Discover Audacity – Blancer.com Tutorials and projects

Audacity isn’t a digital audio workstation. It’s an audio editor that’s cross-platform (including Windows, Mac and Linux), open source, and free of charge.

The program is very popular, and incredibly versatile – like the swiss army knife of the audio world. This versatility leads some people to use it as a DAW replacement. Are you a fan of Audacity? How far have you been able to take it?

This article was previously published on the AudioJungle blog. We’ll be bringing you an article from the archives a few times a month.

About Audacity

The creator of Audacity, Dominic Mazzoni, is now an employee of Google. He initially created Audacity as a grad student, and remains very involved in the project.

The Audacity website lists the programs full set of features, which include recording, import and export (making it useful for conversion between many audio formats), multi-track editing, effects, sound quality, support for plug-ins (including VST and LADSPA), and spectrographic analysis.

The free price, open philosophy, long list of features, and relative ease of use, have given it a place on many hard drives – and not just musicians and music producers. Let us know what you think of the program in the comments.
