There are only two days left to get 40% off the already low prices on the Audacity Bootcamp online school courses for podcasters and audiobook narrators. I’ve received a great response on these courses and many have already taken advantage of this 40% off special. But don’t take my word for it. Take a look at these reviews:
“These are great courses. I have been using Audacity for close to 20 years, but I’m still learning new things. Mike is great at explaining things and it’s cool to see his process. If you are a podcaster or audiobook narrator who records and edits with Audacity, you will be helped by this course.” – David, Broadcaster, Podcaster, Author
“Mike Adams makes learning Audacity easy and fun! His clear and thorough step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, and you begin using Audacity right away with him, creating your own spoken word projects. He explains in detail how to record, edit, and produce quality audio in a style that is easy to follow and understand. If you are interested in learning how to create a podcast, an audio book, or any kind of spoken word recording using Audacity, these are the courses to take! You won’t be sorry.” – Deirdre, System Architect, Technology Services Operation and Support.
“I must say that Mike Adams has got to be the greatest Instructor for teaching the Audacity platform that I have EVER come across. I got tired of having to hunt out recording studios to help me create my radio dramas and decided to search out an instructor that would be able to help a newbie like me. Mike Adams fit the bill! He not only “took me by the hand” and walked me step-by-step through his course, but he covered ALL the material needed including something as simple as “where to click and why” which is EXACTLY what a beginner like myself, needed. I have excelled in mastering the Audacity platform and couldn’t have done it without Mike Adams and this course.” – Tom, Radio Drama Writer and Producer
“Mike Adams is a wonderful instructor who walks us step by step in this course from the beginning to the advanced features available in Audacity, and if you have questions he usually answers within 24 hours. I’ve already recommended his courses a few times in different Voiceover groups on Facebook.” – Diane, Podcaster, Audiobook Narrator

Reducing the amount of noise in a track is important for clean audio. Now that we have the ability to do it via realtime effects, it can be done non-destructively. But not everyone is on board with using realtime effects yet so I want to take a few minutes to show you how to apply the Noise Reduction effect that comes packaged with Audacity.
