Many of you have used cassette tapes to record audio of a lesson, or audio of an oral report or presentation. In today world, cassette players are being replaced by MP3 players. Audacity allows you to create MP3 files for download to either a computer, MP3 player, or the web for access from anywhere with an Internet connection. Audacity is pre-loaded on CFF laptops and is also available as a free download from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Audacity provides the user with tools which were never available using cassettes tapes. You can record multiple tracks, fade-in, fade-out, add white noise, cut out unwanted pauses or background noise, and amplify if your recording is too soft. The list goes on and on.
