Good audio editing applications are a little bit rare nowadays considering the quality of downloaded music today. The availability of Audacity (a powerful open source audio editing tool) has also made other free tools almost useless.

But if you’re looking for a good alternative to Audacity, consider the application called Free Audio Editor. The name sounds a like a cliché for an application but the name of the application does tell you what it could do. Free audio editor could modify sounds in different audio formats (WMA, OGG, WAV and MP3) with a slew of tools such as noise cancellation and sound compression.

What makes this tool entirely different compared to other sound editing tools is in its simplicity. Instead of complicating things with multi-track tools, loading different types of sounds and editing them is very easy through one track editing. This may also be the bad part of the application since you can’t mix different sounds with different tracks. But then again, you can just cut and paste sounds and mix them according to your need.

The Free Audio Editor on the other hand, has a catch. Although the application is free, exporting the sound that you have just mixed is only limited to WAV format. If you want to expand to MP3 or OGG, you have to shell out $30 for the “Deluxe Edition.” But you don’t have to push yourself to the extra dollars. There are free applications online that have the ability to convert files from WAV to any audio format you prefer.
