Time Narration
00:01 Hello friends. Welcome to the tutorial on Editing using Audacity.
00:08 This tutorial will explain, how to edit an audio file. We will learn how to:
00:14 *open an audio file in audacity
00:16 * convert a stereo file to mono
  • Attach labels
  • Cut, delete, move and amplify the audio
  • Filter background noise
  • Save and export the audio file.
00:27 For this tutorial, I am using the Ubuntu Linux 10.04 version operating system and Audacity version 1.3.
00:36 Audacity supports many audio formats including:
00:39 * WAV (Windows Wave format)
00:41 * AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format)
00:43 * Sun Au / NeXT
00:46 * RCAM (Institut de Recherce et Coordination Acoustique / Musique)
00:49 * MP3 (MPEG I, layer 3) (export requires separate encoder. see Lame Installation) * Ogg Vorbis.
00:53 Let's access Audacity through the Main menu item Applications >> Sound and Video >> Audacity.
01:04 An Audacity help box opens. Let’s click OK.
01:09 To edit an audio file, we need to first import it into Audacity. To do this, go to File >> Import >> Audio.
01:21 When the browser window opens, browse for the audio file to be edited and click on Open.
01:31 The file opens in the Audacity window.
01:36 Save this file as an 'a u p' file (i.e. Audacity project file) by clicking on File >> Save Project As.
01:47 Click OK in the box that opens.
01:51 Give your file a name. Here we will type 'Editing in Audacity'..
01:55 Check the folder and click on Save.
02:00 Select 'Copy All Audio into Project (safer)' option.
02:05 This creates a folder that will contain all the audacity project data files.
02:11 Look at the tracks. If there is only one track, then the audio is in MONO.
02:16 This will also be mentioned in the Label on the left panel.
02:21 Now, let's open another audio file.
02:35 If there are 2 tracks then the audio is in STEREO. Again, this will be mentioned in the Label on the left panel.
02:45 To remove a track completely, select the track, click on Tracks tab and select Remove Tracks.
02:59 Alternately, delete tracks by clicking on the 'X' at the extreme left.

08:22 Move the cursor to the place where the audio segment needs to be moved,
08:31 click there and paste the audio segment.
08:33 This can be done with either the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V or the Paste button

10:34 To filter out disturbing background noises, select a portion on the track with the sample noise.
10:47 Remember to select a portion without voice. Now click on Effect >>
10:55 Noise Removal.
10:59 Click on Get Noise Profile.
11:02 This will identify the noise sample to be filtered.
11:06 Now, select the whole audio track by clicking anywhere on it.
11:11 Again, click on Effect >>
11:16 Noise Removal. Choose the Noise Reduction Level.
11:26 Use the lowest value that reduces the noise to an acceptable level.
11:31 Higher values will remove the noise completely but will result in distortion of the audio that remains.
11:37 Let's click OK.
11:44 It is advisable not to amplify the audio too much above the recommended value in the box because amplification also enhances background sounds.
11:54 Hisses and hums will become more prominent as well.
11:57 Save the project file regularly.
12:00: Finally, export the final project to the required audio format i.e. wav, mp3 and others.
