For this tutorial we will be using Adobe Audition, a software which is free to use for Brown University students. Use this link to learn how to download Adobe products at Brown if you plan to use your personal machine, or you can use Adobe Audition at the Multimedia Labs on campus. If you are reviewing this guide and are not part of the Brown community and don't have Adobe, we recommend using a software like Audacity which is free, though you may find aspects of this tutorial limiting.
