Audacity reviews

Ongelofelijke gratis audio edit software

Pluspunten:

- Mogelijkheden om podcast geluid echt mooi en helder te krijgen - Gebruiksgemak - Gratis

Minpunten:

Nog weinig kunnen vinden, zou fijn zijn als je gemakkelijker het bleeden van geluid tussen 2 microfoons zou kunnen verhelpen

My Podcast Got Noticed

Opmerkingen: From the minute I started using Audacity, I was able to turn my podcast into an entertaining program that earned me an audience faster than I expected. I was able to put my ideas into sound only using Audacity. I swear by it.

Pluspunten:

The Help Center and countless available YouTube troubleshooting videos made it easy for me to learn Audacity in just one sitting. So I was able to get editing right away.

Minpunten:

There is nothing to dislike about this software. It's unbelievable.

Great for basic audio editing and filtering

Opmerkingen: I started using this when I lost my access to Adobe Creative Suite, and rapidly realized it was actually better suited to my needs. I wouldn't use it for mixing music, but it's perfectly adequate for taking a voice recording and prepping it for a podcast or voice-over. It's quick and easy, and it has a decent range of built-in tools and filters.

Pluspunten:

It's basic, but it does all you need for simple tasks.

Minpunten:

Navigation within a clip can be tricky sometimes.

Amazing free audio recording app for dialogue

Opmerkingen: I wouldn't be without it. Excellent.
You can view the soundwave as more spaced out or tighter together.
There’s an icon to click to see the entire recording in one go. This is useful when you’re looking to see if there’s any particular section that had a louder volume than the rest. You might then choose to locate it, select it and choose amplify and put in a negative number to reduce the volume.
When you’re going through you may want to take out tiny aspects of background noise, or maybe there’s a very audible out breath on your part to take out. View the soundwave as expanded so that you can select a small section to delete.
I like the shortcuts.
Press spacebar to play from the last place you clicked on the soundwave.
Press x to get the cursor to locate at the current location in the recording.
Control R to repeat the last effect.
R to record.
You can have multiple tracks.
You can have stereo tracks or mono.

Pluspunten:

Free audio editing. I make self-help recordings for myself, and potentially for others in the future.

Minpunten:

You can't import MP4s. I import those into Total Recorder, change to an MP3 and then import into Audacity. Something minor. I would like a keyboard shortcut when I place a label (temporary) on the soundwave to toggle back to editing the track. I haven't managed to find one yet! I am assuming the following would be the same with any audio recording app, but there is a difficulty which occurs when recording speech audio. The same would apply if you were recording an instrument. If you’re recording on more than one occasion, even in the same room with the same mic, the recordings don’t necessarily sound the same. There may be differences in temperature, you might have curtains open or closed etc, you may be further away from the mic. Therefore, even with the flexibility of audacity, it is advisable to try to record something through from start to finish and not rely on having to come back and for example insert a sentence.

Audacity is good for Audio editors and beginners.

Opmerkingen: I loved Audacity when I first started it. Now I am using a different program, but Audacity is a great start for beginners.

Pluspunten:

I liked it because it is easy and it is free.

Minpunten:

I didn't like the fact that it doesn't have a good manual for mixing and mastering for beginners.

Great Free Open Source Software

Opmerkingen: It has been wonderful. They keep up with the updates to operating systems and the functionality never suffers.

Pluspunten:

Open source audio editing software that works great! The fact that it is open source and free for use is beneficial. Also the flexibility of importing different audio files is great.

Minpunten:

Nothing, the program works great. It has all the bells and whistles that you see in other programs that cost a lot of money. For general audio editing this program is great.

Best program for editing audio for beginners

Opmerkingen: Very positive. Nothing but good reviews.

Pluspunten:

Free. This the by far my favourite feature. It's a robust recording software for no cost!

Minpunten:

There is nothing I don't like about it. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Deserves way more recognition!

