I’m a terrible student so I’m a skimmer. But I love your tutorials, just the quick skipping around I’ve done has improved my sound recording 10000%. The world is crazy nowadays, but excited to sit down and really absorb everything. You’ve got a fan here!!! Stay well ❤️
@VoiceOverMaster This was exactly what I needed. I had no idea how easy could be. ONE SUGGESTION THOUGH JOSH!!! Please HIGHLIGHT your mouse or make it bigger. Because it's the same color as the APP, many times I couldn't see where you were pointing to. I had to re watch 3-4 times to follow your cursor. Most people use a "highlighter" around their cursor. You and many others will thank me.
You do not need to have your mic or audio interface plugged in, prior to starting Audacity. Select TRANSPORT and Rescan Audio Devices if you fired it up without plugging in or you unplug after it's running.
whats the final word on the work flow? i'm kind of confused based on different things you've said in past videos what is your current reccomendation on work order? (what order you do things like noise reduction, noise gate, compression, eq, loudness normalization, limiter, etc
Thank you very much! This is great. I have to say that you lost me right after the Filter Curve EQ. The jumping around from 50:30 - 54:00 just made my head spin...
Totally Confused...just downloades Audacity 3.2.2 for Window's I do not have the same tool bars you have...even if I add all the additional toolbars I do not have your interlace setup.I only have the Frist row of yours showing with different tool section. Not sure why mine is different.
Nothing about the spectropram? I use it every day in Audacity and working with audio editing. It gives you so much more visual information about your audio. Good video though.
I feel like I am either insane or on my way there. I am stuck. My peaks are too compressed or low (-10dBz usually), but if I amplify my peaks, the RMS becomes too noisy. All of the advice I see is when your peaks are too high and the RMS is low, but I do not see much for the opposite circumstance. I have this same problem on all 8 of my recordings, so I know that it is my fault, but I am following every instruction.
If I could offer some input: Shorten your titles. As I’m scrolling through trying to find a video that fits my dilemma, all I see is audacity multiple times and 2022. I have to click into each indivudal video to see what the video is about. I scrolled by most
Sorry for the loss of your grandfather. Your video was really helpful to me. However, I may have missed it but is there a reason you left your audio in mono? Some people recommend turning it into stereo. Just wondering.
Hi. Any chance of you doing a more unto date tutorial, Im new to Audacity and have just downloaded Audacity version 3.2.1 and find that it is very different to your tutorial based on I believe 3.1.3, albeit only 10 months ago. Having said that I do like the pace of this tutorial and clear and precise instructions, if only I could relate them to 3.2.1. I really appreciate the time and effort you have put in to it.
It’s depends on what you’re doing… I’ve been designing custom EQs around compression or loudness normalization… meaning EQ after. You can see everything I’m doing so the steps are there🤙
Whats your opinion on the El Gato Wave 3 mic? That is what I already have. It was $150 bought it like 6 months ago and I’m hoping it’s good enough. Maybe Blue Ember is still better or the AT 2020?
When I downloaded audacity and tried importing a MP3 file, it said that it didn't recognize that MP3 was a file type. It then told me to FFmpeg. This happens with MP3, but not .wav files What do I do?
You explain things so precisely. I have been looking at many videos on how to use DAWs, I’m using Reaper, but I haven’t really mastered it. You make me wanna switch to Audacity. I really love the video you did, Ultimate Guide for Narrators and Podcasters. I’m hooked your program. Thanks for sharing.
really good stuff, I learned a lot, I am forever thankful! But, too much emphasis on making a commercial...how many times did I listen to a 15 second clip of a commercial? Just record five seconds of voice then do your stuff. Would have saved a ton of time!
Okay it looks like you reply to some of your fans so I'm going to go ahead and subscribe just in case I have a question. Plus I'm going to hit the bell. I do use audacity I don't Know every trick in the book with it but I certainly would love to learn it more than I know. Thanks. Keith
What a brilliant video, thanks for sharing all this information, you are right, generally, it is all over the place but this IS nicely packaged. I really appreciate it...:)
I had to search youtube like three times to get your beautiful face pop up, I forgot to subscribe last time. Luckily I found you on the third attempt using 'compression tuning audacity' cause I know you're good at voice compression.
I am curious. I've used audacity for quite a few years and I was just wondering how can they produce this or make this free to us ? I do love audacity.. Keith
Thumbs way up. I'm so blessed by your intuitve show and tell production schemes ... using this now-excellent free platform! Ctrl + R seemed well employed! You also dove into mics, EQ theory, envelopes for voice overs, many fxs, and sibs ... treating each with merciless keystrokes of love...imho. Utmost blessings!
