- 1). Open Audacity and drag the song you wish to edit into the audio editor. This will start the process of importing your song and preparing it for mastering.
- 2). Click the "Effect" menu and then select "High Pass Filter." A high pass filter will remove any artifacts that are below a certain frequency. Enter the value 192 in the Cutoff frequency. This will remove any frequencies below the 192 Hertz value and should reduce unwanted thumbs and bumps.
- 3). Select "Normalize" from the "Effect" menu. Don't modify any of the values and press "OK." This will increase the volume of your recording without clipping.
- 4). Select "Compressor" from the "Effect" menu. Don't change any of the settings and simply click "OK." This option will compact the audio and help to give it more presence. Professional studios will send a final recording through several compressors.
