Course Description

In this course you will learn how to use audacity to mix down the audio for your animations.

Before starting, I will show you how to download this free software.

Then we will learn how to create a new project

Then I will show you some tricks to playback the audio, how to transport the cursor up and down, how to zoom in, zoom out.

How to manage different tracks, work with waveforms, understanding the spectrogram...

The difference between stereo and mono channels.

Then after you know all the basics, we will dive in to learn how to use the tools so you can understand the editing process inside audacity.

How to cut, move clips around, use labels.

And also, how to record audio with your smart phone, and make it sound decent, when you have no budget.

You will learn a little bit about acoustics.

And if you have a studio room with foam on the walls, then I will show you how to record inside audacity.

Then, I will show you how to improve your recordings, we will take the recording made with my smart phone, clean it up, use some equalization and compression, and make it sound good enough for a simple animation.

Then we will edit the audio and do the mixing for a little scene of an animated short.

Ok.

So, hop right in, enroll and let's get it started with this journey, so you can start mixing the audio for your animations.

See you inside!

I really enjoy the way Mark teaches. He's very enthusiastic, which greatly helps with the whole learning process!! The course does need to be updated though, as some of his tips were no longer relevant (Hence the 4.5 stars). I have a much better understanding of Audacity after taking this course and can now easily achieve the results I was looking for (Audio for animation).

It was excellent. Just one little thing -- sometimes it was hard to know whether letters were B, Z, D or V -- some onscreen indication would help. (I hear there is an app called "nohboard" which shows keys on screen as they are pressed; maybe that would help?). Great course.

By Ahmed Ali Al-Maqbali on 4/22/2020

I recommend this course for Beginner Level only, for people who no ZERO in Audacity. ❤

By Konstantinos Mallis on 1/3/2020

Usefull for beginners on sound editing, tips and shortcuts on audacity come in handy.

By Khaled Saif on 12/28/2019

Very good course, exactly like expected. Instead of watching so many youtube videos on how to make your recording better, just watch this course. And more important, he explains why and how each thing work, unlike the youtube guys who just simply give you the numbers.

By Markus Miklas on 11/23/2018

I have learned a lot about the features of Audacity. For my personal taste, the training is slightly too simple, the trainer repeats the info a bit too often. Still, I have a positive impression, after all it is not my only training from this trainer.

By Motaz B.Amer on 6/24/2017

He is very good explaining, have great enthusiasm, and very pedagogical.

By Scott Slager on 4/11/2017

I already use this program to make different ring tones. Using those short cuts has made editing audio easier. Removing the back ground noise chapter has really helped. Thank you.