I have a Rode NT-USB Mic. When I’m in Audacity, I hear a terrible echo when I speak. I’m on a MacBook Air. And just cannot figure out how to stop the echo. I don’t have the issue in Garageband. But it’s overwhelming in Audacity. PLEASE HELP!😩😩
I have an EVO 4 Audio interface with a Shure SM58LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone, and I can't get anything to work with this setup. I'm sure it's user error, have watched every video I can find, but I can't get anything working. Any help would be immensely appreciated.
I really really appreciate your lesson , it worths a lot and thanks for transferring your valuable knowledge , I got all the answers that was swimming in my mind , thanks so much ! by the way your voice is extra ordinary, you are on the right spot !!!!
Josh I'm SO confused! I just upgraded my PC and installed the latest version of Audacity...and wish I hadn't. A lot of changes were made with absolutely no explanation regarding features that used to be one place, and now they scattered all over. I'd rater have the older version back. Here's my delemma: When selecting a portion of a track, Audacity is only letting me select on the time/seconds mark. For instance, I can select 5.5 to 5.7 -- but I need it to go from 5.5 to a between 5.6 and 5,7 - but instead of doing that, It jumps all the way up to 5.8. So...there is NO WAY to select a exact part of a track. In the older version I could select any selection I wanted...but no more. Is this an Audacity Setting that can be changed - like changing to a "free selection" which would allow me to select exactly what I'm trying to select. No more, no less. Can anybody help me out here? Hopefully it's a simple setting that's easy to change. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
Josh,..hello,..I just happened upon this and I have it bookmarked to really follow closely and attentively tonight when I have some quiet time. I do have another question to ask though and this is pertaining to microphones. I've recently acquired a new mic for myself and it is called the Electro-Voice RE20. I've been told that it is a wonderful microphone but I'm really anxious about using it because I'm uncertain as to what I need to plug it into (Interface) before it reaches my PC. There are so many out there and I really do not want some overly complicated box with a million settings but yet I want to get one that will still compliment the microphone well. Would you have any recommendations that would serve me well without breaking the bank or my brain??? Thoughts on the Scarlett 3rd gen usb?Help!!!! Thanks for any advice around this.
How do you record a second audio track while listening to the first? I clicked Track-->Add New. The new track appears, I select it, but I can't "engage" it. I hit record and nothing happens. Overdub is enabled in Transport Options, Overdub and Record on a new track are both checked in Recording Preferences and Software Playthrough is unchecked. And I can hear myself in the mic while just playing the first audio track so I know that configuration is correct.
I connect my M audio interface...wen i record it's perfect wen i play music track it's perfect...but i can't listen live and record my voice over a music track...any help? P.s i changed all settings for overdub explained... But same works hm good for usb input same dynamic mic
Why does the playhead disappear when I pause? There's a part of a sing where I want to just focus on. But idk what millisecond it is. I want to be able to go back and forth, millisecond by millisecond, listening. I'm referring to Adobe Premiere Pro.
is there anywa6 you could build an eq, limiter and compressor. presets for Final Cut Pro? we used the CRL system on FZm100 in Memphis back in the 80's.
Compressor: Shrinks dynamic range by turning loud stuff down Limiter: Prevents audio from peaking above a user-defined limit Normalize: Turns the entire clip up or down until the loudest peak hits a user-defined level
Great video. Still watching. I've been using Audacity for a long time and I just upgraded to 3.2.1. Where did you get that ACX button in the Analyze tab?
Love the recording but I got lost as to what order to use the tools. we are making guided meditations and I am not sure if I adjust EQ first, ACX, Loudness Normalization, Compression, or some different order. Sorry but I am new to this and just trying to figure out the best order to follow. Any comments are very much appreciated.
Thank you dude! I sounded like two bears fighting over a salmon for following alot of random peoples advice with the bass and treble boost. Now i sound like Morgan Freeman after he just made out with Jesus.
Hello! I have a specific question. When i record my first podcast there was noises in the background and i tried to remove it with effect - noise reduction. The first setting for dB to not hear it i tap 17, but the volume is quiet, it mutes my volume quite a bit and I don't know how to remove the noise without reducing my volume so much.
how can i bring up the decibel level over 89 to over 290 with talking about the power behind the wave and not change any of the frequency in the sound track? Yes i am working with standing waves and ultrasonics in my track that i generated ever frequency for.
