Audacity Development Team - (Open Source)



Audacity is a multi-track recorder able to handle full projects, and an audio editor.

Audacity is a free audio processing software that supports the following file formats: WAV, AIFF, OGG and MP3, applying many filters to sound: silence suppression, echo or add special effects, noise suppression, mixing, distortion, reverb, pitch bend / shift and more.

It can cut audio files, delete or add rests, apply fading in / out audio files and treat separately the left / right channels. The program offers unlimited undo number and also the possibility to convert the records and old tapes to digital media.

Thanks to the integrated editor, you also have the ability to copy, paste and mix sounds together to create multitrack projects.

Cross-platform Bug Fixes:

stereo files

unmodified audio at the end of the modified region
* Noise Removal inserted a tail of low level noise at the end
of the modified region

in progress dialogue and over-estimated "Remaining Time"
* Cancelling Nyquist effects deleted unprocessed audio

selection length
* Cut lines invisible

an imported WAV read direct from the file
* Export multiple "Other uncompressed files" choice always
produced 16-bit PCM audio irrespective of chosen options.
* MP3 export usually produced a 128 kbps constant bit rate file
irrespective of chosen options; reported length often
incorrect
* MP3 ID3 Genre tag misread on import if the genre list in
Metadata Editor was opened and saved
* Exported metadata tags in MP3, OGG and FLAC often not seen by
