Review
This is official description
Audacity is a free, easy-to-use and multilingual audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. You can use Audacity to:
- Record live audio.
- Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
- Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files.
- Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together.
- Change the speed or pitch of a recording.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.2
Audacity is a freeware application that allows you to record, edit, mix, import/export files to and from the most popular audio formats like MP2, MP3, WAV, AIFFand AU. Also, you can add effects to existing music or recordings. The list of effects includes compression, fade in and out, bass boost, wah-wah, delay and many others. Also, many of the effects' options are customizable. If you are a professional or an amateur DJ, you can create mixes for recording and using at your concerts or parties.
Audacity is ideal for transforming your collection of old vynil records and audio tapes to digital files. Also, you can enhance the sound of those original recordings by adding sound effects, cleaning the sound by removing unwanted noise, and even changing the pitch and tempo of the recording. This would be very useful if you are a musician who wants to experiment and create new versions of existing recordings, adapting them to your own voice pitch and/or instrument.
You can download Audacity for the three most popular operative systems today: Windows, MacOS and Linux. |

- Interface is kind of unattractive.

What's new in version 2.0
Bug fixes
Interface
Fixed playback speed and synchronization problems when dragging clips or tracks between tracks having different sample rates.
(Windows) Removed a crash risk where shortcuts could be used to record or import in one project while importing or exporting in another.
Imports and Exports
Fixed crashes when changing the sample format of read-directly WAV or AIFF files using the Track Drop-Down Menu.
Fixed a crash importing MP3 files that had duplicate metadata tags (this is a bug in current libsndfile which has been patched in Audacity;
MP3 files mislabeled as WAV which have duplicate tags will still crash Audacity on Linux if Audacity has been compiled against an affected version of system libsndfile).
Fixed an issue where excessively high or corrupted sample values in the audio could corrupt exports from the start of the problem for the rest of the file, and could corrupt the rest of the project.
(Linux) Fixed Audacity could not be compiled against FFmpeg 0.7.x and 0.8.x.
Effects and Analysis
Fixed crash on launch when using "Ambisonic Decoders (PC)" VST plug-ins and other plug-ins that enable additional floating point exceptions.
Fixed Plot Spectrum background could be transparent on some machines.
Bug fixes for Click Track, High Pass, Low Pass and Vocal Remover.
Chirp, Tone and Silence generators now remember their settings.
Other miscellaneous bug fixes
Changes and Improvements
New Interface preference to show the track name in the display (this is off by default).
Longer default Playback preference for effects preview and preview before cut.
Restored use of Page Up and Page Down to scroll horizontally. |
