I've been playing with screenr (THANKS ARTICULATE!) and a conversion program for use with Windows Movie Maker, and think I could assemble some quick tutorials on editing audio. As everyone seems to use a different editing program (I use Adobe Audition 1.0, for example) these should probably be of a general nature, but if you'd like some tips, and I can provide them, I'd be happy to do so.
Are there areas of audio editing you'd like some help with? If so, I'll see what I can do for you.
OK - "Things You Can Do To Take Off the Rough Edges", (so things like Noise Reduction, Dynamic Range Compression) etc. - for those who cannot necessarily get to/use a professional studio, and may just have a mic, and limited echo-reduction.
I've learned to love Adobe Soundbooth. Sony (SonicFoundry) SoundForge was my tool of choice before based on the convenient region slicing. Tools like Soundbooth and Garageband offer what I call Newb presets for folks like me that can't be bothered to fiddle with the settings until it sounds good to me (especially since I don't necessarily have an ear for "great sound").
I can cut stuff up and organize like a bad man. But I like to leave the nuances of audio engineering quality to the pro's. There used to be a really good article up on garagegames.com that followed a game audio producer's process -- how he filtered, eq'd, compressed, and warmed up a voice actor for a game. It was a pretty cool article, he provided his settings and the results were pretty reliable. I can't find it at the moment but will return if I can find it in the wayback machine.

Andy - that would be great!
