sadly you are learning it the bad and overcomplicated way one example to listen to 1 track just click solo instead of individually muting the other tracks...
Thank you for doing this. I tried to watch 2 other "tutorials" on the same subject before I found this one, but both of them were infested with one or two minutes of blah-blah-mumble-mumble-mumble at the beginning without the first word about how to use Audacity and I gave up on them. This one is perfect: no verbal diarrhea, clear and distinct elocution and useful information. Thanks again.
This is a well developed resource, with the transcripts available for learners with disabilities and handouts to help learners apply the learning as they work with the tools. Thank you for providing this openly and putting a creative content license on it so that teachers can remix it to suit their own contexts.
hooray for you to have made this video. this mixing of tracks is the principal reason i have to buy this wavepad s/w. and until now have not found any tutorial on how its done. this makes my day.
Hello there, what I'm trying to do with audacity is recording harmony on multiple tracks but the problem I'm facing is when I play the first track or the guide track to guide me while I'm recording the second track so I'm duplicating the first track to the second track like on the second track I can hear the lead as well as the harmony. How can I can I play the first track to guide me like a click while I'm recording the second track without duplicating?
instead of silencing tht particular music where the recording takes place .. could u keep tht music as a background music instead of silencing the whole thing?
Yes, instead of the "fade out" effect, just use the "amplify" effect and select the portion of the song you want to use as background, then reduce the amplification or loudness. You may want to use gradual "steps" to create a type of fade-out and fade-in effect of your own so the sound level change isn't quite as harsh or abrupt. Also, try a search on YT for "amplify with audacity". Hope that helps.
Thank you so much. It's an amazing Tutorial.. All the DAWs looks like rocket science for me as I haven't learned.. But looked very Complicated and thanks to Audacity for keeping it simple and thanks to your great explanation..
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR, THIS IS ONE OF FANTASTIC TUTORIAL EVER SEEN, YOUR TUTORIAL IS ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTANDABLE , AND I THING YOU ARE THE BEST ON YOU TUBE TEACHING MASTER, AND ALSO I LEARN VERY IMPORTANT THINGS FROM YOUR VIDEO TUTORIAL PROGRAMS , THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR, AHAD FROM SYLHET BANGLADESH,
I use the time shift tool & it moves both tracks at the same time. How can I stop this to just move the bottom tracks without moving the top track too?
Thank you very much for your video, but I have some problems with Time shift Tool, It wouldn't work for me, two songs are moving at the same time and the same direction whenever I use time shift tool , could you please tell me what can I do ? Thank you. Ken
Can you help me? I have a question, I'm using mixing board do I also need an audio interface for my condenser microphone? because when I record my voice on a separate track there's still an instrumental music on it, how to get rid of that? I want to record only my voice separated with the music.
Hi; Greetings; I need to import and sync several audio tracks from different recorders into a single file. Does Audacity have a "sync" feature? Plural Eyes is great, except that it requires a video timeline and doesn't work on audio only tracks... TY
Can ANYONE answer this for me? I am working on a project and I have the 2 songs in the program. When I go to "Effect" in the top tool bar, everything is greyed out. Do I have to buy an upgrade?
I'm using custom mix and adding 2 stereo song tracks for a 5.1 channel output, but my 6th channel which is the right stereo is always muffled when output (can only hear the bass while the mids and trebles is muffled and crackles), do you know why?
Thank you ! I would like to know, when you mix the songs with audacity, do you use headphones or monitors ? I mix my songs with headphones but when i play it on the monitors it sound totally different.
please answer this comment as soon as you can .... but Please TELL ME WHAT KIND OF MICROPHONE DO I NEED WITH AUDICY (ON MAC) to create quality audio???
Thankyou so much sir, it really helps me a lot as a beginner. This was only recommended by my classmate in order for me to use whenever there is a project at school.
using a hand held voice recorder from Wal Mart called Icd Px333.1st use a 3.5mm 1/8 male to 2 rca stereo phono audio speaker cable.2nd 2 Rca female jack y splitter 3.5mm adapter.3rd a 3-pin xlr female to rca female jack audio adater.I use mic in symbol.Use the usb to transfer the files to the pc.It will show two different tracks but its really 1 track or connected.I need to make 1 track doing it that way to master my voice ? And I'ma try moving further away from the mic and see what happens Thanks ?
Thank you so much for the above tutorial. I wouldn't be able to be using the software only with the available Manual and Help. Please keep bringing its features! :-)
Covers use of some of the basic tools, but not exactly what I was looking for. It would have been closer to what I need to learn if you had the music at lower volume playing behind the speaking parts instead of the music being completely silenced. In my understanding of the term, that's mixing: mixing multiple tracks into one. Maybe you cover this in another video. I'll check.
7 years later, this video helps me out
Indeed
sadly you are learning it the bad and overcomplicated way
one example to listen to 1 track just click solo instead of individually muting the other tracks...
Lol
Mee too
Really man this is helping me out too!
Im trying to add 200 audio files next to each other, not mix them
9yrs later and your video is still so helpful. Thanks

Great stuff Heather - please feel free to use and spread the love!
Thank you. Brilliant. I've just mixed up the music for my school concert. Can't begin to tell you how helpful you've been!
hooray for you to have made this video. this mixing of tracks is the principal reason
i have to buy this wavepad s/w. and until now have not found any tutorial
on how its done. this makes my day.
Very helpful. Thank you. This was exactly the information I needed for a project.
when I click on the time move thingy, every file moves at the same time.
Exactly the information needed. Clear, concise and professional. Thank you.
Was going to try and segue stuff together in Ableton - didn't realise you can do it in audicity. Thank you!
best audacity tutorial ever. smartly presented and so easy to learn. thanks
This is so clear and so helpful thank you. Literally covers all the things I wanted to learn
after 9 years later this video helps me lot.
Thank you! This is a really well explained video. It told me exactly what I needed to know in Audacity.
This was the most helpful video on Audacity, especially for a beginner like me! Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

