Audacity
The world's most popular app to record and edit audio
Audacity is a free, open-source audio editing and recording application available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports multi-track editing, a wide range of import/export formats, and VST3/Nyquist plugin integration. An online companion platform, Audio.com, extends its capabilities with collaboration, versioned backups, and easy sharing.
Users download Audacity for their operating system, then record or import audio tracks and edit them using built-in tools and plugins, exporting to formats like MP3, WAV, or FLAC.
