    When applied to a single stereo track or to multiple tracks, Amplify shows the amplification needed to maximize the volume of the loudest track or channel and will apply that amount of amplification to all selected tracks and/or channels. In this way, Amplify preserves the relative volumes of the selected tracks and/or channels.

    This is different from the Normalize effect which maximizes the volume of each track independently and can be optionally set to maximize the volume of each channel independently. For a full discussion of the differences, see Amplify and Normalize. @@ -121,14 +121,15 @@

    Update Audacity

    Audacity checks for updates to see if a new update of Audacity is available, it pops up a dialog informing you if and when an updated version of Audacity is available.

    This is done on launch and then after every 12 hours while Audacity is open.

    This is not an automatic update, update does not happen without you choosing to do so.

    Apply Macro to Project

    -

    The typical purpose of this option is effect automation - apply a sequence of effects to the project, using effect parameters and an order of applying the effects that you have found to work well for the type of audio you are processing. This saves time and provides consistency in your workflow. -

    Use the Project button to apply the selected Macro to the current project. -

    The effects in the Macro are applied to the selected region of waveform in the selected audio tracks. -

    Usually the selected Macro for use on Projects would not include the export audio command so as to use the greater flexibility of the Export Audio Dialog. -

    -

    Exported audio

    - -

    If an export command is included in the Macro, the entire project audio is exported irrespective of track or region selection. Therefore if the project contains multiple audio tracks, they will be mixed together, unless any of the tracks are muted on the Track Control Panel. -

    The exported files will be saved in a folder named "macro-output" in the folder specified in the Macro output field in Directories Preferences. See Macro output below. -

    - -
    - - - - -
    Tip -Macros will work on pre-existing selections you make in your project prior to running the Macro. -
    • But the selection can be over-ridden by your Macro itself as there are macro commands available to effect selections in the audio.
    • -
    • In particular Select All will select the entire project and
    • -
    • Select which is parameterizable (see the provided Fade Ends Macro for an example where the first and last one seconds of the audio are selected for the fades).

    -

    -

    Apply Macro to Files

    -

    The typical purpose of this option is batch processing - apply the Macro to multiple audio files so as to apply one or more effects to them, and/or convert them to another file format. You can convert from any file format supported by Audacity to WAV, MP3, OGG or FLAC. -

    -
    +
    -
    Advice The selected Macro must include an Export step, otherwise the processed audio will not be retained. -
    -

    Use the Files button to apply the selected Macro to selected external audio files that are in a single directory. -

    -
    1. A standard File Open dialog box will appear. Choose a directory then you can select one or any number of supported audio files in that directory, including older AUP project files (but not AUP3 project files). -
      • You cannot select files outside that directory, and files in folders inside that directory will not be processed.
      • -
      • It is convenient therefore to first put all the audio files you want to process into one folder before applying the Macro.
    2. -
    3. After selecting the audio files you want to process, choose Open.
    4. -
    5. Each file will be imported into Audacity and processed, exported to the format you chose in the Macro, then the processed audio will be removed so as to clear the temporary disk space that had been used.
    6. -
    7. The exported files will be saved in a folder named "macro-output" in the folder specified in the Macro output field in Directories Preferences. See Macro output below. The original files are not altered.
    -
    When a Macro is applied to files, the only option is to import and process the entire file.
    -
    • Thus the entire file will be exported unless an action or effect in the Macro (such as Cut or Truncate Silence) removes some audio.
    • -
    • If modifying the audio before exporting, the Select Time function may be useful to select audio to remove or modify.
    -

    Restrictions

    -
    • If you already have audio in the current project window, you must save and close that project using File > Close before applying a Macro to files.
    • -
    • Applying a Macro to multiple Audacity AUP3 project files cannot be done, instead you need to use Python scripting.
    • -
    • You cannot process multi-channel audio files (for example, 5.1 surround sound files) using Macros, even if Import / Export Preferences has been set to "Use custom mix". Any multi-channel files you import will be mixed down on export.

    Macro output

    If your Macro has an Export command the location for any exported audio files is specified in Directories Preferences. -

    If you set a default folder for Macro output Audacity will create a folder called "macro-output" in that folder and that will be used for exports from Macros. -

    One handy way to keep track of what you have selected and to make very precise modifications is to use the Selection Toolbar. For our purposes here, let's concentrate on its main purpose, the Selection boxes. By changing the dropdown menu selection from "Start and End of Selection" to "Start and Length of Selection", you can display and control the length of the selection instead of the endpoint. Which one is useful for you depends on the circumstances: if you need a clip from a song that is exactly 30 seconds long, you may want to set the length to 30, and then modify the start until you have just what you want. Other times you may know the exact end time but need to figure out where to start, independent of the resulting length.

    Selection Toolbar also displays and can move the cursor position without there being a region selected. To move the cursor to an exact position using Selection Toolbar, set the "Selection Start" and "End" boxes to the same value.

    You can set the values displayed in the Selection Toolbar boxes using the mouse and/or keyboard. To change a particular digit in a box, click on it, or you can navigate to it using only the keyboard: @@ -279,12 +278,12 @@

        Time-stretching - changing the speed of clips

        You can change the speed of the clip by holding Alt and dragging near the upper corner of its left and right edges, note that the cursor changes when you do this. Doing so will also change the pitch of the clip. -

        Alternatively, you can select the clip and then right-click in it to get the context menu which has a Change Speed command which enables you to set a precise changed speed. -

        Selecting this command will cause the following dialog to be displayed. You can enter any % speed change by typing in the Clip Speed box.

        With this context menu commend the speed and pitch of the audio clip can be changed independently.

        Waveform Logarithmic (dB) view

        +

        The waveform view can be switched to a dB logarithmic view by right-clicking on the track's Vertical Scale and selecting "Logarithmic (dB)" from the dropdown context menu.

        The default linear Waveform view is very convenient for editing since the majority of audible work is on the screen. When zoomed in edit points are easy to find. However, the linear waveform does not correspond to the way your ears work--they sense quiet sounds more effectively. Halving the volume on the linear scale (for example, deamplifying a sound with a peak of +/- 1.0 by -6 dB to bring it to +/- 0.5 on that scale) does not sound all that much quieter. Human hearing would need a reduction of -18 dB to make audio "appear to sound" half as loud.

        The following example is exactly the same recording as that above displayed in Waveform (dB) view.

This can be easily seen if using "Split Stereo Track" in the Track Dropdown Menu to split the stereo track into two single tracks. The same menu can make single tracks mono, left or right. Each single track can be separately selected and thus edited independently from other tracks.

        Selection starting and stopping at zero

        This is a very short, zoomed-in, example so in order to achieve this in real life (with longer selections) you may need to use zooming and add labels to mark the start and end of your selection.

        For mono tracks you can also try Select > At Zero Crossings once you have made your rough selection.

        At Zero Crossings seldom works well with stereo tracks as the two channels seldom reach zero at the same time.

        Metadata

        +

        The Edit Metadata button enables you to change the metadata for the all the multiple files you are exporting. Clicking it will invoke the Metadata Tags Editor. +

        If you do not use this button then Audacity will use whatever you have set as the default metadata in the Metadata Tags Editor. This will be blank if you have never set default metadata. +

        +
        +

        + + + +
        Advice + There is a bug whereby user supplied metadata applies only to the first exported file - it does not carry through to any further files exported as part of the multiple export, instead Audacity uses the default metadata set for the second and subsequent files exported. Please see Bug #5825. +
        + + + + +
        Tip +The workaround is either: +
        • Before the export use Edit > Metadata Editor to set the default metadata set, or
        • +
        • Use the Edit Metadata button in the Export Audio dialog and set your required metadata for the export.

        Export and Cancel

        Clicking the Export button will export the audio to the folder location, with the file name(s) and type you have selected.

        Clicking the Cancel button will abort the export dialog without exporting any files. -{{note| -

        -
        • After pressing "Export", Metadata Editor (for embedded file information such as artist or genre) will appear for each file to be exported, unless you disable it for the export step in the Import / Export Preferences.

        • If splitting files based on Tracks, any audio behind 0.0 on the Timeline (indicated by two left-pointing arrows at left of the waveform) is included in the export. With single exports, audio behind 0.0 is only exported if explicitly selected and then exported using File > Export Audio and selecting Multiple Files.

            Why is my new track out of sync with the previous ones, or sounds crackly or at wrong pitch?

            When you make an overdub recording (listening to an existing track while recording a new one), computers cannot lay down what you record at the exact instant you sing or play in response to the beat. Therefore without intervention, the recording inevitably gets laid down after the beat. Audacity tries to correct for this "recording latency" automatically by pushing the recorded track backwards after recording stops, but further adjustment may be needed. -

    File Menu: Import

    Enables you to import audio files or label files into your project. Files in various audio formats can be imported into Audacity.
    Import means bringing new content into an Audacity project by any means, such as File > Open, File > Import or dragging files into the project window. The content would typically be an audio file like WAV or MP3, but (using File > Import) could also be a label track, a MIDI file or Raw Data.

    For audio files, the importer used depends on the currently selected file type in File > Open or File > Import > Audio and on settings in Extended Import Preferences.
    See Importing Audio for more information.

    Higher speed transfers

    High Speed Dubbing

    -

    Because Audacity can change the speed of recordings, it is possible to record your 33 1/3 rpm records into Audacity at 45 rpm (so transfer them more quickly). Once the track is recorded into Audacity, simply select all the track by clicking in the Track Control Panel (where the mute/solo buttons are) and click Effect > Change Speed and Pitch. In the "From" box choose the speed you played the record at (for example "33 1/3" or "45") and in the "To" box choose the speed you want to convert the recording to (that is, the speed it should be played at according to the label). +

    Because Audacity can change the speed of recordings, it is possible to record your 33 1/3 rpm records into Audacity at 45 rpm (so transfer them more quickly). Once the track is recorded into Audacity, simply select all the track by clicking in the Track Control Panel (where the mute/solo buttons are) and click Effect > Pitch and Tempo > Change Speed and Pitch. In the "From" box choose the speed you played the record at (for example "33 1/3" or "45") and in the "To" box choose the speed you want to convert the recording to (that is, the speed it should be played at according to the label).

    Where you are recording at a faster speed than normal for example recording a 33 1/3 rpm record at 45 rpm, it is recommended to set the sample rate for Project Rate in Audio Settings Preferences to a higher sample rate than 44100 Hz to ensure you record the full audio spectrum. For recording 33rpm records played at 45rpm, a sample rate of 60k or more is needed to record the full 20000 Hz spectrum. If 44100 sample rate is used when recording, the final audio will be limited to 14800 Hz bandwidth. Also set the bit depth to 32-bit as this will give better quality when the Change Speed and Pitch effect is applied.

