To use Audacity to create an audio file, import any needed audio files, record additional audio by pressing the record button and speaking into the microphone, and delete any unwanted sections by highlighting them and pressing delete. Finally, go to file and export the completed audio as an MP3 file to later add to a video editing program.

1. How to use Audacity
By Natalie Conneely

2. To import audio, like the ‘7 things’ soundtrack
I needed.

3. Record the sound by pressing the record button
and speaking into the microphone.

4. If there is sound you do not want, simply
highlight it with the mouse and press delete
on the keyboard.

5. Then when you’re done, go to file, export to
complete the radio advert. Save as a mp3 file
which will enable you to put it into moviemaker
later on.
