There are more than 50 alternatives to WaveShop for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad and iPhone. The best alternative is Audacity, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like WaveShop are FL Studio, Tenacity, Ocenaudio and Ardour.

WaveShop alternatives are mainly Audio Editors but may also be Audio Recorders or Digital Audio Workstations. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of WaveShop.
