Creative Media - Audacity

Audacity is a free digital audio editor and recording application, available for group of operating systems. Audacity was created by Dominic Mazzoni and Roger Dannenberg at Carnegie Mellon University. Audacity won the SourceForge.net 2007 and 2009 Community Choice Award for Best Project for Multimedia. As well as recording audio, Audacity can also be used for post-processing a variety of different kinds of audio, including podcasts by adding effects such as normalization, trimming, and fading in and out. Audacity has also been used to record and mix entire albums, such as by Tune-Yards. It is also currently used in the OCR National Level 2 ICT course for the sound creation unit.
