Audacity is open source and cross platform software designed for audio recording aned editing. It can also be extended with the use of plugins to provide additional editing features and effects. Being cross platform you can use the program on Windows, OS X, or Linux. I personally use it to make edits to files ripped from CDs for use in the classroom, because of it’s ease of use in creating fade-ins and fade-outs to make the example have a more professional sound. Any faculty that would like to make use of this software can contact me for individual training. There will be a “cheat-sheet” tutorial on this site in the near future.
