Audacity - Recording Software

I've been using Audacity recording software since long time, so I thought it would be better to write about it. I think this is one of the best software available if you are recording in your room, or any place other than a recording studio. And since it is an open source, it is free!

It has multi-track recording, multiple effects (echo, compress, delay etc) which can be dowloaded and also the option to export your songs to mp3. Noise removal feature is pretty cool. And also there is a Audacity Wiki for help on any feature.

There are some issues though like aligining the different tracks...Like if u record a track and record one more on it, there is a slight delay. We need to align the tracks to make sure they sound right. This can get a bit tiresome sometimes, but I observed that the difference in the alignment is constant always. So if you just select that difference in the track and delete it, your job is done.
