 Audacity, to my knowledge, still exists. IIRC the dispute surrounding

Looking forward to hearing if Audacity is still a good choice. I
enjoyed working with it in the past.
  tasks that you'd like to perform: import and edit
audio. Recording
 your own
 voiceover? Mix in music? 
 
Yes to all these.
  Produce some music for for your podcast? 
 
Probably not.
  How much
 mastering would you like? Do you expect to work more live or work by
 setting
 things up and then simply rendering to disk?
 
Not sure I understand this question.
  Perhaps even: which software might you be studying
with? The
 particular
 workflow or main focus of your software at college might narrow down
 the most
 likely choices.
 
I'll know better after Wednesday, the first class.
 Sorry, for being of little help and instead providing more questions
 than
 answers.
 
Your response was very helpful. Thank you.

 Best wishes,
