Multimedia, AV Audacity is a multitrack/recording free audio editor. It started a few years back as a simple sound editor, but since then it has evolved in a powerfull modern editor, by supporting multi-track recording. The stable 1.0 version was released only a few days ago.

As a pro audio person, I'm not impressed in any way (other than negative) with Audacity. Okay, it has a clever name.

I think they should keep hacking at it. It does show promise for the future. If they learn good UI design, first!

It certainly could be useful to non-pros who do not need or want to pay for an audio editor when they need to hack bits of a track together or apart.

I am very spoiled by Sound Forge. Yes it costs much and has been around a long enough time to have evolved a lot. You really cannot compare the two apps at all. They're in different realms entirely.
