• Record live audio.
• Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
• Edit MP3 and WAV sound files.
• Cut, copy, splice, and mix sounds together.
• Change the speed or pitch of a recording.

After making the audio recording on Audacity, click on File > Export as WAV or File > Export as MP3, name the file, and save it in your preferred location. When naming the file, choose a name that clearly identifies what the recording is. For example, if an English class lecture is recorded on February 5, the file could be named English2.5. If making several different recordings, create a folder to place all of the Audacity audio files into. This will make it easier to find the recordings later. The audio recording can now be played on the computer using Windows Media Player (loaded on the school computer networks), or any program that plays audio files.
