Audacity is a free/open source, cross platform digital audio editor. The source code for Audacity is released under the GNU General Public License. The graphical user interface for the editor has been produced using the wxWidgets library.
Audacity was created by Dominic Mazzoni of Google, while he was a graduate student at Carnegie-Mellon University. Dominic Mazzoni is still the main developer and maintainer of Audacity, with help from many others around the world.
[edit] Features
Some of Audacity's features include:
* Importing and exporting WAV, MP3 (via the LAME MP3 Encoder, downloaded separately), Ogg Vorbis, and other file formats
* Recording and playing sounds
* Editing via Cut, Copy, Paste (with unlimited Undo)
* Multi-track mixing
* Digital effects and effect plug-ins. Additional effects can be written with Nyquist
* Amplitude envelope editing
* Noise removal
* Support for multichannel modes with sampling rates up to 100 kHz with 24 bits per sample
* The ability to make precise adjustments to the audio's speed, while maintaining pitch, in order to synchronise it with video, run for the right length of time, etc. Unlike many other programs, Audacity has very few audible artifacts (doubling, or chorus type effects) when lengthening or shortening a file.
* Large array of plug-ins available

Daring; a willingness to take personal risks. There's kind of a sense of fearlessness about the word, too. If you've ever seen the old Errol Flynn _Robin Hood_ movie, that was a good example of 'audacity'.

Boldness or daring. You know if you want someone to clean up after themselves and then they say I cleaned up yesterday. You would say "I can't believe you have the audacity to say that, cause your the one that made the mess today!"
