Multimedia Literacy: Audio

Icons made by FreePik from www.flaticon.com

Whether you are working on a podcast, audio essay, or news story, learning the basics of recording and editing audio are essential to your success.

Note: Audacity is currently NOT SUPPORTED by MacOS Catalina; it will not let you record audio. If you are running Catalina, we may wish to use Garageband on your macbook. You can find a workaround to allow Audacity to record in Catalina here. [November 2019].
