My overall experience with audacity is a satisfactory one.

What I like the most about this software is that Is not expensive compared to other audio softwares.

I really didn’t dislike anything on this software.

Overall good experience with audacity i recommend to use make the hit with your own style improve your skills through audacity

I feel good when I was starting making a Beats or recommending because everything easy to use

I need more mixing mastering equipment in audacity there are less options do to

the software allowed me to make my first sounds which still sound great today. I really enjoyed using it

the fact of being free to start in music there is no excuse not to make music. it's just exciting

the interface should be reworked, it looks like old software from the 98s and to improve the effects in order to bring something new

Audacity makes recording computer audio convenient and easy. Once the settings are plugged in correctly, I can capture audio all day without issue. It doesn’t seem to tax my system as much as Adobe Audition, so that’s a huge plus.

I honestly don’t have any cons when it comes to Audacity. Since it’s free, I don’t expect much and am always surprised as to what I can accomplish within it. Um… it could be GUI’er?

it's a tool that allows me to edit audio and export it in several audio formats such as wav

it's a simple sound mixing tool, for adding sound effects to your audio

it's easy to use despite its not-so-appealing design!

My overall experience is good since I use audacity to record some promotionals and advertising for the company to recruit new hires. This is weekly.

The best thing of this software is the easy way can be used. Have good elements and is not too much difficult to understand.

I believe they can improve in the interface since the actual one looks like and old version of an old software. Also I believe they need to explain each features since there's not a lot of information of the best way to use it.

I first tried Audacity way back in the early 00's and, while appreciating its feature set, never found it a compelling choice compared to Sound Forge or Wavelab. Mind you, it is totally free and will do the job for most amateur editors.

Audacity is extremely feature-rich for a free audio editor. This has made it immensely popular with beginners and podcasters looking for a free solution to get started. Audacity is a great place to start to learn audio editing.

Audacity suffers from one of the ugliest graphical user interfaces out there. Contrast is poor, the blue-on-grey aesthetic is exhausting, and the icons are straight out of a clipart site from 1998. Performance can be spotty on some Macs.

As a former broadcaster (now an educator), I was genuinely impressed with the tool, its simplicity, and the ability to intuit where certain features can be found and how they can be applied.

The simplicity of both installing Audacity, and using it "out of the box" is inspired. Audacity goes a long way toward facilitating asynchronous recording with the ability to record "Track 1" and then record other tracks directly over track one. Want to sing along with yourself? Audacity enables that. Want to interview yourself with one track over a mic and another over a different mic (to create the illusion of multiple players)? Audacity makes that possible. And it saves down into virtually every imaginable format.

The noise reduction capability for the software shifts the volume too radically. It's difficult to achieve consistency of volume when trying to reduce noise track by track.

The software is rock solid and once you know how to import and modify the content you can do power editing and creation. this software allowed me to capture decades old audio from outdated formats and bring it into the digital world!

Audacity works across all the media types that I needed. With Audacity I was able to reconstruct audio recordings based on multiple takes that I had on old cassettes for a music project. The ability to edit with extreme precision to capture outtakes and re-assemble them into a fluid final cut was amazing.

The UI isn't as pretty as other solutions and it take time with the manual to understand how to use the software. Not a show stopper, but given how much this software can do, it was worth the extra effort to understand the basics.

You download it from the internet , you install it in 2 minutes and it works....No worry , no fees

First it's totally free and also this software is very simple to intall.

The interface and the menu are a little bit not very great looking like cubase or other major but if you keep in minds that it's free , i think we can do with it

Simple enough to be learnt by everyone, deep enough to be used professionally.

To be honest, this tool has everything you need to work with sound.

I found myself wishing for more and better options that I need for audio and video work when we are editing soundtracks and films, etc. After a trial run, I looked elsewhere.

I liked that Audacity is free to download and try. It lets you give it a shot and see if it works for a business before investing more time and money into it. I am grateful for that.

There are better products out there. I think Audacity tries too hard to be the "universal" standard for open-source digital audio editing and in doing so it lacks more sophisticated features and options that I am looking for. There are many more suites of software that are more robust and go beyond what this basic app can do. Don't get me wrong. The app is good and I am sure it meets the needs of most users.

I'm a scriptwriter in the film and TV business, basically writing drama. I do a lot of research for many of the projects I work on. Some of the research is audio research, such as recording radio documentaries relating to subjects I'm working on. These audio recordings are as useful as any written material, and I often share them with directors and producers I'm working with. Once you get the hang of it, which really shouldn't take too long, it's a great, safe program.

