Specifications

Audacity is a free, easy-to-use and multilingual audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, AAC, MP4, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3 files, and more.

Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, apply effects to your recordings, change the speed or pitch of a recording, and really much more.

Audacity enables FLAC support. The program also has a built-in amplitude-envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode, and a frequency-analysis window for audio-analysis applications.

The program has the built-in effects, including Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal, and it also supports VST plug-in effects.

Audacity is without a doubt one of the best and easiest digital audio editors on the market and it will meet any requirement at 100% no matter if it is home or professional audio edition.

Fixed some crashes emanating from the Mixer window.

Fixed range-selection beyond the edge of a clip being destructive.
Improved stability of cloud saving.
Fixed pasting content from a clip at the beginning of itself being offset in time.

Fixed audacity continuing to scroll after letting go of the scrollbar.
Fixed black stripes appearing when zooming in while in the envelope or multi-tool.
Added a new “get effects” button next to the Upload Audio button.
