I have been so discouraged lately not knowing how to edit my podcasts. I don’t hit the thumbs up on videos often, but this one deserved it. I’m ready to get back into it. Thank you sir
Watching this a year later and it’s still gold. Thank you so much for taking your time to make this video and share with us. I really needed it, still gotta find my own way but this definitely got me on the right foot. ❤️
Thanks. This was just what I needed. Basic tools to get started and a foundational workflow! I also appreciated the brevity but without compromising the depth of information.
You're welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that you found my tutorial helpful and I'm glad to know it will be a valuable resource for your podcasting journey.
Nice work! I will show this video in my podcasting class that l am teaching this semester. I know that my students will learn a lots, just as l have. I cannot thank you enough.
Hey Mike, I’m city over here now when you were doing this episode, and I’m like talking along to everything that you are doing on there, because I know what to do, and a lot of people would think that who is it talking to because I have my headphones on, and I’m listening to you, and I enjoy every podcast or any episode it to bring out, quite cool.
I run a podcast with 6 tracks and I'll tell you the project files get huge when you make lots of edits. A 5-hour session became 32 GIGS and has a lag of 15 seconds after an edit.
Thank you so much for this. It's such a great tutorial can you please do an update on the new updated audacity software for any latest uploads if there is any major interface changes. I hope this makes sense.
thank you so much for your effort can you give advice on how to remove the s sound whenever I record an audio no matter how much good is the microphone the s sound is strong in my audios.. it's the way I pronounce it , is there any editing option that can reduce the s sound?
Is there any way to mute the other person's voice if you're recording two tracks in the same mixer, if you're in the same room? Both sound tracks are in the same "section", which doesn't allow me to seperately make adjustments to the individual voices.
Unfortunately, Audacity doesn't offer a real-time solution to mute individual voices during a live recording when they're mixed together in the same track.
When I play my audio in Audacity, it hasn't been playing through the whole track. It'll start at the beginning, play for a few seconds, and then just stop at an obscure point and go back to the beginning again. I've played with settings, shut down the program, tried basically anything I can think of and I still can't get it to stop, which makes it really annoying when I want to see how the whole audio sounds together. Please, if you guys have any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
It sounds like there may be a playback issue with your audio in Audacity, try checking the audio device settings and ensuring that no plugins or effects are causing interruptions in the playback loop to resolve this playback problem.
Hello! I have one but very important question! We did a podcast, but than we noticed a strange noise, which seems like squeak… And we can’t rid of it😩 Is it possible to remove it? Please, HELP!
Hello Mike, I love your videos, but have a comment and a question… the new Audacity has an option where you can drag the audio track by clicking on the name…it does not seem you are using the newer version… it would be good for newcomers… also I tend to alter the volume of individual tracks by sliding the volume in the track (left side) instead of amplifier option… is that different? What would be the difference? Again thanks for the videos!
Hey mike! i have a question. Should i record on 44000 or 48000? i have could not find any useful video about it. By the way, i will use it for a podcast. you always go for 44000. is it the best?
For podcasting 44100 Hz is usually sufficient and offers smaller file sizes which can be beneficial. Recording at 48000 Hz may provide slightly better audio quality but will require more storage space and might not give noticeable differences for most listeners especially in a podcast scenario.
There are many videos available on the channel on making your voice sound better. If you want to take your recordings to the next level I’d suggest a microphone upgrade would be the best idea.
Hey, this video is an awesome intro to using audacity that gets one started right away. I've checked out some of you other videos, all great stuff, full of information and a great pace. You have a new subscriber! One question, I'm using the latest version of Audacity and I can't figure out how to drag the timelines to line them up the way you do. Every time I try to click on a track to drag it left or right, it just selects the track, or sets a cursor. Thank you:)
Hey, thank you so much for subscribing and for the kind words! Regarding your question about dragging timelines in Audacity... make sure you're using the "Time Shift Tool." You can find it in the toolbar or press "F5" to activate it. Once this tool is selected you should be able to click and drag your tracks left or right to line them up.
Hmmm, the F5 key has now effect on the current tool I have selected. I found some menu commands under the tracks-align tracks drop down that allow me to snap the tracks to a preset cursor. My version of Audacity doesn't seem to have a time shift tool. Oh well, I'll crack on without it. Thank you for the reply:) @@MikeRussell
If you want to bleep out any vulgar stuff or swear words that are not allowed in your podcast by decree, or TOS, or by law, you can use the DTMF tone generator in Audacity to "bleep out" these words. It will sound strange (they sound like old-style touch-tone telephone sound), but it can be helpful if you must censor offensive words or stuff.
hi everyone, i have a problem maybe someone know how to fix it. I would like to record with headphones my voice and the voice of the person i'm doing the podcast with. We usually make a call with discord but I can' record our 2 voices together, it is One or the other that work on audacity. I'm desperate
‼UPDATE FOR AUDACITY USERS ‼- I have made it easier than ever before to work with tricky audio. My brand new audio presets are out now. One click to GREAT sound :) Check them out here: mrc.fm/presets This is a great way for you to support my channel too 🙏🙏🙏
Is my computer speakers broken or is the sound in this video broken? That would almost be too ironic. But have the volume high, anyone else has a problem or is my computer?
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing sound issues, but it's likely an issue with your computer or speakers as the sound in this video is working fine for others.
If you have two people you can use the same Audacity tutorial to achieve a great podcast sound. Record each person separately and then mix them together using Audacity. Easy!
Thanks for watching! Audacity has gone through some updates over the years, but the key principles for editing your podcast and making it sound great remain the same!
This video didn't help me. Everything here is paid. If there are a lot of emo videos on RUclips, why should I pay you this amount? You should be usable for your audience.