    Make the sound louder or quieter

    +

    Volume and Compression

    +

    These make the sound louder or quieter: +

    • Amplify: Increases or decreases the volume of the audio you have selected.
    • Auto Duck: Reduces (ducks) the volume of one or more tracks whenever the volume of a specified "control" track reaches a particular level. Typically used to make a music track softer whenever speech in a commentary track is heard.
    • Compressor: Compresses the dynamic range by two alternative methods. The default "RMS" method makes the louder parts softer, but leaves the quieter audio alone. The alternative "peaks" method makes the entire audio louder, but amplifies the louder parts less than the quieter parts. Make-up gain can be applied to either method, making the result as loud as possible without clipping, but not changing the dynamic range further.
    • Limiter: Limiter passes signals below a specified input level unaffected or gently reduced, while preventing the peaks of stronger signals from exceeding this threshold. Mastering engineers often use this type of dynamic range compression combined with make-up gain to increase the perceived loudness of an audio recording during the audio mastering process.
    • Loudness Normalization: Normalizes for loudness and RMS, changes the level of the audio (normally reduce it to recommended limits). It is based on EBU R 128 recommendations on limiting the loudness of audio signals.
    • Normalize: Use the Normalize effect to set the maximum amplitude of a track, equalize the amplitudes of the left and right channels of a stereo track and optionally remove any DC offset from the track.

      • Crossfade Clips: Use Crossfade Clips to apply a simple crossfade to a selected pair of clips in a single audio track.
      • Crossfade Tracks: Use Crossfade Tracks to make a smooth transition between two overlapping tracks one above the other. Place the track to be faded out above the track to be faded in then select the overlapping region in both tracks and apply the effect.
      • Fade In: Applies a linear fade-in to the selected audio - the rapidity of the fade-in depends entirely on the length of the selection it is applied to. For a more customizable logarithmic fade, use the Envelope Tool on the Tools Toolbar.
      • Fade Out: Applies a linear fade-out to the selected audio - the rapidity of the fade-out depends entirely on the length of the selection it is applied to. For a more customizable logarithmic fade, use the Envelope Tool on the Tools Toolbar.

    +

    EQ and Filters

    +

    These change the quality of the sound: +

    • Bass and Treble: Increases or decreases the lower frequencies and higher frequencies of your audio independently; behaves just like the bass and treble controls on a stereo system.
    • -
    • Classic Filters: Offers three different types of filter which together emulate the vast majority of analog filters, providing a useful graphical tool for analysis and measurement.

      The Classic Filters effect is not enabled by default. To enable it, use Effect > Plugin Manager to open the Plugin Manager dialog.

    • -
    • Distortion: Use the Distortion effect to make the audio sound distorted. By distorting the waveform the frequency content is changed, which will often make the sound "crunchy" or "abrasive". Technically this effect is a waveshaper. The result of waveshaping is equivalent to applying non-linear amplification to the audio waveform. Preset shaping functions are provided, each of which produces a different type of distortion.
    • Filter Curve EQ: Adjusts the volume levels of particular frequencies, using drawn curves
    • Graphic EQ: Adjusts the volume levels of particular frequencies, using sliders.
    • High-Pass Filter: Passes frequencies above its cutoff frequency and attenuates frequencies below its cutoff frequency.
    • Low Pass Filter: Passes frequencies below its cutoff frequency and attenuates frequencies above its cutoff frequency.
    • -
    • Noise Gate: Reduces the level of sound below a specified threshold level. >A noise gate is a kind of "dynamics processor" that allows audio above a specified threshold level to pass through unaffected (gate "open"), and stops or reduces sounds below the threshold level (gate "closed").

    Latency Test

    - -
    -
    From Audacity Development Manual
    -
    -
    Jump to: navigation, search
    - - -
    -
    Latency refers to the delay between the time the audio enters the computer and the time Audacity is able to record it to a track. For example, if you are recording a keyboard track, latency is the delay between the time you strike a key and the time that note is recorded.
    -
    - - - - -
    Tip -Latency correction is only "set and forget" if you always use the same recording device, the same sound system, the same sample rate ... every time that you record. -

    If that is not the case then latency correction should be tested and set each time that you record, if there's a chance that you may use a feature that requires it to be set. -

    -
    -
    -
    -

    When latency adjustment is important

    -

    Latency is only important when you are using: -

    -
    • overdubbing, that is, recording a new track while listening to previously-recorded track(s). You want what you play to be synchronized with the tracks you are listening to. Audacity can correct for latency, but you have to tell it what the correction amount is. You enter this correction amount in the Aufio Settings tab of the Preferences dialog
    • -
    • Punch and Roll Record to quick-fix recording errors.

    What you need

    -

    Using a microphone

    -

    If you are using a microphone to record overdubs then the loop-back cable method will not work for you. Instead you need to set up the microphone in front of a speaker or headphones. Do not worry, you will not get feedback because you have turned Enable audible input monitoring off. -

    -

    Example of loopback using a microphone -
    -

    Using a laptop computer's on-board microphone

    -

    You can just, straightforwardly, use the laptop's onboard microphone and speaker(s) for the latency test, if that is what you are planning to use for subsequent recording. -

    -

    Using a desk-top computer

    -

    To use a desk-top computer you will need to connect the line input and line output ports on the computer, using a loop-back cable. The type of cable you need will depend on the way you are connecting your recording equipment to the computer. -

    If you are connecting your recording equipment to the line input and line output jacks on your computer you need a cable with a stereo mini-plug at each end. -

    -

    Using an external USB audio interface

    -

    If you are not using the line input and/or line output ports on your computer but are instead using a USB audio interface device for input and/or output, plug the loop-back cable into the appropriate jacks on the USB interface. -

    Depending on your interface you may need a different type of loop-back cable. -

    Advice -Note that using a USB microphone is not the best way to record overdubs. These microphones are great for podcasters who just want to record their voice and are not worried about syncing to music. The problem with these microphones is that the only way you can hear yourself in your headphones is by turning Enable audible input monitoring On. Enable audible input monitoring introduces its own delay (different from latency) which you will hear in your headphones. Tests on the same system used for the latency test below revealed that the Enable audible input monitoring delay was 65 milliseconds. This does not sound like much, but it is like hearing your voice coming out of speakers 70 feet away. If you are serious about overdubbing, get an inexpensive mixer and a good microphone to go with it. -

    For more information on overdubbing with Audacity, see our Tutorial - Recording Multi-track Overdubs -

    -

    Making the necessary settings

    -

    Recording preferences

    -

    Click on Edit > Preferences. -

    On the Recording tab, set the following settings: -

    -
    • checked checkbox Play other tracks while recording (overdub) checked.
    • -
    • unchecked checkbox Enable audible input monitoring of input not checked.
    -
    - - - - -
    Tip -In Audacity by default using the Record button image of Record button will append record onto your existing track, see the Recording page. -
    • In order to record on a new track, for multi-track overdubbing, you will need to use Shift and the Record New track button The Record New Track button, or use its shortcut Shift + R.
    • -
    • You can change this in Recording Preferences by checking "on" the "Record on a new track", doing this will make Audacity record on a new track with just the Record button and Shift and The Record on same Track button will append record onto your existing track.
    -
    -
    -

    Audio Settings preferences

    -

    On the Audio Settings tab, in the Latency section, set the following settings: -

    -
    • Set the Latency compensation to 0 (zero), so that you get an absolute reading.
    • -
    • Leave the Buffer length value at its default value.
    • -
    • Click OK.
    -
    - - - - -
    Advice -The Buffer length value will affect latency, but the effect will vary between systems. 100 milliseconds is a safe value that will not put too much load on the CPU. Too low a value may put too much load on the CPU causing dropouts in the recording. If you are feeling adventurous you can repeat this test with different values for Buffer length. But in the end you should settle on a value for both Buffer length and Latency compensation and leave them there. -
    -

    Selection toolbar

    -

    In Snapping Toolbar make sure that Snap is set to "Off". Above the second and third group of numbers, make sure that Start and Length of Selection  menu dropdown is selected. Click on one of the downward-pointing arrows in the digits boxes and select hh:mm:ss + milliseconds  menu dropdown. -


    -

    -
    -

    Doing the latency test

    -

    Turn off un-necessary applications before starting the test so that the computer can mostly concentrate on playing and recording the audio. -

    Click on Generate > Rhythm Track. Set "Number of Measures (bars)" to 2, and set the "Beat Sound" to Ping  menu dropdown. Click OK to generate the click track. Make sure the first track is completely selected (if you do nothing, it will be completely selected). -

    Now press Shift and click the Record new track button The Record New Track button in the Transport Toolbar - the rhythm track will be played back and recorded on a new track. You will now have something like this: -

    -
    - - - -
    LatencyCorrection 220 01.png -
    The top track is the original click track, the bottom track is the looped-back recording. Note the delay. -
    -


    -Zoom in so you can see one of the clicks in the top track and its delayed version on the bottom track. -

    Using Selection Tool, drag a selection starting at the start of the click in the top track and ending at the start of the delayed click in the second track. -

    You should see something like this (your numbers are likely to be different): -


    -

    -
    - - - -
    LatencyCorrection 220 02.png -
    The selections go from the original click to the delayed version in the bottom track. -
    -


    -You can now read the latency directly from the second panel of numbers. In this case it is 0.096 seconds, or 96 milliseconds. -

    Click on Edit > Preferences, click on the Audio Settings tab, and enter the negative of this number in the Latency compensation box - in this case it would be -96. -


    -

    -
    -

    Checking the result

    -

    Delete the second track by clicking the close box X in its Track Control Panel. -

    Click the Fit to Width Image for the "Fit to Width" button button to see the entire click track. Click in the Track Control Panel of the remaining track to select it, then press Shift and click the Record new track button The Record New Track button. -

    After the recording is finished Audacity will apply the latency Correction by pushing the newly-recorded track back by the Latency Correction amount. -

    -
    LatencyCorrection 220 03.png
    -


    -Zoom in on one of the clicks and verify that the clicks in the two tracks line up. -

    -
    - - - -
    LatencyCorrection 220 04.png -
    Note that there is still a tiny delay between the two tracks -
    -

    You will never get it absolutely perfect. In this case we are still off by 17 samples. At 44100 samples per second that is about 0.39 milliseconds. -

    This is as close as we are going to get, and it is not an audible difference. This is the length of time it takes a sound wave to travel about 5 inches, and the latency will probably have natural variability greater than this each time you record. -

    However if you really need to, you can set the latency correction amount to a fraction of a millisecond (for example -96.4). -


    -

    -
    -

    If you change recording or playback devices or audio host

    -

    If you change any of your recording or playback (for example, if you change from using the line input port on your computer to using a USB audio interface) or if you use the same device but change the Audio Host in Device Toolbar, then you will need to do this test again. The test you just did only applies for the specific inputs and outputs and host used during the test. Equally you should record for real with as many other applications shut down as possible, which was the scenario in which you did the test. -

    Macros

    +


    Macros - for batch processing and effects automation:

    A Macro is a sequence of pre-configured commands (mainly effects) in a set order that can be applied automatically to projects or audio files. Any built-in, LADSPA, LV2, Nyquist, VST or Audio Unit (Mac) effect shown in the Effect Menu can be added to a Macro. You can also add plugins in any format that are shown in the Generate or Analyze Menus (including Vamp analysis effects), the built-in Find Clipping analyzer and a number of export commands.

