The Berklee College of Music has provided, through the Creative Commons license, series of online music lessons. The ones of most interest to community radio people are probably the ones on music production.
The lessons focus on the use of Pro Tools as the editing software, but certainly the concepts are adaptable to Audacity or any other sound editor. Lessons include such topics as setting up a recording studio, recording, mixing, studio sound, setting up a home studio and more. Most of the lessons are focused on music production, of course, but good sound is good sound, whether speaking, singing or playing.
You can freely copy and adapt these lessons for your station’s (noncommercial) use under the Creative Commons license.

I have used the Berklee Shares free music lessons for a while now and they are great. They have some in video & some are PDF. I first was only downloading the videos but soon had them all & tried the PDF’s. Well, I was glad I did, for some reason I thought the PDF lessons where only written documents but some have music files embedded! So while I was reading guitar tabulature it said to hit a icon on the page and it started playing the music that went w/ the lesson!!! 5 out of 5 stars Cooool…………Good Luck!
