Which app do you prefer for authoring and editing audio?

Hmm. I find it hard to compare Audacity - which is more for post-production and effects, for any sound file - with the likes of Rosegarden and especially Hydrogen. Like so many of these polls, it's a case of different tools for different jobs. But I recognise the impossibility of having a separate poll for every single use case!

And so I'm voting for Audacity.

If LAME, an MP3 encoder, is in the list, then you should include OGG and FLAC, too.

Audacity for me.

I am voting for Audacity because it has similar features to those in the Windows program Soundforge.

Odd, I voted for it because it has identical features to the windows program Audacity!

And HI from Randburg!

Audactiy. It does everything that Protools does and is open source. I like to record at studios that use Audacity instead of Protools too.

Why is LAME in the list? That's kinda like listing ffmpeg isn't it?

SecretCode hi from a wet and rainy Boksburg. I also loaded Audacity in Windows. It looks very similar to the Linux version.
Works more or less the same.

Cross-platform software is the thing, no doubt about it.

I have the audacity to vote!

Couldn't agree more.
This is why I'm not voting in this category.

Audacity for me. It was a marvellous tool when I took on the onerous task of ripping my considerable collection of vinyl.

xev · 01-19-2012, 07:55 AM

Audacity sure for me.

Audacity is always on my list of first things to install on a new installation.

Seriously? Ardour is the way to go. But, if audacity was non-destructive I would totally go for it.
