“Before participating in the online training course organized by National Institute of Mass Communication (NIMC), I did not have any idea, even could not imagine that editing and recording of radio programs could be done so smoothly by using different software. We use “Qbase-5” software earlier for this job. The software is no doubt an advance one but the operating system is so critical! Now we can do the same job within a short time and very smoothly with the prescribed software “Adobe Audition 3.0” shared by NIMC.

We have learned the techniques to develop radio programs accessible for uploading in Face Book and YouTube and can send the same radio programs through email with the same resolution.” Mst.