    Macros follow a fixed sequence of instructions. If you want more flexibility than that, you may want to look at Python Scripting which uses the same commands and the Python language.

    • If a Noise Profile does not exist: -
      • If the Macro is applied to the current project (as above), the current selection is used to create the Noise Profile. Therefore, other effect commands in the Macro will also only apply to that selection. If an export command is added, the entire file will be exported.
      • -
      • If the Macro is applied to files, the first file (all of it) is used to create the Noise Profile. It may be useful to prepare a file containing a suitable Noise Profile and name it so that it is alphabetically the first file of those to be run in the Macro.

    This Macro takes a single mono track, and converts it to a stereo track, with one channel a spectrogram and the other a wave. -

    It is one example of how to creatively abuse the Macro system, since audacity is not set up to handle mixed views on wave tracks. -

    • Note the use of a TrackCount of 0.5 to select just one of two channels in a stereo track.
    • -
    • The TrackCount of 0 is used to unselect all tracks.

    Macro Manager

    - -
    Macro Manager allows you to edit, remove or rename existing Macros or add a new Macro and to apply Macros to you project or a set of files. Any Audacity, LADSPA, LV2, Nyquist, VST or Audio Unit (Mac) effect shown in the Effect Menu can be added to a Macro. You can also add plugins in any format that are shown in the Generate or Analyze Menus (including Vamp analysis effects), the built-in Find Clipping analyzer and a number of export commands.

    Macros may be applied to either the entirety of the current project (or a Selection within it) or to a selection of files using the Tools > Apply Macro command.

    It is possible to use Noise Reduction in Macros but see Noise Reduction Tips for how the Noise Profile is captured.

    -
    - - - - -
    Tip -When applying a macro to files it is recommended not to process more than 500 files at a time. -

    Also note carefully that settings used in Macros will not affect or change the last-used parameter settings for any effect when next run manually.

    Edit Steps lists the sequence of commands in order of first to last (End) for the Macro selected in the "Select Macros" box to left. -

    -
    • The Macro can include a number of common Audacity functions and effects to be executed in any order you specify.
    • -
    • To create an audio file as part of the Macro process you must include an "Export" command (such as Export as WAV). -
      • The Export command will use the settings you used that last time you used the same command from the File > Export Audio menu command, or default settings if you have never used that command from the menu.

    Editing an existing command

    -

    To edit an existing command double-click it, or use the Up or Down keyboard arrow to select it then press Space. The parameter settings dialog for that command will be displayed. -

    -
    -

    Inserting a new command

    -
    A few commands are intentionally omitted from the Macro Manager (such as "Close:") because they are unsuitable for use in Macros.
    - -

    To insert a new command in a Macro, left-click or use the Up or Down keyboard arrow to select an existing command. The new command to be inserted will be placed above this selected command. Then press Insert. -

    -
    • The "Select Command" dialog appears, listing all the available commands. Click on a command from the list to insert it in the "Command" box, as shown in the image below.
    • -
    • Alternatively, use the Up, Down, Left or Right keyboard arrow to select the command.

    Macros Select Command 3-0-0.png
    -
    The full list of all commands, with descriptions, is available at Scripting Reference. -
    • Some 'scriptable' commands are particularly useful for Macros. See these pages for details: -
    -
    -
    • If the command has editable parameters, the Edit Parameters button will be active. Clicking this button will bring up the dialog box for the effect where you can set the parameters as if you were applying the standalone effect.
    • -
    • If you have previously created user presets for an effect you can use the Use Preset to select one for use with that effect in the Macro.
    • -
    • Choose OK in the effect dialog to accept the parameters you entered, or Cancel to revert to the default parameters.
    • -
    • Choose OK in the "Select Command" dialog to add the command to the Macro.

    Macro Command Parameters

    -
    - - - - -
    Tip -It is strongly recommended that you set parameters for the commands that you use in a Macro. -

    Otherwise Audacity will use the last-used parameter setting(s) when you ran the effect(s) manually.

    -

    Also note carefully that settings used in Macros will not affect or change the last-used parameter settings for any effect when next run manually.

    Set Track Status 2.png
    -

    Commands that call Effects, Generators, Analyzers or Tools, use the same familiar graphical interface (GUI) as appears when they are used from the normal top level menus. -

    Many of the other commands provide a simple GUI comprised of checkboxes and text entry boxes. Typical examples can be seen in the Scriptables I and Scriptables II menus. -

    This example shows the "Set Track Status" command. -

    -
    The tick boxes on the left determines whether a feature should be used. When not selected, that feature does nothing.
    -
    The second tick box determines whether the feature is set to "on" or "off".
    -

    This shows: -

    -
    1. The track name will not be changed
    2. -
    3. Track selectedness will be set to "not selected"
    4. -
    5. Track focus will be set to "focused"
    -

    Selections in Macros applied to Project

    -Macros will work on pre-existing Selections you make in your project prior to running the Macro.

    But the selection can be over-ridden by your Macro itself as there are Macro commands available to effect selections in the audio.

    -
    • In particular All(Select All) will select the entire project
    • -
    • Select which is parameterizable (see the provided Fade Ends Macro for an example where the first and last one seconds of the audio are selected for the fades).
    -
    - - - - -
    Tip -If you want to select all tracks, maintaining your current time selection, use "Select: First=0 Last=100". It will not waste time twiddling its thumbs on the tracks that are not there. -
    -
    -

    Selections in Macros applied to Files

    -

    When applying a Macro to files there is no pre-existing Selection so you will need to create a selection in the Macro if your Macro requires audio to be selected to act on (and most Macros do). -


    -

    -
    -

    Commands for Exporting audio files

    -
    • There are four basic Macro export commands available: Export as WAV, Export as MP3, Export as FLAC and Export as Ogg. -
      • See Apply Macro for details of naming and location of exported files.
    -
    +
    -
    Advice Parameters for export formats cannot be set in "Manage Macros". To configure export parameters for the Macro, click File > Export Audio to access the Export Audio Dialog, click Options, set the parameters, press OK then Cancel the export. An audio track must be on screen in order to open the Export Audio Dialog. -
    -

    Special Export command

    -
    • Export2: there is also a special Export command Export2 which enables you to export to a specific target file and format. When using Export2 you have to give the full file name (including path and file name extension).

      Note carefully that the file name is not dynamically changeable when running the Macro, once set in the Export2 parameters, so you may wish to create several Macros the Export2 each targeting different file locations, names and file type.

    -
    -

    Example: -

    "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\my file.flac" (this works) -

    Not: C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\my file.flac (the file name is not quoted) -

    Not: "my file.flac" (no path given) -

    Not: "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\myfile" (no file extension) -

    The quote marks around the file pathing are supplied by Audacity once the Export2 command has been edited in setting up or editing the Macro -

    When entering the pathing data in the edit parameters dialog for the command you do not put the quote marks for example: -C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\my file.flac -

    -
    -
    -

    Comments in Macros

    -

    Comments be added to Macros to enable you to document what is happening in the Macro. -

    Use the "Comment" command in the Macros command to set and edit its parameters to type the text of your comment. -

    -

    -

    Macro output

    -

    If your Macro has an Export command the location for any exported audio files is specified in Directories Preferences. -

    If you set a default folder for Macro output Audacity will create a folder called "macro-output" in that folder and that will be used for exports from Macros. -

    If you leave the entry for Macro output blank (default setting) Audacity will default to creating a folder called "macro-output" in: -

    -
    • Windows: C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Audacity
    • -
    • Mac: /Users/<your username>/Documents
    • -
    • Linux: /home/<your username>/Documents
    -
    When running a Macro on a project, If the project has not been saved and is un-named, the normal Export Audio dialog will appear enabling you to choose the name and location of the exported file. -

    -

    Shrink - reduced Macros Palette dialog

    -

    Use the Shrink button to show a reduced Macros Palette dialog with a simple list of the existing Macros, enabling you to apply the Macros but not edit them. -

    This smaller version is useful for presets. It stays open after applying a macro, so it is a palette of custom functions, and you can pick another and apply that. -

    Using the Expand button on this reduced dialog will return you to the full Manage Macros dialog. -

    For more details see the Apply Macro page. -

    Error: Batch command not recognized

    -
    This error may sometimes occur for one or more commands in a Macro when updating from a previous Audacity version. The error may also occur if users sharing Macro have different Audacity versions or different versions of the plugins used in the Macro. The error will occur if: -
    • any command in the Macro uses a different text format than that recognized by the version of Audacity in use
    • -
    • any plugins listed in the Macro are missing, in an incorrect location or are incompatible with the version of Audacity in use.
    -To resolve these errors, ensure you have compatible versions of all required plugins and that the plugins are installed correctly. If necessary, use the "Manage Macros" dialog to delete the command that fails then insert a replacement command for the same effect from the "Select Command" dialog.

    Muting and Soloing<

    When working with multiple tracks, it is often important to be able to hear just one at a time. Each track has a Mute and a Solo button, allowing you to temporarily hear just some of your tracks.

Any number of tracks can be made solo so that they mix together. If any Solo button is down this overrides the Mute button. If on any occasion you want the Solo button to play only one track at a time (so that clicking it releases any other Solo buttons), hold down Shift when clicking Solo.

    Any program that can open a pipe to that module could control Audacity. This has potentially serious security implications. For example another program could control Audacity, and potentially could exploit some other bug in Audacity or in mod-script-pipe to crash it. Hackers working out how to control a machine remotely often start by working out how to crash it remotely and work up from there. For security reasons it would be totally inappropriate to use scripting with audacity on a webserver to provide audio processing.

    On Mac Trackpads you can use two fingers to scroll horizontally, or pinch/expand to zoom the waveform in or out at the pointer position, without using a modifier key. Horizontal scrolling and pinch/expand should also work on most touchpads on Windows machines, but you may need to apply this horizontal scrolling modification or to install special drivers for your touchpad. +

    MP3 Export Options

    -
    MP3 Export Options let you choose the quality of files exported to the popular MP3 format. You can choose between variable, average or constant bit rate, or from one of four common presets. Encoding speed can be specified, and Joint Stereo encoding chosen as an option.

    As with all lossy, compressed formats, there is a trade-off between the size of the file and the quality of the encoded file, higher quality requiring larger files.

