How To Use AUDACITY 2022 "Audacity Tutorial 2022"- COMPLETE GUIDE - Voice Over, Podcast, Music, ACX

Wooooow what a Tutorial. Ive been using Audacity just to edit my voice and then import the WAV File back into my Video editor. Trying to guess a lot of the effects. These Tutorial connected a lot of dots. And for FREE!!! You've got to be kidding me!

I didnt know there was a difference between a Balanced XLR Cable vs a non balanced 1. So much gold in this Tutorial. And agIn for FREE!!! WOW!

Iam now a subscriber.

THANK YOU

@VoiceOverMaster This was exactly what I needed. I had no idea how easy could be. ONE SUGGESTION THOUGH JOSH!!! Please HIGHLIGHT your mouse or make it bigger. Because it's the same color as the APP, many times I couldn't see where you were pointing to. I had to re watch 3-4 times to follow your cursor. Most people use a "highlighter" around their cursor. You and many others will thank me.

Don't like the final outcome in the Harley spot

Josh I'm SO confused! I just upgraded my PC and installed the latest version of
Audacity...and wish I hadn't. A lot of changes were made with absolutely no explanation regarding features that used to be one place, and now they scattered all over. I'd rater have the older version back.

Here's my delemma: When selecting a portion of a track, Audacity is only letting me select on the time/seconds mark. For instance, I can select 5.5 to 5.7 -- but I need it to go from 5.5 to a between 5.6 and 5,7 - but instead of doing that, It jumps all the way up to 5.8. So...there is NO WAY to select a exact part of a track. In the older version I could select any selection I wanted...but no more. Is this an Audacity Setting that can be changed - like changing to a "free selection" which would allow me to select exactly what I'm trying to select. No more, no less. Can anybody help me out here? Hopefully it's a simple setting that's easy to change. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Can you mix a track in here?

ok very good master ..........,,,,

Very helpful and thank you for not speed talking.

Hello! I have a specific question. When i record my first podcast there was noises in the background and i tried to remove it with effect - noise reduction. The first setting for dB to not hear it i tap 17, but the volume is quiet, it mutes my volume quite a bit and I don't know how to remove the noise without reducing my volume so much.

Late to the party but what an education this is. Thank you indeed.

was gonna buy his course until he showed me the add with Simion that. So now I'm glad I saw that because I could immediately tell that its bs

dude spent 30 minutes trying to sell a mic to us. damn man get the point. he has valuable info but he tends to have a lot of bs in between it

Hiya i cant get the sound to work on this video ! My settings volume are on, so i guess i better return later to be able to utilise the information on audacity 2022.

The best tutorial !!! 😅 see you very soon

Is anyone earning after watching this tutorial?

Why does the playhead disappear when I pause? There's a part of a sing where I want to just focus on. But idk what millisecond it is. I want to be able to go back and forth, millisecond by millisecond, listening.

I'm referring to Adobe Premiere Pro.

Great stuff, learnt alot. I salute. Will study the lesson again and digest it all. Cheers!🔥👌

Love the recording but I got lost as to what order to use the tools. we are making guided meditations and I am not sure if I adjust EQ first, ACX, Loudness Normalization, Compression, or some different order. Sorry but I am new to this and just trying to figure out the best order to follow. Any comments are very much appreciated.

I'm so happy I came across your video! I was about to give up on self-narrating my book. But now every file is passing no problem. Thank you for doing these videos.

Just paid for and waiting on the course! Looking forward to it and thanks for all the tips so far!

I am curious.
I've used audacity for quite a few years and I was just wondering how can they produce this or make this free to us ?

I do love audacity..
Keith

Okay it looks like you reply to some of your fans so I'm going to go ahead and subscribe just in case I have a question.
Plus I'm going to hit the bell.
I do use audacity I don't
Know every trick in the book with it but I certainly would love to learn it more than I know.
Thanks. Keith

THANK YOU!!!! I learned sooo much and many things that will help me with my podcast editing!

I have an EVO 4 Audio interface with a Shure SM58LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone, and I can't get anything to work with this setup. I'm sure it's user error, have watched every video I can find, but I can't get anything working. Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Yikes really long man it's going to take me a few days and a miracle to get through this! lol

Awesome!! so glad to find someone who knows what they’re talking about

"Progzimitty effect"xD

Man this is gold! I'm a new author and recorded my audio book so this is GREAT! Thank you so much!

I believe the compressor works the other way around: With a threshold of -20 and a ratio of 3:1, it would compress a sound that was -17 down to -19, or a -14 down to -18, -11 down to -17 and so on.

Also selecting the make up gain to 0dB option would remove the -3.2dB headroom you would set in the limiter - that is, if you used the compressor with that setting on after the limiter.

The order I do the usual effects for spoken word is:
1. High pass filter (or you can do this in the EQ as well)
2. Noise reduction
3. Normalize (Using the regular normalize effect, to -1dB This helps with using the compressor later.)
4. EQ
5. Compression
6. Loudness normalization
7. Limiter (for any peaks that went over -3dB)

Anything else funny like reverb or something I would probably slip in between compression and loudness normalization.

Does Audacity have a newer version of ACX Check. I found one but was unable to get it downloaded and added to the latest version of Audacity.

Now this needs to be updated.... Want you ?

Great video, thank you. If I have to listen to "project livewire is among us.." again, it is going to drive me up the wall. 🤣

Can you do a Audacity 3.2.4 lol half the stuff you showed to change i cant find :)

How do I put a tap in click in front of an imported MP3 file, so I know when to start playing?

I appreciate the part about Sibliants, but do you have any advice on how to handle syblings?

I feel like I am either insane or on my way there. I am stuck. My peaks are too compressed or low (-10dBz usually), but if I amplify my peaks, the RMS becomes too noisy. All of the advice I see is when your peaks are too high and the RMS is low, but I do not see much for the opposite circumstance. I have this same problem on all 8 of my recordings, so I know that it is my fault, but I am following every instruction.

Long but worth it

whats the final word on the work flow? i'm kind of confused based on different things you've said in past videos what is your current reccomendation on work order? (what order you do things like noise reduction, noise gate, compression, eq, loudness normalization, limiter, etc

This was phenomenal information; thank you!

Compressor: Shrinks dynamic range by turning loud stuff down
Limiter: Prevents audio from peaking above a user-defined limit
Normalize: Turns the entire clip up or down until the loudest peak hits a user-defined level

This was super helpful and packed with tips that would have taken me months to discover on my own. Thanks very much!

Josh, thank you very much for this tutorial! Wish you the best!!!

You explain things so precisely. I have been looking at many videos on how to use DAWs, I’m using Reaper, but I haven’t really mastered it. You make me wanna switch to Audacity. I really love the video you did, Ultimate Guide for Narrators and Podcasters. I’m hooked your program. Thanks for sharing.

Totally Confused...just downloades Audacity 3.2.2 for Window's I do not have the same tool bars you have...even if I add all the additional toolbars I do not have your interlace setup.I only have the Frist row of yours showing with different tool section. Not sure why mine is different.

you are the man..... thank you... this has help me out especially being on a financial budget at the moment...
