Usual Recommendation

• Try google and type in the words you were hoping for. If there is a peculiar error message, typing a key phrase from that message, possibly in quotes so that it gets treated as a phrase, may get you what you want.
• The FAQ  answers frequently answered questions. It's a good place to start.
• Our Tutorials cover a very wide range of common problems.

Some hard-to-classify pages

• Brief overview of Audacity
• Audacity features
• Portable Audacity
• Keyboard shortcuts

Some Apparently 'Off Topic' Pages

• VoxForge - A project to use Audacity to gather Creative Commons Audio.
• Storm Botnet - Be aware of modern Malware.

In the Manual

These topics are covered in the manual  too, but we have slightly 'faster track' versions here on this wiki:
