"Clear Instructions for Beginnners AND Works on a Mac!"
Version: Audacity 1.3.12
Pros
I've never done any type of sound editing and had a voice recording with a constant hissing sound I wanted to eliminate. The online user manual on Audacity's website was excellent! It is well organized & very detailed, outlining the steps clearly.
Cons
When you're done editing & ready to save file, the only way to do so in mp3 (or whatever format of orig file), you must download a separate program file (LAME). A bit confusing at first but only took a couple minutes.
Summary
This program functions smoothly, is easy to use and seems like the user can do a lot with it because there were a long list of choices in the drop down menus. I'm so glad it works on mac! Hard to believe it's free!

"Great Software!"
Version: Audacity 1.3.12
Pros
Ease of use
Powerful for the priceCons
None - I appreciate the review that mentions "wish it could do video".
Summary
I was looking for a product that would allow me to make simple cuts to music clips and fades, things of that nature for use with photo movies. I've used Adobe Sound Booth (fka Cool Edit Pro) for more complicated Audio editing on the job, and I was surprised at how well this program worked and how much it would do, and it is FREE. As a bonus, I needed to record something through my computer's microphone and it did an excellent job. I am very pleased and highly recommend you give it a try if you're looking for a simple, straightforward, easy to use program.

"Good quality and free. Who can complain?"
Version: Audacity 1.3.12
Pros
Good interface for basic editing
Decent selection of plug-ins for effects
Able to record 24 bit 96KHz stereo reliably (Mac OSX 10.5)
FREE!Cons
Considering it's free, not a single one. Beta versions can be unstable. Stable versions are fairly glitch free.
Summary
It's a good basic DAW program. It will allow you to record from analog sources (depending on your soundcard) well, can import MP3 and AAC, Apple lossless files, WAV, AIFF, etc.
Considering the price, It's great for getting your feet wet and give you basic tools for digital editing and recording. -

Cons
Wish it could handle video.
Summary
Excellent product and one that I would definitely pay money for!

"Basic vocal tracks- THIS IS IT.."
Version: Audacity 1.3.12
Pros
1. User friendly
2. Quality sound
3. Easy import-export options
4. Free all the way
5. Great for podcasting, and straight audio (talking, etc.)Cons
1. Not for advanced recordings that demands effects and multiple tracks
2. Should not be you dedcated DAW.
3. Basic usage for mixing/speechSummary
This is a nice and stable program for online radio shows and basic vocals for free!!!
On the other end it should not be used for mastering albums either. Just simple easy vocals that listners can enjoy. I have used the program since 08' good 3rd string option...
