Audacity

Audacity is one of the most popular audio editing software.  Audacity was created by Dominic Mazzoni, who now works for Google.   Audacity was initially released in May 2000 and it is free to the general public under the GNU General Public License.  The current version of Audacity is version 1.2.6.  One can download Audacity from several different websites on the internet, but one of the most reliable websites is download.com.    

What makes Audacity so popular is that it is free and it has many features that are standards on high-end audio editing software like Adobe Audition.  A lot of the audio editing software that are free to the general public are really limited in performance and features causing users to have below quality production, but Audacity is different.  Although it is limited in its a capabilities, Audacity still holds many features that can allow user to produce quality projects.  Audacity is also a great way to start to learn how to do audio production.  Of course, if one wants to become serious about their work then they should invest in a high end audio editing software, but for those who just want to mess around and start learning audio production then Audacity is a great tool for that.
