Not legally. You can download just about anything, though, if you want to go that route.
I think if you're recording not in a professional studio and not where you have a studio set up, it isn't going to sound great. That's just the way that it is. Good luck, though.

its not the progam thats the problem, its either a) your mic or cables b) your sound card or c)your speakers. audacity is a wonderful program and doesnt affect in any way the sound quality of your recordings noob.

I, personally, have never had a problem with Audacity, either.

Anyways Marxist, Audacity is a fairly decent program and as suggested already before, your sound problem most likely resides in the actual physical equipment your using to record your material. If your going cheap, you can always check pawn shops or scratch-and-dents sections of your local music store for relatively lower end priced used gear (a few mics, a multi-track recorders would do wonders in on itself, a mixer, probably even a few drum mics) but of course obtaining all of that would probably leave you a little dry and which case, you may do best just to scrounge up some money (and gig your arse off even if you have to razz ) and just go rent some time at a local recording studio, which could run you anything from $100-$200 bucks for a hour or 2 (for one of the smaller rooms of course). My best advice to you is just shop around (for both equipment and local studio prices) and who knows, maybe someone will throw you a bone. Best of luck to you and your mates. Peace!

Thanks. We don't really have the money for all that. I guess we'll just invest a couple dollars and buy some better mics and what not. I think i figured out what our main problem was, we didn't know how to fully use audacity. Maybe now that we better understand how to use it we'll be able to come out with more decent stuff. thanks again.

In my opinion audacity is a good program if you are going direct line ( instrument-mixer-sound card) than if you mic amps/drums. It is a good looping software as well, and it is a GREAT program for local bands to start recording there songs, but you have to learn the program, or everything will sound bad.

yeah, I'm using it for some solo stuff right now and it sounds fuzzy. I'm just going to have to read through the manual.

I'm using Protools LE.. I don't know anything about Audacity... but judging from the response i'de say it's good... to keep from getting the fuzzy sound... make sure your mic. is not clipping... that makes a distorted sound... maybe (quite possible) it is your mic.
just figure out the program...
I listened to my first recordings and they suck.. ive spent way to much time on figuring out my program... lol
they don't sound to bad now...