    +

    As with all lossy, compressed formats, there is a trade-off between the size of the file and the quality of the encoded file, higher quality requiring larger files. +

    Note that MP3 files have a short silence at the beginning due to encoder delay. This is a limitation of the MP3 format. Audacity uses LAME Mp3 info tag to store the exact length of added silence. Applications that support this tag, (including Audacity), are then able to automatically strip off the added silence. Many apps still do not support this feature, and will therefore show a small amount of added silence at the beginning of the file. If you need to synchronize files or are making Audio Loops, it is highly recommended to use a format that does not have this limitation, such as WAV, FLAC or Ogg Vorbis.

    Audacity uses LAME for encoding MP3s, which is generally considered to be the best MP3 encoding library, and is the only MP3 encoding library that is still being actively developed.

    What you hear by previewing with playback prior to export is what you will get in the Exported audio file.

    Latency refers to the delay between the time the audio enters the computer and the time Audacity is able to record it to a track. For example, if you are recording a keyboard track, latency is the delay between the time you strike a key and the time that note is recorded. -

    For instructions on how to adjust the latency please see the Latency Test page in this manual.

    + + + + +
    Tip +For instructions on how to adjust the latency please see the Latency Compensation page on the Muse Support site. +

    To achieve lower latency Audible input monitoring/software playthrough on Windows you can:
    • (Only gives somewhat lower latency): On Windows, right-click over the "Speaker icon" by the system clock, choose Recording, right-click over the input device, choose Properties then on the "Listen" tab, enable "Listen to this device".
    • (Advanced) Compile Audacity with ASIO\xc2\xae true low latency support. Ask on the Compiling Audacity board of the Forum if you need help.

    This tutorial describes a known working method of creating a multiple sound track overdubbing session from scratch in Audacity. That is, you record one track and then play it back and add a second track against it: drums, guitar, voice; repeat as needed. This process uses a particular USB microphone that has bi-directional headphone monitoring and management built into its base.In this tutorial you will be able to hear a mix of your live recording and the previous tracks simultaneously in your headphones (also required). Live monitoring is often unavailable (or you hear yourself too late) without purpose-built hardware.

    Regular Interval Labels

    Regular Interval Labels places labels in a label track so as to divide the associated audio into smaller, equally-sized segments. This can be useful for distributing a large file on the Internet or ensuring that all exported files are the same size.

    You can specify the number of labels and the interval between them, or fit labels to the current audio selection. Each label produced can contain specified label text and the labels can be given sequential numbers before or after the text.

    This effect requires an audio selection, even if the selection is not used.

    • ClickRepair: An excellent tool for removing clicks and pops is Brian Davies' ClickRepair. Some new users may find it a bit intimidating as an entry level tool but, once you have understood the settings you want to use, it is effectively an automated tool. It requires Java and is not free, but many users report that it saves a lot of time and produces good results. Since ClickRepair will work with 32-bit files it is worth exporting a 32-bit float WAV file for processing though ClickRepair and importing back into Audacity, that way no dithering will be applied in the process.

    You may find the default settings for this application remove a little too much signal. An alternative recommendation: -
    • DeClick = 30 (default is 50)
    • -
    • Pitch Protection = "on" (default is "off") though leave this "off" for brass recordings
    • -
    • Reverse = "on" (there is no processing penalty for this and it helps on percussive music)

    Seeking

    While Scrubbing or Seeking, you can still click in the track to set the editing cursor, or click and drag to make a selection. The point or region could then be labeled.

    Pinned play head Scrubbing and Seeking

    @@ -137,25 +141,9 @@

    Pinned Tip A very useful setting for using scrubbing with pinned play head is to move the pointer to the extreme right (100%) position and increase the maximum speed to 2.00x.

    With this setting, when you move the pointer back to the 75% position on the waveform you will get normal speed forwards playback and at 25% position you will get normal speed backwards playback. Moving the pointer towards the center from there will give you gradually slower than normal speed and moving towards the right or left edges will give you gradually faster than normal speed up to your chosen maximum of 2.00x.

    Spectral Selection and Edit
    +
    Spectral Selection is used to make selections that include a frequency range as well as a time range on tracks in Spectrogram view. Spectral Selection is used with special spectral editing effects to make changes to the frequency content of the selected audio.

    Among other purposes, spectral selection and editing can be used for cleaning up unwanted sound, enhancing certain resonances, changing the quality of a voice or removing mouth sounds from voice work.

    All of the time-based selection techniques (horizontal selection) are still available when making a spectral selection, enabling you define the time rage of a spectral selection.

      Splitting a recording into
      Jump to: navigation, search
      -
      -This tutorial shows how to divide a long recording in one Audacity track into separate songs for export as one audio file per song. You can then burn these files to an audio CD (enabling you to skip from track to track on the CD) or play the files directly on a portable music player.

      It describes the basic concepts of removing unwanted audio, identifying and labeling boundaries between songs, maximizing volume then exporting multiple audio files using Split in parts in Export Audio.

      If you already have each song in Audacity tracks one above the other, you can still follow this tutorial. Instead of labeling as described here, name each song using that track's dropdown menu. At the Export Multiple step, split files based on Tracks instead of Labels.

      -
      Live recordings versus studio recordings -
      • Sometimes songs on live recordings flow together. If you want to split a live recording into songs without any audible break between the songs on the CD you must use burning software that can set the "gap" or "pause" between tracks to 0 seconds and can burn in "disk-at-once" (DAO) mode. See Gapless burning.

      Step 1 - Remove unwanted audio from the recording

      -
      1. Set Snap: Off in the Snapping Toolbar
      2. -
      3. Click the Skip to Start button image of skip to start button
      4. -
      5. Zoom in until you can see from the start of the track to the start of the music
      6. -
      7. Click and drag from the start of the music to the start of the track
      8. -
      9. Click on Edit > Delete
      -

      Similarly, remove unwanted audio from the end of the recording and from the middle (between sides 1 and 2 of the LP or cassette). Note that later in this tutorial we will be using the Analyse > Find Silences command to identify spaces between the songs, so when you are editing the transition between side 1 and side 2 be sure to leave 2 or 3 seconds of silence, similar to what you would find between songs. -

      Save your work. Click on File > Save Project > Save Project. +


      -
      -

      Step 2 - Label the songs

      -

      Mark the first song -

      -
      1. Click the Skip to Start button image of skip to start button
      2. -
      3. Click on Edit > Labels > Add Label at Selection, or use shortcut Ctrl + B.

        A new label is created in a new label track underneath the audio track. The contents of the label are selected and ready for editing. If you need to play the track to decide where to place the split points, you can use "Add Label at Playback Position" instead (directly underneath "Add Label at Selection", or use shortcut Ctrl + M (on Mac it is ⌘ + .).

      4. -
      5. Type the title of the first song
      -
      +
      -
      Advice When typing the label, you should not use characters which are reserved by the operating system. -
      • On Windows, do not use:   \   /   :   *   ?   "   <   >   |
      • -
      • On Mac, do not use  : 
      • -
      • On Linux, do not use   / 
      -
      -

      Mark the rest of the songs -

      -
      1. Using the selection tool, click near the beginning of the second song
      2. -
      3. Repeatedly click the Zoom In button The Zoom In tool until you can see just the first few seconds of the song
      4. -
      5. Click as closely as possible to the start of the song
      6. -
      7. Click on Edit > Labels > Add Label at Selection, or use shortcut Ctrl + B
      8. -
      9. Type the name of the song into the label -
        Marking Song-2.png
      10. -
      11. Repeatedly click the Zoom Out button The Zoom Out tool until you can see the start of the third song
      12. -
      13. Continue in this manner adding a label to mark the start of each song
      -
      - - - - -
      Tip -You can save time by using Analyze > Label Sounds to automatically label the regions to be exported for the songs. This method thus lets you exclude some or all of the areas between songs.

      This tool depends on correctly detecting the "silences" between tracks and this depends on setting their parameters appropriately for your track.

      -
      -
      -
      -

      Step 3 - Maximize the volume of the recording

      -

      If you did the original recording properly and avoided clipping, the recording is probably not at the maximum possible volume. In order for the CD to be burned at maximum volume and thus match other CDs in your collection we need to fix this. -

      -
      1. Click on Select > All, or use shortcut Ctrl + A
      2. -
      3. Click on Effect > Normalize
      -

      The default choice in this dialog is to amplify to a maximum of -1.0 dB. The maximum setting is 0 dB, but the default setting of -1.0 dB provides a little headroom as some players can have playback problems with audio at 0 dB. -

      -Some consumer-level turntables, tape decks and/or amplifiers may well record stereo channels with a stronger signal in one channel than the other, which you will probably want to correct. In that case, check the box that says "Normalize stereo channels independently".

      One problem when copying records is that a loud click in one channel can cause Normalize to create an unwanted change in the stereo balance. In that case you should consider removing the click before the Normalize step, using Click Removal. +This tutorial has been transferred to Splitting a recording into separate tracks on the Audacity Support site. +

      Step 4 - Export multiple audio files

      -

      Congratulations, you are now ready to export the tracks. -

      -
      1. Click on File > Export Audio.
      2. -
      3. Choose Multiple Files in the Export Range section. The dialog will expand with more options.
      4. -
      5. Choose the Folder location.
      6. -
      7. Choose the export Format from the pop-up menu: -
        • for CD burning choose 16-bit WAV if using Windows or Linux or AIFF if you are using a Mac
        • -
        • for loading into an MP3 player, choose MP3
        • -
        • for loading into Apple Music/iTunes/iPhone/iPod you can export as WAV and use Apple Music/iTunes to convert the WAVs to AAC or MP3.
      8. -
      9. Under Split Files Based On: -
        • selected radio button Labels should be checked
        • -
        • unchecked checkbox Include audio before first label should be unchecked, as there is no audio before the first label
      10. -
      11. Under Name Files: -
        • selected radio button Using Label/Track Name should be checked.
      12. -
      13. Click the Export button.
      14. -
      15. Metadata Editor will appear for the first song. The Track Title and Track Number will be pre-filled from the labels, but you can enter any additional information for that song that you wish (for example, Artist Name and Album Title).
      16. -
      17. Click the OK button in the Metatdata Editor.
      18. -
      19. Metadata Editor will appear for the next and the subsequent songs. As before, enter any additional information and click "OK" for each window. When you click "OK" on the window for the last song, all the files will export.
      -
      Metadata in this context refers to information "tags" stored in the audio file such as Artist, Album and Song Title. -
      • Often you may have an album where most tags (such as Artist Name) are common to all tracks. If you choose Edit > Metatdata before exporting and add the common tags there, Audacity will pre-fill these when the metadata window for each song appears.
      • -
      • If all your tags are common to each song (except of course for each song's Track Title and Track Number), you can enter the common tags before export as above but export silently without the metadata window appearing. To do this, choose Preferences, then the Import / Export tab, and uncheck Show Metadata Editor prior to export step.
      • -
      • Hiding Metadata Editor at the export step can also be useful if you mainly export WAV files for which many audio players do not recognize tag information. Use AIFF (in Apple Music/iTunes or VLC) or FLAC if you want full metadata in lossless files.
      -
      -

