Amazing video! This is actually the 5th or 6th tutorial video for Audacity that I've watched. This one, along with 1 other are my favorites. However, even the other one that I liked didn't cover a couple of the things that you did but you covered everything that he did. So, that makes this video the absolute best Audacity tutorial that I've seen. And I absolutely love your voice, accent, tone and delivery. It's very relaxing and calming and it just put me at ease and made me comfortable from the very start. I don't know why I get so nervous doing tutorial videos. You would think I was taking a final exam or something. Lol. Also, your pacing and attention to detail was the best that I've seen. It's seems like some of these guys forget that they are actually doing a tutorial and just do stuff without fully explaining how they got there and before you know it, you're two steps behind trying to figure out how to get where they are. I can't stand when people who are doing tutorials do that. But you didn't. Thank you.

In this video you will learn how to Use audacity to help your voice sound great after editing. This is a step by step beginners tutorial which goes straight to the point and is easy to understand.

[@sassnclass2054]

thank you SO much! I've just gotten my 1st audio book narration and still don't know how to remove breaths! Advice? It's a longer recording so doing these clean-ups will be tedious. Longer narration edits as one records would be GREAT! THANK YOU! You've really saved the day!

[@daleanderson1727]

Good starting point for a new user like me. Much thanks for keeping it straightforward and simple.

This was a very ear opening tutorial for me. I found the bits about lip smacks and plosives to be of particular interest.

[@greenrw22]

Very nicely done! Very helpful! The pace was just right for me.

[@TheeSlickShady_Dave_K]

Instant like and sub! 🏆 excellent video Ty

[@johndavenport7073]

Well done. I like your tips for removing plosives. Two comments...if plosives are a problem when you record, try putting on some chap stick...I know it sounds weird but it lubricates your lips to help plus you can slightly turn your head left or off axis when you record and say those plosives words. On usb mics....look also at audio technica at-2020 usb. Great USB mic and it is also affordable. It has a great sound. Great video. Now using audacity on m1 MacBook!

[@TemsNokdir97]

Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial. A new subscriber here.

[@aeusarcilla5377]

Love your video. Very clear instruction and explanation. Thank you! Will subscribe. :)

[@johnp1]

Good tutorial. This saves me a lot of time going through the online help which is a bit confusing to me.

[@dorothytutorials]

That is why i have created this one. Cause most tutorials are super long or not so clear.

[@spadog63]

That was very helpful, thankyou

[@rayhclee]

This is excellent. Thanks a lot. Great tutorial. Keep it going. Cheers

[@thuhienk6]

thank you for your video. It is very helpful. I like the way you go through each step. I am new with Audacity and I learned several things from your video.

[@srvlog88]

I like your teaching it's step by step and easy to understand... thanks 😊

[@boatingexplainedwithcapndr8359]

Very helpful! Big thumbs up. Thank you!

[@tvtruss]

Very intuitive, thanks

[@idolgin776]

Thank you for this tutorial. It helped a lot!

[@BadBoyBoggier]

Thank you so much, very easy and informative! Question: Why is is that you record mono and then transfer to stereo? What is the advantage vs. recording in stereo or just sending the track as is in mono?

[@dorothytutorials]

i explain that in the video. So that the sound comes out evenly not just one sided.

[@s.s.9149]

Thank u for these new tutorial

[@dorothytutorials]

My pleasure 😊

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Great full ideas and good

[@godluved]

Although I hope not, I may have a need that is impossible even with the brilliant Audacity magic wand. Suggestions? I have an MP3 of a song's author telling the story that prompted him to write the song, while in the background we hear the recording of him and his band singing and performing it (just one voice singing plus a piano and an organ) performing the song. This is an old black gospel song. The part I want to isolate is him speaking and telling the story. If this is not entirely possible I would settle for greatly reducing the background music so that his narration stands out much stronger. Any suggestions?

[@rehanarain184]

Thnx and love you bro

[@soihavetoplay]

Excellent review, thanks

[@alphareel7305]

Nice tutorial and sweet voice .

