Absolutely the best tutorial I’ve found on audacity so far. You covered a lot of ground in a short period of time and I understood all of it. I’ve seen tutorials just on noise reduction which were just as long as your 16 tips video. And those were harder to understand. You have a gift. Thank you.

I have no words to say except THANK YOU. Just 7 minutes into the video I just paused and i tried one tip for noise reduction, and i feel already like a pro. This comes from a technology challenged person like myself. You are a great teacher. I have been struggling with audacity for using it something which so personal to me, and I had already given up. I tried so many videos out there. They are all just about the presenter, and not the content. You hit the point straight and hard. Please make more videos on audacity. I always knew that this is an awesome software for recording but found it intimidating. You demystified it. Thank you again.By the way, your video did not come up in my searches. Instead, Some stupid long fetched videos came up. i guess it has to do with the you tube algorithm.
