Well, as someone who learnt to edit audio with chinagraphs and razor blades this is a brilliant run through of how to use Audacity. I was utterly baffled trying to go through the manual on my own, and you have made it come alive and appear so simple. Thank you, and I leave with a flourish to go to the editing machine!

[@SparkTheGenius]

I recorded for a few seconds. How do I start recording again at the beginning or in the middle, to replace a part? Every time I press record, it only starts recording at the end of where I've already recorded. I'm used to using GarageBand, and it was easy with that. I have to use Audacity now because a voiceover client needs higher resolution.

[@PerEng2405]

Audacity demystified in minutes. Excellent and appreciated. I'm baby-steps into content creation prioritizing the audio part (recorder/Mixpre, microphones et al) i.e. topics like working with time-sync'ed audio/video sequences, how to export audio and use with the recorded video sequences (ProRes) are not something I have seen much about in any hands-on video. Just a suggestion .. 🙂

Hi Mike, just downloaded your presets for audacity and they are amazing, thank you so much. I am recording on an ASUS Vivibook with a BOYA M1-PRO lav, for some reason I get clicking sounds during the audio recording (not mouth clicks). Clicks that will pop up during the recording whether I record in Audacity, Hindenberg or Audition. It can't be removed with any of the de-clicker plugins and very hard to remove at the end of every word or mid word. Any idea what I could do differently? Thank you 🙏

Hello Mike, just watched your Audacity Tutorial For Beginners and found it very informative. I've use Audacity mainly for recording DJ mixes, my livestreaming shows and audio file conversions. Just VERY basic use but I really would like to know about editing my mixes and correcting mistakes. Do you have a video specific to this subject?

This was PHENOMENAL. One small request (and maybe since this is two years old, you're already doing it), but could you make your cursor larger or as a laser pen? While your descriptions of what to click on were great, I had a hard time finding your cursor to know where on the screen/what icons to click on.

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely make sure to increase the size of my cursor or utilize a laser pen in future tutorials to make it easier for viewers to follow along visually.

[@veseloiu]

Thank you for an excellent introduction. I already feel far more confident. I note, however, that on my instalation I do not appear to have all the tools and effects that you appear to have on yours (I din't see the envelope tool you uses and under effects only have about twelve as opposed to the huge lot of them in your audacity . Are these addidional, non built-in tools and effects that you installed extra? And if so, is this addressed in adifferent module? In which case would you, please point me towards the module(s) dealing with this aspect) thanks

[@musicalmoments]

This interface looks different than the 3.2 version. Is ther a tutorial for that?

[@WhosGonnaStopMe]

When I record in stereo, only the top of the track records while the lower half records nothing. How do I fix that?

[@MikeRussell]

That’s down to your audio input. You need to ensure both left and right and recording the same input from your interface which is outputting a mono signal.

[@dinogoldie9716]

Is there a keystroke in audacity which automatically selects the previous/next beat in a piece of audio? In ye olde Audition, it was { and } respectively. What's the Audacity version of those keystrokes?

[@MikeRussell]

Not a beat, as far as I know, Audacity can't detect beats. ALT + LEFT or RIGHT will move the cursor to the next labeled area but I don't think this will help with beats.

As long as you're recording at a decent level you can always boost it in post-processing later on

[@irenerubio8199]

Hi Mike, I have seen the beginning of this video. This is a great video. However, I can not see my voice level in the level meters so I don't see waves when I record. I don't know what I have done wrong. When I record, the only one that is working is my time line, I don't see the waves whether my voice is loud or low or if I'm too far from the mike or too close. Please help me as I am trying to record voice over demos for my voice over acting.

Hi Mike I'm trying out Audacity with my Rodecaster Pro 2 that I setup in a room just to do some productions but after setting it up I keep getting a echo when I'm talking , even when I change the settings that are available in the Preferences I keep getting the echo. I'm using a Windows PC and latest Audacity. I really like to give this program a shot, it looks pretty cool and I like to get your settings that you offer if I'm able to get this working. Could you do a video please, I wasn't able to find anyone on youtube with a video with help on this. Thank you so much .. Fan of your work!

Great video. Does Normalize do the same thing as Compressor?

[@MikeRussell]

Normalise is very different to compression. Normalise just sets the peak of the audio to be the target level but does not alter the dynamic range of the audio

Hi I have recorded video in car with music, how can I just delete music from audio and keep car sound end other ? Thank you

[@MikeRussell]

That would be tough to do.

[@SparkTheGenius]

But how do you cut out a small clip and re-record that section, or move parts around? If I try to record from the beginning, it won't let me. It just starts recording at the end of what I've already done. I've always used GarageBand but a new client needs better audio quality, so I'm trying to figure out Audacity.

[@MikeRussell]

To replace a section first select the portion you want to replace, hit "Delete" to remove it, then position the cursor where you'd like to start recording, and hit the "Record" button. To move parts around, use the "Time Shift Tool" to drag clips to your desired location. Transitioning from GarageBand might take a little getting used to but Audacity is a powerful tool once you get the hang of it!

[@robbiefoxohyes]

Is the focusrite USB audio interface strictly necessary? I'm currently using a Blue Yeti mic with USB connection that goes straight into my laptop, with the unfortunate side effect of not allowing audio playback without disconnecting it.

[@MikeRussell]

The XLR mic isn't essential but you can get better quality microphones if you go down that route as your needs change

[@simplyschmidt9925]

When I load in the MME drop down thing isn't showing and I can't fix it, do you know how to show it?

You can try reinstalling Audacity or checking your device's audio input settings to ensure MME is selected as the default audio host to make the dropdown appear.

Very enlightening. I wonder if you could answer the following question: If I record a tune I composed, is it possible to hear it not me singing but performed by some musical instrument ? Electronic sound or any computer sound ? Thanks for your uploads.

I have watched three tutorials on Audacity now and I find the platform nearly impossible. How do I slice my audio clips so that I can record a number of takes and choose just the pieces I want to make a whole song? I see no razor tool or anything of the kind. And how on earth do I get the scrubber to stay in place when I stop it? It jumps to hell and gone every time I stop and I can't figure out how to control it. How come the little hand grabber shows up some times and sometimes not and why does the envelope tool not work half the time? This program is the WORST.

[@MikeRussell]

Hi there, I'm glad you're finding the tutorial helpful! The 'project' function bar may not be visible if your Audacity window is not maximized or if it is hidden under other toolbars - try checking your layout settings or resetting the workspace to see if that helps.

[@CuzOfSteve]

What if you have 2 microphones like for a podcast can you select which track has each mic?

[@MikeRussell]

Yes, in Audacity, you can select which track corresponds to each microphone input by configuring your recording preferences in the software settings.

[@permculture]

With multiple tracks within a project is it possible to have one track continuously looping without looping the second track concurrently? An example would be a looping ambient drone on one track to be looped and music on a separate track not to be looped.

[@MikeRussell]

Yes, this is possible

[@LanaClarkLC]

Is there a way to manually type in the minute and second so you can copy a section?

[@MikeRussell]

Absolutely, Audacity allows you to manually enter the exact timestamp for a selection, making it easy to copy specific sections of your audio.
