Audacity - free alternative to Adobe Soundbooth, Audition and WaveLab

Sound editing is a very important part of any multimedia project. Now-a-days sound editing has become very easy and frustration free, thanks to the sophisticated sound editing softwares, which makes the work of the sound editor lot easier and productive. But most of the commercial sound editing software are costly. They may be a better option for professional sound editors but for normal multimedia geeks who just need to do some tweaking of sound, it is not worth the money. But don't be upset there are lots of free sound editors for normal users who just need to do some tweaking and sound enhancing. Here is one such software.
