Step-by-Step Guide for Authors to record their book using Audacity
"I'm intimidated by the software" - said almost every author I've ever worked with. If the software was easier to use, I know more authors would be willing to record their own audiobooks.
I want to break down barriers to audiobooks for authors, and it seems like many, many authors hit this particular technological barrier. One of the simplest, easiest-to-use recording programs, that has punch & roll capability, is Audacity, available at https://www.audacityteam.org
So, let's break down, step-by-step and click-by-click, how to record your audiobook, using the popular (and free!) audiobook recording software program Audacity. It's easier than you think!
In this episode you'll learn how to, using Audacity:
- Download the software
- Test your recording levels
- Push the right buttons to record, stop, and punch & roll
- Save your audio files so they don't get out of order
- Connect better with your listeners, by pacing your reading
