Audacity Manual

This online manual is a work in progress. It relates to the current development code as available in our 1.3.14 alpha Nightly Builds. Therefore the exact content of this online Manual may differ from the installed or downloaded Audacity 1.3.13 Manual or may differ from the current Audacity 1.3.13 Beta interface.

Audacity Beta is the basis for our upcoming 2.0 stable release. This Manual does not relate to 1.2.5 or 1.2.6!
