🎙Cool Stuff For Audio Creators🎙

[brentwoodbuzz]

Well, as someone who learnt to edit audio with chinagraphs and razor blades this is a brilliant run through of how to use Audacity. I was utterly baffled trying to go through the manual on my own, and you have made it come alive and appear so simple. Thank you, and I leave with a flourish to go to the editing machine!

Can't thank you enough Mike, this video is all I needed to take the plunge. Simple and meaningful start to what has become a critical tool (Audacity) in the start of our Podcast. I watched a few videos in your series (starting with this one in particular) and they have been invaluable!

[Chronicler]

Dude this was *quite* helpful, plus you got to each of the points quickly, in a way I could follow easily, and explained things clearly. Subbed. I'll check out your other stuff. Thank you :)

I just got a quality microphone for audiobooks and this tutorial was simple and effective. Looking forward to more videos Mike!

[shaneyg]

Nice and quick, but covered everything.

Just started performing drag in my city and this is so helpful to making a good immersive number!! Thank you🙌

[K_carpediem]

Fantastic tutorial! As someone who is not very "techy" and felt somewhat intimidated by using Audacity - you distilled the information to make it very easy to follow. Great delivery as well, i.e., easy to follow, engaging and informative. Thank you!

[TheFamilyPetPodcast]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much.

[MindMamaMembership]

Such a helpful video! I was terrified to use Audacity before this and now I cant wait! Thank you so much

Audacity demystified in minutes. Excellent and appreciated. I'm baby-steps into content creation prioritizing the audio part (recorder/Mixpre, microphones et al) i.e. topics like working with time-sync'ed audio/video sequences, how to export audio and use with the recorded video sequences (ProRes) are not something I have seen much about in any hands-on video. Just a suggestion .. 🙂

THANKS! I just got off my butt and bought a new computer as well as an upgrade to my older computer. I plan on a joint podcast with a friend, and I just downloaded Audacity, installed it and the first thing I did was come find this channel. I LOVED IT! I liked and subscribed, so I'll be following. As I embark on this adventure I know I'll be needing the help!

[paulyortiz]