      A progress dialog might appear if the process takes more than a second or two. When the process is finished a confirmation dialog will appear listing the files that were created. -

      The tracks are now ready to import into the CD burning software of your choice. -

      -
      If you burn a CD with a gap of zero seconds between tracks (if your burning software supports this), you will end up with an exact replica of the LP or cassette. If, when burning the CD, you add the standard 2-second gap between each track you will be adding an additional 2 seconds to the existing silence between tracks, and the vinyl surface noise or cassette hiss will suddenly disappear which some listeners may find annoying. See Refinements, below, for ways of dealing with this.
      -
      -

      Step 5: Backup

      -

      Backup your exported WAV or MP3 files - you do not want to lose all that valuable work and have to do it all over again, do you? Computer hard drives can fail, destroying all data. -

      Ideally use a dedicated drive (1+ TB external magnetic drives are convenient and economical), or upload to an online (cloud) storage service to store the WAVs or MP3s. Better still is to make two copies on different external devices and even better is to hold an online backup as well as the local copies. -

      You may want to create a taxonomic file structure - for example each album can be stored in its own folder (named for the album) within a folder named for the artist (or, perhaps, composer for classical music) to make searching and retrieval easier. -

      -
      -

      Refinements

      -
      - - - - -
      Tip -Adjusting "silence" between songs -

      Of course, the space between songs is not really "silent" - it contains vinyl surface noise or cassette hiss. Using standard editing techniques you can select and delete these portions of the recording, then insert whatever gap (silent portion) you want when burning the CD. -

      If you will be listening to the songs primarily on a computer or MP3 player you may prefer to have some silence at the end of each song. In this case select the silent portion then click on Edit > Remove Special > Silence Audio. Now you can edit the length of the silent portion to your taste. Alternatively you can delete the silent portion, then click on Generate > Silence and specify exactly how much silence you want. -

      -
      -
      -
      - - - - -
      Tip -Handling (vinyl) surface noise or cassette hiss -

      Adding true silence will result in the vinyl surface noise or cassette hiss suddenly stopping, which some listeners may find annoying. -

      -
      • You can avoid this by using Effect > Fade Out at the end of each song. You can do the fade-out after the music ends (in effect fading out the noise).
      • -
      • Alternatively you can fade out the last second or so of the song if that works with the music. If fading the last seconds of the music you may prefer to use Effect > Studio Fade Out as that should give you a smoother and more "musical" sounding fade out.
      -

      Experiment and listen to the results to decide what works for you and for the music you are working on. -

        The Nyquist Plug-in Installer is itself a Nyquist plugin that simplifies the installation of other Nyquist plugins.

        All Nyquist plugins are plain text files that have the file name extension '.NY'. This plugin installer provides a file browser for selecting the plugin '.NY' file, and then copies the file to the correct location. Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled in the Plugin Manager.

        • Auto-fit track height: Tracks will be automatically resized to fit in the vertical space of the project window if possible. All tracks that have not been collapsed using the Track Collapse Button or Collapse All Tracks menu item are resized so that each separate waveform has the same height. Accordingly mono tracks will have the same height as each other and stereo tracks will have the same height as each other (twice the height of the mono tracks).

        Transport Menu

        Transport Menu commands let you play or stop, loop play, scrub play or record (including timed and sound activated recordings). Except for Scrub play, these playback commands play at standard speed, or as speeded up or slowed down over time by adding a Time Track envelope. The easiest way to play at a fixed faster or slower speed is to use Play-at-Speed Toolbar.

        Tutorial - Click and pop re
        Jump to: navigation, search
        -
        -
        There are a number of ways you can use Audacity to remove clicks and pops from your recording. First, without zooming in too far, visually inspect your recording for clicks - they will show up as abnormally tall (sticking up or down), very narrow (one or two pixels wide) vertical lines protruding from the waveform. -

        The primary tool in Audacity for dealing with clicks and pops is the Click Removal effect. -

        Clicks which do not get removed with Click Removal can be treated individually with other methods. These methods are only really useful if you have a relatively small number of clicks and pops to deal with; otherwise, these approaches will be too labor-intensive and time-consuming: -

        -
        • Audacity's Repair effect can repair a short length of up to 128 samples by interpolating from the neighboring samples.
        • -
        • For hard to spot clicks you may want to try Click removal using the Spectrogram view.
        • -
        • For somewhat longer regions of audio, try: -
          • Silence Audio The silenced sections must be short enough so as to not be audible.
          • -
          • Draw Tool The principle is to put samples back into line with their neighbors to smooth out the contours of the samples and so attenuate the click or pop.
        -
        - - -

        Audacity Click Removal

        -

        To use Audacity's Click Removal first select the audio from which you want clicks repaired. You can select all of a track by clicking on its Track Control Panel. Alternatively, you can select all the audio in the project by using Select > All or its shortcut Ctrl + A (⌘ + A on a Mac). If there are a lot of clicks it is possible they may be removed more effectively by selecting individual clicks or groups of clicks rather than the whole track. You can select part of a track by clicking in the track and dragging to left or right with your mouse, or by holding down Shift and the left or right arrow keys. Zooming right in and selecting only an individual spike may not work well - extend the selection a little either side of the immediate click or group of clicks to give the algorithm more idea of the undamaged audio it can use. -

        Then, choose Effect > Click Removal. Move the "Threshold" slider to adjust how sensitive the click detection is, and the "Spike Width" slider to adjust the length of spiked audio to be considered as a click. Then click the OK button. Softer clicks may require you to move the threshold slider further to left (but moving it too far to left may create a "broken up" effect with too much audio removed). For broader clicks, move the "Spike Width" slider further to right. -

        Preview the effect with these different settings to get the best results. Then, using the settings from your preview testing, use the Click Removal effect on selected regions of audio or on the whole project. -

        Very soft and rapid light ticks that sound like static electricity and which are typical of vinyl (even though the pressing is often the cause rather than a static charge) will not be effectively removed with Click Removal. For this type of noise, select an area of vinyl that contains only the noise (no music or speech) and use Effect > Noise Reduction. -

        -
        Click Removal requires an audio selection of more than 4,096 samples. This is about 93 milliseconds at 44,100 Hz Project Sample Rate as shown in Audio Settings Preferences.
        -

        Repair of short sections

        -

        Audacity has a Repair effect which can be used to repair a short length of up to 128 samples long (for most audio, only a few thousandths of a second) by interpolating from the neighboring samples. You will need to zoom in to see the individual samples to use this effect. -

        Above this length, it becomes too hard to interpolate what should be going on in the section under repair. You will get an error message if you select too much audio to try and repair. In general, the shorter the section of audio you select to repair, the better the results will be. -

        The Repair effect is unusual because it requires there to be audio outside the selection region on at least one side of the section to be repaired. If the surrounding audio in the track is very short or non-existent there may not be enough information to make the interpolation, in which case an error message will be shown. -

        -
        When using Repair it is often convenient to set Selection Toolbar bar to show hh:mm:ss + samples, then click the cogwheel and choose Start and Length to ensure you are only selecting up to 128 samples.
        -

        Silencing and Draw Tool

        -

        Sometimes an even better result can be obtained by zooming in to sample level and either silencing the click using Edit > Remove Special > Silence Audio (or the Ctrl + L shortcut), or using Draw Tool to smooth out the contours of the samples and so attenuate the click. Remember, the click will be visible as a "spike" in the waveform. Most discrete clicks up to 10 milliseconds long can actually be simply silenced or deleted without leaving an audible gap in the sound, although many clicks spread wider that that. -

        If the click is not suitable for silencing or deletion, enable Draw Tool by clicking the pencil icon Draw Tool button in the Tools Toolbar, or press F3 on your keyboard. The mouse pointer will change to a pencil while over the audio track. You must zoom in until you can see the individual sample dots before you can use Draw Tool. -

        Click in the track at the point you wish a sample to be redrawn to, and wait for the samples to be rejoined together. Alternatively, click in the area of track where the line of samples is not smooth and hold down Alt on your keyboard. The pointer will now change to a brush (or spray can on Linux). -

        Some patience may be needed with this tool, but the principle is to put samples back into line with their neighbors so that a smooth contour is presented. -

        -

        Use Spectrogram view to identify clicks more easily

        -

        Click removal using the Spectrogram view is a workflow tutorial giving steps to remove hard-to-spot clicks using Audacity's Spectrogram View view. In the default Waveform View, loud clicks often show up as easily seen spikes, but smaller, lower amplitude clicks can be very hard to find without zooming in to near sample level then scrolling the waveform to identify the exact location of the clicks. Considerable time can be saved by first using Spectrogram view which identifies clicky regions more readily. -

        -

        Other techniques

        -

        Silencing highly zoomed areas or redrawing samples can get tedious even over a relatively short stretch of audio. Here are a few other tricks you can try if Click Removal did not help as much as you hoped. -

        -

        Spectrum analysis

        -

        Analyze the area with Analyze > Plot Spectrum to see if any spikes are concentrated in particular frequencies and then use Effect > Filter Curve EQ or Effect > Graphic EQ to reduce the volume of those frequencies. -

        You can do this more precisely with the Effect > Notch Filter. -

        -

        Subtraction

        -

        Where the clicks sound equally loud in both left and right channels of a stereo recording (this often is not the case), but the music information in the channels is very different at that point, you can try to cancel out the click by making the affected section of track mono and inverting one of the channels: -

        -
        • First, select the area of track that has the click, then click in the track name by the downward-pointing arrow to open the Track Dropdown Menu (right). Choose choose Edit > Clip Boundaries > Split New. This moves the selected area into a new track underneath your original track.
        • -
        • Then click in the new track's in track name to open its Track Dropdown Menu and choose Split Stereo to Mono.
        • -
        • Now select one of the channels by clicking where it says "Mono". In the menus at the top, choose Effect > Invert.
        -

        When you export the result as a stereo track, the area you split out will be effectively mono (in the sense that the previous music signal in the left and right channels will be mixed into both channels), but the click should be sharply attenuated without harming the music too much. -

        -

        Repair of broader clicks

        -

        Click Removal may not work well with broader clicks of 10 milliseconds or longer. Here are two Nyquist plugins you can try. Installation instructions for Nyquist plugins are here Nyquist Plug-in Installer. -

