    If you need to edit audio files, this is the program you need. Many built in options, and can be extended with VST-plugins.

    I add a remark to my previous post : When copying from tapedeck and/or vinyl disc the sound is a bit dark -> this is NOT because Audacity changes the sound. Its just because my tapedeck recordings are not in HIFI CD quality. (I tried other programs, but noticed those others do change the sound)
    Also my profile mentions 4 hour use. But that must be at least 100 hours. But when I use it I am often not connected to the internet, so no wakoopa tracking.
