where you want the fade to begin. Select the Envelope tool (it looks like a blue line with arrows) from the toolbar in the upper lefthand corner. Next you’ll want to drop the volume level at the end of the music track so it fades softly as it overlaps with the beginning of your voice track. To create a fade, highlight the first couple of second of your intro music and choose Effect: Fade In.

The top track should contain your podcast narration, while the bottom track contains your intro music. Start with both tracks open in Audacity and trimmed down to their relevant parts. Overlap Tracks : To give your podcast it’s own identity, add a musical intro that fades out just as your narration begins. (You can use this technique to add sound anywhere in your podcast-don’t feel constrained by convention.) For example, here’s how to create a musical intro that fades in, plays for a few seconds, and then fades out again as the voice narration begins. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.To add some interest to your podcast, and help give it its own identity, consider adding intro music. Have any other podcasters experienced this problem? Or does the Audacity tech staff know what I could do to rectify this? Any help is much appreciated. I listened in through my twitter link, and it stopped about 6 times, without looping, and I had to restart twitter each time and click the link to get to my blog to hit the play button each time. In fact, today, when I tested it, it was worse. I had thought that my files are too large, (approx 20 mb) but when I record voice only, they are only 15 mb, and the problem still occurs. Once this begins, it continues to play for that amount of time, looping back continually, never playing more than the amount of minutes from when it first looped. Others have this experience: the podcast plays anywhere from 2 to eight minutes, and then it stops and begins to play the podcast from the very beginning. The one listener who uses the iphone 6 cannot get the podcast to play at all, even when they empty their cache beforehand. What happens is we will listen from our devices, iphone 5s, iphone 6, and someone else uses something like an ipad, only it’s not the Apple brand. My listeners tune in via links from Facbook, twitter, itunes and my blog site, and this problem is encountered by me, and some listeners. I create my podcasts using Audacity, I export them to mp3, then load them up to my wordpress blog. I use Windows, although this problem may not have anything to do with windows at all, but I am asking to find out if there is anything I could try to improve this problem.
