Free Audio Recording Software

download free recording software

Only a few years ago you needed thousands of dollars to create an audio recording studio. Now you can do it nearly for free. Of course there are many limitations with the audio recording software and you will soon discover the need to upgrade to better programs like Protools, Propellorhead Reason, Cubase, Cakewalk and Logic Pro. Yet for someone creating their first audio recording studio there is free software available that will do the job - often very well. Amazingly, some very good audio recording software is available free to download. Here we present the best free audio recording programs available. . Audacity tops the list. Mac users have access to the nearly free GarageBand (check out TheGarageDoor.com for tips). To download th eaudio recording software we recommended, just visit the site and navigate to the download page.

Audacity www.audacity.sourceforge.net is a cross-platform digital audio editor and recording application. It was created by Dominic Mazzoni while he was a student at Carnegie Mellon University; Mazzoni now works at Google. Audacity is free and open source. You can use Audacity to:

Record live audio.
Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files.

There is a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a spectrogram and frequency analysis window for audio analysis. Built-in effects include Echo, Tempo Change, and Noise Removal.
