Radio Tools FAQ

"Audio documentary is a specialized medium. With it comes its own set of little details that can make the difference between a great radio piece -- and a trying exercise in figuring out which cable to use."

To aid in this effort, the Transom.org 'Tools' Editor Jeff Towne has gone through their online discussion boards and pulled together a new FAQ (Frequenty Asked Questions), answering the questions which come up persistently, including:

• "How Do I Get Sound Recordings Into My Computer?
• ProTools Says My Hard Drive Is Too Fragmented, What Do I Do?
• Why Can't I Output Digital Audio From My Consumer Minidisc?
• Why Isn't Everything, you know, Working Properly?
• and the ever-popular.... What Microphone Should I Buy?"

The 'Tools' section also includes a gear guide, an online discussion board and a list of related audio links and resources.

Transom.org is an experiment in channeling new work and voices to public radio through the Internet.
