Free Sound Editor

Something that comes up time and again, is the need to be able to record, and manipulate sound files. There are plenty of programs that can do this, but one that is really worth considering is Audacity.

It works on Windows and OSX machines, and as an added advantage (other than being powerful enough for most users), it happens to be free.

Available from here.

This is a typical screenshot of the program. Might look complicated, but really it can be as simple or as complex as you’d like.

Whether you want to edit out a few clicks, and noises within the sound file, or crop some areas out, fade others down in volume, or edit a few sound files together, Audacity can handle all these tasks very easily.
