How to create audio using
AudacityBy 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!
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

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.
Submit to itunes
Once you have started creating audio using audacity take the time to add it to itunes because it
will be one of the easiest ways for people to connect with you.
Once you have started creating audios you can also add them to your blog and think about transcribing them so
people have something to read as well
(extra work I know but it can be worth it depending on what you do and who you are reaching out to
online)
The video below will show you how to add audio to your blog.
