- In this video, I'll teach you how to record and edit a podcast in Audacity so that you can create a professional sounding podcast episode.
Audacity works for both MAC and PC users, and can be downloaded for free here:

For MAC users, if you want something more MAC-like in experience, try using Garageband. It's also free and is likely on your computer already. Here's a full tutorial for how to use Garageband that will help you:

In this tutorial, I walk you through all the simple steps you need to take in order to make this simple, especially moving forward after you get a few episodes under your podcasting belt.

Can't thank you enough, I've watched this several times and finally got a little recording down! You are amazing! If you can teach this ol girl from the technically challenged generation, you deserve amazing!!
It was awesome. actually I was afraid of the tech part of it, but he made it soooo easy.
hi
You and me girl. I get scared of anything technical. I actually bought a course on podcasting before watching this and I must say I learned some things I didn't learn from the other course. And Pat has a way of making things easier to understand. Editing my own podcast still scares me but I guess we'll eventually get used to it like they say. I wish I didn't have to bother myself with this technical side of things.

Yes should be pinned
But the viewing time is tied to absence etc. Stuff that impacts how much tubers make on their posts
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
Thank you! This will be super useful for referencing this video!!
I can't believe you had the audacity to post a video like this. Wonderful ... as always.
John Pullum I get the joke
smooth
😂🤣🤣
Brilliant Dad joke
Nice one!
This was exactly what I was looking for! I love how you get right to it and don't waste a ton of time just talking. My Audacity skill just got a huge boost. My podcast is much better off now! Thanks again!
I am blown away by how easy this was. I avoided doing my dream podcast because I thought I’d take a nasty mess to edit. Thank you so much!!!!! I owe you. :) so happy
Watched this years ago and finally back as we've got the first three episodes of our podcast recorded so it's editing day! Thanks for this tutorial Pat, it's saved so much grief and swearing later!
I'm planning to create a podcast where I do overviews of my most favorite show, The X-files. I lnow there are a lot out there but i mostly want to do it for myself and if people love it, thats a bonus. I'm learning a lot from your videos.
I'm the same. Not x files but hoping to do three twenty minute pods a week. One just being a little bit of a moan or take on news. One about football (Manchester United) and a final one about retro raw(wrestling) review. All subjects that have many big podcasts about already but I just wanna give it a shot. I hope your podcast goes well. Point being who cares if there's loads out there, none are yours and it will be special for you. Best of luck and wishing you success.
wow! thank you, you've made something that looks sooooo complicated seem sooooo simple, made my first podcast jingle yesterday and its gone down really well, thank you.
Great tutorial Pat!
I'd like to add a tip for editing a podcast in Audacity. In the top right corner there is a small green button and right next to it you can adjust the playback speed. When editing I usually speed up the playback to 1.70x-1.80x. This allows me to speed up the playback while editing and saves me lots of time. Also this function does not alter your final file in any way and the software exports the file at regular speed.
Oh man this is huge, editing always takes 2-3 times longer than the actual length of the episode. Thanks!
I am happy to hear you liked this tip :)
Thanks broski x
Can't imagine any course being clearer or more helpful. Thanks a million!
This is the best tutorial on Audacity I've seen so far.
Pat, you are such a gifted teacher and clear communicator. Thanks for posting this.
What a phenomenal job! You made this so easy and now I a will be ready to start using this program. Thank you!
Pat, thank you so much for putting this tutorial out there! I have been procrastinating starting a podcast because the tech was overwhelming to me but you broke it all down in this mini series and made it super easy to so. I just recorded my first set of podcasts so thank you very much! :D
Very rarely do I click on a simple how-to video and it actually be simple and informative at the same time. 2 thumbs up
Praise. This was one of the smoothest tutorials I've ever seen. So easy to understand. Thank you so much.
Pat, thank you so much for all the work you do. You help thousands of people to push the envelope and overcome the fear of starting to act. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this! We are new to recording although I used to be sound tech for a Vineyard church years ago. My husband will be recording for a radio show and your pointers are invaluable! Now to find a royalty free music clip and we'll be all set.
I'm really appreciative how detailed you are explaining all areas. Very helpful
Love this! Thank you so much, Pat! I have been listening to you for a long time now and you have been SO generous. Really appreciate you!
Thank you Pat!!! This video TRULY allowed me to record and edit audio for an online course I'm developing. Soooo grateful!
It's absolutely amazing that you're able to squeeze these many basic tips in such a short time to start using Audacity. Wow, can't thank you enough👍👍🙏
I just wanted to say Thank You for all the great tutorials. I'm not a computer guy but have been wanting to host a Podcast for the past couple years now and didn't know how to get started. Your videos have been extremely helpful
Thank you Pat! This saved me probably 5 hours if I tried finding out all this stuff on my own on audacity. Great content. I've subscribed to your channel now!
Pat, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this tutorial. It was very practical and fast forwarded my learning on Audacity. I was over here dreading learning a new software and so have been avoiding it! Thanks to you, I can level up my podcast with little effort!
Hi Pat! Watched your podcast for the first time today and I subscribed!! Thanks to you I purchased the Audio Technica AT2020USB+ bundle to use for my podcasts. I should receive it by July 12th. I’m so excited!! Thank you!! Keep rocking!!!
Thank you so much Pat! My Entertainment Journalism teacher has given the assignment of creating a podcast and this video has indeed helped a lot. Lots of love!
This was perfect for my needs. I have been searching for an easy to understand video about editing within Audacity. Thank You !
My favorite part is when he says "...we're gonna be talking about this and that and also that."
This was absolutely perfect. Exactly what I needed to get started. Thank you !!!!!
I learned more about Audacity in this 20 min video than I’ve learned just playing with it on my own over like 3 years! Thank you so much! I subscribed and when I’m ready I will take the 3 day class on your website! I’m excited to start my own show! Thanks again!
Thank you a billion times over for this! So incredibly helpful and easy to understand!!
Everything has worked flawless, thank you
Pat, this tutorial is Gold. Thank you for posting.

Amazing- been looking for a while for a tutorial ! Thanks!
Very well explained and down to earth. Can't wait to start to the 3 day course now. Thanks
Fantastic! I'd already recorded my first episode, but this helped with those few things I couldn't figure out like fading of the music track and stuff. Such a huge help!
Very helpful! Appreciate how you explained everything. Perfect for a novice.
Super duper helpful! Can't wait to start podcasting. Thanks for the video!
Pat, as always, a treasure trove of USEFUL info. Just got Audacity and I was a bit confused (that's putting it lightly!) on how to use the basic editing tools. Tks again for this GREAT video. Saludos!
Just the thing I was looking for. Wasn't quite clear to me how to make the music start before the actual talking part, but now it is! Also found the info on the volume tool (forgot the real name😂) very useful. Thank you so much!
Perfectly paced, thank you!
Thank you! You just solved 80% of frustrations with editing audio for my podcast

Thanks Pat. This is very helpful for me who just discovered Audacity.
what a great tutorial! I actually downloaded Audacity first, and then created an audio file, added music, right along with you as I watched your video in the other screen. Sounded good even with just my laptop mike. Just ordered the 2100 mike you recommended and accessories, and can't wait to get started podcasting.
I'm glad it helped you! Thanks so much!
