The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

It was a very simple task as well once I lined the clips up correctly. Not bad for a piece of free software.

General recording, converting between formats, cleaning up audio tracks, or just playing around with various effects for something to do, it's an amazing tool. Great respect to the developers who freely spend long hours mainaining it. It’s been part of the Linux furniture for so long I couldn’t imagine it not being there.

Great tool for creating ringtones from audio clips. I also use it for recording Skype conversations (after I tell people I'm recording, of course). :) Hadn't even realized it was available for Linux. Guess I'll have to install it on my Ubuntu box, too. I’ve been using Audacity on Win for years. Great tool for creating ringtones from audio clips.

We use it on all the machines in our household (1xUbuntu stand-alone,2xdual boot Ubuntu/Windows and 1xWindows stand alone). On the dual boot machines it is installed in both Ubuntu and Windows. I recently used it to transfer the content of some old audio tape cassettes to CD's for a visually impaired friend and was delighted by the ease with which I could reduce noise and tailor the frequency response to compensate for the old tape characteristics ('Chromium' & 'standard'). Our thanks to the developers and all the other selfless people who produce open source software; you are humanity's best. I love Audacity.

I used it to make a cd to illustrate a lecture on Mahler. Very easy and efficient. Thanks to all of you who take care of this magnificent project.

I've used this program for many many years, and one of the best and most simple features is the noise removal feature. I use this to edit my audio files when dubbing from cassette or LP. You can't get much better than this, but you do have to be a bit careful otherwise it can get a bit tinny. GO LINUX!!! Closing the Gates on Windows! Audacity is a GREAT program across ALL platforms!

I was ust looking through it while following your article; Audacity looks like a great tool. Its a very competitive offering. I'll look forward to more articles on this piece of software.

Audacity is a great tool and perhaps the finest example of an open source project out there. I use it almost every day and have done so for seveal years now and haven't begun to scratch the surface of its features and capabilites. The assortment of filters and editing tools it comes with are tremendous and if it doesn't perform the filtering function you want out of the box, you can write your own. Great work! Please keep it up! I agree completely. Audacity is a great tool and perhaps the finest example of an open source project out there.
