There is a lot you have left out, but this may be because you don't know that Audacity from the link you provide does not have all the "Codecs" needed to fully open Audacity's full editing abilities. These codecs are FFmpeg and newer versions such as this one doesn't have FFmpeg in its libraries. When trying to add the FFmpeg codec libraries an important DLL (avformat-55.dll) file is missing or Audacity ignores the avformat-55.dll and both Audacity and FFmpeg sites do not have a workaround to fix this error. I recorded a sound file on my Andriod 10.1 phone and the file format was in AMR and Audacity could not open or import the audio file. My workaround was to have VLC Media Player convert the AMR to an MP3 and then Audacity could open the file for editing. A video about Audacities advanced features and how to sort file formats that Audacity can not read would be very helpful.
First video I experienced was a video tutorial for this cookie company. I didn't do the "assignment" but the video helped me like none other. So when I saw this tutorial for a new thing I need to learn...had to watch. 1000% on brand...best eva tutorials!
I have worked in television production for over 20 years...producing and training others. I can say from experience this is an EXCELLENT beginner tutorial! Very well done Kevin.
I've tried multiple 'beginner' tutorials and Kevin delivers by far, the most easy to understand useful training. A true beginner tutorial. Thank you Kevin!
I use Audacity for more than 7 years, you video showed me some features that I did not explore till now. Thank you Kevin for this instruction video. You make a great teacher.
Okay, so then you should be able to help, everytime I import my audio it cut's off at around 50 seconds, and I've attempted every type of import. Please help
This is probably my favourite tutorial I've ever seen for anything ever. You're essentially teaching audio editing fundamentals with a fun, realistic, yet easy-to-follow example; I imagine a lot of these concepts & tools carry over to other audio editors as well. Thank you very much for this excellent beginner's tutorial :)
Bro, I don't leave comments on RUclips. This is the best tutorial I have ever seen or used. I have never edited an audio file before and this is exactly what I needed!
Hey Kevin, this was my first training session for Audacity, and I must say it was top-notch. It was very well done, and the instructions were clear. Thanks, man!
I'm trying to begin doing voice over work, and eventually possibly try recording music. After watching this video, I feel so much less confused/overwhelmed about how to edit my files. Your explanations were so easy to understand and very practical - thank you SO much for providing this tutorial!
Just wanting to give you a big thank you for presenting this video in a calm-easy-to-follow presentation. It has been many years since I tackled learning computer programs and a little hesitate to starting over again. You've given me the encouragement I needed to edit hundreds of talks, lectures and sessions to post for people to learn from. Thank you again for your help.
This is such a good tutorial. I honestly almost skipped straight to 'record audio' but you were so straight forward and clear I ended up watching the whole thing just to record like five minutes of audio. 10/10
Best tute I have EVER seen on youtube. Thanks mate. You spoke clearly and slowly, used a large cursor so I could see where you were navigating and best of all you did not keep swishing the cursor around as you talked.
The clarity, relevance, information and level of engaging presentation in this tutorial is incredible. I wish every piece of training I've ever completed was delivered by Kevin. I think I would be twice as smart as I am!!! Thank you Kevin.
Great job, Kevin, you never failed to provide such useful and comprehensive yet clear and concise tutorial. It is very well planned and the transitions of each and every new topic is gradual, and that makes your lesson a very pleasant experience. If viewers who had watched your other videos are not yet convinced to subscribe to your channel, this surely will.
OMG...Dude...your a Lifesaver. I'm getting back into radio production and have been not only looking but wasting money on different recording software about 2-3 months now. It's all So foreign. I finally found Audacity. Came here and found YOU. I'm good to go now!!! Please, keep doing what your doing. You're educating, saving lives & money... Even thought not everyone tells you.
You know that a tutorial video is great when you smile at the end and kind of feeling confident that you can replicate what the tutor did. Thanks Kevin for this wonderful gem of a video.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. A nice indepth beginner's guide that will see me one step closer to starting my podcasts. When the overwhelm is reduced, that's where you find great value.
Discovering you on RUclips has been the best thing that ever happened. You have helped me quickly learn aspects of certain programs. Thanks and keep them coming.
