Create and edit audio

Xubuntu provides many of the tools you need to make and edit your own music and sounds.

Editing audio files

Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. To use Audacity:

  1. Install the audacity package from the “Universe” repository (see Add Applications).

  2. To run Audacity, choose ApplicationsMultimediaAudacity Sound Editor.

  3. For further help with Audacity, use Audacity’s Help menu.

Recording sounds

If you have appropriate audio hardware (such as a microphone), you can record sounds onto your computer.

You can use Audacity for that purpose (see previous section).

A more advanced way to record audio is to install and use Jokosher, which is available from the “Universe” repository (see Add Applications).
