Download Audacity to computer and Open
 * __ Using Audacity __**

1. Create a new project or Save an empty project. Remember, that if you don't save your project before you start recording or importing, that all recordings, edit and other files will be written to the directory set on the [|//Directories//] tab of the [|preferences]. 2. Check the preferences. Make sure your playback and recording device are set. If you're going to record a stereo signal, set the number of channels to record to 2 (Stereo) on the [|//Audio I/O//] preferences. When picking a device to record from, make sure you've set up all the connections properly, such as plugging a microphone in to the **Mic Input**, and any other device in to the **Line In** of your sound card. Then check that the gain level knob(the amount by how much the input should be amplified) of the mixer of your soundcard is set right. Since most soundcards can mix the inputs back in to the outputs, the easiest way to test your microphone is to speak in to it while playing with your sound card mixer. The sound card mixer is a piece of software either provided by the sound card maker, or by the operating system you're using. The Windows mixer is pretty straight forward, though some soundcards bring their own along. The Mac's mixer is controlled via the Sound Control Panel, and the Linux users have a variety of mixer applications at their disposal. Just make sure they work before yelling at your screen that nothing works. 3. Hit Record That's it. You can now play around with your recording and explore the editing capabilities of Audacity. Remember that you can use the Undo function almost without limits whilst the project is open. If you need to record narration AND music, you can create a separate track and then drage your audio mP3 into the second track. Then you can manipulate placement, volume, etc., and export as a combined mp3.
 * Click on the red **Record** button ||  || to begin recording. ||
 * Click on the blue **Pause** button ||  || to pause the recording. Press it again to continue. ||
 * Click on the yellow **Stop** button ||  || to cease recording. The cursor will return to its previous position, before the recording was started. ||

You can use a portable audio device, or even a video camera to capture audio, and then import into Movie Maker. See your teacher or advisor. This is sometimes the simplest option. Record, and then save as a titled mP3. Then find, and import that file.