Super clear and informative, thank you. "Compressor" was the thing I was hoping to learn about, but I learned at least 5 other neat things that's going to save me a ton of time going forward when editing my podcast. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial, my man. This is probably this best type of tutorial one can get. Good verbal explanations, good visual shows, plus practical applications that are simple to build off of. Just excellent
I think this was a very clear lesson. Kevin spoke clearly and didn't rush his presentation at any point. Today is my first venture into the music business, and this removes a lot of the uncertainties I have had about this new venture. I have a very large inventory of lyrics, and I need to dive right in on the music. Thanks a lot, from Easy Seeker
I have been learning audacity, trial by fire. This video has helped me to learn more of the basic fundamentals to apply, as I continue to learn the craft of podcasting. Awesome job Kevin!
I know very little about how audio recording and editing works and for a long time I have wanted to try recording my own podcast material and / or ASMR recordings. This video literally just helped me on a massive scale, super helpful, explained clearly, examples make sense, and most of all I don't feel stupid. You are a true hero. Thank you! - from one forever grateful audio amateur
I finally got Audacity to work. It was having freezing issues but learned that it was because of not updating my computer. Something so easy and took three hours to figure out. Suggestion for another video would be when we have issues with Audacity, freezing and not responding. Great videos, Kevin! Wish my Chemistry ones were as good as yours. Your voice is awesome!
Thank you so much for this video! I used Audacity for a class assignment and this was definitely the best "how to" video I have ever utilized. Thank you for the learning experience!
This was incredibly helpful. I took one look at audacity, was immediately intimidated and never tried to use it. After watching this, I feel confident in my ability to use it for my business. Thank you so much!
This was awesome! As a newer audiobook narrator, it was nice to get such clear explanations to a few parts of audacity that I hadn't figured out on my own. Thanks! ❤️
I have used Audacity for a number of years to edit and process audio for my website. Now I am planning to make my own RUclips videos, this video is just what I need.
Wow as a Mac user I normally rely on Garageband but needed to check out Audacity for my next project. This is an absolutely fantastic tutorial covering every aspect to get you started. Love how you use a sample project to guide the viewer through all the necessary steps!
Man! How often is it that you're left speechless after listening to a technical tutorial? I can only shake my head at the gift of teaching you have. Kevin, this is just amazing. I've been using audacity off and on for some years, but never increasing my knowledge very much. But now I feel I've grown exponentially in understanding the capability of Audacity. Thank you!
Thanks for this, Kevin! I teach an educational technology class and I'm always looking for updated resources that I send to students who may not have caught everything in the class session. This is exactly what I needed!
Whew! So happy to have found your instructional video Kevin. I have NEVER done any hands on recording of any kind except through an app on my iPhone. I was overwhelmed when I first downloaded Audacity but with your help I've calmed down and feel confident I will be able to get comfortable with and eventually enjoy the process. Thanks much!
It's a few years at least since I used to use Audacity to make professional CD recordings to sell. This was a VERY detailed reminder of so much of what I did a lot of years ago. Than you very much!
when it comes to teaching any subject, Kelvin is like god honestly. perfect voice, easy to understand, he doesn't speak fast which makes the sound of his voice very pleasant and healthy to anyone's hearing. I wish Kelvin will start teaching programming languages like javascript, java, python and PHP.
Hey Kevin, this was a really amazing rundown of the basic functionalities of Audaticy. I really loved this video. Im just getting started with my podcast and all the tips that you had mentioned here will surely help. cheers.
As a crusty old Broadcast Engineer I can say I have saved radio stations a fortune with Audacity instead of expensive audio editing software that does stuff they will never need. I never get time to master it or help out much once it is installed. This video is perfect for giving newbies a crash course that basically gives Production staff all the tools they may ever need for small market radio production. Five Stars and 3 Thumbs up
This is fantastic, Kevin. I come from video editing in Final Cut and Premiere Pro, but wanted to use audacity for simple podcast edits. This taught me everything I need, including the shortcuts. Thanks! 🙏🏻
I would just like to say that this helped me so much with getting started using audacity. There are some specific things I would like to know, yes. However, I would have been overwhelmed with all of the features and nuances. With this video, I was able to quickly use audacity to make my first funny video online without any prior knowledge. I would highly recommend this to other people as a starter guide for the program!!