Amazing video, I appreciate all the advice and tips. I just started recording and this has helped tremendously! I have quite a bit of work to do but you've cut so much of the learning process down thank you so much. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I'm new to podcasting this has been really helpful will need to watch it a few time I'm 60 years old so it will take a but of time for it all to sink in 😂 Thank you so much your brill.
Topic requests from a longtime sub, in depth: - plot spectrum - spectogram - where sounds sit in frequencies, I.e. fullness around 250hz, edge around 4k, etc - EQ sweeping the Audacity way since you can't sweep really like you can in a DAW - how Audacity compares to DAWs, since it is literally like no other UI ❤
Great ideas. I’ll consider them! I actually have a course on custom eq creation. I think you’d love it. Reach out if you’re interested. There’s also a buy now link in the description.
IDK if youll get this but im super serious about this i have done voices my whole life and can mimic anything. i can do cleveland and spongebob, hank hill and any accent or dialect. im in process of building a pc so i can edit my own videos i wanna make my own cartoons like seth mcfarland. i can do more voices than him too lol. i can do more voices than most any voice actor i just need to get my foot in the door lol
I really need your help on an issue I seem to have. I'm trying to record audio into audacity with my phone. But, I seem to screw it up every time and I'm not sure what in the world I'm doing wrong.
12:26 saying that you always select mono because audacity now has joint stereo is rather inaccurate, don't you think? i can't quite put my finger on what you're trying to say here.
they just did an update and some of the tools I use regularly I can not find, so I need to know how to find them or use a different tool to do the same thing I was doing
Hiya i cant get the sound to work on this video ! My settings volume are on, so i guess i better return later to be able to utilise the information on audacity 2022.

Emon! You’re the man buddy! Thanks so much for helping me with the time stamps my friend🙏
@@VoiceOverMaster of course. You got the JUICE!
@@platinumuranium Very true! Haha you’re the man Emon!
Hello can you tell me what should I do if I can’t hear anything when talking into my microphone?? I have a rode microphone and interface.
Yeah, he taught me a lot. Not just in this video, but many times before.
This has been some of the most comprehensive and practical info I've received on Audacity. Thanks very much, Josh! Cheers, dude.👍
Thanks so much for the comment Jason! I appreciate the kind words buddy

Subscribed a beginner using audacity. Don't know what heck I am doing . Lol
I am trying tho.
Hi there, thanks for this tutorial. It took me a few days to complete the tutorial but it was worth it. I learned a lot through this tutorial.
Thank you so much for making this available for free, I am an absolute beginner at audio recording, this was ALL I needed to get started.
whats the final word on the work flow? i'm kind of confused based on different things you've said in past videos what is your current reccomendation on work order? (what order you do things like noise reduction, noise gate, compression, eq, loudness normalization, limiter, etc
Can I use Audacity with Chromebook?
The notepad gives a 2011 TH-cam tutorials vibe. Again a nice tutorial ;)
Hahaha love it! Thanks for the comment😊🤙
Your voice is so low, yet high, so monotone, yet pitched. You, sir, don't use an audio editor; you are the audio editor.
Great tutorial tho
Thank you very much! This is great. I have to say that you lost me right after the Filter Curve EQ. The jumping around from 50:30 - 54:00 just made my head spin...
dude spent 30 minutes trying to sell a mic to us. damn man get the point. he has valuable info but he tends to have a lot of bs in between it
Totally Confused...just downloades Audacity 3.2.2 for Window's I do not have the same tool bars you have...even if I add all the additional toolbars I do not have your interlace setup.I only have the Frist row of yours showing with different tool section. Not sure why mine is different.
They came out with a new version. I’ll be making a new video very soon
Nothing about the spectropram? I use it every day in Audacity and working with audio editing. It gives you so much more visual information about your audio. Good video though.
I would love you to share what you know about the spectrogram. Please upload a video and then reply with the link. :-)
The best tutorial !!! 😅 see you very soon
you are the man..... thank you... this has help me out especially being on a financial budget at the moment...
You’re welcome Kris!!
I am having trouble downloading spit fish into windows 10, do you know of any problems?
I don’t use spit fish. Good luck!
I feel like I am either insane or on my way there. I am stuck. My peaks are too compressed or low (-10dBz usually), but if I amplify my peaks, the RMS becomes too noisy.

