Using Audacity to Edit Audio

I use Audacity to edit audio recordings. Audacity is free software available here http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Here is a tutuorial on how to edit audio using Audacity that you may want to bookmark to read after you get the software installed.
There’s also good tutorial at the Audacity site, and after a couple of hours fooling around with one of your recordings and you’ll know everything you need.
If you run into a problem, there is an excellent user forum at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/audacity-help.
Anytime I have posted a question to this forum I have received a helpful reply within a few hours.
Although you will need to invest some time learning the program, it’s really not hard to learn once you have it installed.
Advantages of Audacity:
- free, open source
- full featured
- lots of people use it, so there’s always someone you can ask questions
Disadvantages of Audacity:
- can be a bit fussy to download and install (there’s some sort of driver that you have to install separately, and it caused me a bit of grief)
Here’s another excellent article on how to edit audio using Audacity.
And here are some good Audacity video tutorials:
