Audacity - A powerful audio recording and editing tool
I've used it for years, even for professional work, because it's easily had, it's free, it does the basics very well, and, once I put in the time [not much needed] to learn its interface, I'd rather do it in the app I already know, than pull up a more powerful app to do the same thing.

I should add that I've not yet used an Intel Mac, so I haven't encountered the problems I see mentioned with Audacity on those machines. That would be a bummer, if I had to rely on it, but here's how I look at it: if I *must* rely on a software tool, then I *must* keep a machine that will run that tool. Also, I *must* have a reliable tool, which, in this case, suggests that my already-ordered MBP will need a different audio editor if I expect to use it for that kind of work.

I used it once to record a live dj mix from my turntables and mixer. I doesn't seem it is very well designed for recording stuff longer than a couple of minutes. It crashed hard on me after about an hour (and the GUI was a mess before the crash too. It was like it had restarted from the beginning of the timeline when I reached a certain length of recording). Had to start the mix over from the beginning. Since then I cannot trust it.

For long recording projects, I have had excellent results with Ardour. It requires X11 and Jack, but is by far one of my favorite audio tools. |
