It&#8217;s free, but it&#8217;s also pretty full-featured: it can record audio, import and export different file formats, and edit sounds. You can even use it to change the pitch of a recording without altering the tempo, remove static or hiss, or create sound effects.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I don&#8217;t need most of these features, since I&#8217;m not about to mix a masterpiece. So for me Audacity&#8217;s greatest feature is its user-friendly interface. I can download a Franklin Roosevelt speech from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanrhetoric.com\/speechbank.htm\">American Rhetoric&#8217;s Online Speech Bank<\/a>, cut it up with Audacity, and drop it into a teaching presentation. Easy!<\/p>\n<p>You can use <a href=\"http:\/\/audacity.sourceforge.net\/\">Audacity<\/a> with Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. It&#8217;s free, no registration required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audacity is a great choice when you need to edit audio.
