Sound Edits and Experiments: Audacity

I have to say that I found this program interesting in the beginning as it was the first time I have used it. I have used video editing software to produce sound for short films before. So I found it easy to adapt to for this reason.
The main thing after about an hour of playing with its effects, I found it quite limited in producing differing sounds. So even though my recordings were varied they would have a similar sound after I added effects. The most effective effects for me were Echo, Tempo Changes, Phaser and Wahwah. Admittedly I didn't stray too far from my favorites.
