- This tutorial could use a picture of the interface, with an explanation of what the buttons do. Now that I've written the "DAW" chapter about the interface, I wonder if it wouldn't be just as useful to "hijack" that section. I don't think the differences would be alarming, and it would be a good way to save time - we'll see.

<para>
- When you save a file in Audacity with the ''Save'' or ''Save As'' commands, it is saved in an Audacity-only format. This is good, because it allows Audacity to save extra information about the audio, which is impossible to store in conventional formats like ''OGG'', ''FLAC'', or even ''AIFF'' and ''WAV.''
+ Audacity saves its data in a format that only Audacity can use. Audacity saves more information than just the audio files, and this information cannot be stored in conventional audio files like OGG, FLAC, or AIFF.

<para>
- If you want to share your audio work, or use it with another application, you will need to ''export'' it. This means that all of your tracks will be reduced to one track, and all of your channels will be reduced to stereo audio (with two channels). When you export, Audacity may warn you that your audio is being mixed into two channels. This will only affect the exported audio file, not the Audacity-format file.
+ When you want to share your work, or use it in another application, you must export it. When you "export" audio, Audacity converts the Audacity-only file into a conventional audio file. Audacity does not delete the original Audacity-only file, but the exported file cannot be converted into the Audacity-only format.
