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.

For any serious audio work, I gotta use Cool Edit Pro. Audacity is not bad for some more basic work, but I couldn't even get it to record stereo input at one time, so it was useless to me. It kept making me record seperate mono tracks and then append them together! Last version I tried was .9.3 I believe, so this may have been changed.
My experience with the pre 1.0 Audacity is it's not a bad cross platform replacement for a more basic audio package like Sound Forge XP.
To be truly useful for me it's gotta be able to do at least the following things:
* Parametric and graphic equalization
* Spectrum analysis
* Record 44.1 khz stereo

I'll give 1.0 a try and see how it stacks up now.
