• I needed to do spectral analysis of an audio file, but audacity didn't support hidpi. Ocenaudio does, and overall it is capable and pleasing to use. Guest • Nov 2019 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Ocenaudio has all the editing capabilities of Audacity but wrapped in a much more streamlined, modern and intuitive interface. It's not open-source, but it's free, doesn't have ads, is also cross-platform and runs fast at native speed. Ugotsta • Feb 2020 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• As opposed to Audacity's mess of a ui this is quite nice. Has all the effects I needed. Looks good even in a KDE environment. Cknight70 • Mar 2018 • 6 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It's free and multiplatform. Also it's easy to use and has a lot of features. EliasNS • Jan 2018 • 8 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Easy to use and stable. Auto noise reduction is an excellent feature not available in Audacity. But an equally missed feature is "Truncate Silence" that is found in Audacity. srinath1234 • May 2018 • 3 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Perfect for MAC users! Audacity is a WIN program adapted for mac, but is still to "win 98 style". I had troubles with the mic in audacity. Oceanaudio is very easy to use, the scrolling with the magic mouse works perfectly, it saves in so many audio formats (without putting the extension at the end, like in audacity). yesdino • Feb 2018 • 1 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree   Agree

Radium

Radium is a music editor with a new type of interface. - Compared to the normal sequencer interface editing is quicker and more musical data fits on the screen. - Compared to trackers, note positions and effects are edited graphically, which should be quicker, provide more vertical space and give a better musically overview. However, despite its unusual appearance, it's a design goal for Radium to be straightforward to use, and easy to learn.
