Obtaining Audio from different sources

Audio files can be obtained from many different sources such as audio recorders in phone, camera, or laptops. The audio recording in laptops can be done using Audacity which is explained in Step 3 below. Similarly, audio can be recorded in other recording devices and transferred to a laptop to edit them using Audacity. Importing audio files from different sources to the laptop is explained in Step 8 of Learn Ubuntu page.

Mac Audacity Terminal

Recording with Audacity

• Step 1 -This can be opened from Applications > Sound & Video > Audacity

• Step 2 - When you open the Audacity application, it will show the window as above

To start recording, click the red record Diana ross muscles mp3 download. button in the Toolbar as shown in the left image. Begin talking or playing any audio and continue for as long as you want. When you feel you've recorded enough, click the yellow stop button. Until you stop the recording, other functions on the Menu and Toolbar will be disabled. You can record audio playing on your computer itself, or playing in another external audio device

Importing audio and multiple tracks

• Audio track and adding new track

• Multiple tracks

To import audio, click File -> Import -> Audio from the menu as shown in the first image above. Choose the music file from your computer, and then click on Open. Once you import an audio clip it will appear in Audacity as an audio track as you can see in the second image. If you want to add multiple tracks, you can do so by clicking on Tracks -> Add new -> Audio track from the Menu as shown in the same second image. With the use of multiple tracks, you can record and at the same time import several audio tracks to work in Audacity as shown in the third image above. See below animation to know the steps to import second track.

Basic audio editing

• Selection of Audio

• Cutting selected audio

• Pasting selected audio

Similar to how we do cut (or copy) paste a selection of text in a text document, we can cut (copy) and paste a selection of audio in an audio file in Audacity. To delete a part of the track, we can select the area of the track we wish to delete as shown in the first image above and then press delete key on the keyboard to delete. To move a part of the audio to another place on the same track or to another track, we need to select it first as we did before and then click on the cut icon on the toolbar as shown in the second image. Then the same audio can be pasted by clicking on the paste icon on the toolbar as shown in the third image above. The usual keyboard shortcuts for cut(Ctrl+X), copy(Ctrl+C) and paste(Ctrl+V) will also work on Audacity. Once you are done with editing, the final audio can be exported to any audio format from the Menu by clicking on File->Export and then Save.

Saving and exporting to different formats

1. All the edits including files can be saved in uncompressed, lossless quality using the AU format. An AUP project file is created, along with a folder with the same name as the AUP file that contains the project's audio data. For example, if you save a project as chanson.aup, a folder called chanson_data will contain the audio data. We can save the AUP project file with keyboard Ctrl+S shortcut or through File->Save from the Menu.
2. Exporting to different audio formats can be done with Ctrl+Shift+E keyboard shortcut or by clicking on File -> Export through Menu. List of all available export formats supported by Audacity can be found here.

Adjusting the volume of the audio

Occasionally, you may find that recordings are either too quiet or of poor quality once you come to edit them. This can be remedied to a certain degree in Audacity.

• Increase your recorded volume by using amplify feature

• Select amplify tool from effect menu

• Select 'allow clipping' to increase the volume

To amplify the clip select the track which you want to increase (amplify) the volume, go to ‘Effect’ tab from the top of the screen and choose ‘Amplify’ from the drop-down menu and Finally, use the slider in the new dialogue box to tell Audacity how much you wish to amplify your clip and click ‘OK to apply.You have to select 'allow clipping' to increase the volume. See below animation to use amplify function to adjust the volume,

Removing noise

n order to remove ‘noise,’ we must first tell Audacity what the ‘noise’ sounds like so it can be isolated within the audio. Do this by firstly selecting a portion of the audio where nobody is talking –like a break in the conversation, so you just get the ‘noise.’ Next, go to ‘Effect’ and select ‘Noise Removal’ from the drop-down menu:

• Remove noise by using noise reduction option

• Select Noise reduction tool from effect menu

• Select get noise profile and select OK

Audacity Terminal Install

From the dialogue box, select ‘Get Noise Profile.’ This will then take a sample of the ‘noise’ you wish to cancel out.Next, select ‘Edit’ from the top left of the screen, ‘Select..’and then ‘All’ to highlight the whole clip. Once you have highlighted the whole clip, return to the ‘Effect’ tab, choose ‘Noise Removal’ from the drop-down menu and then click ‘OK’ at the bottom of the dialogue box (see right). This will process the file and remove all of the ‘noise’ from your recording.

Fade a section in or fade it out

These basic fades apply a fade to the selected audio such that the amplitude of the selection goes from absolute silence to the original amplitude (Fade In), or from the original amplitude to absolute silence (Fade Out). The shape of the fade is linear, so it appears as a straight line from beginning to end.

• Add fade in or fade out for your track

• After added fade in for the track

• After added fade out for the track

Highlight the section of audio you want to fade out to silence. The larger a section you select, the longer and slower the fade effect will be. Click 'Effect,' followed by 'Fade Out' or 'Fade In'.
