By selecting a clip and then ‘Silence current selection’ you cut out the sound and leave a silence. This will make sounds louder and clearer, useful for if you recorded someone speaking from a distance. Make the silence longer than necessary, as then it is easier to trim it if necessary rather than redoing the whole step. If you want to combine two different files without layering them, you can create a silence within your clip (Go to Edit -> Silence -> Insert Silence at Cursor -> select the number of milliseconds it lasts) then you can select that silence and mix it with another file of the same length.

Once the files are mixed, you cannot edit them individually, so make sure you have edited each one separately first. Once you select a file you will be able to adjust its volume. If you want to layer two entire files, simply leave it unselected. Select the part of the clip that you want to combine with another one. Manually adjust or keep default of -20% Mix with File Always listen back right away to check if it sounds ok. Only use this as a last resort, if there is a lot of distracting background noise in your audio (noise - not voices) as it can make the main voice of the audio sound hollow. Use the preset, and if it is not enough, you can try adjusting it manually. It should select that automatically, if not you can pick ‘Remove Hum and Hiss’. Then you can either manually adjust the level, or select the preset of -20%. Listen to your recording again, if the background noise is still audible, go back to Cleanup and select Multi-Band Noise Gating. To remove unwanted noises, select the part of the clip with the noise, click Cleanup, Auto Spectral Subtraction and then apply to either Voice or Music. This is for a common problem in audio recording: Background Noise. If you select part of the audio and select Trim, it will cut out everything apart from the selected clip. This can be helpful if for example you have recorded your voice and left an unwanted silence at the end before stopping the recording. To remove any unwanted audio within the clip, select it and choose Delete.Īuto Trim will trim (remove) any silences in the beginning and end of the audio. The main things you will need to use are: You can then go to Edit - Mix with File (explained later) and add the music, but make sure to select a lower volume so the voice remains clear. For example, if you plan on adding a narrating voice over a piece of music, upload or record the narration first. If you are planning to layer two files, upload one first. If you do not select a section, anything you do will be applied to the entire file. Once you have selected a section, any editing or effects added will only affect that part. Moving through the timeline Whenever you want to select a section of your audio clip, simply click on the point you want to start at and drag it across. You can also use the smaller timeline above your main one to move through it. To move across the clip without selecting anything, hold the timeline with two fingers and drag it. To have a clearer view of your file zoom in, using two fingers the same way you would on any image on your phone. This can make it hard to edit since you cannot see the details of the audio file. New File: To record new audio on the spotīy default it will show the entire clip on the timeline. It also offers options like undo, redo, copy and paste, but these can be found at any point by clicking on the triple line symbol in the top left and selecting Edit. You will only need this in the beginning and end of your audio editing, to import (upload) and export (save as a file) your audio. When you open the app you will see 4 sections: Home, Edit, Levels and Effects.