Have a like, you earned it!
hey man,do you know how to make GOOD instrumentals?
I’m not a beat maker. Good luck buddy
Sorry for the loss of your grandfather. Your video was really helpful to me. However, I may have missed it but is there a reason you left your audio in mono? Some people recommend turning it into stereo. Just wondering.
It’s because when we export we now have the option for joint stereo… meaning we no longer have to make a stereo track and the file is half the size.
Hi. Any chance of you doing a more unto date tutorial, Im new to Audacity and have just downloaded Audacity version 3.2.1 and find that it is very different to your tutorial based on I believe 3.1.3, albeit only 10 months ago. Having said that I do like the pace of this tutorial and clear and precise instructions, if only I could relate them to 3.2.1. I really appreciate the time and effort you have put in to it.
Yup! I’m doing a new tutorial in the next week or 2
I appreciate your ear so much!
Thanks for sharing your hard-earned experience.
You’re welcome John! Thanks for the kind words buddy!🙏
For the music... normalise at about -12db.. tis perfect?
Thanks for the comment😊
Okay so maybe I missed it, but is there a certain order that the effects should be used?
It’s depends on what you’re doing… I’ve been designing custom EQs around compression or loudness normalization… meaning EQ after. You
can see everything I’m doing so the steps are there🤙
Recent Audacity changes has been terrible.
Just curious as to what changes you dislike. I may be able to pass that on to the audacity team if it holds water.
Whats your opinion on the El Gato Wave 3 mic? That is what I already have. It was $150 bought it like 6 months ago and I’m hoping it’s good enough. Maybe Blue Ember is still better or the AT 2020?
I’ve never used the el gato so it’s hard to say. The ember is a steal though and a great mic.
When I downloaded audacity and tried importing a MP3 file, it said that it didn't recognize that MP3 was a file type.
It then told me to FFmpeg. This happens with MP3, but not .wav files
What do I do?
That should not happen with mp3. Get the ffmpeg though! You’ll be able to import movie files
You explain things so precisely. I have been looking at many videos on how to use DAWs, I’m using Reaper, but I haven’t really mastered it. You make me wanna switch to Audacity. I really love the video you did, Ultimate Guide for Narrators and Podcasters. I’m hooked your program. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Burt!
Do you think the Samson satellite microphone is better option than the the meteor mic?
I haven’t used the satellite but I’m inclined to say it may have a small edge over the meteor. Good luck!
I have a macbook pro + a blue yeti. Do I need any other cords aside from the USB that the blue yeti came with to enhance my sound? Thanks!
Cords won’t enhance the sound. Only EQ, different equipment, and treating room for sound. 😊
@@VoiceOverMaster Thanks for your reply! Appreciate it!
I definitely going to look at this several times. You have helped me so much already. And I'm using your EQ.
That’s awesome Steve! So glad I’ve been able to help you buddy! Definitely finish the tutorial. There’s a ton of value in here🤙
really good stuff, I learned a lot, I am forever thankful! But, too much emphasis on making a commercial...how many times did I listen to a 15 second clip of a commercial? Just record five seconds of voice then do your stuff. Would have saved a ton of time!
Would you know why blackhole isn't coming up as a recording input on my Mac? Trying to capture desktop audio.
Okay it looks like you reply to some of your fans so I'm going to go ahead and subscribe just in case I have a question.
Plus I'm going to hit the bell.
I do use audacity I don't
Know every trick in the book with it but I certainly would love to learn it more than I know.

Why does the playhead disappear when I pause? There's a part of a sing where I want to just focus on. But idk what millisecond it is. I want to be able to go back and forth, millisecond by millisecond, listening.

Compressor: Shrinks dynamic range by turning loud stuff down
Limiter: Prevents audio from peaking above a user-defined limit
Normalize: Turns the entire clip up or down until the loudest peak hits a user-defined level
When I downloaded Audacity, my setup screen looks different than yours?! Different version?!
Great video. Still watching. I've been using Audacity for a long time and I just upgraded to 3.2.1.
Where did you get that ACX button in the Analyze tab?
Too bad you can't properly adjust your audio levels!
Expert? Sure... right!
Night and day in my recordings thanks to this tutorial. Thank you, Josh.
Amazing video, thank you so much Josh.
Love the recording but I got lost as to what order to use the tools. we are making guided meditations and I am not sure if I adjust EQ first, ACX, Loudness Normalization, Compression, or some different order. Sorry but I am new to this and just trying to figure out the best order to follow. Any comments are very much appreciated.
