Interested sound
recording and editing?
Do you want to
have all the capability the professionals have without the
professional price tag?
Both the MAC and
PC installation files are included on this CD, so if you
have both computers, why buy 2 disks?
This latest
release of Audacity is for you!
The large
corporations that make professional grade software are
switching pricing models to a subscription based model.
It is no longer enough to just pay one high price to use
their software, now you have to pay a high price EVERY YEAR
and continue to pay it as long as you want that software to
work. And if you stop paying, you can no longer access
the files you created until you cough up more money.
We think that is absurd and criminal. Fire the big
giants, and go with this type of software. Low priced,
but fully featured. This is the full version of
Audacity audio recording and editing software, this is not
trial or limited in anyway.
Recording
Audacity can record live audio through a microphone or
mixer, or digitize recordings from other media. With
some sound cards, and on any recent version of Windows,
Audacity can also capture streaming audio.
Device Toolbar manages multiple recording and playback
devices.
Level meters can monitor volume levels before, during
and after recording. Clipping can be displayed in the
waveform or in a label track.
Record from microphone, line input, USB/Firewire devices
and others.
Record computer playback on Windows Vista and later by
choosing “Windows WASAPI” host in Device Toolbar then a
“loopback” input.
Timer Record and Sound Activated Recording features.
Dub over existing tracks to create multi-track
recordings.
Record at very low latencies on supported devices on
Linux by using Audacity with JACK.
Record at sample rates up to 192,000 Hz (subject to
appropriate hardware and host selection). Up to 384,000
Hz is supported for appropriate high-resolution devices
on Windows (using WASAPI), Mac OS X, and Linux.
Record at 24-bit depth on Windows (using Windows WASAPI
host), Mac OS X or Linux (using ALSA or JACK host).
Record multiple channels at once (subject to appropriate
hardware).

Import and Export
Import sound files, edit them, and combine them with
other files or new recordings. Export your recordings in
many different file formats, including multiple files at
once.
Import and Export WAV, AIFF, AU, FLAC and Ogg Vorbis
files.
Fast “On-Demand” import of WAV or AIFF files (letting
you start work with the files almost immediately) if
read directly from source.
Import and export all formats supported by libsndfile
such as GSM 6.10, 32-bit and 64-bit float WAV, RF64, and
U/A-Law.
Import MPEG audio (including MP2 and MP3 files) using
libmad.
Import raw (headerless) audio files using the “Import
Raw” command.
Create WAV or AIFF files suitable for burning to audio
CD.
Export MP3 files with the optional LAME encoder library.
Import and export AC3, M4A/M4R (AAC) and WMA with the
optional FFmpeg library (this also supports import of
audio from video files).

Sound Quality
Supports 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit (floating point)
samples (the latter preserves samples in excess of full
scale).
Sample rates and formats are converted using
high-quality resampling and dithering.
Tracks with different sample rates or formats are
converted automatically in real time.
