A possible voice over platform

Since I will be the one adding my voice into the background of the film opening, I must research various applications to find the perfect one to cater what I am looking for. 

Ethan and I both agreed that we do not want to use the iPhones' recording application titled "Voice Memos" because the quality is not adequate enough for a film opening. We tested it by using headphones as I said a couple sentences, but the rustling noise was distracting and my voice was not able to be heard clearly. We then tried without the headphones, thinking that the rustling noise would stop, but that was not the problem. Still, we were not happy with the quality of the platform.

After the couple of trials, we were unhappy with the iPhone so I started researching different applications we could utilize for our project.

I heard a student in another Media Studies class talking about "NCH Software."

Since I am super curious about this, I immediately looked up NCH online to see how the application works. First of all, it is completely free, that is a plus! Also, the first thing I read was that it is compatible with Mac Book laptops which is exactly what I need. 

NCH, also known as WavePad Audio Editing Software, allows users to:

• "Sound editing tools include cut, copy, paste, delete, insert, silence, auto-trim, compression, pitch shifting and more
• Audio effects include amplify, normalize, equalizer, envelope, reverb, echo, reverse and many more
• Supports almost all audio and music file formats including mp3, wav, vox, gsm, wma, au, aif, flac, real audio, ogg, aac, m4a, mid, amr, and many more
• Batch processing allows you to apply effects and/or convert thousands of files as a single function
• Scrub, search and bookmark audio for precise editing
• Create bookmarks and regions to easily find, recall and assemble segments of long audio files
• Advanced tools include spectral analysis (FFT), speech synthesis (text-to-speech), and voice changer
• Audio restoration features including noise reduction and click pop removal
• Supports sample rates from 6 to 192kHz, stereo or mono, 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits
• Edit the audio from your video files
• Works directly with MixPad Multi-Track Audio Mixer
• Easy to use interface will have you utilizing non-destructive audio editing in minutes"

This is definitely way more efficient than the iPhone's "Voice Memos" platform.
