Comprehensive Audacity tutorial (for beginners) + tips & tricks - Ep. 05
How do you use Audacity? What are discontinuities in audio and zero-crossings? What is a spectrogram? (Download link further below) ***NOTE***: Audacity has had some updates since I made this video. Some changes are:
• Input and output devices are now in a button at the top called "Audio Setup", as "Recording devices" and "Playback devices" respectively
• Project sample rate is now under "Audio Setup", then "Audio Settings"
• The recording and playback monitors have been combined with the recording and playback level sliders, respectively
• To change the time display from "Start and End" to "Start and Length", you now click on a gear button
• "Add/Remove plug-ins" is renamed to "Plugin manager"
