About Audacity 

 

Audacity is an open-source audio editing software, or DAW (digital audio workstation). Open source means that the software is released non-commercially and available to anyone for free.  

Audacity allows you to edit audio in a lot of ways. You can adjust elements of the audio such as volume, pitch and speed. As well as reorganising the audio by making cuts to the track to keep or remove the elements required. 

In this task you will be asked to use two of the audacity tools you will use most often for editing radio. You will need to cut the audio file into chunks using the selection tool and use the time shift tool to reorganise the chunks into the correct sequence.
