JavaFX supports digital audio sequencing, which uses digital audio technology. Digital
audio represents analog audio by taking digital audio
samples
. Digital audio content is
commonly created using digital audio composition and sequencer software packages,
such as Propellerhead Reason and Cakewalk Sonar. In this section, you will download
and install the popular open source digital audio editing and optimization software
package known as
Audacity
. Audacity is available for the Linux, Windows, and Mac
OSs, so you can use any OS platform that you like to create and optimize digital audio
for your Java 8- and JavaFX-based games.
To find the Audacity software package on the Internet, use the Google search en-
gine, and type in

load
