Comments on Sound Recording and Editing with Audacity on Ubuntu
In all the years I have been dealing with both Linux and sound recordings, I have never found a simplest and more powerful tool than Audacity to get the job done. This open source sound recorder, editor, analyzer, generator and effect applicator is surely one of the most useful and important tools ever to be produced by the free software community.

Personally I love the interface and hope they work on new features rather than trying to fix something that is not broken.
Personally, I've never done anything with sound files that Audacity was not more than capable of handling. I'm sure that there are people out there who need Ardour or Qtractor for one reason or another, but I haven't gotten that far into sound production thus far. I have gradually been drawn into doing things that I needed more powerful software to do, so perhaps someday I will need something more, but at the moment Audacity for audio and Kdenlive for video are doing what I ask them to do.
I also like the interface. There is nothing wrong with it and it's intuitive.
OK, I've been searching for 1/2 an hour. All I want to know is how to start it up in Linux. It's not in the menus and command not found using the cli. Installed it with yum on Centos 7 Linux locohost.locodomain 3.10.0-327.28.3.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 18 19:05:49 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
