After you record the lecture, you might need to edit it: the class might have started late and you want to remove the first 2 mins or maybe you forgot to stop the recording and you recorded 30mins of silence. Whatever the reason, if you need to edit the file, you can use a software such as [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity], its a free, multi-platform and easy to use program and in the following sections we'll demonstrate its use. You can always use other software if you prefer to do so.
