We recently recorded some video interviews for the Learnetto podcast. Since we also want to publish the podcast episodes as audio, we needed to extract the audio from the mp4 video files.

We already use Audacity to process audio (for removing background hiss and normalisation), so it made sense to also use it for this step.

In this short video tutorial, you will learn how to extract just the audio from a video file using the Audacity software.
