Audacity
In this section on Audacity, you will learn how to use the software to create dynamic interviews, podcasts, and general audio editing techniques. We will go over importing audio files, editing, recording, and playing back audio, then packaging and exporting the project.
Audacity is an easy to use, free, and open-source multi-track audio editor and recorder. It is available to use on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. While this training will focus on the Windows interface, many of the actions and skills found within this training will be similar across each operating system.
