Audacity 2023 Guide: Master Recording, Editing & Mixing 🎧

In 2015, I recorded a popular intro to the free audio editing program Audacity, but a few things have changed in the program, so I made a new one! It's for brand new Audacity users who have never used this software before. This video shows some of the most common and simple tools in Audacity, especially if you're recording your voice and layering it with music. I cover the basics of recording, adjusting the hotness of the mic, audio compression, splitting clips, importing music, adjusting the volume of multiple tracks, saving, and exporting. 00:00: Intro 00:20: Mic selection & levels 01:49: First recording & zooming 03:06: Selecting audio & compressing 05:26: Importing music & deleting 08:42: Sync-lock, splitting clips 10:30: Mixing volume with the envelope tool 13:48: Saving project, exporting, metadata Recorded in July 2023 with Audacity 3.3.3 on Windows 10.
