I read that version 1.2 will support 32 bit sound quality though. Other problems we encountered is the fact that Audacity feels a bit slow when converting an mp3 to raw or wav, while when playing a converted mp3 with Audacity the quality is serverly worse than the original. The user interface is extremely simple, however, there are not ToolTips and when resizing its window it flickers really badly (at least under Windows). There are also “Label” tracks allow you to annotate waveforms (for example, transcribing speech) and later export the waveforms to a text file.Īudacity supports some spectral features that allow the user to view waveforms as spectrograms or plot the power spectrum of any region of audio, and even export this data to a spreadsheet.Īudacity biggest plus is its ease of use. There are many free, shareware, and commercial VST plug-ins online that do everything from Reverb to Noise Reduction (these need to be specifically recompiled for Linux or MacOS though).Īudacity is a non-destructive editor, but it also writes changes made to the audio to disk, eliminating the need for complicated real-time processing. There are some built-in effects like Amplify, Echo, Fade In/Out, FFT filter, Reverse, Phaser, Bass Boost, Wahwah, Noise Removal and others.Īudacity not only includes many high-quality effects built-in, but also lets you use plug-in effects in the VST format. The application has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications. The great thing about Audacity is that there are no limits on the number of tracks or the length of any track, except the size of… your hard disk. You can import Ogg Vorbis, WAV, Mp3, Midi and other sound formats and then select to do your manipulation with the ease of cut, copy and paste (and with unlimited Undo), you can mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings. Audacity is written using the multiplatform wxWindows C++ API, and today runs on most Unices, including Linux, and Windows and MacOS 9/X. The stable 1.0 version was released only a few days ago. It started a few years back as a simple sound editor, but since then it has evolved in a powerfull modern editor, by supporting multi-track recording. Audacity is a multitrack/recording free audio editor.
