Audacity description |
|
|
Audacity is a cross-platform multitrack audio editor.
Audacity project is a free, easy-to-use audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems. You can use Audacity to:
· Record live audio. · Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs. · Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files. · Cut, copy, splice, and mix sounds together. · Change the speed or pitch of a recording. · And more! See the complete list of features below.
Here are some key features of "Audacity":
Recording:
· Audacity can record live audio through a microphone or mixer, or digitize recordings from cassette tapes, vinyl records, or minidiscs. With some sound cards, it can also capture streaming audio. · Record from microphone, line input, or other sources. · Dub over existing tracks to create multi-track recordings. · Record up to 16 channels at once (requires multi-channel hardware). · Level meters can monitor volume levels before, during, and after recording. · Import and Export: · Import sound files, edit them, and combine them with other files or new recordings.
Export your recordings in several common file formats:
· Import and export WAV, AIFF, AU, and Ogg Vorbis files. · Import MPEG audio (including MP2 and MP3 files) with libmad. · Export MP3s with the optional LAME encoder library. · Create WAV or AIFF files suitable for burning to CD. · Import and export all file formats supported by libsndfile. · Open raw (headerless) audio files using the “Import Raw” command. · Note: Audacity does not currently support WMA, AAC, or most other proprietary or restricted file formats.
Editing:
· Easy editing with Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete. · Use unlimited Undo (and Redo) to go back any number of steps. · Very fast editing of large files. · Edit and mix an unlimited number of tracks. · Use the Drawing tool to alter individual sample points. · Fade the volume up or down smoothly with the Envelope tool.
Effects:
· Change the pitch without altering the tempo, or vice-versa. · Remove static, hiss, hum, or other constant background noises. · Alter frequencies with Equalization, FFT Filter, and Bass Boost effects. · Adjust volumes with Compressor, Amplify, and Normalize effects.
Other built-in effects include:
· Echo · Phaser · Wahwah · Reverse
Sound Quality:
· Record and edit 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit (floating point) samples. · Record at up to 96 KHz. · Sample rates and formats are converted using high-quality resampling and dithering. · Mix tracks with different sample rates or formats, and Audacity will convert them automatically in realtime. · Plug-Ins: · Add new effects with LADSPA plugins. · Audacity includes some sample plugins by Steve Harris. · Load VST plugins for Windows and Mac, with the optional VST Enabler. · Write new effects with the built-in Nyquist programming language.
Analysis:
· Spectrogram mode for visualizing frequencies. · “Plot Spectrum” command for detailed frequency analysis.
Free and Cross-Platform:
· Licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). · Runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and GNU/Linux.
What's New in 1.2.6 Stable Release:
· Fix memory leaks on Windows. · Correct font size problems. · Enable missing FLAC support. · Fix Mac OS X screen redraw issues.
