AUDACITY TUTORIAL

A short, simple tutorial on using Audacity


A BIT ABOUT AUDACITY
 Audacity is a free program used for recording and
editing sounds.
 The program is available for Mac, Microsoft Windows,
GNU/Linux, and many other operating systems.
 Click http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to be directed to
the audacity home page.
DOWNLOAD

 Downloading Audacity is simple!


 Choose which version will work with your
computer system the best.
 Simply click the link. That link will take you to
another page, recommending a specific version
for your computer system (how easy is that?!)
 Click the “Audacity installer” link, and choose
“save” when the grey box pops up.
 Once “save” is chosen, all there is left to do is
wait for your download to finish!
USING AUDACITY
 Audacity will be found on your home screen or in your
program files.
 Once you find and open Audacity, a welcome screen will lead
you in the direction you want to go.
 I suggest playing around with it. I found that it was easier to
understand and use after a few tries.
 To begin recording your file, click the large red record button
at the top of the page (easy, huh?)
 To listen to your project from the beginning, push the dark
grey rewind button. Choose the dark grey fast forward button
to skip to the end.
 Finally, use the play button to…you guessed it! Play your
project!
SAVING AND OPENING YOUR PROJECT
 To save your project, choose “file” at the top left of the
page.
 Scroll down to “save project as” and choose where you
want your project to be saved (such as your flash drive,
your documents, etc.)
 To open your project, you can either open Audacity,
choose “file” and scroll to “open”, or you could simply
go to where you saved your project at and click it,
prompting Audacity to open itself for you!
NOW…GET GOING!!!
 You’re all set to start recording and editing projects!!
Happy Recording!
