# All the edits including files can be saved in '''''uncompressed''''', '''''lossless''''' quality using the '''''AU''''' format. An '''''AUP''''' project file is created, along with a folder with the same name as the AUP file that contains the project's audio data. For example, if you save a project as <code>chanson.aup</code>, a folder called <code>chanson_data</code> will contain the audio data. We can save the '''''AUP''''' project file with keyboard <code>'''Ctrl+S'''</code> shortcut or through File->Save from the Menu.

==== Adjusting the Volume of the Audio ====
Occasionally, you may find that recordings are either too quiet or of poor quality once you come to edit them. This can be remedied to a certain degree in Audacity.
<<<Image>>>
To amplify the clip select the track which you want to increase (amplify) the volume, go to ‘Effect’ tab from the top of the screen and choose ‘Amplify’ from the drop-down menu and Finally, use the slider in the new dialogue box to tell Audacity how much you wish to amplify your clip and click ‘OK to apply.
You have to select "allow clipping" to increase the the volume.
==== Removing Noise ====
n order to remove ‘noise,’ we must first tell Audacity what the ‘noise’ sounds like so it can be isolated within the audio. Do this by firstly selecting a portion of the audio where nobody is talking –like a break in conversation, so you just get the ‘noise.’ Next, go to ‘Effect’ and select ‘Noise Removal’ from the drop-down menu:
<<<image>>>
From the dialogue box, select ‘Get Noise Profile.’ This will then take a sample of the ‘noise’ you wish to cancel out.Next, select ‘Edit’ from the top left of the screen, ‘Select...’and then ‘All’ to highlight the whole clip.Once you have highlighted the whole clip, return to the ‘Effect’ tab, choose ‘Noise Removal’ from the drop-down menu and then click ‘OK’ at the bottom of the dialogue box (see right). This will process the file and remove all of the ‘noise’ from your recording.
==== Fade a section in or fade it out ====
These basic fades apply a fade to the selected audio such that the amplitude of the selection goes from absolute silence to the original amplitude (Fade In), or from the original amplitude to absolute silence (Fade Out). The shape of the fade is linear, so it appears as a straight line from beginning to end.
<<<image>>>
Highlight the section of audio you want to fade out to silence. The larger a section you select, the longer and slower the fade effect will be. Click "Effect," followed by "Fade Out" or "Fade In".
