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'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.

I've been using Audacity for nearly two decades now. When podcasts were something that radios wouldn't publish on their websites, I was part of a community that did the job of recording and "slicing" the most interesting parts of the programs of a new radio station which couldn't afford doing that job. And the program we used to do that was Audacity. Since that time, everytime I needed reliable software to edit audio files, I always came back to my trusted friend Audacity. It never disappoints. I use it now for my current job as a language teacher, in order to create my own podcasts or audio files to integrate in my videos or exercises for my students.

Best possible price (free). Easy to use and short learning curve. User friendly, yet effective. For a non professional use, it's better than most. For a professional use, there are better options, but there are also really expensive programs that are worse than Audacity. Reliable, solid and continuously updated.

I honestly have zero bad things to mention about this software. Could it be better? Yes, but having in mind the price (free), it's difficult. Asking for the moon, it would be great if Audacity could be used also as a proper audio file converter. That would make it even more awesome.

Audacity is a very good app especially for companies like ours where we deal with a lot of audio editing, once it is properly configured and understood how it works it captures high quality audio directly from the built in audio channel, thus eliminates static or background noise often generated by other apps that records from external speakers

It is one of the best audio capture app as it able to use direct channel audio capturing, the sound is then very clear and without static. Once a sound is captured it can be saved in any of the more popular audio formats. It is a free app and also has a fairly good support community forum where you can get help.

It also requires the integration of other apps such as Soundflower for direct audio capturing therefore makes it a bit complicated to setup and to understand especially for beginners. Audacity also has to be configured properly to capture the sound from Soundflower. Also the user interface is a bit outdated, more like old school style, also does not have too many functionality. Most people only use it for direct audio capture and not much else

Overall, Audacity has been the perfect fit for voice narration. I've narrated over 100 instructional videos with this software with a lot of positive feedback about the clarity and quality of the audio,

You don't need a lot of experience with audio editing to use Audacity. The learning curve is quite small. The noise removal and normalization tools/effects are simple and powerful. It's a great way to learn the basics of audio editing.

The interface isn't particularly attractive and some of tools can be a little tedious to switch between. I've also found that if there are too many other programs running at once, it can inhibit Audacity's performance.

Audacity is one of my favorite audio editing software, especially since I am not a pro at it. Its many features are enough for me. Audacity is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a simple and efficient audio editing tool.

Audacity is a fairly efficient program for working with audio files. Even though it is considered a beginner's program, its various features make it an excellent choice for audio editing. Among other things, we can mention the synchronization of several tracks, the normalization of volume, the removal of noise, etc. In addition, it is open-source, totally free, and available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Not to mention that it supports most audio formats. Not bad for beginner's software

- Advanced features missing for professional use- Not very easy to use for beginners- No app for Android or iOS

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.

I didn’t have bad experiences with Audacity. I needed some time to learn how to use the software at all, but after that I just do all of my recordings in Audacity and I never had any stability and functionality problems.

Audacity is a software which gives you access to most important audio tools and post processing plugins such as Revert, EQ, Compressor and many more. Recording audio and cutting it is really easy to learn. Very important to say is that this software is free to download what’s really great from developers and they are still working on the software ( Audacity is regularly updated)

Audacity would be even better if a user could record multiple channels in the same time ( like in Cubase) I personally don’t like the look of the program. It’s quite basic design without colors , it looks old and out of dated. It would be nice if the users would get in some next updates some changeable skin of the program.

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 mainly use it to record my voice and edit it, I also use it to fix the sound of my videos, it works well for my needs, it gives a lot of value for a free tool.

It's free software with many audio edit tools You can use it as a voice recorder with a microphone and also record sounds from the computer itself there are many effects and tools to change or fix your sound, I use it many times to clean the annoying "HISSS" noise from my tracks You can easily import and export your sounds with the formats: MP3, WAV, OGG, and MIDI and you can also use it as a sound format converter There is multi-language support.

It's not very user-friendly at the start, you need to use some tutorials on the web but it's not difficult to find, I recommend to start using it and looking for tutorials for your specific edit needs.

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.

I personally recommend Audacity to record and mix music because it is free. One of the best software which is free.

One of the best and lightweight music editing software which is free. I am using Audacity for mentioned below points: - Open Source, Free to use - User-friendly - Even audacity is free, it has lots of features and plugins - Flexible, Compatible and Lightweight - Very easy to record, mixing and edit

It would be better if mentioned below rooms are improved or add some features: - Some time it occurs problem while edit - Not well organize GUI - It get slow after multi track is more than 4 or 5
