Recording is very easy in Audacity. Even though being a simple process, Audacity has some powerful recording tools we can use for music making, blogging, voice-over and so on.

This video tutorial is a combination of both Tutorial 6 and 18. You can see a full list of the available Audacity tutorials at the end of this post.

6 How to Record

Procedure:

Recording in Audacity is very simple. Once you have audacity open, all you need to do is click the RECORD button on the Transport Controls. Audacity will automatically start a new track for you and begin recording sound.

18 How to Mulit-Track Record

Procedure:

Audacity allows you record as many tracks as you need. Tracks can be recorded at different times allowing you to layer sound into projects freely – this is multitrack recording.

Multitrack recording is very easy in Audacity. As you have seen in previous tutorials, to record a track you just need to set the recording level and press the RECORD button. When you are ready to record a second track you just need to repeat that process – set your record level and press RECORD. Audacity will automatically create a new track for you.
