Comparative study of three audio processors as environments for laboratory activities on wave physics and acoustics

Abstract Audio processors allow to implement laboratory activities specially on acoustics. We have evaluated three audio processors (Audacity, WaveLab, and Adobe Audition). Although an overall grade was also calculated as a guideline (not a statement of “the best”), the decision about the most suitable one depends on each particular laboratory activity. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
