How to create audio using Audacity By Diane Corriette

This page will show you how to create audio using audacity. It really is easy (once you know what to do). Below are the steps you need to download and install audacity, then how to record/edit your audio.

You can easily create audios that you use as a podcast or on your website. If you find them useful feel free to vote/comment over at youtube. Thanks!

Download Audacity

To save mp3 files you will also need to download and install the LAME MP3 encoder 

Which microphone should you use?

When I first started creating audios using audacity I had a plain £30 microsoft headphone with microphone. It was basic but it sounded okay, not great, the background was like being in an empty hall!

When that broke (that was my third headphone/mic set) I decided to look for a separate mic and chose the Samson C01U USB Condenser Microphone. I picked mine up at Amazon because it had the best price.

It is a fabulous microphone and I love using it now. I can be picked up quite far away so sometimes on webinars I am not always sat at in my chair and people still hear me okay (I like to stand and walk around - helps the circulation!)

The first of these elearning videos will show you how to download and install audacity, the second will show you how to edit files using audacity.

This video will show you how to edit your audio when you need to edit recordings

 

Using audio in your local marketing plan

Audio is a great way to stay in touch with people, provide entertaining interviews/elessons and provide information to your target market.

You can create audio and add it to your site or blog and you can add it to audio sharing sites (known as podcasts) which are full of visitors looking for great information.
