LESSON 1: Merging Multiple Tracks

• INTRODUCTION

In this lesson, you will learn about how you can edit multiple tracks so that you
can be merged into a single track. This can serve as a review from the previous lesson.

• PRE-ACTIVITY

Directions: Search in the Internet about the definition of the word “merge” and
how it is important when editing audio. Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper with the link of the source where you got the
information.

• ANALYSIS

In the pre-activity, you were asked to search in the Internet about the definition
of the word “merge” and how it is important in editing audio. Merging tracks, songs
or audios is a great help when it comes to editing. It will show your creativity on how
you combine tracks to form a new audio. To know more on how to merge tracks in
Audacity, please continue reading this module.

• DISCUSSION

Recording data is not always perfect the first time around. In the music industry,
people do a lot of retakes of the same song so they can choose the best track.
Sometimes, they can simply choose the best portions of each track and merge them
into a single track.

When we have a lot of takes, it is best that we would only choose a single portion
of a certain track into a single, new track.

Merging Tracks

To merge tracks, we do the following steps:

1. Import our audio tracks, and listen to each track.

2. Identify the sections, we want to keep.

3. List down the second marks for each track to be sure.

4. Make sure the Selection tool button is clicked.

5. On each track, select the section we want to keep.

6. Listen to the selection so we can be sure we are keeping the right section.

7. Remove the other parts using the Trim Audio Outside Selection command.

8. Do the same for other tracks.

Our window may look like this, depending on our selection:

Inserted audio segment from the second track at

the chosen point

11. Close any empty tracks.

12. Look for the Time Shift tool on the Tools toolbar, and click it.

We use this tool to move each segment around. With our mouse, drag
the first segment to the beginning and the other segments on the ends of
each segment.

A yellow line will tell us if they perfectly align or meet at the ends of
each segment. We then let go of our mouse once we see it.

13. Listen to the single track, and check if it is continuously playing with no
unnecessary bumps or silences especially at the merging points.

NOTE: If you are reading this, please send me a text or chat: “Merge 5”, on my contact
number or Messenger. For monitoring purposes only. Thank you!

• APPLICATION
Directions: Write True if the statement is correct, otherwise False on a separate
sheet of paper.

1. The Time Shift tool moves segments of audio around.

2. The Trim Audio Outside Selection command trims audio other than
the selection.
3. The red line will tell you if your segments perfectly align.
4. You can only merge two (2) tracks in Audacity.
5. You can merge more than two (2) audio files in Audacity.

• SUMMARY

If we have a lot of retakes, we can merge them into a single track. If we do not
do that, we will be working with so many tracks, and the file size will get bigger. We
should try to minimize tracks and edit them when we can. This way, we display the
hallmark of efficiency. We get things done at the onset, taking us lesser time to edit
afterward.

We merge multiple tracks into a single track to avoid making our files bigger and
to save time, especially when we work with many audio files.

The Time Shift tool moves each segment to our desired places. A yellow line will
appear if they perfectly align to meet at the ends of each segment.

LESSON 2: Adding Effects

• INTRODUCTION

In this lesson, you will learn about the effects that you can apply to improve your
audio in Audacity.

• PRE-ACTIVITY

Directions: Answer the question, “what do you think is the importance of audio
or musical effects when editing an audio?”, on a separate sheet of
paper.

• ANALYSIS

In the pre-activity, you were asked about your thoughts on what is the importance of
audio or musical effects when editing an audio. All producers, if not all, many, apply
multiple audio effects to make their produced songs to be more interesting and creative
that will catch the attention of the listeners. Nowadays, a lot of songs are being added
with effects to emphasize their music. To know more about the different audio effects in
Audacity, please continue reading this module.

• DISCUSSION

Effect Menu

Add from editing audio and merging

tracks to a single track, Audacity can
also alter different characteristics of an
audio file by adding effects to a track
or a selection. These can be found at
the Effect menu.

▪ To add effects to tracks, let us do these steps:

1. Select a track or part of the track where we want the effect to be placed.

2. Go to the Effects menu, and choose a desired effect we want to put on our
selection.

Settings asked will vary on the chosen effect.

Audacity offers a lot of effects. In this lesson, we will learn the most common
effects. Here are the different effects we can use:

1. Amplify changes the volume of a selection.

Original selection Amplified selection

When this is chosen, the Amplify dialog box will appear. In the example
above, the user did not change the number so it was drastically amplified.

We can type a value for the amount of amplification we want. Positive

numbers will make the sound louder, while negative numbers will make the
sound softer.

2. Change Pitch adjusts the pitch (high or low) of the selection, while the tempo
(fast or slow) is not changed. When we select this, it will prompt a dialog box
like this:

We can either change the settings for pitch or change the percentage of
frequency. A higher percent change in frequency will make the pitch go higher.

3. Change Tempo adjusts the tempo of the selection without changing the pitch.

Original selection Tempo changed

Basic Education Department

When we select this effect, it will prompt a dialog box shown below. A
positive and higher percent change means a faster tempo for the selection,
while a negative number means slower tempo.

4. Fade In and Fade Out

a. Fade In changes the amplitude of a selection from silence, going louder

toward the original amplitude.

Selection before Fade In Selection after Fade In

b. Fade out does the opposite. It starts from the original amplitude, decreasing
toward silence. The length of a fade in depends on the selection user.

Note: For demonstration, please attend the schedule I will be posting in our FB
Group so that you can watch my Audacity demonstration. Thank you!

• APPLICATION

Directions: Complete the following statements on a separate sheet of paper.

1. The ________ effect changes how high or low the selection is.
2. The ________ effect gradually changes amplification from complete
silence to the original amplification.
3. The _______ effect changes the volume of the selection.
4. To change how fast or how slow a selection is, you need to apply the
______.
5. Effects are found in the ______ menu.

• SUMMARY

Adding effects to audio can enhance the overall quality of an audio file. Knowing how
to apply the right effect at the right moment develops our creativity. When we think of
ways of improving something, given with different tools and methods, we become more
creative. Developing our creativity drives us to improve ourselves and our work.

We can add effects to a track or a selection of a track. These effects are found on the
Effect menu: Amplify, Change Pitch, Change Tempo, Fade In, and Fade Out.
