Audacity Tutorial

The Gobi Desert Canoe Club · March 19, 2010, 12:24:14 PM

Hi All, just had a quick look on You Tube for a tutorial on editing using Audacity and didn't find what I needed, in fact I'm not really sure what I needed. I bet someone on this site will have a web address that will be exactly what I need i.e. basic walk through from exporting from the BR900 into Audacity.
Oh yeah and if there's a button for making me sound brilliant I'd like that to.

get hold of the free BR wave converter, easy to use and it'll change your world!! You can import each track individually and use Audacity as a multitrack mixing tool - it's wicked!!

I haven't noticed any outstanding video tutorials but the online manual for the beta version (1.3.11) is quite good.

For exporting your tracks, you can do that directly from the BR-900 but I think the free BR Wave Converter is easier and faster. Once you have your tracks exported as WAV files, you can import them into Audacity by selecting File/Import/Audio.

For mixing, pull down the View menu and select Mixer Board. It will show a nice, big level meter for each of your tracks along with a pan control and level control. This makes mixing a breeze.
