Audacity for Instructors and Podcasters - Audacity Mastery (Udemy.com)

The author and narrator-- though not speaking in her native language--not only successfully produces efficient and eloquent English, but there is both insight and clarity of delivery throughout. Not only are the nuts and bults of Audacity thoroughly covered and well, she also details several fundamental principles which are often ignored or only mentioned as an aside in many a course. The student is the beneficiary of these insights and this level of organization and simple, straightforward explanation/demonstration; all important in explaining or executing any highly skilled endeavor. Audacity is no small exception, sound editing no small exception. Kudos, instructor. I would purchase any program designed and executed by this instructor.

My first course with this instructor. I actually purchased it a few years ago, then had my studies sidetracked by a new job, so really only got past Lesson 2 this morning. Very pleased. Instructor's delivery is clear, concise, not slow enough to stress any student out, but perfect in light of her lovely accent. The lessons are easily comprehended. The course is a wee bit dated now - Part 3 has students downloading and installing a third-party plugin which modern Audacity (v 2.4.2, anyway) does not recognize. Perhaps Audacity's built-in compressors are good enough now that a plugin isn't needed; I'll have to experiment a little. Aside from that one minor item of note, I have zero complaints. Many extras are included that I would have never expected - remapping & customizing Audacity's File Menu to save the user's time, downloadable pdfs with keyboard command lists, detailed breakdown of how to generate fun effects, etc.. More than worth the cost of the course, even in its "historical" state.

Es fehlten mir Elemente im Kurs. Es wurde z.B. angekündigt, dass in einem späteren Kapitel die Bearbeitung von Männer- und Frauenstimmen gezeigt werden sollte. Doch dieses Kapitel gibt es nicht in dem Kurs. Ein paar Basics sind gut und richtig erklärt, aber mir war der Kurs nicht umfangreich genug.

It's a very informative course on the program Audacity and how to use it, Agnes is a very good instructor and easy o follow. Podcasters and video producers should absolutely take this course which I recommend highly .

This is the first Udemy Course that got me through the complete process, of doing what I'm trying to do. In this case making much better Podcast Audio files. The Russian (?) accent was a little rough sometimes and humorous for this American. If I can't give a FIVE-Star rating I ain't sure I want to rate it! This lady didn't play games. She gave me everything I needed to complete my ability to make much better Audio Files. She didn't present a single topic that's required to make Podcast Videos that required me to purchase another Udemeny Course (from her). Seriously though, I put my first two podcasts up (45 minutes each) and they are getting good results (for my first try at it), despite my not doing things right. It's been two months and I'm getting ready to start things up again, thanks to the General Motors strike and this course. Until I took this course I was making my audio file with brute force. I had no idea of Audacity's awesome capabilities. Thank you for this course.

The course is more basic than I was expecting (and hoping). Secondly, the instructor's accent and the volume of her voice fading in and out on occasion, makes the audio difficult to hear and understand at times. I'm quite disappointed with this one.

I really appreciated the course in that it provided lots of new info for me even thought I have used audacity before. Of special interest to me was the time saving tips scattered through out the course. Well worth the time and money. Good job!!

With this course I came from zero to hero in Audacity. Agnes did really good job. Afther the course I had few specific questions and I got fantastic support and response from Agnes same day. If you want to learn Audacity, I advice you to take this course!

As someone completely new to Audacity I found the course easy to follow, and was able to use information right from the first lesson. Subsequent lessons did not disappoint, as there was value in each one. Agnes knows her stuff, and knows how to present it clearly and concisely. Thank you so much!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The course is suitable for people who are new to audacity and covers the most important features of the program. The lectures were well paced and unhurried. The lecturer clearly knows not only the audacity program well but has a deep knowledge of sound in general. This course makes sound editing a skill anybody could master.
