Audacious editing with Audacity

If you play with audio and you haven't discovered Audacity yet, click on the link right now and go get it. It's one of those "How is this still free!?!" kind of apps. And it is still free. I record in Pro Tools and I still use this little freebie to do simple mastering for online distro, including file cleanup, EQ and mp3 conversion. When I need to do excerpt edits, I can chop the file and add fades in no time. Works great on Mac and PC, and to my ears the mp3 converter sounds way better than iTunes' built-in tool (I only use AAC when converting in iTunes).

I've been posting frequently on garageband.com, and all those files were created in Audacity.
