Last time i checked, people weren't recommending audacity because some shit the devs pulled,
b e a r d
@orekix @hideki yeah it got bought a while ago and they new company added in telemetry and said they would work with the alphabet boys to give them info about who is using the program. Something along those lines.
A bunch of forks that removed that cropped up but none have been updated in a while BECAUSE...
Audacity changed course and made the telemetry opt-in (under the guise of "providing statistics to improve the software" of course).
So now that you can just not have to worry about that stuff, people can still use audacity and be fine. If you're really paranoid, block it in your firewall.
@hideki i'm still so salty that logic pro is only on mac. that DAW is so nice. mixcraft is like the baby version of it but it's as close as i can get on windows.
@beardalaxy when i've needed to edit some audio i have used some program called Wavosaur, that seems to have a lot of technical shit that i don't understand, but it's lightweight as fuck and freeware