How can I can I play the first track to guide me like a click while I'm recording the second track without duplicating?
wow , you know this s/w ... i sat on edge of my chair spellbound with what you were showing us all
instead of silencing tht particular music where the recording takes place .. could u keep tht music as a background music instead of silencing the whole thing?
Yes, instead of the "fade out" effect, just use the "amplify" effect and select the portion of the song you want to use as background, then reduce the amplification or loudness. You may want to use gradual "steps" to create a type of fade-out and fade-in effect of your own so the sound level change isn't quite as harsh or abrupt. Also, try a search on YT for "amplify with audacity". Hope that helps.
Is there a way to fine tune the fade in/out. Like linear or exponential?
How do you set only one wave and not two as I current have?
I just want one sound wave per track.
Thank you so much. It's an amazing Tutorial.. All the DAWs looks like rocket science for me as I haven't learned.. But looked very Complicated and thanks to Audacity for keeping it simple and thanks to your great explanation..
I have a problem. When I'm trying to move just one of the tracks, the other moves with it, and I can't figure out what to do.
I know mine does the same did you figure it out
Not yet.
***** hold down shift as you do it, if you haven't already worked that out
Thanks for the tip.
Renae Gould OMG! !!thankuuuu
It really worked☺
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR, THIS IS ONE OF FANTASTIC TUTORIAL EVER SEEN, YOUR TUTORIAL IS ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTANDABLE , AND I THING YOU ARE THE BEST ON YOU TUBE TEACHING MASTER, AND ALSO I LEARN VERY IMPORTANT THINGS FROM YOUR VIDEO TUTORIAL PROGRAMS , THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR, AHAD FROM SYLHET BANGLADESH,
Very helpful! And no "walkabouts" wherein presenters talk. too. much. Thank you! Good job.
I use the time shift tool & it moves both tracks at the same time. How can I stop this to just move the bottom tracks without moving the top track too?
I have a long music 8hours to be as background. Is it possible for audacity to load such long music?
This is super helpful for the basics I need to get done - many thanks
Help! Whenever i drag my tracks with the shift tool, everything moves all at once even if i want it to move one track only
+Kate Lacerna split the track on left toolbar menu :) hope this helps
+Kate Lacerna hold shift while you drag the part
Hey! you can move one track by holding down shift at the same time. :)
Thank you very much for your video, but I have some problems with Time shift Tool, It wouldn't work for me, two songs are moving at the same time and the same direction whenever I use time shift tool , could you please tell me what can I do ? Thank you. Ken
You are a lifesaver! I've been trying to figure this out for weeks-THANX!
Thank you! I cant wait to start making song mashups!
Cool.. Have you posted anything yet? I do one minute mixes nearly every day and post to youtube. Feel free to check me out. Peace.
thank you. it helped me to make my own guided meditation. you are doing a wonderful job. god bless you. stay happy and healthy
Brilliant :) Thanks so much for this video - explains it really well and is the sort of audio editing I am hoping to do! Cheers!
hey there, i have two channels of the same track? could you explain that or how to transform to one?
This was excellent! It helped me so much, thank you!
How about not to completely mute but serve as a background. Is that possible?
Can you help me? I have a question, I'm using mixing board do I also need an audio interface for my condenser microphone? because when I record my voice on a separate track there's still an instrumental music on it, how to get rid of that? I want to record only my voice separated with the music.
Great video, well done and thank you, just what I needed!
thank you for a great video. My problem os how to make the second track starts 1 second after the first one
why does my mp3 has two layers each of sound waves, unlike yours that only has 1 layer??
Great video tutorial, it helped me a lot ...thank you for doing this. Just what I wanted to find out.

Can ANYONE answer this for me? I am working on a project and I have the 2 songs in the program. When I go to "Effect" in the top tool bar, everything is greyed out. Do I have to buy an upgrade?
I had this issue. Make sure you hit "Stop" NOT "Pause" when you want to choose an effect.
I'm using custom mix and adding 2 stereo song tracks for a 5.1 channel output, but my 6th channel which is the right stereo is always muffled when output (can only hear the bass while
the mids and trebles is muffled and crackles), do you know why?
pizza crumz go to ted browns music
How do I undo the silence on a track? I messed up and need to bring it back.
Thank you ! I would like to know, when you mix the songs with audacity, do you use headphones or monitors ? I mix my songs with headphones but when i play it on the monitors it sound totally different.
Very helpful in completing my project, thanks!

Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Really, really good 1. Especially you attached the files you used. Thanks a lot!
Great tutorial, cheers! Btw you can also click solo to play only 1 track specifically.
This was very helpful, thanks! ...btw, what is that song you are using? it sounds cool
Really helpful tutorials Simon, thanks a lot.
Is there a way for when you want to Time Shift something, you can get it at the exact time you want?
Thankyou so much sir, it really helps me a lot as a beginner. This was only recommended by my classmate in order for me to use whenever there is a project at school.

"So that sounds ok." Sure lol.
Thank you so much for the above tutorial. I wouldn't be able to be using the software only with the available Manual and Help. Please keep bringing its features! :-)
This was so helpful. Thank you.
you got a lot of options.. plugins?

You can also hit "Solo", which automatically mutes out every other track that doesn't have "Solo" selected.
Ridiculously helpful thank you
