Audacity is a simple to use software program with an intuitive interface. Use it to record and edit audio files for podcasts and other audio applications. In this VirtShop, makers will learn to navigate the Audacity interface, learn basic recording of voice narration for podcasting as well as putting music behind your narration. We will learn to edit tracks and look at special effects that can spice up your recording and then learn to save the file for use in a podcast or other application.
