I recently converted some old cassette tapes to a digital format and when I imported the files into Audacity, they had a considerable amount of DC offset. In this video I show you how I corrected the DC offset with the high pass filter that’s built into Audacity.

In this video I demonstrate how to synchronize audio tracks in Audacity using Sync-Lock Tracks and how to use the Label Track to separate groups of synchronized tracks from each other. I am using Audacity 3.7.1 on a MacBook Pro.

In this video I show you how to use Auto Duck tool and the Envelope Tool in Audacity 3.7.1. Both of these tools come with Audacity and are effective ways to duck the volume of an intro music track on your podcast during a VoiceOver.
