I like that Audacity is easy to use, free, and open-source, and that I can record with it easily. I can use it on almost any computer, even on low-resource devices, and it works on Linux and Windows. I value its versatility, allowing the import of VST2 and VST3 plugins and incorporating new features with each update. I can also easily create workflows that I previously did with Pro Tools and other tools, without having to pay for expensive licenses. Initially, I struggled with the shortcuts, but after learning them, it became easier, and the non-destructive audio features made Audacity a viable alternative for me.

Initially, I struggled to adapt to the different shortcuts, although after learning them, it became easier. The spectral view could be improved significantly: for cleaning audio, it limits me to raising or lowering the volume or removing parts, and I would like to be able to select regions more precisely instead of using a large rectangle that covers a section of frequencies. There were also occasions when some plugins were not as updated and failed, although I could implement them to a certain degree. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
