Audacity is free, but it can easily do the work of expensive digital audio workstations like Pro Tools and Adobe Audition. The Book of Audacity shows you how to complete fun and useful projects with the software while demystifying geeky digital audio jargon along the way. You'll learn how to digitize your vinyl record collections, create podcasts, record live performances, create super-high fidelity recordings, mix and master multi-track recordings, and create ringtones