I like to record podcasts, radio dramas, etc. and was recommended this program as a free, good program for that purpose. It's an excellent deal for the money ($0). I know my way around computers but have no real expertise at sound mixing or recording. I use Audacity basically as a recording medium. You can easily set the time length of the recording, press record, start the audio you want to record, and it works completely in the background, shutting itself off when the timer stops. After that you can click file, export (usually to MP3) assign the folder to store the recording and and it will process the audio and there you go. You can also set it to record and stop at a specific time. Audacity will basically record any audio that passes through your speakers and as a bare bones user that's precisely what I use it for. Audacity is a very powerful program and from what I can see can be used by professional or semi-professional sound engineers. It has many functions, 90% of which I never use and would not know how to use. But that's fine. You can use it without any fear of malware, advertising, someone trying to sell you something. And I appreciate that.

Audacity, as I said, is a complex, powerful program. Even for doing the simple type of recording I do, there is a bit of a learning curve. For instance, after the audio recording has stopped one would logically export it to a folder where it would be saved. But you have to press stop, even if the recording has stopped. Otherwise export will not work. Not a big deal but it took some figuring and looking at the manual and instructional websites to find that out. Audacity saves recordings as projects. I'm still not completely sure what a project is, but when I first began using Audacity I inadvertently saved many projects and found my computer slowing down. A tech support guy found the issue and I erased all the Audacity files that were taking up a lot of memory. Little issues like that. Also, it seems every time I get a new computer and install Audacity, it doesn't work. I end up with a lot of hair pulling getting it working. That's not really Audacity's fault. You have to have the right configuration in Windows audio settings and they're not that easy to figure out. It takes some trial and error, but once you find the right configuration, Audacity works fine. Audacity is free. There's no one to call for tech support. So be prepared to spend a bit of time setting it up and getting it to work. But once it is set up it's great. At least for the simple recording I do.

Audacity includes countless fundamental sound effects where you could also add various plugins. Preset EQ bends, are a major take away, with an ongoing sneak peak in the effects and features. There is an incredible Bass and High pitch changes as well as high-and low-pass channels. A basic compressor, limiter, phaser, reverb, wahwah and tremolo impacts likewise show up among the choices. Switching sound or shortening quietness takes simply a quite adjustment. There are some features that highlight you to include voiceovers a webcast or radio track. Maybe the best part is that Audacity upholds processes that utilizes a favorable condition when it comes to adjusting the project rate . For instance, you can adjust a progression of audio effects or sounds at the same time without re using similar features again and again.

Audacity allows you to keep in either 16-digit or 24-bit sound. One of the most desirable characteristics that it can flawlessly change over and consolidate any sounds you haul in, paying little mind to test rate and organizations. Concerning altering, we can recorder, copy, or erase sound, orchestrate various sound effects on a similar track, and alter directly down to a sample level. The featuring functions permits you to add custom with fade in and fade out options also.

To be honest I don`t have anything that i don`t like about Audacity as it has always been my first choice for a pre production of my music and arranging the segments or stems for a fantastic collaboration or pre designed output.

To be honest, I've used it for over 3 years and only use it when I'm in a hurry, it serves the purpose at that moment .

Speed and ease are always required for anyone, whether it is for their own company or for another business. Time these days is important, and anyone should take advantage of it. I apologize for the introduction, but it will save me the trouble of delivering information to you. I will not say that it is the best audio engineering program, but there are other programs that are more in-depth in this field, such as Adobe Audition, but what is unique about Audacity is that it is very easy to use and has all the things that you will use in audio engineering like other programs . You can master it in a few days, the user interface is very simple and you will not have difficulty, the nice thing is that it is open source, and anyone can download it for free.

It is true that the user interface is simple and easy to deal with, but it is not the beauty of Adobe Audition, there you feel that you are in an audio engineering program Unlike Audacity , which you don't feel it .

With Audacity I'm able to do everything I need to do; manage the timeline, improve the quality of individual clips, equalize if I need more mid-tones, or move out too much bass.

Most, of course is the price - free. I appreciate that there's a huge amount of community support. You can master the program by watching YouTube videos.

I personally don't care for the fact you have to select your clip first before you can move it. Select the whole length of the clip you're moving. More drag and drop would be nice.

Audacity was perfect for me to record and learn how to edit my voiceover content all while being free. I think it's great for beginners or people who want to give voice-over a try. Audacity makes it super easy to learn and gives you everything you need to start your voiceover career or just for fun!

