With Audacity I was able to reconstruct audio recordings based on multiple takes that I had on old cassettes for a music project. The ability to edit with extreme precision to capture outtakes and re-assemble them into a fluid final cut was amazing. > > **Cons**: The UI isn't as pretty as other solutions and it take time with the manual to understand how to use the software. Not a show stopper, but given how much this software can do, it was worth the extra effort to understand the basics. > > The software is rock solid and once you know how to import and modify the content you can do power editing and creation. this software allowed me to capture decades old audio from outdated formats and bring it into the digital world\! ----- ### "Great for basic audio editing and filtering" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *28 August 2024* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's basic, but it does all you need for simple tasks. > > **Cons**: Navigation within a clip can be tricky sometimes. > > I started using this when I lost my access to Adobe Creative Suite, and rapidly realized it was actually better suited to my needs. I wouldn't use it for mixing music, but it's perfectly adequate for taking a voice recording and prepping it for a podcast or voice-over. It's quick and easy, and it has a decent range of built-in tools and filters. ----- ### "Audacity is good for Audio editors and beginners." — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 August 2023* | Music | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked it because it is easy and it is free. > > **Cons**: I didn't like the fact that it doesn't have a good manual for mixing and mastering for beginners. > > I loved Audacity when I first started it. Now I am using a different program, but Audacity is a great start for beginners. ----- ### "Best for bigger" — 5.0/5 > **Rhymes** | *27 September 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I feel good when I was starting making a Beats or recommending because everything easy to use > > **Cons**: I need more mixing mastering equipment in audacity there are less options do to > > Overall good experience with audacity i recommend to use make the hit with your own style improve your skills through audacity ----- ### "Deserves way more recognition\!" — 4.0/5 > **Jean Philippe** | *2 November 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Audacity is the Swiss knife of audio editing. It has anything and everything you could need to chop, cut, copy, stutter or effect audio quickly and easily. It needs no manual (it has one anyway) since it's very intuitive and even a hobbyist will find some way to use it in a matter of minutes. It even supports VSTs, so bring your virtual effects library and enjoy\! > > **Cons**: There's nothing I would like Audacity to do that it doesn't right now. It's not meant to mix, multitrack or anything like that (DAWs exists for a reason) it's just good at what it does. Maybe the GUI could be more modern? But who does not like a dose of vintage\! > > Audacity is one of the most career-spanning software available. It's used by many professional studios, why wouldn't they? It does exactly what it advertises at a more than fair price.Wether I scratch some ideas in Ableton Live or multitrack in Reaper, I always keep Audacity nearby and opened ready to make quick edits and export them back into DAW. I also use it to record very long audio clips, edit them using the waveform view and tadah\!
