How to Edit an Audio File without Losing Quality for Beginners

Add video

Launch the audio editing software once you install it on your computer. It is compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7 and Mac OS X. Go to the Toolbox from the top of the interface and choose Audio Sync. Then drag and drop the video that contains the audio track that you want to change into the window to add it.

Edit audio

After the video loads, you will be presented with the main interface. Pull down the Audio Track menu, and choose the desired audio track. Then adjust the audio volume by moving the Volume slider. If the sound does not match the picture, adjust the Delay option to correct it.

Export video

When audio editing is done, preview the video with the built-in media player. If you are satisfied, set the output format, filename, and location at the bottom. At last, click the Export button.
