"Audacity 2.0 is here!!!!"
Pros
What can I say....Audacity will always be on a computer of mine as long as I live. First it's free....ya' can't beat the price anywhere...secondly it's easy to use. You can record and mix tracks all day using just a simple PC....no matter how simple the PC is or How many "bells and audio whistles" ya' put on it Audacity will take it...While it's not my recorder of choice for pro audio it is my recorder for choice if I gotta Idea and I don't want to go through a bunch of setup screens torecord...let's face it by then the essance of the Idea for the song would be long gone....but with this simple program you can create all day long....just point click and record mutitrack ideas...for free!!!!
Cons
How can you put cons on a freebee???? As long as it works Hey it's free use it for what it was intended to be used for...If you want something more goto your local music store and flop down 2 grand..It's as simple as that! I did hear a few flaws in this version as compared to 1.3 but like I said....It's free! I'm sure there will be some patches downloadable soon.
Summary
As always Aduacity came through with another award winning package....FOR FREE!!!! and dispite all the B.S. from the big time musicians who are in the biz for the money go out and buy your 10K recording time at a big guy studio and print your $25.00 cd's as for me.....I make my music for free.....and I give it to God for free.....it's a gift that always gives back in fun as it used to be....as so many have forgotten....except for the folks at Audacity!
