Most people laugh at me when I tell them I use audacity for my edits & remixes, I really don't care because it gets the job done for me.

Great Video, i picked up Sound booth years back and use it all the time to clean up mixes, A long time ago i was asked to step in and dj for a all female roller derby league. I was able to use the sound editing software to build a set of female punk rock tracks editing out some foul language to make if family friendly and the teams loved it.

You need to import them into Audacity and then export them separately so not how you're hoping I would guess

Yes, if you want to record - say- your DJ software, you need audio routing, and Soundflower can achieve this. Also look at Black Hole (free) and Loopback (paid for).

Just learn to use a DAW. Music production is a whole other ball game. I make music but was curious about DJing funny how this was one of the first videos that showed up lol There's a lot of great free DAWs out there. Even if you don't want to produce DAWs offer more versatility when it comes to making mash ups, remixing, effects of tempo and pitch.

That's certainly one option, Audacity works great though and is fine for a decent portion of our audience who use it regularly

I always found the Audacity user interface confusing. I have an old Pro Tools DiGi001 system running on an old G4 Mac. Does the job and the interface is a hell of a lot more elegant and easier to navigate in my humble opinion.

Is it my or does Audacity look like ReCycle from Reason?? I used ReCycle to edit, chop, stretch, reverse, and normalize. Than I could save it to wave, or MP3 like back in 2005. I would used the Sony Vegas app or Adobe app to arrange.

Believe you can batch normalise tracks in Audacity with the use of chains, but you'll likely want go for a different software that specialises in that, eg MP3Gain or Platinum Notes :)

Hi Phil. I use audacity to record my mix's through controller to iRig Stream to laptop. Is there any way of recording straight from controller to audacity? Because I get a humming noise when going through iRig. All my levels are low. I watched one of your videos about virtual cable and still couldn't record without iRig!! Thanks 👍🏼

Virtual DJ, latest version you can do it "live" with the stems feature and record the song. That's what I do, just takes time. Also make my own a cappella/samples that way. Being able to do it at will in VDJ is awesome though. There is also plugin's for DAW that can do it, but they come at a price. Like iZotope RX $1199 :-)

@@digitaldjtips we talked before and we said we need more infraction with the audience and attracting new audiences and make the loyalty to the courses increase by interacting with you guys in the most thing they love, and also they many people I see here are new into djing so maybe this will encourage them when you give them a chance every month and the rewards could be something simple like a free course for a period of time a simple headphones or a colouration with any dj software membership, I started djing 2004 but I never got to really care until when youtube was made 2005 I think and there was a guy from England his name I can't remember escalte maybe and he made something called the 10 min mix competition and it encouraged me to dj more, all I'm saying because I am a regular subscriber to your channel this is a huge missing link between you guys as great dj school and youtubers and the people it will make things real and cost nothing, think about it ♡ all the love and respect 🙌
