Recording Audio with Audacity

To record your voice on Audacity, check that your microphone/input systems are properly connected, especially if you are not using your computer’s built in microphone. We don’t recommend using the inbuilt microphone because the sound quality is likely to be poor. 
Make sure you have the right settings in Audacity.
You can select the input system you are using for your recording session on the drop down menu.  
 
 
You are ready to record. 
Click on the Red record button and start recording.
You will immediately see a track being built. 
To pause your recording, click on the blue pause button. 
When you are done, click on the yellow stop button. 

Once recorded into Audacity, you can edit and export your audio tracks.
