This may not be a problem if you’re doing simple editing tasks. This means that you can’t go back and undo any changes later. The only downside with Audacity is it uses “destructive editing,” this means that when you do any editing to a track or add effects to a track, it will actually alter the original file waveform. When you load tracks into Audacity you can edit specific sections of a track’s waveform by highlighting the appropriate section. In comparison to other DAWs such as Pro Tools and Logic, Audacity has a very minimalist layout. It also has a very simple user interface, which I think is one of the reasons why it’s become so popular. It’s an open-source program with a variety of options for recording and editing audio. Audacity was first released in 2000 and has gone on to become the most popular piece of free recording studio software around.
