While you get unlimited undos and redos, Audacity's edits are almost always destructive, so it won't replace a proper digital audio workstation like the Editors' Choice pick Avid Pro Tools. It also offers flexible editing down to the sample level as well as spectrogram and spectral views for analyzing frequency response. The program lets you easily import, mix, and combine audio tracks (stereo, mono, or even multitracked recording) and render the output as one. A powerful, free, open-source audio editor that's been available for years, Audacity works smoothly with up to 32-bit/384kHz audio, complete with built-in dithering.

If you're looking to start a podcast or record music, or if you just need a tool to assemble and convert some audio samples, it's tough to go wrong with Audacity.
