    It costs $100 to get the features that comes with Audacity for free, and the UI is a mess.

    It’s not free I’m sure it’s great but please don’t put it at the top of the list generating the idea it’s the most similar only to find out after installing it’s not free and worse there’s no free version. It’s all or nothing Thank you for this website though! It’s exactly what I needed!
