  Audacity - An exceptional audio creating and editing software package 

Audacity Tutorial

Audacity is a free audio editor. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and more. Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings. It also has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications. Built-in effects include Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal, and it also supports VST plug-in effects.

  • Audacity is free and the source code is available under the GNU General Public License.
    .
  • No limits on the number of tracks or the length of any track, except the size of your hard disk.
    .
  • Import almost anything: WAV, AIFF, Next/AU, IRCAM, MP3, and MIDI files are supported natively, but Audacity will also open just about any uncompressed sound file and automatically deduce the format (using the Import Raw Data... feature).
    .
  • Audacity not only includes many high-quality effects built-in, but also lets you use plug-in effects in the industry-standard VST format. There are dozens of free, shareware, and commercial VST plug-ins online that do everything from Reverb to Noise Reduction.
    .
  • Audacity acts like a non-destructive editor , providing multiple levels of undo, but it also writes changes made to the audio to disk, eliminating the need for complicated real-time processing.
    .
  • Label tracks allow you to annotate waveforms (for example, transcribing speech) and later export the waveforms to a text file.
    .
  • Powerful spectral features allow you to view waveforms as spectrograms or plot the power spectrum of any region of audio, and even export this data to a spreadsheet.

I know how difficult learning a whole lot of new software can be when you are just starting so I have produced a video where I can show you exactly how to do it. Because of constraints of time I will use two audio files I created earlier.
