I am trying to use Audacity - in the effects drop box - there is no rock setting in the graphic eq tab. :?: You have to experiment with what sounds good to you.

I've been using Audacity for a while now, but mostly the Windows version. I've been using Linux for maybe a little over a year now. I use OpenSuse 11.4 and the KDE desktop.
