WORKSHOP: Introduction to audio editing with Audacity

This workshop introduces the essential audio editing functionality of Audacity to attendees interested in distributing their creative and scholarly work through audio. Through demonstration and hands-on practice, attendees will learn how to cut audio, how to normalize volume, how to add music tracks, how to adjust timing, reduce or remove background noise, create fade outs, and more. No prior audio editing experience is required to attend. Participants should have their own laptop with Audacity already installed. Participants are welcome to use their own audio files, however, audio files will also be shared with workshop attendees to facilitate hands-on practice. Audacity is an open source software program. You are strongly encourage to read the full user agreement and user privacy statement before downloading Audacity.
