How To Make a Song in Audacity - Recording, Editing, & Mixing [Latest Update] 2021

[@jasonrtech]

Check out EaseUS Vocal Remover (free): bit.ly/3MXvqp9 Vocal Remover can remove vocals or background music from any song or audio file. It creates karaoke instrumentals and acapella vocals by removing song vocals or background music online for free. EDIT 2: 🚨👋🏼 I stopped making Audacity videos as I've switched to Cakewalk (also free) because I needed more features. If you feel the need to upgrade too, here's some of my Cakewalk videos to get you started: Installing plugins tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXfMnXevlrlpjbs Plugin presets for voiceovers & music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2SmqperZqeZq7s Cakewalk music mixing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKTGiHqdZ8ephMk Cakewalk voiceover editing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXfMnXevlrlpjbs EDIT: I found out another possible reason some of y'all have recording problems. To the right of the mic selection drop-down, make sure "Mono" is selected so you're recording in mono to the mono vocal tracks. Otherwise, Audacity will record stereo to the only available stereo track (the instrumental), screwing you over. Hope this works! Can't believe I missed my own premiere lmao. Anyway hope y'all liked this one and got something out of it. I'm working on my own music too so stay tuned 👀

[@MultiSmilesXD]

Music is really awesome! Your videos are the best I've found and I'm grateful for your knowledge! Thanks for creating the videos and I wish your music becomes more known 💯🤗🙏

[@yuungdream6216]

Can you advice me a good free autotune plugin?

can we please get a full song

[@smashyviral]

this lil edit helped so much lmfao

[@danieldl33]

What version of audacity did you use in this video please tell me

[@n8thegreat445]

Just wanted to let you know this is really motivating. It get's really easy to think that something that is skillful sounds bad when its really just a bad mix and master. Thanks for the help :)

[@No-Pressure-Only-Results]

Nope other way around those plugins or efx you cannot achieve the sound if you didn't record properly same as he records

[@sourceeee]

I will confidently die on the hill that is 100% possible to make a professional mix people want to listen to in Audacity (I have also done it before I ever owned a DAW like FL), given you check your work, keep track of your applied effects/undos, and make backups of the original audio files on disk. Screw people saying you need this/that or it doesn't sound good. If it sounds good, it is good. DAW does not matter in the grand scheme of things. All that matters is you and your workflow.

[@imanibathe]

very well done. I started singing along because I've replayed this so much. the hardest part in putting out my music would probably be the aim for perfection. I have been working on my project for 2-3 years. I'm planning to release in dec. please pray for me in hopes you all can here it. I truly just wanna do this for the world.

How do you install all of the plug-ins? It would be preferable if you could upload a video explaining how to install plug-ins.

[@jasonrtech]

I've done a video on that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q52pZo2Yer-Lhq8

[@RandyReviews1990]

i found out about audacity from my brother he was in a band and used audacity to record at first glance it looked basic generic but that's what made me love it it is generic basic and there isn't much to do on it but its free simple and their are plenty of tutorials on it lol.

[@ryanzhao2052]

This is super impressive, thanks for sharing!

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

quite helpful as always!!!

[@AndrewUnruh]

Thank you! I find Audacity to be quite intuitive compared to something like Reason. One problem I have encountered is that, even with headphones, there is some leakage back into the microphones. Now, if I were in control, I would create an echo canceller to remove (at least the linear) portion of this echo. This is WAY easier than it sounds - the hardest part is finding the transfer function between the headphones and the microphone and even that isn't all that hard. Does anyone know if Audacity has this functionality?

[@ogmruks]

Hie. I'm recordin using my laptop and a usb mic with the audacity software. After recording, I noticed that the vocals are in front of the beat. As in they are not flowing as they are supposed to. How do I fix that?

[@safal.sunchueuri]

Hello jason, can you suggest me a best budget microphone for podcast? i prefer more bass in voice.

[@jasonrtech]

I'd say for under $150, go for the Yeti or UM800. I've made multiple videos on both, and with editing, you can pull out quite a bit of bass from your voice 👍🏼

[@straygamer5326]

*ARE THE PLUGINS ARE AVAILABLE ON AUDACITY ??*

[@bandsbb]

when i hit record it just ads the recording to the end of the beat instead of the new adio track, why?

[@rottedprops7253]

You have to change your recordings channel tab from stereo to mono. I had the same problem too

[@franklean47]

Youve helped me alot thank you!!

[@franklean47]

Under the AUDIO SETUP drop-down menu, i select RECORDING DEVICE and the NW-700 is not listed. Instead, there is MICROPHONE ARRAY (2-twv123456B) and MICROSOFT SOUND MAPPER input. What does all this mean? I have the E-10 box hooked up.

[@54Meilen]

Hey guys, how do I take over the presets for the TDR Nova? I tried to copy and paste, but I don't know it didn't work Thanks for helping

[@jasonrtech]

There's a link in the description covering that 👍🏼

[@Xubuntu47]

So after you select the correct audio device and nothing gets recorded, what do you do? I thought I'd fire up Audacity after Ardour spontaneously deleted hours of work, twice. I thought it might be simpler, but it just presents a different set of problems.

[@TitanNinja13]

Thats sick

[@foreverhiddenpabz]

When I click New audio track and go to record. It records after the beat and not in the part of track. It literally goes at the end of the audio? Can you help me with this?

[@fotinifotini9513]

good job❤ Can I use the same plugins in Cakewalk?

audacity seems to only take plugins that are ny not dlli tryed install the plugins and it rejected it because it was in dll well most of the plugins for audacity are dll not sure why prefix didnt go

My question is after all these plugins, do you then master the song or put it into a mastering site like bandlab? Or do you just leave it like this and upload it for people to hear? What do YOU do exactly?

[@jasonrtech]

I haven't used a third party mastering service yet, and thus far have only exported from the DAW, hard limited, then uploaded for distribution 👍🏼
