hey everyone and welcome to another HD tutorial and this one's going to be on audacity audacity is a freeware application for anything your video or not your videos but for audio only this is an audio editing freeware program and I just want to do a brief tutorial for you guys on how to download and install it as I'll be doing more tutorials hopefully on like cool tricks that you can do with it so this is the first part of the video series on audacity and I hope you like this tutorial as well as the other videos to come so thanks for watching subscribe this alright welcome to my desktop here I'm going to show you guys exactly how and where to get audacity first of all I'm going to open up a web browser I'm just going to use Safari for the purpose of this tutorial because it is the fastest web browser that I have right now so right now we're going to go to the top and just go to any major search engine maybe Google will shine a search whatever you want then I'm going to type in audacity and I'll do you guys a favor of putting this link right here audacity.sourceforge.net ascription so this is actually the audacity website very basic very simple and you can see right here at the top there is a download tab where you can actually download the freeware itself so I'm just going to click on that and I'll give you guys this exact link right here so that you guys can just pause the video and get it in the description and you'll be able to download it as quickly as possible so here there are two versions of audacity the first one is a stable version 1.2 which is Rebecca recommended for all users it's the most complete version but it's not the latest version and they have it again for Windows for Mac OS 10 and for Linux then we have the Windows and Mac OS and Linux version for the beta 1.3 version for the purpose of this tutorial I'm going to download the Windows version 1.2 because I'm not gonna go into the beta this is going to be the simplest download so what they give you right here is the installer and all you have to do is click on the installer it'll say you're an operating system right here since I clicked on the windows button so I'm going to click on audacity one point one six installer it's going to be a dot exe file so it's going to take you a SourceForge and you have to pick which one what you want to do with the application I'm going to hit open so that it actually actually opens the dot exe installer so first it's going to download it and then it's going to open so I'll come back to you guys hopefully when this when this is done it's already done downloading so I'm in order to run it just hit the Run button and it'll start up the Installer and if you AC does pop-up if user account control pops up just hit allow or continue for everything so I'm just going to exit out of the web browser in the background here and here we have the audacity setup so this is going to install audacity one point two point six which is currently the latest version however if you're watching this video it might be a later version out now but same instructions apply so just click Next I'm going to accept the license agreement hit next and this will tell you all about the lead developers and all the credits they're giving about the software hit next for that and this isn't directly directory in which it will install again hit next and I'm going to create a desktop icon and associate audacity project files you just hit next and install so this is going to be a quick little installation process not a very large program but as you can see it's already finished installing and I'm going to leave the button check that says launch audacity and finish now it's beginning to launch audacity we're going to hit OK because the first running of audacity so it needs language alright this is what it will look like when you've opened audacity this is the audacity interface here with the buttons on the top now I'm not going to go too far into it because it is for a later tutorial on actually how to use audacity but this is audacity you do have it now and I'm just going to show you quickly how to put the audacity icon which is shown here in your rocket dock right here so I'm going to choose a section to put it in I'll put it right in my tool section so I'm just going to first of all unlock the rocket dock then I'm going to take the icon just drag it down here into the place that I want it right after right before Sony Vegas just drop it down there then what we're going to do is delete the icon from the desktop because I no longer need that and we're going to lock up the system tray again or the rocket off again and we are done so that was a brief tutorial on how to download and and now you officially have audacity you know you can open up whenever you want and that was it so I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and thanks for watching this one and if you have any other tutorial ideas or requests just go ahead and subscribe and
