After this, the beginning section should be quiet, and the track should sound more clear.Īfter this, cut out the first five seconds of silence. Then, select all the audio on that track and go back to “Effects”, then “Noise Reduction”, then click “OK”. Then click “Effects”, then “Noise Reduction”, then “Get Noise Profile”.
Once you click “Play”, the recording will still continue.Īfter you are done recording, select the first five seconds of silence on your track. If you would just like to stop for a brief time and gather yourself, click the “Pause” button. Once you click “Record” and you’ve finished, make sure to click the “Stop” button. It’s also important that the buttons on the top left corner (in order: “Pause”, “Play”, “Stop”, “Skip to Start”, “Skip to End”, and “Record”) all help in the recording process.
This is to make sure you can cut out any background noise that can be heard.
It’s best to use a microphone, but if you don’t have one, make sure you go to a quiet place to record.īefore you record, wait five seconds. When you go back to “Built-in Microphone”, Blue Snowball should now be an option. If this doesn’t show up on your computer, go to “Finder”, then “Sound”, then “Input”, and then there should be the option to select Blue Snowball, (sometimes you have to click “Show Volume” in the menu bar). If you are using the Blue Snowball, open Audacity and change “Built-in Microphone” (next to the microphone picture) to Blue Snowball. Put your Audacity file in the folder, and call it “audacity_ title of your project“ It’s a good idea to download “LAME Encoder”, in case there are any problems installing the Audacity program.Īll of the computers in the Paul Robeson Library, or the Digital Commons, have the program already installed.īefore recording anything, make sure you create a folder. For mac OS:ĭownload Audacity for mac OS X/macOS 10.7 to 10.14 (Audacity does not support 10.15, Catalina, or the most recent update)Īfter downloading these files, you should be able to open the “Audacity” file and the program should start right away. For Windows:ĭownload Audacity for Windows 10/8/7/Vista (XP support has been dropped)Īfter downloading these files, you should be able to open the “Audacity” file and the program should start right away. All relevant links for downloading the program can be found here.