[@sisterclairefijiquebec7187]

Thank you so much what a very simple practical tutorial and YOUR voice is so soothing, will continue watching your tutorials and recommand it alo. Wonder if you could give more details for female voices in the equalizer or line curve? my seond question is about some sounds similar to Plosive but like a clacks not sure if it came from micro... can I use plosive to reduce it or another effect?

[@dorothytutorials]

Yes, you can use the fade in and fade out (plosive method) for that. I use the same setting as in the video for the filter curse and it usually works well on all my audios

[@luisamedina1]

Thank you for your video! I'm having a problem: Every time I export a file (either WAV or MP3), the file has certain "length" per se, but when import it, it's waaayyyy longer than before. Using your own sample around min 2.4 when you've imported it, let's say that it was much longer that what you show. What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much in advance for your details when replying!

[@circleses]

I have the latest audacity, but there are no record /edit buttons etc appearing in the interface

[@itzretakes272]

I suggest using a k669 USB mic! It’s very budget friendly and good audio!

[@Sohail410_]

Very helpful

[@angelalavern5g]

Thank you!

[@thewoollyway2318]

I recorded in multiple tracks. Should I edit the tracks individually and then combine them or should I put the tracks together and then edit it as one track? Should I just record in one track next time? If so, how can I record one track and still take breaks (i.e. not record the whole track in one day)?

[@bhavishyayt_0736]

Here, I am from India.❤️👍

[@curiosidadeboa]

Hei! I am trying to learn how to edit many tracks. One playlist and connect the songs, editing volume. Like a group training in the gym. It could be nice if you teach it. :-)

[@michaelsams6873]

So very well done! Too many trainers move their mouse too fast and cause the viewer confusion or misstep.

[@dorothytutorials]

So glad you could follow along

[@blessyponnachen9528]

Right after downloading, when I'm inserting my recorded audio from my device, a dialogue box appears saying that ffmeg is not there n can't insert the video in mp3 format . How can I rectify this issue?

[@dorothytutorials]

That is because you can only add an audio track into audacity not a video file. You need to export your video audio as only and audio track and then import into davinci resolve.

[@Morothepro]

Ok so what if i use my built-in laptop microphone? Will the final result after editing be as good as if i used an actual microphone?

[@motivationtv1201]

Nice

[@lajellybeans]

Wait...so how can I record it without clicking on the red button thing??

[@momodvm5916]

Good tutorial

[@dorothytutorials]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AllAccessConstruction]

💯💯💯

[@blessyponnachen9528]

What is the need of compressing

[@vlutz101]

I don't know if it is appropriate anymore for men to compliment women but you have a beautiful, pleasant voice!

[@blessyponnachen9528]

For female voice : how to know that we keeping the line at 130 or 140 Hz ?

[@blessyponnachen9528]

Can you explain filter curve EQ

[@blessyponnachen9528]

Y we are changing the graph in filter curve?

[@blessyponnachen9528]

Is it a must to change values of bass boost n treble boost ? What new changes does it bring in our audio?

[@blessyponnachen9528]

What if I want to edit and save only a small portion of the video ? How to do ? Do I have to duplicate the the required audio n edit it , then how do I save that edited small portion of audio to my device?

[@yahay.malshaikhi7093]

that was actually helpful but give us more examples not just saying this is before and after let me hear it

[@spiritualimageofficial3716]

I love u

[@dorothytutorials]

glad you found it useful

[@denisesudell2538]

The title is misleading. This isn't a 2023 tutorial --= it's two years old.

[@garychapin448]

Dorothy, your tutorial is not a complete guide to use Audacity. As a beginner, my initial need is to learn how to use the controls to record, edit, save, etc. Think eighth-grade lesson planning! Please let me know where I can find a step-by-step tutorial and how to use Audacity?

[@bertwesler1181]

It's NOT """HOW""" it looks like. It's """WHAT""" it looks like. STOP USING BLACK TALK.
