best audio program?

Audacity is a bare bones basic free program. You'd think that would make it good for beginers but tbh it's really clunky. Doing something as simple as aligning your recording can be a pain in the ass. any other program you just hover your cursor over it left click n drag. Audacity has some overly complicated and contrived bullshit of a method for something that should be as easy as 123. So with shit like that and it's lack of functions of something like Cool Edit Pro or Adobe Audition I'd leave it well alone and pick 1 of the other 2 if you're new to home recording.

If you're looking for something more advanced and have the cpu and space to run it then I would go with something like Cuebase, Pro Tools, Reason Record, or Ableton. If you're on a Mac go with Garage Band.