Opmerkingen: Audacity is one of the most career-spanning software available. It's used by many professional studios, why wouldn't they? It does exactly what it advertises at a more than fair price.Wether I scratch some ideas in Ableton Live or multitrack in Reaper, I always keep Audacity nearby and opened ready to make quick edits and export them back into DAW. I also use it to record very long audio clips, edit them using the waveform view and tadah! Work done.

Pluspunten:

Audacity is the Swiss knife of audio editing. It has anything and everything you could need to chop, cut, copy, stutter or effect audio quickly and easily. It needs no manual (it has one anyway) since it's very intuitive and even a hobbyist will find some way to use it in a matter of minutes. It even supports VSTs, so bring your virtual effects library and enjoy!

Minpunten:

There's nothing I would like Audacity to do that it doesn't right now. It's not meant to mix, multitrack or anything like that (DAWs exists for a reason) it's just good at what it does. Maybe the GUI could be more modern? But who does not like a dose of vintage!

Easy audio editor to start learning

Pluspunten:

It is easy to use. I saw a 5 minutes video and started using it for some audio cleanup.

Minpunten:

I'm not sure if it integrates to adobe, and I ended up moving to adobe audacity. I liked the UI/UX better.

Audacity delivers. For FREE this is a top notch product.

Opmerkingen: I used Audacity personally when I was just beginning and it certainly 'wet my appetite' for the creative avenues digital music recording allows. Because it's FREE there's no loss to take a dive into the features. And it certainly delivers for the price. I have also used it in a classroom setting and it's also great place to start with students.

Pluspunten:

No way around it. This is a great FREE app. That's a great place to start your audio recording experience.

Minpunten:

I don't like to criticize FREE apps...cause they are FREE. But...my experience it lags on the MIDI features. So if you plan to do live MIDI recordings of your parts, you will need to go back and do some MIDI bumping of your events cause it will struggle with proper placement.

Free and affective audio editing tool.

Opmerkingen: It has been very useful for audio editing.

Pluspunten:

The interface is very intuitive and it is completely free to use.

Minpunten:

It doesn’t come with built-in virtual instruments.

Audacity - The Answer to online radio producers who are not inherently sound engineers!

Opmerkingen: I have enjoyed my experience and have taught my entire staff complement how to use it and continue using all the options so they can learn and teach each other new tricks.

Pluspunten:

I love that I dont have to be a sound engineer to understand sound waves and how to create high quality sound and audio clips. Its simple to teach DJ's how to use Audacity to create their own jingles, voice overs and clean up their recordings for Podcasts. Their import facility and ability to add and move audio clips to where its most suitable within the file, is beyond reproach and I couldn't have done some of the radio interviews without it. Especially when clients make errors during recordings.

Minpunten:

Very little but if I have to find fault its when you have to install the ff library and that's a challenge as it never works first time. It's quite a mission to get it installed. So I usually tell my DJs to convert their files to mp3 online and then import into Audacity. It doesn't seem to lose quality.

I Love Audacity

Opmerkingen: I have seen many people use this free service and I had to try it out for myself. It failed to disappoint. I love this service and will not stop using it.

Pluspunten:

I really like that it is a completely free service. It has no paywall at all. Also, the software is really easy to read and doesn't shove tons of things at you as soon as you open it.

Minpunten:

I have absolutely no complaints about this great software.

Does the Job

Pluspunten:

Audacity is cheap (free) and has many features.

Minpunten:

Without a proper introduction, the software can be daunting.

audace

Opmerkingen: it's a tool that allows me to edit audio and export it in several audio formats such as wav

Pluspunten:

it's a simple sound mixing tool, for adding sound effects to your audio

Minpunten:

it's easy to use despite its not-so-appealing design!

The perfect tool for sound management

Opmerkingen: I edited many tracks with this tools and I also used it to record some music.Maybe it's a bit slow to fully master, but Audacity is surely a high quality program with many options to choose from. And don't forget that it's free to use, too.

Pluspunten:

Audacity has tons of featuers, including recording your audio files, generating sounds, tracks editor with many options to choose from and even the support for program extensions.

Minpunten:

Audacity's GUI sometimes feels old, it does not have a darkmode (even if this is not a proble for many) and with all the things you can click on in the menus you often need some minutes to find the option you want.

First time using Audacity, great with a learning curve!

Pluspunten:

It has many functions for audio editing. There's a lot of good videos to help beginners learn how to use Audacity. Has high quality editing functions.

Minpunten:

There's a large learning curve especially if you've never done audio editing.

So much easier than other programs I've used

Opmerkingen: Great! I wish I had found this software long ago because it would have saved me so much time and headaches.

Pluspunten:

I want to start by saying that I am using this to record and edit voiceover recordings and I am very much a beginner. I had been using Garage Band and this is so much easier to use! Editing tracks is so much more intuitive and I would have saved myself so much time if I had been using this software all along.

Minpunten:

The interface definitely feels a little dated but for a free program, I can't complain. I've had a few hiccups with audio channels disappearing but I fully admit that this could be user error.

Pro Tool with out the cost

Opmerkingen: Overall I have been very satisfied and continue to use the program both on windows and apple platforms.

Pluspunten:

Audacity is a free open source pro tool which provides all of the functionality that is present in a paid pro tool. The user friendly gui and the availability of audio effects and functions make Audacity the best tool for audio manipulation and editing.

Minpunten:

The learning curve to learn the basics are a bit steep. The tool could use some of the modern day ux design but for all its limitations, the tool does its job very well which is editing audio.

Portable audio editing software

Pluspunten:

Audacity has a portable version that can be ran even from external drives. This means the user can run the software even without installing it. It has a wide range of audio editing features. It is also available on many operating systems.

Minpunten:

It's support for MIDI devices is really limited as compared to other similar softwares.

Love Audacity!

Opmerkingen: I have thoroughly enjoyed it and have remained loyal for the last 5+ years!

Pluspunten:

I love that a novice like me can go in and utilize Audacity for basic needs. I am not a music pro by any means, just the director of a dance and theatre program where we often need to cut or splice music for our programs. Occasionally, I will need to layer in other sounds, but even that is getting a little fancy for me! :)

Minpunten:

Since this program can be utilized by the pros, sometimes there are items and tools that can feel overwhelming, but they also allow the noobs an opportunity to utilize this to "feel" like a pro.

Audacity is a free and open source audio recording and editing software.

Opmerkingen: It's a really easy and intuitive software to use, and it's also free.

Pluspunten:

Audacity is a free and open source audio recording and editing software, available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is a very useful and popular tool for audio editing, especially in the field of music production and podcast creation.

Minpunten:

Although Audacity does not offer virtual instrument functionality, it is still a very useful tool for general audio editing and mixing.

Basic audio recorder

Opmerkingen: With Audacity you can record both sounds from a microphone and also from the computer. The aim is to edit audio tracks from other sources and create audio files.

Pluspunten:

I used Audacity a long time ago to record songs from the pc. The audio capture is excellent and you can create audio files to take for example on your phone as ringtones…

Minpunten:

It’s too simple and it doesn’t have many functions and tools. They should develop them.

This is the best audio editing tool.

Pluspunten:

The cool thing about Audacity is that there is nothing that this tool can't do. I've used this tool to edit over 1,000 audio files and I've never had an issue. If I want to do something but lack the knowledge, I can just go on to youtube and see a simple way of executing what I want. The interface is simple and you will have fun using this software. It literally does everything that you'd want.

Minpunten:

There are no flaws to this software. No complaints.

Better options for editing out there

Pluspunten:

I don’t really feel like there is much that I like about audacity other then the pricing isn’t too bad

Minpunten:

I feel like it’s not very user friendly or intuitive. Compared to other editing softwares it’s just not up to par.
