Audacity - free sound editor

Audacity is an easy-to-use program for editing audio files. At first glance it may seem a little confusing, but simple management movements can be made even without experience with similar utilities. This is an excellent tool for editing music and creating ringtones. After the program is downloaded and installed, the main working window will open:

Through the main menu you need to import the desired audio file. After this, the window will change and look like this:



One track - one panel. You can add several sound files and work with them one by one. For convenience, you need to give each a unique name. The top field corresponds to the left channel, the bottom - to the right.

In order to remove an unnecessary part, you just need to click the mouse on the required moment at the beginning and at the end. Press Delete all, part will disappear, and the melody will be reunited. The program offers a variety of filters and options that allow you to remove noise, add volume, or apply an effect. You can familiarize yourself with them yourself, or you can resort to the help of the Internet, where many educational videos and articles are posted.
