RE: audacity tutorial
VIP software has a great guide by David Bayles It does not hold your hand so it is not for the beginner computer user but it gives a nice quick starting guide for jaws users. http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-2.0.5-Guide.html hth bb
RE: audacity tutorial
What Happened to Jene's tutorial? I know Rick had it at some point, but who knows now. Yeah it's old, but just like Jonathan Mozen's Sound Forge one, it's still usible since you use the software the same way at the very basics. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Joe Bollard Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 5:52 AM To: pc- audio Subject: audacity tutorial hello friends, i have audacity on my laptop, windows seven and jaws 11, i'm looking for an accessible tutorial for audacity, any help will be really appreciated, travel safely, joe.

Re: Looking for an Audacity tutorial
Hi, To fix the delay after the event, you can time-shift tracks with respect to each other. This is described in the Jaws guide for audacity 1.3.2 referred to in a previous post. In the advanced editing section there's a section on aligning tracks. When you're doing this you'll probably need to set the format of selection start to hh:mm:ss + milliseconds, so you can get the correction accurate enough (see the section on the Selection bar for details). For future recordings, in Preferences, in the Audio I/O category, you can set a latency correction in milliseconds: The recorded track will be delayed by that amount (which can be negative). David Bailes. original message - Now, I have another problem. I am trying to record a couple of my friends singing a song with a karaoke track. It seems that when Audacity lays down the vocals, there is a delay that results in the vocals being one beat off. Is there any way I can fix that? I sure hope it isn't my mixer and sound card. ___ Yahoo! Mail is the world's favourite email.

Introduction Audacity is a free multi-track audio editor. You can use it for recording, simple editing of single tracks, or more advanced editing involving multiple tracks. This guide is for the 1.3.2 beta version of Audacity. The reason for choosing the beta version is that a lot of work has been done since the last stable version (1.2.6) to make Audacity easier to use for users of screen readers. There is still work to be done in this area, but version 1.3.2 is much easier to use than version 1.2.6. The downside of using the beta version is that it still contains several bugs, and these are mentioned throughout the guide. Audacity 1.3.2 can be downloaded from audacity.sourceforge.net. Audacity is an extremely powerful program, and this is only an introductory guide. For more information see the Audacity website, and the Audacity 1.3.2 User Manual which is under construction. Note that the Help in Audacity is inaccessible to Jaws. Projects The objects which Audacity edits are known as projects. So projects are equivalent to documents in Microsoft Word, and workbooks in Microsoft Excel. An Audacity project simply consists of a number of tracks.There are a number of different types of track in Audacity: audio, label, and time. However, the latter two are inaccessible to Jaws users, and so this guide will only describe the use of audio tracks. For many simple tasks you'll probably only have one track in a project. You can save an Audacity project using the Audacity project file format, and this preserves all the tracks in the project. However, you only need to save a project in this format if you intend to continue working on the project in the future. Cursor Audacity has a cursor to specify a particular time during the audio, and this is similar to the cursor in Microsoft Word. The cursor in Audacity is used for defining times such as: the start of playback, the position where you want to start selecting a time range, and the place where audio is pasted from the clipboard. Contents The remaining sections of the guide are as follows: Main window. Opening an audio file. Saving audio. Playback. Toolbars. Track table. Selection bar. Moving the cursor. Selecting audio. Basic editing. More advanced editing. Recording. Preferences. Main window Main components Title bar. When the window contains an unnamed project, for example, when you first start Audacity, then the text in the title bar is Audacity. When the window contains a named project, then the text is the name of the project. To read the title bar press INSERT + T. Menu bar. Toolbars. Track table. This contains the tracks which make up the project. Selection bar. This contains controls for reading and setting the cursor position and the start and end/length of any selected time range. Status bar. When the mouse is over a control in the interface then often the status bar gives help on using the control, though this is of little interest to Jaws users. During a recording, the status bar gives the disk space which remains for recording. When there is no text in the status bar, then if you read the status bar, then Jaws reads the contents of the controls on the selection bar (together with a spurious graphic 60034). To read the status bar, press INSERT + PAGE DOWN. Moving around the window As in any window, to move to the menu bar press ALT, and to leave it press ESC. Pressing CTRL + F6 moves you around the following components: Toolbars, Track table, Selection bar, Toolbars, etc. Pressing CTRL + SHIFT + F6 moves you around in the opposite direction. Opening an audio file To open either an audacity project file or a standard audio file, use the Open dialog, which is on the File menu (or CTRL + O). When you first open Audacity, the window contains an empty project, and so when you open an audio file, it
