As you know, the [[EVE University Class Library]] is an invaluable knowledge base for new [[Capsuleer|capsuleers]]. This guide will illustrate, step-by-step, how to record, encode, edit and upload your class recordings. We encourage [[unista|unistas]] to record classes they attend.

'''In order to be able to record a class on mumble, you must be using at least [[Mumble]] version 1.2.3'''


Recording a Class is simple enough; Once you join the '''Class.E-UNI''' channel on teamspeak, simply click the '''Recording''' menu on your teamspeak and select '''Start Recording'''.
Recording a Class is simple enough; Once you join the class sub-channel under '''Class.E-UNI''' on Mumble, click the red button on your menu, select Mode: '''downmix''', select your output format (for the purposes of this guide, it is assumed you're using .wav format.) When you're all set, hit '''Start'''. Please be informed that you can not join the channel '''Class.E-UNI''' directly, but you must join the sub-channel with the name of the class.

You will be prompted to select the directory and enter the name of the file (if you often record classes, you might want to include some details like class date and name to prevent confusion)
* Congratulations, barring the ever-present possibility of connection problems, you should now be successfully recording a class.

* unlike teamspeak, when using Mumble sound notifications will not be recorded even if you leave them on during the class. (tested in rc2)


Congratulations, barring the ever-present possibility of connection problems, you should now be successfully recording a class.

==Editing & Encoding==
==Editing & Encoding==


After you record the lecture, you might need to edit it: the class might have started late and you want to remove the first 2 mins or maybe you forgot to stop the recording and you recorded 30mins of silence. Whatever the reason, if you need to edit the file, you can use a freeware software such as [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity], its a free, multi-platform and easy to use software and in the following sections we'll demonstrate its use. You can always use other software if you prefer to do so.
