I use the old 2.1.2 version that I got in 2015. Whatever they collect now I do not care. The old program works fine and I like it. It has all the functions I need. I use around 5% of it's functionality. Very useful for daily, regular sound editing.
Yeah, it didn't see a whole lot of development over the past 5-10 years. Some "under the hood" stuff, but not a ton of frontend stuff. The issues will arise if they make the improvements they are talking about. Press release is talking about development of a 3D spectrogram editable with haptic glove. It would be pretty wild to feel a spectrogram. Whether or not they will do it, or if it will actually be useful/adopted is another matter...
Was a great project until it got Aquired by MUSE, they updated their privacy policy to allow them to collect their user's data in plain text, do not use the main branch of Audacity if you don't like Spyware. Users of the Audacity community are making forks of it with the spyware removed from it.
Do not trust this app anymore, it was acquired by MUSE
FULL of spyware ever since Muse bought it.
The new update is swagged out, very good design refresh which is both pleasant to look at and easy to use :D
Sure, it Looks nice. It's a shame it is full of bugs and is missing a bunch of features that previous versions had.
amazing audio editing software
however ...
they need to revert the logo ASAP
FOSS, simple, intuitive - exactly what people want
