Audacity
Audacity is an open source, free-to-download software program. It allows users to record,
edit, import, and export audio. It also supports a multi-track environment that enables a user to blend together multiple audio files or overdub a file. In addition to cutting and splicing audio files, effects such as reverb, compression, echo, limiting, equalization, fade, delay, tremolo, and much more are available. Additional effects can be added using the open VST plugin standard, which range from free open source to expensive professional grade. Audacity can also be used to display numerical and visual analyses of audio files, enabling more precise editing.
Downloads are available for both Mac, PC, Linux, and other operating systems at no cost.

Google Earth
Google Earth is a virtual globe, geographical program created by Google. The program uses digital elevation model (DEM) data collected by a NASA space shuttle to create the 3D map. With Google Earth, viewers can view satellite imagery of large portions of the globe. Users can also explore ocean topography, and switch to street view which enables someone to explore roads as if they were in a car. New features of Google Earth allow a user to explore regions of the moon, Mars, and constellations in the sky. New features are being added and existing features enhanced frequently.
Google Earth is available for free download here. A Professional version with enhanced geo-coding, map-making, and GIS features is available as well.