Wow. Audacity is great. I wish I knew about auto duck sooner! Thanks for the tips.
👍
I run a podcast with 6 tracks and I'll tell you the project files get huge when you make lots of edits. A 5-hour session became 32 GIGS and has a lag of 15 seconds after an edit.
Why don't I see that move/shift tool on my Audacity?
I don't either. I just select the audio track to drag left or right
today i learnt about auto-duck from you! THANKS :D
🙏
Great tips, thanx Mike! U are the best!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found the tips helpful, and I appreciate your support!
Thank you so much for this. It's such a great tutorial can you please do an update on the new updated audacity software for any latest uploads if there is any major interface changes. I hope this makes sense.
Coming soon!
thank you so much for your effort
can you give advice on how to remove the s sound
whenever I record an audio no matter how much good is the microphone the s sound is strong in my audios.. it's the way I pronounce it , is there any editing option that can reduce the s sound?
Ah, the notorious s sound strikes again! It’s like that one friend who can’t stop talking! Try using a de-esser.
Thanks. Very useful intro to the basics. Thanks for auto duck. Was never aware of this feature before now.
Glad to have helped
Thanks for this easy tutorial!
👍
It worked! Tank you sir.
Fantastic👍👍👍
🙏
That auto duck feature is awesome. Didn’t even know that was a a thing.
Auto ducking can save podcast editors so much time.

Hello!
I have one but very important question!
We did a podcast, but than we noticed a strange noise, which seems like squeak… And we can’t rid of it😩
Is it possible to remove it?
Please, HELP!
Impossible to say without hearing the audio I'm afraid
Great vídeo, thank you from Colombia!
Great, thanks!
Thank you, SO SO SO much!!!!
You're welcome, it means the world to me that you enjoyed the video!
Thank you!
Welcome!

What would be the difference? Again thanks for the videos!
Making the adjustments in the track allows you to make different key frame adjustments within the track.
It was very good thank you very much!

@@MikeRussell thanks for answer i was not confident about 44000 :)
Thanks!

How can I make my audio batter on adobe audition? I am Recording on the smartphone or BOYA M1.

If you want to bleep out any vulgar stuff or swear words that are not allowed in your podcast by decree, or TOS, or by law, you can use the DTMF tone generator in Audacity to "bleep out" these words. It will sound strange (they sound like old-style touch-tone telephone sound), but it can be helpful if you must censor offensive words or stuff.
Thanks for sharing! The DTMF tone generator is a great tool for keeping things clean while maintaining some humor in the podcast.
How were you able to highlight just one track?
In Audacity, you can highlight just one track by clicking and selecting only on that track.
hi everyone, i have a problem maybe someone know how to fix it. I would like to record with headphones my voice and the voice of the person i'm doing the podcast with. We usually make a call with discord but I can' record our 2 voices together, it is One or the other that work on audacity. I'm desperate
Your best option here would be a mixing desk. You would also be able to do this using Voicemeter banana virtual mixer on a PC

Is it for Android...for phones??
Sorry, this tutorial is specifically focused on using Audacity on a computer (PC or Mac) rather than on Android phones.
Is my computer speakers broken or is the sound in this video broken? That would almost be too ironic. But have the volume high, anyone else has a problem or is my computer?
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing sound issues, but it's likely an issue with your computer or speakers as the sound in this video is working fine for others.
Guys what happened to Free jingles Fridays
Free Jingle Friday is now a monthly show. Our next show will be April 8th
What about if there’s two people
If you have two people you can use the same Audacity tutorial to achieve a great podcast sound. Record each person separately and then mix them together using Audacity. Easy!
Aaahhh thooooo
