Techbits #8: Audacity: Record & Edit Audio

Audacity is required for being honest. Audacity is required for being righteous. Audacity is required to stand by what is truthful. Audacity, as a tool, is also required for recording/editing audio too!

Interested in recording audio through your microphone - for example, to record audio books that can be used by the blind? Or how about editing it out to correct and strip out unwanted bits? How about creating your own audio clip by piecing together various snippets from your favourite mp3 audio/songs?

If you have answered "yes" to any of the questions in the previous paragraph, all that you would need is Audacity - I meant, the Open Source Software which can be used to record and edit audio.

It takes a little bit of your time to get accustomed to the functionality provided by Audacity and its usage - as is the case with getting introduced to any new tool. Once you make that initial investment of your effort, you would be glad you found this tool.

Go ahead and give Audacity a try at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/.