This is how I started with the software and the exact same needs. It saved my sanity because that feature of hiss reduction worked really well. I really enjoy this software and your comments..pete
@@siri_yo British joke, it worked brilliantly but it is technically illegal even though I own the tapes I was copying so you say 'allegedly' or 'from a friend..' to deflect Justice from you🤞⚖️
Thank you for a clear and concise but pretty comprehensive introduction! Yours was the second intro video I found and so much better than the first. Everything I needed to piece together clips for a song, adjust levels, move clips, and add fade/compressor effects was covered. Keep it up!
I was in a hurry to find some Adobe graphics program tutorials, noticed this completely non-related video in recommendations, clicked it and 40 minutes later sat mesmerised and thirsty for more. Now I'm late. Masterful presentation and delivery Kevin! :)
Thank you so much! You have the ability to get right into the meat of the subject and explain it so that newbies like me can understand. What a gift you have, Kevin. You're a natural instructor.
Thanks for the fantastic video. Explained in details for the beginners very well. I would like you to include also about how to slow down the audio or increase the speed of the speech. Once again thanks & regards
I rarely write comments, but I have to write this one. I've been trying to edit my audio for a month and it turned out really bad every time. With your tutorial, I finally did it! Now I can edit audios like a pro. Thank you. ☺
What a GREAT video! Really appreciate this. Do you have anything about how to connect different clips? I thought I had it and then it didn't work. TIA, Kevin!
OMG. I'm not sure if I ever witnessed someone on a RUclips video who gave such clear instructions. I almost gave up on Audacity until this video. Kevin, you are friggin awesome. Really!
Towards the end, you pointed out different possible effects, including lowering pitch. I have not started yet, but if I am narrating and I want different voices, can I record them as different files and adjust the pitch, then cut and paste them in place? Or is this just a nutty idea? Thanks!
great idea. yes you can. break tasks into steps. Open clip, review, edit, save X. Save as...X02, import 2nd clip, ...oh, and did I mention?... HAVE FUN!
Kevin, I have listened to a number of your training videos and they are always clear and precise. This one is no exception. Thank you from 'down under'
can you please cover how to do Punch In overdubs? you can use this to correct mistakes in speech or performance by re recording the original with a correction in the spot where the original contained the mistake, thereby overdubbing the mistake.
"punch in" is still a used technique, from analog days, but additional options r available w/ computers. You can leave the 1st take, edit it to reduce volume during your "punch in", then return volume up. Simply add an additional track. Record the punch-in there. Go slow. Learn basics. Have fun!
This is the best, well thought out video for a beginner on recording and editing on RUclips. A lot of this information can be applied to other recording software. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.
you are just the most amazing and the best youtube teacher ever. i have become a pro in just 2days of following your teachings. i feel like i should pay you.
I love Audacity and used it a ton between 2012 and 2014. I am looking to jump back in but as I am using it on a new computer I needed some help remembering how to get back up and running. This was extremely helpful, thank you!

THANK YOU! This video saved my butt, as I am unskilled at computer language and have no idea what 'I am doing. Have a Beautiful day
This is the best, well thought out video for a beginner on recording and editing on RUclips. A lot of this information can be applied to other recording software. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.
Excellent tutorial, the best I've seen on how to use Audacity.
you are just the most amazing and the best youtube teacher ever. i have become a pro in just 2days of following your teachings. i feel like i should pay you.
i really love how this video has Mongolian subtitles?? Never in my life I've seen full english video on RUclips having perfect translation
This was fantastic! Thank you for this. It's still relevant 3yrs later.
This has to be the best of all the Audacity tutorials: Thank you for your brilliant presentations ❤
You are a great trainer. Love your videos.
Thank you for such a clear and informative explanation on how to use Audacity.
I love Audacity and used it a ton between 2012 and 2014. I am looking to jump back in but as I am using it on a new computer I needed some help remembering how to get back up and running. This was extremely helpful, thank you!
