Today I began learning the ins and outs of using the software platform, Audacity. Audacity is open source software that allows the user to edit audio files. Audacity provides pro-level editing tools at an amazing price-FREE!
Using the tutorials on Lynda.com, I learned the basics of how to download and install Audacity on a Mac, as well as how to import audio and play audio. Lynda.com also provided basic editing instructional videos. These editing videos outlined the process for making selections, copy, cutting and pasting, splitting clips, automating volume, and other common effects that are useful to the beginner.
So far Audacity seems to be a very user friendly piece of software. Some of the functions look intimidating but I'm sure once I upload my first audio clips and begin editing, I will get the hang of it.