        -
        • PopMute: heavily attenuates loud clicks and pops (and even hand claps or small bangs) to make them less obtrusive.
        • -
        • EZ-Patch: really loud and wide glitches may still sound too bad even if moderated with "Pop Mute". In that case, try "EZ-Patch" which lets you repair the damage by selecting the glitch together with some undamaged audio on one side of the glitch, then smoothly replaces the glitch with the undamaged part of the selection.
        -

        Alternative applications

        -

        It is also possible to use other applications than Audacity for click removal, while still using Audacity for the other editing tasks and to produce the final master. Export your audio track from Audacity as a lossless WAV or AIFF file, and also export the click-removed audio as a WAV or AIFF for import back into Audacity. -

        -
        • ClickRepair: An excellent tool for removing clicks and pops is Brian Davies' ClickRepair. Once you have understood the settings you want to use, it is effectively an automated tool. It is not free, but a fourteen day free-trial is available. Many users report that it saves a lot of time and produces oustandingly good results.
        -
        +
        - -
        Tip +Advice You may find the default settings for ClickRepair remove a little too much signal. An alternative recommendation: -
        • DeClick = 30 (default is 50)
        • -
        • Pitch Protection = "on" (default is "off") though leave this "off" for brass recordings
        • -
        • Reverse = "on" (there is no processing penalty for this and it helps on percussive music)
        • -
        • Method = Wavelet
        -
        -
        -
        • GoldWave: Though nominally not free it is a good, free-trial click remover as well as an alternative audio editor. Its click removal is an effect, just like in Audacity, and there is a "Smoother" effect for broad unwanted noises and an excellent "Noise Reduction" effect for steady noise.
        -
        The trial version limits you to a hundred or so commands per session, and a total number of several thousand commands before it expires, but if you export from Audacity as 32-bit WAV and just do Click Removal in it, you should be able to declick several hundred records for free.
        -

        -

        -
        The easiest way to use Audacity is to import an existing audio file and make small changes. If you have never used Audacity before, this is a great place to start.
        -
        - - - - -
        Tip -If you have just made a recording it is strongly recommended that you immediately export your audio using File > Export Audio... to WAV or AIFF (ideally to an external drive) as a safety copy before you start editing the project. -
        -
        -
        -

        Objective

        -

        The objective of this tutorial is to learn how to edit an audio file. To achieve this objective, we are going to import an existing sound file, remove all but 10 seconds of this file, apply a 1-second fade-out at the end, export the results, and play it in your favorite audio player. These steps will introduce the basic steps commonly used when editing the contents of an audio file. -


        -

        -
        -

        Step 1: Find a file to edit

        -

        Audacity can import many common audio file formats, including WAV, AIFF, and MP3. If the optional FFmpeg library is installed, a larger range of formats, including WMA and the audio content of most video files, can be imported. Audacity cannot import copy-protected music files. -

        If you want to edit music that you have on an audio CD, you need to "rip" the music into an audio file. See the Audio CDs page for information on getting the audio off of CDs and into Audacity. -

        No audio files handy? There is lots of free music online. -


        -

        -
        -

        Step 2: Import the file into Audacity

        -

        First launch Audacity, then import an audio file by selecting File > Import > Audio.... -

        A quicker method is to just drag and drop the file as in the following examples: -

        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
               -OpeningDocsWin.png -     -OpeningDocsMac.png -     -OpeningDocsLin.png -
               -Windows: Drag the audio file icon
        into the open Audacity window. -
             -Mac: Drag the audio file icon
        to the Audacity icon in the Dock
        (does not work for all formats yet). -
             -Linux: Drag the audio file icon
        into the open Audacity window. -
        -

        All three platforms support: -

        -
        • dragging the audio file into the Audacity window
        • -
        • dragging the audio file to the Audacity icon on the Desktop.
        -

        Specific dragging behavior according to platform: -

        -
        • On Windows and Mac you can also drag to Audacity's icon in a file manager application.
        • -
        • On Mac and Linux you can drag the file to the Audacity icon in the Dock or Taskbar respectively to import the file into Audacity. -
          • On Windows, dragging the file to the Audacity icon in the Taskbar will either switch the window to Audacity if it is running (from where you can drag the file in), or if Audacity is closed, give the option to launch Audacity with the file imported.
        -
        Command-line file importing: On all three platforms you can also import files by launching Audacity at the command-line and passing the files you wish to import as arguments. For example, on Linux Ubuntu:

         me@ubuntu:~$ audacity Desktop/song.mp3 Desktop/speech.wav

        imports the "song.mp3" and "speech.wav" files located on the Desktop in separate Audacity windows.
        -


        -

        -
        -

        Step 3: Look at the waveform

        -
        Stereo waveform in a track
        -

        This image above shows a stereo waveform. The left channel is displayed in the top half of the track and the right channel in the bottom half. The track name takes the name of the imported audio file ("No Town" in this example). Where the waveform reaches closer to the top and bottom of the track, the audio is louder (and vice versa). -

        The ruler above the waveform shows you the length of the audio in minutes and seconds. -

        -
        -

        Removing any DC offset (if present)

        -

        DC offset can occur in audio files so that the recorded waveform is not centered on the horizontal line at 0.0 amplitude. It can be caused by recording with a faulty audio interface. The example above is centered on 0 correctly and carries no DC offset. If your waveform is not centered, see the Normalize page for how to use Normalize to remove DC offset and how to check if your Windows sound device can perform this correction automatically. -


        -

        -
        -

        Step 4: Listen to the imported audio

        -
        -

        Annotated Transport Toolbar.png -

        The image above shows Transport Toolbar. -

        Click the Play button -Play.png to listen to the audio. Click the Stop button -Stop.png to stop playback. If you do not hear anything, see Audacity Setup and Configuration. -

        You can use the Space key on the keyboard as a shortcut for Play or Stop. -

        Click on Selection Tool -IBeam.png then click on the waveform to choose a place to start, then click the Play button -Play.png. Click and drag to create a selection, and then when you click Play button -Play.png only the selection will play. -

        -
        Keyboard use: You can select audio entirely using the left arrow, right arrow and other keys. -
        • Press Left or Right to move the cursor left or right respectively in the waveform.
        • -
        • Hold down Shift while pressing Left or Right to create then extend a selection leftwards or rightwards respectively.
        • -
        • Hold down Shift and Ctrl while pressing Left or Right to contract an existing selection leftwards or rightwards respectively.
        -

        Clicking the Skip to Start button -Rewind.png or pressing the Home key will move the cursor to the beginning of the track. It is like rewind, but it is not for playback - it will only work when playback is stopped. -

        Similarly, clicking the Skip to End button -FFwd.png or pressing the End key will move the cursor to the end of the track. -

        To jump the playback position forwards or backwards from where it is now, click on the Timeline above the waveform at the point you wish to hear. -

        -
        Keyboard use: You can use the following keys to skip around the audio file while listening. -
        • Press Left or , to move the playback cursor back one second.
        • -
        • Press Right or . to move the playback cursor forward one second.
        • -
        • Press Shift + Left or Shift + , to move the playback cursor back 15 seconds.
        • -
        • Press Shift + Right or Shift + . to move the playback cursor forward 15 seconds.
        -The amount the cursor moves in this situation is called the "seek time". The long and short seek times (one second and 15 seconds in the examples above) can be set in the Seek Time When Playing section of Playback Preferences.
        -


        -

        -
        -

        Step 5: Create a 10-second clip from your audio

        -

        You edit audio waveforms in Audacity in much the same way as you would edit text in a word-processing document. When you are editing text you first select the text you want to change and then choose what you want to do with it. You might want to cut or copy the text, delete it, paste new text in its place, or change it to bold. You do the same thing in Audacity: first zoom and select the range of audio you want to change, and then choose what you want to do with it. -

        -
        -

        EditToolbar zooms highlighted.png -

        The image above shows Edit Toolbar with the Zoom buttons highlighted. This -ZoomIn.png is the Zoom In tool, and this -ZoomOut.png is the Zoom Out tool. -

        To zoom in to get a closer look at the waveform, first choose the Selection Tool -IBeam.png, then click near the point you are interested in, then click the Zoom In button. Keep clicking the Zoom In button until you see the detail you need. Note that when you click the Zoom In button the cursor is centered on the screen. -

        There are also menu commands and keyboard shortcuts for zooming. View > Zoom > Zoom In (or Ctrl + 1) is the same as clicking the Zoom In button. View > Zoom > Zoom Out (or Ctrl + 3) is the same as clicking the Zoom Out button. View > Track Size > Fit to Width (or Ctrl + F) will zoom the waveform so it fits in the window. -

        Use the Zoom commands so that you can make maximal use of your Audacity window to see as much detail as you need, or to make sure you see the entire file when necessary. -

        -

        Walk through deleting all but approximately 10 seconds of selected audio

        -

        To cut this audio file down to exactly 10 seconds, use these following steps. -

        -
        +
        -
        Advice These steps require a mouse, except for using Space on the keyboard to play the selection and C to play either side of the selection. See below for how to create and adjust selections using the keyboard. -
        -
          -
        1. With playback stopped, click near the point where you want the 10-second piece to begin. -
        2. Zoom in until the Timeline shows 10 seconds or more before and after the cursor. -
        3. While holding down the Shift key, click 10 seconds to the right of the cursor. -
          • Note that this is just like selecting a range of text in a word processor
          -

          Audio with 10 seconds selected -

          -
        4. Press Space to listen to the entire selection. Playback will stop when the end of the selection is reached. -
        5. Adjust the start and end of the selection with the mouse as follows. -
          • 5.1. Move the pointer over the start of the selection - the cursor will change to a left-pointing hand. -
          • 5.2. Click and drag to adjust the beginning of the selection. -
          • 5.3. You can adjust the end of the selection in a similar manner.
          -
        6. Press Space to listen to the adjusted selection. You do not have to listen to all of it; press Space again at any time to stop playback. -
          • A convenient way to listen to only the adjusted start of the selection is to move the mouse pointer a little after the start of the selection then press B. The selection plays from the start of the selection to the pointer. To hear the adjusted end of the selection, move the pointer close to the selection end, then press B to play from the pointer to the selection end. -
          • You can also play a length of audio either side of the selection by pressing C. This lets you make sure there is no audio you want to keep that will be removed. Playing either side of the selection would also be useful if you later wanted to cut a small piece out of that selection - you would select the small piece to be cut, then could preview how the audio would sound after the cut. To adjust the length of audio played before and after the selection, go to Cut Preview in the Playback Preferences.
        -
        -
        Keyboard use: Use the arrow keys to adjust the selection start and end. -
        1. Pressing Shift + Left will expand the selection to the left.
        2. -
        3. Pressing Shift + Right will expand the selection to the right.
        4. -
        5. Pressing Shift + Ctrl + Left will contract the selection from the right.
        6. -
        7. Pressing Shift + Ctrl + Right will contract the selection from the left.

