"My Go-To When Dealing with Audio"

I like having the ability to manipulate files to sound the way I want them to sound. I also like that the program is intuitive and easy to learn. It never takes me very long to complete a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Audacity did have an extensive list of editing options, the editing is limited in functionality compared to paid editing applications (you get what you pay for). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent audio editing tool for beginners - Free Open source Software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Audacity?

Almost all audio editing tools are available in Audacity. We can merge multiple tracks easily. Many plugins available in open sources are very convenient to use. The final audio quality after the edit is good, and we can record audio too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Audacity?

The editing tool is best for beginners but not suitable for advanced projects. The user interface needs to be improved. For free of cost, it's one of the most recommended audio editing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great audio recording tool"
5/5

Audacity is a free audio recording solution with deep customization of its recordings. You can also monitor the audio you are recording and with that feature output the audio to a cable output software to have cleaner microphone audio output Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not easy to get into it, and it would help a lot a quick access button to restart the recording so you don't need the mouse when you are testing microphone sound Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
