Who doesn't know Audacity? It has to be the best free audio editor around. Very easy to use, very simple, very fast, and offers many features.

The newer it's versions, the better it becomes. It's as good as superior. Very nice program to record e.g. old cassettes and LP's to digital format [preferably mp3, 128mbits, 44khz, dual-channel]. In the case of recording old things to new things, try (to learn to use) the functions 'denoise' [remove background noise] and 'normalize' within the program. Some things ask some figuring out, but they usually work swell. Very good musical programming effort!

Oh yeah, if there is a tool I use for audio, it's this one. I won't use others but have tried them. Audacity is numero uno. It's sound capture, sound enhancement, and anything else right down to editing sounds, is just the best. It works fast, saves easily, turns some terrible sounding music to great or bearable, assuming you know how to use it of course. Audacity is only as good as the user, meaning, get to know it, it won't disappoint! I could never believe it's free but hey, I am not complaining!

Although it's not listed as working under Vista, it has performed very well on my Compaq while editing very large mp3 files. I tried other editing software, some were shareware with free trial time, and their asking prices were from $29 to $99 and they did not perform as well as Audacity! Thank you for such a great program!

Have been using this for a while without too many problems. It does have limitations when playing back edited portions of music in that it plays such a small section of your changes you don't get a feel for how the changes will come out. Thank goodness for the undo function. I still use this as a main tool for editing wav files, In particular the editing of wave files taken from records. I have found it useful for this due to the click removal tool which is quite effective. For a free program this is a nice piece of software if you are like me and don't have much money. Would still highly recommend this to anyone who needs to do some wave editing and converting.

It looks good, has lots of functions but if you want to do any editing, look elsewhere. The whole point of editing is to be able to listen to the track as you are adjusting it. You can't do this at all with Audacity. It's a complete waste of time.

Audacity is a great program for mixing music, but it needs a bit of fixing. Sometimes when you have made a lot of work it freaks out, shots down, and you loose all the work you have spend ours making. It has happened to me more than once. Theres also some graphical problems. For instance when you shrink the tracks to get "the big picture" while listening, it chops up the music. If you want to gain the volume in part of a track (effect - amplifi), its not possible, because it amps way to much in just one step. But besides that its a great program, and i will highly recommend that you check it out. If you record from internet radio stations (with Station Ripper for instance) you often get the end of the previous track in the beginning, and loose the end of the track youre recording. With Audacity you can make cool megamixes of these tracks.

I've used Audacity to convert WAVs into high bit-rate MP3s, to record off vinyl LPs, to adjust volume (amplitude), and to play with some sound files "creatively." It's a good, stable application, and I prefer it to NTi's wave editor (which I paid for). With version 1.2.3 there is a problem with memory management-- trying to convert edited WAVs to MP3s, I got "out of memory" errors (with XPpro and 1GB RAM?); the easy workaround is to close Audacity after finishing one file, before starting another (XP will take care of RAM use, then). And newer versions may have fixed this problem (I just haven't done any monster files recently); even if not, restarting the application between files is a small price to pay for such an otherwise versatile and dependable [and free!] audio editor.

I highly recommend Audacity. If you need to record or work with audio, get it. It's the best around for the price, and if you are into music and on a budget, this will get the job done. I have other high-end audio software, but sometimes they are just overkill for sketchpad song recording, or smaller tasks. I have successfully used it for years with no troubles. Get it. Use it. Love it. Be thankful that someone out there took the time to create this for us. Thanks, M

While this program features decent digital multitracking format, there are a few qualities associated with the program that make me think there are a lot of better ones out there. Of course you lose quality as you record onto a real time format from whatever source you are coming, but since there is no graphic equalization, you lose so very much when you rec. onto audacity, and you dont get to take advantage of all that might be there. The biggest problem i have with audacity is that when the tracks get too long, audacity frequently crashes losing all data you put into it. I have been using audacity recently to reformat and archive my drum machine tracks/patterns so the limit on file length is a big problem, especially if (and most people would)you want more than one tempo per pattern. The program does have recovery software, which is far out, but it probably wont work. It is buggy, and asks for details that are not available to computer users who havent taken a class. I lost art!

I've been using Audacity for years. You can't buy a better audio editor. True, the lame encoder is not included. To do that, they would have to license it, and Audacity wouldn't be free, would it? Search for lame.dll in another folder on your PC, or download from any of 100's of web sites. It's free for users, not for distribution. If you don't like Audacity, it's out of your league.