One of the best tutorial I found on audacity.. It's mean alot to me sir. Love from India
Thank you dude! I sounded like two bears fighting over a salmon for following alot of random peoples advice with the bass and treble boost. Now i sound like Morgan Freeman after he just made out with Jesus.

I appreciate the part about Sibliants, but do you have any advice on how to handle syblings?
how can i bring up the decibel level over 89 to over 290 with talking about the power behind the wave and not change any of the frequency in the sound track? Yes i am working with standing waves and ultrasonics in my track that i generated ever frequency for.
I do Online Radio. Does Audacity need to be configured for VO's everytime I do a two hour Radio Show?
Amazing video, I appreciate all the advice and tips. I just started recording and this has helped tremendously! I have quite a bit of work to do but you've cut so much of the learning process down thank you so much. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
47:00 What about consonants? Won't cutting those high frequencies, on some situation, making speech less intelligible? Thanks!
Awesome!! so glad to find someone who knows what they’re talking about
Is silence the same as delete?
Nope
Aww. Thanks so much Loretta! I appreciate you 😊❤️
My audacity version 3.0 will not record in Windows direct sound but only Wasapi. Very strange 🤔
This was super helpful and packed with tips that would have taken me months to discover on my own. Thanks very much!
Nice video.. Very informative! Thank you ..
Why you stopped making videos Man.. hope you are doing well
Thank you Sir for the very informative tutorial, a big learning curve with connected mics and head phones to record some songs
I'm new to podcasting this has been really helpful will need to watch it a few time I'm 60 years old so it will take a but of time for it all to sink in 😂 Thank you so much your brill.
You’re so very welcome Jeanette!😊. You’ve got this💪
This has been incredibly helpful, and as a new VO I've learned a lot! Thank you for your teachings and expertise
Does Audacity have a newer version of ACX Check. I found one but was unable to get it downloaded and added to the latest version of Audacity.
is there anyway you could do compression, limiting and EQ in Final Cut Prp.
Topic requests from a longtime sub, in depth:
- plot spectrum
- spectogram
- where sounds sit in frequencies, I.e. fullness around 250hz, edge around 4k, etc
- EQ sweeping the Audacity way since you can't sweep really like you can in a DAW
- how Audacity compares to DAWs, since it is literally like no other UI
❤
Great ideas. I’ll consider them! I actually have a course on custom eq creation. I think you’d love it. Reach out if you’re interested. There’s also a buy now link in the description.
IDK if youll get this but im super serious about this i have done voices my whole life and can mimic anything. i can do cleveland and spongebob, hank hill and any accent or dialect. im in process of building a pc so i can edit my own videos i wanna make my own cartoons like seth mcfarland. i can do more voices than him too lol. i can do more voices than most any voice actor i just need to get my foot in the door lol
I am a retired teacher of English, etc. You are veryyyyyy good at teaching in manner easy to follow!!
I really need your help on an issue I seem to have. I'm trying to record audio into audacity with my phone. But, I seem to screw it up every time and I'm not sure what in the world I'm doing wrong.
your mic level is low, I feel like I am watching youtube in 2006.
12:26 saying that you always select mono because audacity now has joint stereo is rather inaccurate, don't you think? i can't quite put my finger on what you're trying to say here.
they just did an update and some of the tools I use regularly I can not find, so I need to know how to find them or use a different tool to do the same thing I was doing
I enjoyed your tutorial however I just went out and bought a Harley Davidson which I had no use for.
Awesome tutorial, I will watch this video over and over until I master audacity.
why windows direct sound when everyone else picks the old reliable MME? just curious
Yikes really long man it's going to take me a few days and a miracle to get through this! lol
Hiya i cant get the sound to work on this video ! My settings volume are on, so i guess i better return later to be able to utilise the information on audacity 2022.
It's actually pretty inspirational listening to it over & over and seeing the tedious dedication process. Great video👍🏾
Thanks for tutorial, Now I can finally ditch Audition
ERROR OPENING RECORDING DEVICE. ERROR CODE 9999 UNANITICIPATED HOST ERROR. WHAT DOES THA MEAN YEAH???
How do I put a tap in click in front of an imported MP3 file, so I know when to start playing?
Can you do a Audacity 3.2.4 lol half the stuff you showed to change i cant find :)
was gonna buy his course until he showed me the add with Simion that. So now I'm glad I saw that because I could immediately tell that its bs