      -
      Keyboard use: Use Selection Toolbar to create or adjust a selection. -
      1. Without a mouse, use Ctrl + F6 to navigate into Selection Toolbar, then Tab between the controls.
      2. -
      3. In "Selection Start", type the starting point of your selection if there is not yet a selection.
      4. -
      5. Click on the cogwheel in Selection Toolbar and select Start and Length.
      6. -
      7. If there is no selection yet, select the digit after the "m" in the "Length" box and type 1 (one) on your keyboard. This selects exactly 10.000 seconds from the starting point you chose.
      8. -
      9. Once there is a selection, you can adjust its length in the same way. Let's suppose you dragged a little less than 10 seconds in the waveform, but you need the selection to be exactly 10 seconds. -
        1. Select the first digit to the right of the decimal point in the "Length" box.
        2. -
        3. Type 0 (zero) - the digit changes to zero, the digit to the right is selected and the selection in the waveform changes to match.
        4. -
        5. Type 0 (zero) twice more - the selection length is now 10.000 seconds, accurate to one thousandth of a second.

    -

    You have now selected the portion of the audio that you want to keep. Make sure you have pressed Space to stop if the track is still playing, then to delete everything except the selected audio, click on Edit > Remove Special > Trim Audio. -

    -
    Audio trimmed to 10 seconds
    -

    If you make a mistake, you can always click on Edit > Undo. Audacity has unlimited Undo and Redo. You can undo your editing actions all the way back to when you imported the file. You can also Redo actions that you have undone. -

    You now have a region of audio that starts several seconds (or perhaps minutes) from the beginning of the track. You could move the audio to the beginning of the track, using Tracks > Align Tracks > Start to Zero, but this is not a necessary step because when exporting, Audacity will ignore the white space between time zero and the start of the audio. -


    -

    -
    -

    Step 6: Fade out the last second

    -
      -
    • Click the Skip to End button -FFwd.png . -
    • Zoom In until you can see the last two or three seconds of the waveform. -
    • Click in the waveform about 1 second before the end. -
    • Click on Select > Region > Cursor to Track End. -
    • Click on Effect > Fade Out. The last second of the audio is smoothly faded out. -
    -

    Note that we always select some audio first, then choose what action we want to perform on it. -


    -

    -
    -

    Step 7: Export the resulting file

    -

    When you save an Audacity project with File > Save Project > Save Project you are doing just that - saving an Audacity project. Audacity projects can be opened only by Audacity. If you want other applications (such as Apple Music/iTunes or Windows Media Player) to be able to open this file you need to export it. -

    -
    -

    Exporting a WAV file

    -
    • Click on File > Export Audio... - the standard "Save" dialog for your operating system appears.
    • -
    • Give the file a different name. Audacity always suggests a name for the file that is the same as the name of your Audacity project. It is always best to alter this so you do not confuse your exported file with your Audacity project.
    • -
    • Choose a location to save the file in the usual manner.
    • -
    • In the Save dialog, from the "Format" menu, choose "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM".
    • -
    • Click the Export button to complete the export of your project to a WAV file.
    -
    -

    Exporting an MP3 file

    -

    The steps for exporting a file in MP3 format are the same as for a WAV file, except: -

    -
    • In the Save dialog, from the "Format" menu, choose "MP3 files"
    • -
    • Then set the bit rate and other options for the MP3 file.
    • -
    • Click the Export button to complete the export of your project to an MP3 file.
    -


    -

    -
    -

    Step 8 - Testing your new Audio Production

    -

    To demonstrate the difference between an Audacity project (the AUP) file, and a sound file you export from an Audacity project: -

    -
    • Click on File > Close, saving changes if asked.
    • -
    • Find the AUP file on your computer and attempt to open it with the audio player of your choice (for example iTunes, Windows Media Player). You cannot.
    • -
    • Find the exported WAV file on your computer and attempt to open it with the audio player of your choice.
    • -
    • Success.
    -

    You cannot open an Audacity project in a media player. Only by exporting your project can you listen to it in a media player. -

    Once you have exported your project you may want to keep the original project file (AUP3) around in case you want to make some changes to it in the future. -

    Tutorial - Looping

    Jump to: navigation, search
    -
    -
    This page provides tips on how to make an audio loop with Audacity.
    -
    - - -

    1. Enable Playback Looping

    -
    enabling playback looping
    -

    To enable playback looping: -

    -
    • Click onto the Loop button (1). When you do this, you'll note the looping region appear in the timeline (2).
    • -
    • You can move the region and it's in and out point individually by dragging it.
    • -
    • Additionally, you can right click the timeline and Enable dragging selection (3). This will come in handy later.
    • -
    • Press Play button to pay the loop.
    -


    -

    -
    -

    2. Finding the looping region

    -
    look out for similar groups of peaks in the waveform
    -

    When making a loop out of music, you often will be able to see repetitions in the waveform as your source material will probably contain some loop already (for example a drummer playing the same beat throughout the song). You can use these to roughly find good looping regions and position your looping region above it. -

    -
    Notes: -
    • If you're having trouble finding a good region with a stereo track, you may want to convert it to mono first: Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo Down to Mono
    • -
    • When positioning your looping region, try to aim just before the peaks. Doing that may allow you to skip finetuning altogether.
    • -
    • You can adjust the looping region even when playback is on.
    -
    -
    -

    Fine-tuning the loop and removing clicks

    -

    To make the loop seamless, you may need to zoom in some more, using Ctrl+Scroll (Cmd+Scroll) or the zoom controls. -

    -
    +
    - -
    Tip +Advice Set your looping points at a zero crossing, where the waveform (blue line) crosses 0 (black line): -
    Zero-crossing.png
    -
    -
    -


    -

    -
    -

    3. Turn your loop into a clip

    -

    If you had dragging selection enabled (see Step 1.3), you now can simply right-click > Split Clip (Ctrl+I, ⌘+I). You can copy-paste this clip anywhere in your project. -

    -
    If you want to use the clip on repeat, use Effect > Repeat
    -


    -

    -
    -

    4. Exporting Loops

    -

    The selection may be exported using File > Export Audio and choosing Current Selection. -

    -
    - +
    This tutorial has been transferred to Making audio loops on the Audacity Support site. +
    - -Tip - -Export Formats -

    The lossless PCM WAV format is the best format for loops. Choose "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM" when exporting. Many lossy, size-compressed formats like MP3, WMA and ADPCM WAV suffer from added silence at the the start or end of the file or other issues that do not respect the exact length. -

    Seamless loops should normally be exported in a lossless format such as WAV. Note that seamless loops should NOT be exported in MP3 format because encoder/decoder overall delay is not defined, which means there is no official provision for gapless playback. -

    If a compressed file format is required, try OGG Vorbis (though understand that because OGG Vorbis is a lossy format, the encoded audio is not exactly identical to the original audio). OGG Vorbis loops will generally perform acceptably provided that the start / end of the loop are at zero crossing points. -

    Setting the recording latency

    Latency refers to the delay between the time the audio enters the computer and the time Audacity is able to record it to a track. For example, if you are recording a keyboard track, latency is the delay between the time you strike a key and the time that note is recorded. -

    Tutorial - Recording audio
    Jump to: navigation, search
    -
    -
    This tutorial outlines solutions for recording audio playing on the computer, (for example, audio being streamed from an Internet website). How or if you can do this depends on your computer operating system, your audio interface and its drivers.

    +
    -
    Advice Copyright or website restrictions may prevent you recording or distributing material. Check first. -

    -
    - +
    This tutorial has been transferred to Recording desktop audio on the Audacity Support site. +
    - -Tip - -Quality: -

    Generally, it is better to extract or import audio from CDs, DVDs or existing video or audio files than record them as they play. Recording from an analog audio interface is relatively inexact and lossy because the digital source is converted to analog to play it, then back to digital to record it. The resulting quality will depend (amongst other things) on the quality of your audio interface's digital to analog and analog to digital converters. -

    -
    • To extract audio CD tracks to your computer, see Audio CDs.
    • -
    • To import additional types of audio file or extract audio from video files, download and install FFmpeg, then import the file. FFmpeg can also extract audio from the individual VOB files stored on unencrypted DVDs.
    - -
    -
    - - - -
    Tip -Backups: -

    If you have just made a recording it is strongly recommended that you immediately export your audio using File > Export Audio to WAV or AIFF (ideally to an external drive) as a safety copy before you start editing the project. -

    -
    -
    -
    -

    Step 1: Set up devices to capture computer playback

    -

    This is often the hardest part of the overall task, being dependent on your computer operating system and audio interface. Many manufacturers are making it increasingly difficult to record streaming audio by deliberately removing or hiding this functionality due to copyright concerns. Sometimes, older audio interface drivers can be found on the website of the audio interface, sound card or motherboard manufacturer that still allow recording of computer playback. -

    This section of the tutorial shows how to find a suitable audio interface input for recording computer playback, with workarounds if such an input is not available. Click the link to the tutorial for your operating system: -

    - -

    Step 2: Turn Enable audible input monitoring off

    -

    Enable audible input monitoring must usually be turned off when recording computer playback. If playthrough is on, the audio interface will try to play what it is recording then re-record it, creating an increasingly loud series of echoes that may damage your equipment. -

    To turn off Enable audible input monitoring, choose Transport > Transport Options > Enable audible input monitoring to conveniently toggle playthrough off and on as required. -

    You can also use the Recording section of Audacity Preferences: -

    -
    Preferences Recording.png
    -
    - - - - -
    Advice - -

    If you are recording computer playback with Soundflower on Mac you must keep Enable audible input monitoring on. -

    -
    -
    -

    Step 3: Monitor and set initial sound levels

    -

    Before recording for real, try to set sound levels by playing similar material from your intended source and monitoring it in Audacity, so that the recording level will be neither too soft nor so loud as to risk clipping. -

    To turn monitoring on and off in the Recording Meter Toolbar: -

    -
    • Left-click in the microphone icon or right-click in the Recording Meter and select "Enable Silent Monitoring" to turn monitoring on. Click again to turn it off.
    -
    StartMonitoring w7 210.png
    -

    The aim is to adjust levels so that the long colored bars in Meter Toolbar do not exceed about -9.0 to \xe2\x80\x936.0 dB (or 0.5 if the meters are set to linear rather than dB). You can always amplify the recorded signal later if necessary. -

    -
    Recording Toolbar in use.png
    -

    See Meter Toolbars for a detailed description of what the meter display shows. -

    Both the output level of the audio you are recording and the level it is being recorded at will determine the achieved input level of the recording. Thus to achieve the correct recording level you should use both the recording and playback level sliders on Mixer Toolbar: -

    -
    MixerToolbarWithoutInputSelect.png
    -

    and probably the volume control on the website or player software as well. It may be best to check that the Audacity playback slider and the website or player slider are turned up by about the same amount, rather than having one output slider way down and the other way up. -

    -
    - - - - -
    Tip -Always keep an eye on the Recording Meter Toolbar bars to make sure they do not actually reach the right edge, or the red hold lights to right of the meter will come on, indicating clipping distortion in the recording. Enlarging Meter Toolbar by clicking and dragging the right-hand edge may help with this task. See Resizing and Undocking. -
    -
    -


    -

    -
    -

    Step 4: Make a test recording

    -

    Make a test recording to refine levels if necessary. -

    Start the audio playing on the computer then click the Record button Image of Record button in Transport Toolbar. Record for long enough to find the loudest likely part, then click the Stop button Image of Stop button. -

    Have a look at the recorded waveform - there should be no clipping visible. Clipping is bad - this is when the volume of the source sent to Audacity is louder than Audacity can record. The result is that the tops and bottoms of the recorded wave are chopped off ("clipped"). The illustrations below show about 0.004 seconds of a properly recorded waveform then a clipped waveform. You will need to zoom in to inspect the waveform as closely as this, but extended lengths of clipping will also be visible at lower zoom levels. -

    -
    A properly recorded waveform
    -
    Waveform.png
    -
    A clipped waveform
    -
    Waveform clipping.png
    -

    You can also check for clipping by choosing View > Show Clipping in Waveform from the menu. Audacity will display vertical red lines in the waveform wherever it detects any clipped samples.
    -

    -
    ShowClipping02.png
    -
    Show Clipping in Waveform may detect clipping when Meter Toolbar does not, because Meter Toolbar detects only runs of four or more clipped samples.

