Your Thoughts On Audacity
 

Hey,

I'm hoping to do some more game ripping soon by recording the sound directly, and I was thinking about using Audacity, as it's free. I was wondering though if this is good software to do ripping and recording or whether there are other good, free ones.

I used Audacity to record cassette tapes into my computer. I was pretty happy with the outcome, it worked really well with a direct line in from my cassette deck.

Yes, Audacity will do the job nicely.

Personally I use Sony Sound Forge. It ain't free, but I got a cracked version from a friend and so the program thinks I paid for it.

Audacity is fine if you want a program for just line-in recordings and such but it has alot of annoying bugs when dealing with anything lower than 44khz. The saved projects will be corrupted and exported wave files will have an extra 5 seconds of silence tacked onto the end. Not difficult to avoid but if you don't know in advance it could ruin your work.

I used Audacity because of the bit-option when importing PCM files. Otherwise I use Audition.

Audacity is horrible, I hate it. Cool Edit 2000 is infinitely better.
