Wow! Open Source Audio editor for Linux, Windows and MacOS. The screenshot here is Audacity running in Windows XP.
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1179 Audacity is a multitrack/recording free audio editor. It started a few years back as a simple sound editor, but since then it has evolved in a powerfull modern editor, by supporting multi-track recording. The stable 1.0 version was released only a few days ago. Audacity is written using the multiplatform wxWindows C++ API, and today runs on most Unices, including Linux, and Windows and MacOS 9/X. Audacity is licensed under the GPL. You can import Ogg Vorbis, WAV, Mp3, Midi and other sound formats and then select to do your manipulation with the ease of cut, copy and paste (and with unlimited Undo), you can mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings. The great thing about Audacity is that there are no limits on the number of tracks or the length of any track, except the size of... your hard disk. The application has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications. There are some built-in effects like Amplify, Echo, Fade In/Out, FFT filter, Reverse, Phaser, Bass Boost, Wahwah, Noise Removal and others. Audacity not only includes many high-quality effects built-in, but also lets you use plug-in effects in the VST format. There are many free, shareware, and commercial VST plug-ins online that do everything from Reverb to Noise Reduction (these need to be specifically recompiled for Linux or MacOS though).