Recommended to me,so I gave it a try. Soon found out you need lame dll [ available in Snapfiles ]. Very easy to make a ringtone, save to a folder, then IR or Bluetooth to your mobile. l use it to tart up my tracks to put into Powerpoint. Easy to use, if result not quite right, it is easy to work back and redo till you get what you want. In short, very good.

I'm usually verbose about my reviews. Not here: Audacity is one of the truly great freeware, open-source products. It supports 16, 24, 32-bit audio, multiple tracks, and every conceivable function. It's free, and thankfully free of adware, extra unwanted features or services that run in the background. It is better than other competing software, including those costing $1000-2000; and includes many offbeat functions like Karaoke extraction. It's my first choice for any audio editing or augmentation. Unbeatable.

I already have a couple of audio editors and decided to give this one a try.The only problem that arose was when I tried to save my hours of work to an mp3, a message said, I needed to acquire ( LAME ). I already have it on other software and don't want to disturb it.It can be found on the internet if you want to go look for it, but,I found it easier to uninstall it and get an editor with it. Otherwise I'd recommend it to anyone. ( They should include the Lame program in their program ).

You can use this program to make ringtones for your cell phone (as long as your phone can support MP3 tones aka realtones). Just select the section of the song you want to use and convert it to a 32kbps MP3 file. Upload the file to your website and use your phone's browser to point to that URL; it should start downloading right away. You might even be able to email it to your phone.

I record alot of stuff here at home. Live music, songs etc. and frankly after using high end stuff like Adobe Audition, this has everything I used in Adobe but a hell of a lot less CPU stress. Adobe does a big 26M where audacity uses a mere 5!! Multi tracking is easy and frankly with shelling out 3 bills for and upgrade to Adobe 1.5, I said "it time for a change" Every single piece of software on my PC is Freeware or open source and I donate!! HATS OFF to Audacity and open source...I'd rather pay (donate) to the free stuff and get a product like this...OUTSTANDING WORK!!!! If you record, dub or just play with audio than try, get and support this software...you will not be disappointed!!!

I would not use Audacity as a music mixing software as I compose music using Trackers such as FT2 (Fast Tracker 2) and midi programs such as Cakewalk. However, when it comes to making samples for the music or .SBK files for my SBLIVE, it's absolutely fantastic!

I've been recording/editing/mastering/mixing sound for almost 30 yrs. Audacity is a A1+ sound recorder, configured right it is as good/better than most bought sound recorders/editors out there. Professional musicians I know have installed Audacity on their home PC's & have told me that it works very good for them. It allows you to create your own music without the $$$ some sound studios want. Excellent product. I recommend it to anyone & everyone involved in audio recording/mixing/mastering.

This program is brilliant! I've used it to make .mp3s and .wavs recorded from line in & mic input and edit multiple tracks at one time, cut from one and paste into another. I can plug my guitar into my amp modeler and that into my computer and record myself playing and *really* hear where my mistakes are. :) I used Cool Edit for a while, the crippled version, but now I can use Audacity and record, play, edit, apply various effects, import audio and save in the format I choose. Try it and I bet you'll want to burn it to a CD.

Audacity was able to do alone what Game Audio Player, Extractor, Multiripper, and JetAudio were unable to do all together: extract the audio files from a favorite PC game (through its Import Raw Data feature), and convert them to MP3 and WAV. Thanks!

I have used Polderbits (very simple, excellent for LP's to CD's copying, no effects, you have to buy after a trial period); I used WavePad (advanced yet easy to use, has effects, you have to buy after a trial period); but I am using Audacity (more difficult to use - is more advanced, but has excellent features for mixing music e.g., for dancing performance or for removing cracks from my LP's copied tracks). With Audacity I did not have any problem with installation; you may need to read the manual on the features since it's more advanced; you have to download lame_enc.dll for .mp3 use but it works fine). I am very happy with it - can do a lot with it. I recommend to anybody!

I use Audacity to edit wav and MP3 files. I like it alot. Be sure to download the free Lame software to be able to save edits to MP3 files. Lame can be accessed from the Audacity web site. The Audacity web site also has VST Enabler free download so as to support VST plug-ins. You will want it too.

This program is great! I've used it to record records and it does a SUPER job at it. It's the best program that I've found around.

I started looking for recorder so I could record my LP's to MP3 I have tried a lot and Audacity is the one I stayed with. It has all the features I want especially when working with LP's or Cassettes. The only thing I do not use it for is cutting the finished files for that I use MP3directcut also available from Snapfiles. It works for me and I have recorded over 200 LP's using Audacity Thank You Audacity!!
