Even though I have been using Audacity for quite some time, this video is worth viewing because it offers "some" understanding. I think it could have been much better had the narrator taken the time and effort to research and offer some examples of how and why some of the tools are used. But, you get what you pay for and I can't gripe about what I got. It was worth the time.
