Audacity 4

£3.99

This guide is written for Audacity 4. It starts with the decision nobody warns you about: a few features from version 3, including batch processing with macros and MIDI tracks, are not in 4.0 yet, and the book tells you when to stay on 3.7.9 instead.

Four projects:

A two-speaker podcast episode, edited, levelled, chaptered and exported

A heritage interview rescued from a noisy front room, delivered as both an archive copy and a documentary cut

A voice-over recorded to picture, with subtitles built from label tracks

Final exports at the right loudness for podcast apps, YouTube and UK broadcast

You also learn recording levels and latency, the new clip and split model, the two kinds of delete, clip gain, noise reduction, spectral repair, realtime effects and plug-ins.

Free software, no subscription. Twelve chapters, four projects, twenty quiz questions and a glossary.
