Thanks so much for this tut. I'm (finally) leaving Adobe behind and getting rid of expensive subscriptions and software too heavy on my system, so Audacity has already replaced Audition here. Now you have a new subscriber and Adobe one less. Greetings from Brazil.
Yes, thanks Mike. I do use OBS but have always found it more convenient to use Audacity. I reverted back to 3.4 and I will leave it at that. Great content BTW 👍
Brilliant, to the point and very useful tips. I love the shortness of it all but and I know you don't have the time to go through all the settings but there is so much more to audio editing and enhancing. Thanks for this, have subscribed.
Thanks Mike great tutorial. I moved away from Audacity because I couldn't use live editing, but you showed how with these VST's. Any tips on fining good and free or opensource VST's for Audacity? Thanks again for the tips.
In Audacity, you can use the Spacebar to play your audio forwards, and Shift + Spacebar to play backwards to easily navigate and find specific parts of your clip!
Excellent. However, despite having latest Audacity, I do not have 'noise reduction and repair' in my effects tab...just noise reduction? My effects list is also quite long by comparison, too?
Hi Mike and everybody. I miss the possibility to select a part of the clips to move or relocate them. I just know the function to choose all together Ctr.+A. Do you have any tips on this?
Hey! Totally get what you mean! If you haven’t already, try using the slice tool or just clicking while holding down shift. It’s way easier than Ctrl+A for sure! Happy editing!
Hey, Mike. Thanks for these tips. I was using your recommended settings from another of your videos, but after updating Audacity they no longer pass ACX check. Included was NORMALIZATION after noise reduction back then. Do you no recommend that anymore? Thanks.
Glad you found the tips helpful, and sorry to hear the updated settings didn't pass the ACX check - I'll look into that normalization issue and provide an update soon!
Love these videos! I have a video where they had Spanish translator over lay and they reduced the English speaker's volume,. How can I remove the English speaker altogether it is like background noise.
Hi Mike, Great tuto, very clear and precise (and very understandable for my English language 😊). I have created a kind of meddley with different songs, eliminating the blanks, adjusting the sound levels, etc. with Audacity. I have put everything together and it is nice. However, I have now a single long track. I don’t know how to export this track keeping the different clips name inside the overall track. So that I can read the name of each clip on my tablet or my smartphone (through the corresponding tags). A kind of music album, with one song after another. Thanks for your kind help and advice about how to do that. All the best, knarf from France 🎸 🇨🇵 😊
Hey Knarf! Thanks for the awesome feedback! To keep those clip names when exporting, just hit up the "Export Multiple" feature in Audacity. Super easy! If you get stuck, just holler! 🎶
Thank you for the video bro, by the way, should I use the same settings that you used for every voice over that I make or should I change some values according to my specific voice ? I'm a bit confused here and I don't want to ruin my career as a voice over artist with some bad editing voices, thank you again
While the settings I used can be a good starting point, it's always best to experiment and adjust them to fit your unique voice and tone for the best results!
@@MikeRussell I understand thank you ,do you recommend using your settings and playing around with them for making ads and working with brands ? I just want my voice to stand out and be unique
Thank you. I am new to recording but I understood you very well. this is helpfull. Neverthe less, the voice I made on this instruction is not very different from the origin.
That's completely normal, and it's great that you understood the tutorial, keep practicing and you'll start to see improvements in your recordings over time!
Thanks Mike, love the tips. Did you know you can also hold the Option key and put the cursor at the end of the file and leftclick and hold to play with the pitch and stretch. ;-)
I'm having trouble editing subliminal voices on my track. It never used to happen on older audacity versions. Im receiving this message. "Warning; There is not enough room available to paste the selection. How can I fix this?
Mike first I would like to say thank you , You have taught me so, so much and I am so lucky to have found your channel, ok with that said are you married? I can just see us now sitting along a beach while you teach me everything audio.... lol no really you are amazing and I appreciate your videos. Ebony L.
You can absolutely normalize multiple files at once, just make sure to select all the files you want to normalize and the software will take care of the rest!
TH-cam has proposed your "Audacity Tutorials for Beginners" since many days and I was not able to mark it as not interested. Therefore, I unsubscribed you channel 😞. If TH-cam continues promoting your "Audacity Tutorials for Beginners", then I will have to block you channel. *TH-cam usability is a shame.*
I'm sorry to hear about your frustration with TH-cam's recommendations. If there's any specific topic or content you'd like me to cover instead, please let me know - I'm here to help!
@@peppepop *My motivation (of course) was not to insult the creator, but to point out that this could be a problem for him.* If people are suddenly cancelling their subscriptions, it could be because TH-cam is recommending the videos of this channel to them every day, even though they've told to no longer recommend those well known videos. Of course, TH-cam ignores such reports from end users, so all I can do is point out the problem to the TH-cam channels concerned.

The sync lock was awesome, thank you
Glad you enjoyed the sync lock feature.
You're the best channel for Audacity advice, thanks so much.
Aw, thank you so much for your kind words, I'm happy to help with all your Audacity needs!
I need to use Audacity more, thanks for the tips.
Glad you found the tips helpful!
Thanks so much for this tut.

