Using Audacity to Convert audio and Record voice

Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems. Learn more about Audacity... Also check our Wiki and Forum for more information.

• Note: Audacity may not be suitable for encoding MP3s for use with Flash Player at the default sample rate settings. At lower bit rates, it uses sample rates that are not a multiple of 11.025 kHz and the resulting MP3 files may either play at an incorrect speed, the chipmunk effect, or not play at all. See the Audacity documentation on how to set the sample rates.

Features

• Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
• Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files.
