It's
been around for some time, but seems to fly under the radar. For people
that are just getting into sound editing, for podcasting or just for
fun, the free cross-platform
Audacity
is worth a download. It has more than enough features to keep you
busily hacking together audio files. It features recording,
import/export, splicing and editing, and effects, and has a plug-in
system that makes it extensible. Oh, and did I mention that it's free?
If you're looking for a way to record and edit sound on your computer,
be it a PC, Mac or Linux box, this might be your solution. And if
you're looking for a fun audio project, find yourself a 2 year-old, and
coach them through saying a greeting for your answering machine,
preferably using lots of long words. As long as you can record one or a
few words at a time, you're set; just edit it all together after the
fact.
