Sound Editing/Recording Software – Free

For those who are thinking of getting into wildlife sound recording, one way of keeping your start-up costs down, is with your software. There is a good free-ware application, Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net which some may find useful. It is available for Windows, Mac, Unix/ Linux, and for the truly adventurous/masochistic, all the bits you need for your own compile. I have used Audacity a bit, for pulling CDs apart etc., and it is pretty user friendly. Best of all, it is free- ware, although donations are gladly accepted by the project.

Cheers,

    Audacity is one of those “work-in-progress” applications, and is continually being up-graded. Did you inform the people at Audacity of your problem? They may be able to offer a work around, or at least remove the bug in future builds.

    I agree, very good software. I used it until I got a recorder, then found it can’t display the markers the recorder allows me to insert in the field, so I now use Sound Forge that came with the recorder. Apart from that functionality, I haven’t come across anything that I couldn’t do with Audacity.