    Any clipping of three samples or less is unlikely to be audible in most recording circumstances, but it is still a good idea to turn the playback or recording level down if you can.

    -
    - - - - -
    Tip -On slower machines it is best to turn Show Clipping in Waveform off when recording for real. -
    -
    -

    If clipping occurred, turn the recording or output level down a little and try again. -

    If no clipping occurred you can now Edit > Undo Record from the menu to remove the test recording(s) then make the real recording. -

    -
    -

    Step 5: Make the real recording

    -

    Click the Record button Image of red Record button in the Transport Toolbar then start the audio playing on the computer. Continue recording for as long as you want, but keep an eye on the "disk space remaining" message (in the Status Bar at the bottom of the Project Window) and on the Recording Meter (to ensure that you are maintaining a good level without clipping). -

    When you have finished recording, click the Stop button Image of Stop button. -

    -
    -

    Step 6: Backup the capture

    -

    It is strongly recommended that you Export a safety copy of the raw recording in uncompressed WAV or AIFF format. This is particularly important if the recording is a one-off and cannot be repeated. The backup can always be returned to should you make a mess of your subsequent editing. For extra safety or convenience you could also copy the backup to an external drive or a CD - either a data CD for playing on the computer or an audio or "music" CD for a CD player. Find out more at Burning music files to a CD. -

    At this stage you will probably want to use File > Save Project > Save Project (or File > Save Project > Backup Project for a staged safety copy) before proceeding with any editing. This is useful if you want to come back to editing later on. -

    -
    -

    Step 7: Editing

    -

    For information on editing please refer to Basic Recording, Editing and Exporting -

    If you have not been able to make a test recording and find that you have some clipping in the real recording then, provided that the clipping is not too severe, you may be able to repair the clipping with Audacity's Effect > Clip Fix. You should use the Clip Fix effect to repair any clipping immediately after recording and prior to undertaking any further editing. -

    This page describes techniques which, on some stereo tracks, may allow you to remove or isolate vocals (or other parts of a recording) from the rest. There is no universal, reliable way of doing this without having the original multi-track recordings. Different tracks will require different techniques to achieve maximum possible attenuation or isolation. This will depend on where the vocals are positioned in the stereo field, and on their frequency content compared to the rest of the audio.

    Tip +Advice -
    • It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of your original recording before attempting any of the editing described in this tutorial.

    Case 1: Vocal Removal with vocals in the middle and instruments spread around them

    If the vocals are panned in the center of a stereo track the so-called "vocal removal" technique can sometimes be effective by removing what is common to both tracks (that is, the vocals), leaving behind what is different (that is, the instrumentals). -

    The underlying technique in Audacity is to split the stereo track into its left and right channels, make both mono, invert all (or a selected part) of one of them then play back the result. Note, this removes everything panned in the center, not just vocals, and returns a dual mono result (both channels have the same audio). In some music this could mean removing instrumental parts. Removal of the vocals can often be incomplete leaving artifacts behind; this is especially true where there are backing vocals or where reverb (echo) has been applied as this spreads sound sources and makes them very hard to extract from each other. -

    -

    Vocal Reduction and Isolation

    -

    Audacity includes a Nyquist plugin effect to automate the steps involved in Case 1, at Effect > Vocal Reduction and Isolation. If you only wanted to automate Case 1 in the Vocal Reduction and Isolation effect, you would choose the option "Remove Center Classic (Mono)". As in Case 1 above, this removes the whole frequency spectrum of center-panned audio and returns a dual mono track. -

    However the default option for Vocal Reduction and Isolation "Remove Vocals" is to be preferred in most cases because this returns stereo output. -

    Vocal Reduction and Isolation also lets you specify frequencies above which or below which audio is not removed or isolated. This can help cure the common problem where center-panned bass or Hi-hat is also removed when removing vocals. -

    -
    -

    Case 2: Vocal Removal with vocals in one channel and everything else in the other

    -

    If you have an unusual stereo track where the vocals are mixed hard into one channel and everything else hard into the other channel you can split the stereo track into separate channels then delete the vocal channel. To isolate the vocals, rather than remove them, delete the other channel. -

    To split a stereo track, click on the downward pointing arrow at the top of the Track Control Panel then click on Split Stereo to Mono. To delete the unwanted channel, click the [X] to left of the downward pointing arrow. If you accidentally delete the wrong channel, use Edit > Undo to get it back. -

    -
    -

    Case 3: Vocal Isolation

    -

    You can use the Vocal Reduction and Isolation effect to attempt to isolate the vocals by choosing one of the Isolate Vocals in the Action dropdown menu in the dialog. But note that the end result may not be total vocal isolation or even satisfactory isolation of the vocals; it all depends on how the original recording was engineered. -

    -

    A technique using Audacity for vocal isolation

    -

    An Audacity user (Marco Diego) suggested the following technique for using Audacity to attempt to isolate vocals. It will not work successfully in all cases. -

    It is sometimes possible to isolate vocals by using Audacity's Noise Reduction to capture the noise profile of a song that has had vocals removed, then run Noise Reduction with that profile on the original mix before vocals were removed. -

    -
    1. Make a copy of your original stereo track -
      1. Select the whole track (click in empty space in its Track Control Panel for example where it says "Hz")
      2. -
      3. Copy the track with Edit > Copy
      4. -
      5. Create a new stereo track with Tracks > Add New > Stereo Track
      6. -
      7. Use Edit > Paste to make a copy of the original track in the new stereo track
    2. -
    3. Select the whole of the copied track (click in empty space in its Track Control Panel)
    4. -
    5. Remove the vocals in the copy by using Effect > Vocal Reduction and Isolation
    6. -
    7. The copied track should remain selected, so use Effect > Noise Reduction and click on the Get Noise Profile button
    8. -
    9. Now select the original track (click in empty space in its Track Control Panel)
    10. -
    11. Use Effect > Noise Reduction and click on the OK button
    12. -
    13. Delete the copied track (click in the [X] at the top left of its Track Control Panel)
    -
    The following may let you remove drums which are not centered but keep the vocals: -
    1. Use the steps above to create a track with isolated vocals.
    2. -
    3. Import the original song into Audacity again. Download the Bass to Center Nyquist plugin and install it. Use this plugin to move the bass frequencies to center.
    4. -
    5. Remove the drums (and the vocals) from the center using Effect > Vocal Reduction and Isolation.
    6. -
    7. Finally mix the isolated vocals back in.
    -
    -

    Using an instrumental track to isolate the vocals

    -

    In order for this to work you will need to have a studio version of the instrumental track in which the instrumental part is identical to the full track. Many studios release the instrumental tracks (with and without backup vocals) for use with things like karaoke. There are places online where you can buy these tracks (Karaoke-Version.com for example and some records even have them on the B side). MP3 encoding of one or both versions will create small differences that will make this technique less effective. -

    As opposed to the final mono track you get from removing vocals, this method will leave you with a full stereo track. As such, it becomes more important to try and match the quality of both tracks and align them before you isolate the vocals. -

    -
    1. Open Audacity and Import both the regular and instrumental tracks.
    2. -
    3. Select one of the tracks and use the Clip-handle drag-bars to roughly align the two tracks.
    4. -
    5. Zoom in really close and then zoom in more.
    6. -
    7. Exact alignment is critical. Pick a peak or trough in the left channel of one track and match it precisely with the left channel of the other track. If the alignment isn't right the process won't work.
    8. -
    9. Select the instrumental track, and invert it using Effect > Invert.
    10. -
    11. Use Ctrl + A to select all of both tracks.
    12. -
    13. Use Tracks > Mix > Mix and Render.
    -

    You should now have one combined track that should have a more diminished amplitude where the vocals were kept and the instrumentation removed. -

      The karaoke feature shows a bouncing ball that follows along text as audio plays.

      -

      The Karaoke command is enabled whenever you have at least one label track. If you have multiple label tracks, it uses only the first one. -

      The command brings up the Karaoke window, which displays the labels in a "bouncing ball" scrolling display. You can select a playback start point in the main tracks window and the Karaoke window will start from there. +

      The Extra > Timeline menu enables you to change the Timeline display mode between Minutes and Seconds (default setting) and Beats and Measures.

      Audacity automatically puts a space between words, so you do not need to put them in your labels. -

      You may want to split up lyrics such that the ball bounces per syllable rather than just for the whole word. To do this, create a label for each syllable, and end each with a hyphen ("-"), except the last syllable. For example, "Aud-" "a-" "ci-" "ty". The hyphen tells Audacity to not put a space between the syllables, as it does between words. Note there may still be space between the syllables, depending on how far apart they are in the timeline and the size of the Karaoke window. +

All other "Remove" options in this effect preserve the stereo image.

      The Isolate options all return (dual) mono output. The narrowness of the center slice can be adjusted with the "Strength" slider. Center isolation is not possible using the classic subtraction method.

      The Analyze option displays the amount of correlation between the stereo channels and the degree of likelihood that center removal or isolation will work effectively.

      This effect uses a moving band-pass filter to create its sound. A low frequency oscillator (LFO) is used to move the pass-band back and forth in the frequency spectrum. Resonances accentuate tones near that center of the band, and as that center frequency varies the accentuated frequencies vary too.
