What do you like best about Audacity?

The feature I like the most in Audacity is its easy to remove the background noise, just select a small clip of the background so that Audacity can easily detect the particular audio frequency and remove it. It works like a charm and remove the noise within seconds. I also use the audio effect to get the deepen voice by adding base and tribble. Nest part of Audacity is it is free and have the same features like paid one. Easy to download less than 25MB and straight forward installation. Can easily automate some repeated task by macros.

What do you like best about Audacity?

Free! Yay! and quite good editor for two tracks for basic editing. I use it with Fruity Loops 20. I like that it has a simple interface, decent work flow for editing and good sound quality with recording tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Audacity?

Not as useful for beats as fl20, but they work in combination well. Some editing takes longer to do than if you know what you are doing in something like logic pro, but logic pro costs money and has a steeper learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Audacity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mixing and editing and tracking recording. It is a great free solution. good for 2 track editing and recording. I have been more productive lately. This is good software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Audacity?

Audacity lets me record audio directly through my computer's microphone or other input sources. I can control the recording parameters, such as sample rate and bit depth, to achieve the desired quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Audacity?

Audacity's compatibility with specific audio formats or codecs can sometimes be limited. This could result in difficulties when importing or exporting files in particular forms, especially those that are proprietary or less commonly used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Audacity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Audacity can perform basic to intermediate audio editing tasks; professional-grade software does not have some advanced features. I need some advanced noise reduction algorithms, high-end audio effects, or complex automation which Audacity lacks to solve for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Audacity?

I like that audacity is lightweight, easy to use and to the point. It is not bloated with unnecessary features. It is fast and has all the right tools to do quick edits to your audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Audacity?

I don't particularly appreciate that audacity is limited regarding live previews of the effects you apply. You can only hear the preview before using it for a limited time. And there is no way to disable the feature on the go as the audio is permanently changed when you apply it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Audacity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mixing and Mastering audio for podcasts. It is easy to remove background noise without sacrificing quality. Audacity has one of the cleanest noise removal tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Audacity?

Besides being a free product, Audacity is a relatively quick and lightweight application that gets the job done without getting mired in extra little-used features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Audacity?

Since Audacity is freeware, the support services are different and more self-serve than a paid software product. This is typically not an issue depending on the ability of the user to find solutions if a problem arises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Audacity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Audacity enables our team to clean audio for use in our applications and training quickly. This allows us to streamline our workflow and push out as much of the basic editing to entry-level users as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
