Hindenburg Lite Quick Start
You're ready to get started. You've decided on Hindenburg Lite and it's installed. But now what?
You want to get your podcast recorded, edited, and published. And you want it to sound great.
Where do you start?
Skip the hours of poking through menus and YouTube video searches. You can get started right now - and it's easier than you might think.
In this course, we'll get you up and running so you can record, edit, and publish your solo podcast episode with Hindenburg LIte (not Pro). We'll help you understand how the software works, dial in your ideal settings, capture a great recording, edit, and more.
You'll go from brand new to published in just a few short steps - without a bunch of "fluff" that you don't need.
Note: This course will cover the features of Hindenburg Lite but does not cover any Hindenburg Pro-only features.
About the Course
Whether you're brand new to audio editing or you have experience with Hindenburg or other editing software, this course is designed to help you get what you need as quickly as possible.
For the New Editor
You won't have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to do things and wondering whether you have your settings right. You won't even have to wonder in what order you should do things.
Right at the beginning of the full Hindenburg course, I have a module designed to get you up and running quickly. You'll find four video lessons that walk you through the process of recording, editing, and publishing in a few step-by-step videos. You'll find a downloadable script template if you'd like to practice while you go or you can follow along as you record your own show.
The videos are generally less than 30 minutes each and show you exactly what you need to know - in order - to get up and running.
For the Experienced Editor (or for Reference)
After the initial module designed to get you up and running quickly, you'll find several more modules of shorter, single-topic videos. These are laid out so that you can use them as a reference to quickly review how to perform a single kind of action.
They're incredibly valuable for new editors who want to take their understanding a little deeper or brush up on something without having to go through an entire walk-through video for the two minutes that actually matter.
For the experienced editor who is new to Hindenburg, these videos are perfect to answer the "Now, how do I do ____?" questions that invariably pop up. Even though you have a workflow that is greater for you and know what you're doing, this will help shorten the learning curve on how to bring that workflow to Hindenburg.
You might find these useful to help you find where things are found in the menus, as well as some of the quick tips to use Hindenburg more efficiently.
Did I mention bonus videos?
Yes, I even have bonus videos in the course to help take things even further.
I should mention that this course is an ongoing interest of mine. I'm still in the process of recording bonus videos and will continue to update this course based on software changes as well as feedback from students like you.
It's my goal to make this the absolute BEST course to get people up and running in Hindenburg Lite as possible.
