It's free and is great if you are on a tight budget. It served it's purpose and gave me an opportunity to record music that sounded like great demos.
After 6 hours of editing and episode for my podcast, the files corrupted. I was devastated and so stressed out and frustrated I laid on my floor and cried.
It has a lot of useful fuctions and I love simple process to edit all audios I need. I can also reduce background noises and it's simply perfect for me.
I am finding it difficult to separate vocals, I wonder if the effect really works because my attempts have proved abortive.
I like playing guitars with backing tracks. I love Audacity because it is very easy to use and make my own backing tracks.
It is no Adobe Audition although it's her poor cousin. It will do loads although for major audio editing projects and professional production work you will begin to see where it falls behind.
What I like best about this software is how simple it is to use, even when it is my first time using it. I appreciate the editing capabilities of this software.
It didn't work well on my HP laptop, so I had to put the program on my computer which has faster programming and it seems to fix the issue.
Overall, I believe you will enjoy working with this software, and it is excellent for achieving your audio desires. Furthermore, this software is fantastic, and I highly suggest it.
I kept struggling with loop editing and a bit frustrated with lack of multi tracks mixing.
I love what it enables me to do & I love how it integrates with Videopad which I also use.
I bought this in the middle of an emergency where my previous software died and I had no way to fix it.
This software is brilliant. I love it and can hundred percent recommend to try it.
While running multiple plugins it becomes hard to manage and organize the media.
Reliability is this programs top selling point. And the fact that its fun to use.
Because I don't use all of the software's features, I can't comment on this. I found it tough to be very particular about where I wanted to cut at first, but I grew used to it.
Harlan: Hi. My name is Harlan, and I'm Director of Operations. I give Audacity five stars. And for more reviews like this, click below. We considered using Sound Forge, which was an open source software. But we liked Audacity better, so we went with Audacity. The reason why we chose Audacity was their tech support was outstanding. They made it very easy to onboard. And, of course, the software is easy to use, a very small learning curve. Basically, it was us downloading the software, contacting tech support to get us all onboarded. The process took probably 20 minutes, and we were up and running and editing audio software, which was great. I highly recommend Audacity for other business users, especially if you're looking to edit presentation software. If you need to insert sounds or clips, it just makes it very easy to do so with Audacity. Highly recommend it.