First off I love that it's free and one of the easiest voice-over softwares I've used. Of course, you still need to have some base understanding but it's very user-friendly. The ability to convert files to fit specific formats is great and super useful

Obviously, because it's free there are many features that aren't available but for someone just starting out you really don't need those extra features. They can also seem overwhelming at first when there are so many so keeping it simple is great but later on after some experience, you may find yourself wanting more and inclined to find other ssoftware and pay for those extra features.

overall experience I would really recommend this software for everyone and especially the beginners.

Audacity is a really common software to record and mix your audio, it has a really simple interface which making it looks easy to use for everyone. the software has many free plugins ready to use, and it has many advanced tools to make the audio sound really professional. in this software you can record audio and edit, add effects, control the sound and export your project in multiple audio formats.

to be honest, the software is great, but if it has a phone version that would be great.

audacity gave me the opportunity to use my creativity into music and changing sounds to more smoothened and easier versions to understand.dddd

there aren't many options to choose from, but mainly i suggest that the only point that doesn't let me use audacity to a full potential, is the complex system behind all the ideas i want to adoperate.

Trying to voice record. More than three weeks behind schedule due to performance issues.

When it works, it seems to be okay, but I can't even get to using it because settings and performance issues are severe.

Every day I sign on to the software, and every day it has a different problem than the day before. Nothing has been changed since the day before when I have inevitably spent HOURS finding that day's problem and fixing it. I have spent hours and hours searching their help forum. I have spent hours on the internet trying to identify what infinitesimal thing is causing problems. Sometimes I do nothing, and somehow the problem corrects itself for no reason. The whole point of this software is that I shouldn't need either a software engineer or a sound engineer to use it. That has not been my experience. Not sure if other programs are any better, but online reviews indicate that Audacity is one of the best around. There is virtually no help, except a forum where someone might or might not answer. I'm not stupid and I can follow the directions I find by googling. It's just that the solutions don't generally address the problem.

I was recording videos for my Youtube channel, and I needed something like GarageBand to record my vocals. Of course, it's aggrivating to use 2 different computers for this task, but I was able to find Audacity and use the program to get my audio in line. It also sounds really amazing! Took my videos to a more professional level

I loved being able to record and mix quickly without much trouble. Literally plugged in my microphone interface and started recording away! Once you understand it's simplicity, it can take you a long way!

There were times where slowing down the audio was too distorted, even after adding the right effects. Also, moving around the interface can be a bit overwhelming. There is alot of buttons in front of you, so making sure you know the userface is very important.

From recording a single source to quickly editing or encoding audio, Audacity is an incredible free tool that has been on the market for almost 2 decades. It is my go-to for quickly editing audio or recording a source.

Audacity was the first recording program that I had used when I began experimenting with music 15 years ago. Ever since, it is my go-to program for projects or audio that need quick editing. For these simple operations, I find Audacity to be perfect. No need to load up a ton of presets or plug-ins. Audacity is good to go and easy to use.

Audacity lacks some of the features of some of the higher-end Digital Audio Workstations like Logic or Pro Tools, but for a free tool, it is extremely robust. Added features can be nice, but it may take aware from Audacity's stream-lined process.

I don't use Audacity for recording as much as for post production, e.g. equalizing the sound, making sure the volume is consistent across a recording, get rid of background noise, cutting out a cough or "ahem" and "ergh" here and there. That type of thing. Although it is not a simple tool (unless maybe you are a professional audio engineer), mostly due to the fact that there are so many things you can do with it, there are tons of tutorials on YouTube and across the internet to help you deal with a specific thing you want to solve. I use it to polish up the audio track with me talking for my podcast. Great tool to use, and you can't beat free!

First off, Audacity is completely free. But it is also the gold standard right now, which is quite an amazing combination. I mostly use this tool for post production of interviews and my podcast and it can do everything you need it to with relative ease.

It is chockfull with advanced features and there are so many settings, I find it hard to know what to do and how. My solution has been to bookmark a few tutorials for those tasks I need most and re-visit them. There are tons of how-to's on the internet that guide you through whatever it is you need to do step by step.

This was so much helpful as a beginner in music production. It taught me how to layer tracks and mix too... Basic concepts easily learned in audacity.

The easy and friendly interface in thos software is o overwhelming. You can teach yourself almost everything at one look or use. Simple but professional tools to use for multitrack mixing and editing.
