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 [[Mumble]] version 1.2.3'''
'''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 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.

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 software such as [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity], its a free, multi-platform and easy to use program and in the following sections we'll demonstrate its use. You can always use other software if you prefer to do so.
