Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

(CasualSavage has a number of Audacity videos that will help you develop your knowledge and skills.) If you choose to take this step, I recommend you create a new track and copy your sound clip so that you can compare the two clips.
Technical Note
If you created multiple tracks for your final assembly, it is best to mix down the tracks so that all of the tracks you want to add the effects to are on one track. You can do this by using the mix function or export all of the tracks together to mix them down into one clip and reimport the audio.
To export and mix down multiple tracks, highlight all of the tracks you want to export and go to File, Export, Export Selected Audio. Select "Export Selected Audio."
