Nice job. I have always looked for a program like this. This will help out so much when looking for sfx. Good job and thanks :D

move this to FAQ, or sticky it.

btw, can you give us a link to this "Audacity" program?

Yes, yes. I'm going to edit this today when I get from school. I'm going to add Audacity link, add more tricks & hints and also images to get it easier.
