建立新工程
建立新工程非常重要！

因為Audacity會將工程的音訊資訊存在名為的資料夾內，這個資料夾與工程檔案放在一起.

選擇 http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/images/file_save_project.png 然後將工程命名，儲存.

請注意，如果你是新開一個工程，則只能使用，而不能使用.

當你已經命名了新開的工程之後，就可以使用，快速鍵是.

檢查的選項
一樣的，檢查一樣很重要. 按進入，然後檢查輸出裝置是否選擇正確. 設定你想要的取樣頻率. (預設是44.1 kHz. )然後設定最重要的.

現在要來探討一下檔案格式的議題.

當要匯入非壓縮格式的音訊時，有兩種作法：

一、在編輯前先複製一份. 這意味著Audacity實際上將原本的音訊檔案複製一份進入工程資料夾內.

二、直接編輯原始音訊檔案. 你可能會認為Audacity會更改原始音訊檔案，但是並沒有. 事實上Audacity只是將變動儲存起來.

The advantage of choosing to make a copy of the original is that you avoid trouble, should anything in the original file change.

For example, should you accidentally delete the original file, you're lost.

You have to make up your mind before you start a project. Choose to make a copy of all imported files, and you'll use more space on your hard disk(s), but it will be easier to back up the project too, because all files that have anything to do with your project will be in the project data directory.

The Uncompressed Export Format can be set to WAV or AIFF for now. Please check the fileformats page for further information on export formats.

We'll ignore the Spectrogram settings for now. The Directories setting can be ignored as well for now, because all it sets is the directory to use for recordings, undo data and other stuff, if you haven't yet saved your project. Since we already saved our project, this setting is of no importance to us, though you may want to set it properly later on. Initially this is set to a folder called "audacity_temp_1.2" in the system temporary directory.

匯入一個音訊檔案
有三種方法可以匯入音訊檔案：


 * 1) 將音訊檔案拖曳到Audacity視窗內. (如果你是使用Mac OS 9 或 Mac OS X，則是將音訊檔案拖曳到Audacity圖示上. )
 * 選.
 * 1) 用鍵盤快速鍵：.

播放
匯入的音訊檔案會顯示在新音軌上. 音軌看起來如下，波形則端看你匯入的檔案：

如果你不知道要去哪裡找音訊檔案，你可以從你的音樂CD擷取音樂出來. 或者如果你是用Windows作業系統的話，看看資料夾內，通常會有一些範例音樂.

按綠色播放鈕http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/images/transport_play.png at the 開始播放. 你應該可以聽到你剛剛匯入的檔案.
