    Thank you, Tomas, for creating this course on Audacity and Skill Success for hosting it!
    It’s great for beginners like me. Now finally know what some things in Audacity even mean and how can I improve my audio with them.
    The course is so well put together! It also teaches you how to use keyboard shortcuts in audacity to save time when editing. There’s no extra fluff, straight to the point. I was making screenshots and taking notes, I now feel prepared to edit my audios, as I have a whole process laid out. Plus, I also learned how can I apply the same effects to the audios that I record in the same room&equipment conditons.
    The voice of the presenter, the pace, how is the course put together, the length of videos, it all made me look forward to continuing learning.
