Ocenaudio stands out immediately for its well-designed interface. Whether you're a beginner or an audio expert, there's plenty for you here. There are tools to reduce static, hiss or hum, adjust volume, change pitch without adjusting the tempo (or vice versa), remove vocals and more, as well as plugins to extend the program even further. Open a file, its waveform is displayed, and you can select sections, cut, copy or paste them, maybe export the selection as some other format.Īudacity's big plus is its wide range of effects.

The program has built-in support for a good range of files – WAV, OGG, MP3, FLAC – and an optional FFMPEG-based library extends this to just about every audio format that's ever existed (it can even import video soundtracks).īasic operations work much like other editors. reality: Everything you ever need to know about audioĪudacity is a hugely popular open source audio editor for Windows, OS X and Linux.