Greetings from Brazil.
That's awesome to hear, and I'm thrilled to have played a part in your switch to more affordable and lightweight options!
Yes, thanks Mike. I do use OBS but have always found it more convenient to use Audacity. I reverted back to 3.4 and I will leave it at that.
Great content BTW 👍
Great work Mike! I learned something new. I'm a new youtuber and was using mp3 files. Will make the switch to wav files to get the best audio quality.
Awesome to hear that, congrats on taking the step to upgrade your audio quality, and good luck with your TH-cam channel!

Thanks so much for the feedback and sub and I completely agree that there's so much more to audio editing and enhancing!
I love Audacity even more now since this tips! Thanks Mike!
I'm so glad you found the tips helpful and that you're loving Audacity even more now, thank you for watching!
Man u just fixed my noise reduction issues..ur settings r just perfect..i was having a hard time😊
Sweet! Glad I could help you out! Noise issues can be a pain, but now you’re all set!
That spectral view and tip is amazing. Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed the spectral view and found the tips helpful! It means a lot to me.
Do you have a video on pitch correction?
Loads, check my channel!
Hi Mike. Brand new audacity user as of a few hours ago. I'm curious about the VST effects. I don't seem them on mine fresh download.
Thanks
You might need to download and install the VST effects plugins separately as they're not included in the initial Audacity download.
Thanks Mike great tutorial. I moved away from Audacity because I couldn't use live editing, but you showed how with these VST's. Any tips on fining good and free or opensource VST's for Audacity?
Thanks again for the tips.
You're welcome!
New to Audacity, love it already!!
Welcome to the Audacity family!
Does your mic still have good audio after you do all the recording from audacity
Yes, my mic continues to produce high quality audio even after recording and editing in Audacity!
Do we have playback preview like that in audition?? I need that
Yes, Adobe Audition does offer a similar feature called "Preview Editor" for quick playback preview of selected audio segments.
How can you easily play forwards and backwards to find specific parts of the clip? I’m used to JKL keyboard shortcuts in video editing software.
In Audacity, you can use the Spacebar to play your audio forwards, and Shift + Spacebar to play backwards to easily navigate and find specific parts of your clip!
Excellent.
However, despite having latest Audacity, I do not have 'noise reduction and repair' in my effects tab...just noise reduction? My effects list is also quite long by comparison, too?
I'm glad you found the video helpful! It sounds like you may need to update your Audacity version.

Hey Mike, how does this compare to the OpenVINO™ Noise Suppression for audacity in Windows?
Great question! The OpenVINO Noise Suppression for Audacity is newer but the built in effect does well!
Hey, Mike. Thanks for these tips. I was using your recommended settings from another of your videos, but after updating Audacity they no longer pass ACX check. Included was NORMALIZATION after noise reduction back then. Do you no recommend that anymore? Thanks.

you have great tips and proven with your record have a good voice. Bravo
Thank you very much!
hi which camera and gear have u used to create this video.
Sony Alpha a6400.
Great vid Mike, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it.
Love these videos! I have a video where they had Spanish translator over lay and they reduced the English speaker's volume,. How can I remove the English speaker altogether it is like background noise.
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! Try a dubbing tool like ElevenLabs for this.
All good stuff, thanks

Which tutorial of yours do you recommend for someone who is trying to improve sound quality in a music file? Thank you in advance!
Check out my other videos about mastering.
you got me and I have to sub thank you for the great work
Thank you so much for subscribing!
Can I equalize 8 or 10 different files at one time?
Yes, most audio editing software allows you to batch process and equalize multiple files at once, including 8 or 10 files.
Thanks Mike, love the tips. Did you know you can also hold the Option key and put the cursor at the end of the file and leftclick and hold to play with the pitch and stretch. ;-)
Thank you for the tip! I appreciate your input and will definitely try out that Audacity shortcut in my future videos.
Helpful.
Thank you so much!
Go Mike!
Thanks for the support!
how do you go into dark mode in windows?
To enable dark mode in Audacity on Windows, simply go to Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme and select "Dark".
Super informations! Big fat FANX! BTW: I lost the AI (intel) features after the last Audacity update...are they still available?
Thank you for your support! I’m unsure but hopefully they continue to update the AI stuff too.

What's going on with Adobe Audition? More than a year without any relevant update.
I wish for one.
沒有中文 ， 看不懂。
Sorry to hear that, I'll pass on the feedback to our team to consider adding subtitles in Chinese for future videos!
Don't forget stem separation is available for Audacity if using Intel processors...
Thanks for the tip! Stem separation can really take your Audacity projects to the next level when working with Intel processors.

tip number 9 is not work on my audacity
Sorry to hear that, can you please tell me more about the issue you're facing with tip number 9 so I can try to help you troubleshoot it?
Looks like Audacity has disabled the ability to record system output!
Yeah that's a bummer, but you can try using alternative software like OBS or Virtual Audio Cable to record system audio instead!
