The Book of Audacity
Here are some details about the book—new from No Starch Press:
The Book of Audacity shows you how to complete fun and useful projects with Audacity, the cross-platform, open source audio editor and recorder. You’ll learn how to digitize your vinyl record collections, create podcasts, record live performances, create super-high fidelity recordings, mix and master multi-track recordings, and create ringtones, special effects, and more. You’ll also learn how to package your work for online distribution, whether that means distributing a podcast on iTunes or selling an album on CD Baby.
The book teaches you how to:
- Record podcasts, interviews, and live performances
- Be your own backing band or chorus
- Edit, splice, mix, and master multitrack recordings
- Create super-high fidelity and surround-sound recordings
- Digitize your vinyl or tape collection and clean up noise, hisses, and clicks
- Create custom ringtones and sweet special effects
I’m reading the book right now, and will post a review once I’m finished.
