* Now it's time to edit the audio file. We may need to cut out some parts from the beginning if you started recorded earlier than class start. (and that's more preferable than missing some parts of the class, so whenever possible, you should start recording a bit early and then take these parts out) see the image below for the next step.

* '''Select:''' use this tool to select a part of the file. You can select '''a point''' to start playing from there, or you can select '''an area''' if you want to remove or move that selected area. If you want to remove a selection, just press '''Delete''' button on your keyboard or go to '''Edit > Delete''' from the menu panel. Please keep in mind that audacity can do more than simply deleting parts of the file, but these functions will not be covered in this guide.

* We select '''~~joint~~ Stereo''' because it keeps the file as Mono, like the original. Selecting Stereo might result with a stereo file (which is totally unnecessary) with bigger filesize.

* Unfortunately, audacity can't add or edit Artwork attribute, but if you want to bother adding an artwork (because it's cool) with another software, you're more than welcome to use this file

Congratulations, depending on your CPU, it may take a couple of minutes for Audacity to export the file. Now it's time to upload this file to internet.
