That means that once you’ve edited or trimmed your audio, you can’t undo what you have done unless you use the ‘undo’ function.īasically, if you make a change and decide you want to undo it after you’ve done more work, you’ll need to get rid of all the edits you’ve done in the meantime, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. The only thing to bear in mind while you’re editing is that the majority of Audacity’s edits are destructive. If you have already recorded your audio and just want to use Audacity for editing, open the file and drag it into the main window of the audio editor user interface.Įditing with Audacity is also quite simple because all the editing options and effects are easily accessible and can be dragged into your audio at the click of a button. To start basic recording, just connect your microphone (if you’re just using your PC’s built-in microphone, you can skip this step) and press the record button. Using Audacity is a simple and beginner-friendly process. You can use Audacity across a variety of platforms, meaning that it’s widely compatible and allows you to be flexible with your recording.īecause Audacity is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux and isn’t restrictive in terms of what kinds of system builds it can work with, you basically don’t need to worry about your ability to use Audacity unless your PC was built more than about 15 years ago.
