Yesterday while browsing for audio editing software, I happened to see that Audacity, the digital audio editor application is the 9th most popular download from SourceForge.net with 40 millions downloads, as of 30th May 2008. Audacity is a open source software for recording and editing sounds. You can run the application on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems. This is a free software licensed under GNU GPLv2. but it may update to GPLv3 after it 1.4.0 version. The latest stable version of audacity was 1.2.6, which was released on 15th November in the year 2006. Audacity version 1.3.5 (beta) has been released already but the work is still in progress. It has not yet turned up with complete documentation or translations into foreign languages. The version is more for advanced users rather than the beginners.
Audacity is a user-friendly software. You can edit the audio part with only cut, copy and paste options with unlimited undo options. You can mix multi tracks here with the software with wide storage of digital effects and plug-ins. The software offers the facility of amplitude envelope editing and noise removal. You can also change the pitch of the audio. I have experienced that this software makes necessary adjustment to the audio speed to synchronize with the video. I could even convert cassette tapes or records into digital tracks with the help of it.
Overall. It’s a good software to check out if you are into audio editing. Do post your comments here if you have already used it.
