Below is the tutorial I created back a couple months ago. I've since needed to do some more audio editing, and made it much easier with the installation of my Audigy 5.1 card.

We recorded a live concert of Montague Street (soon to be online). There was a single audio track that I needed to split up into the appropriate songs. There was no need to merge anything together, so it was fairly straight forward and easy. I used Audacity to load, cut and adjust levels and create multiple mp3 tracks.

Read on if you want to see the hard way of doing things... or more just for the Audacity instructions.

So here is a little tutorial on editing sound files. I had to do this for a couple tracks for Laura's website (here)

I'll just start this off with the programs I used to do this. I'll also mention that my computer audio really doesn't like Linux (any flavour), and though I own a sound card that would work fine, it's sitting in a bag not being used...
