Audacity is a cross-platform multitrack audio editor. It allows you to record sounds directly or to import Ogg, WAV, AIFF, AU, IRCAM, or MP3 files. It features a few simple effects, all of the editing features you should need, and unlimited undo.
Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings.
You can use Audacity to:
- Record live audio.
- Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
- Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files.
- Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together.
- Change the speed or pitch of a recording.
- And more!
Recording
Audacity can record live audio through a microphone or mixer, or digitize recordings from cassette tapes, vinyl records, or minidiscs. With some sound cards, it can also capture streaming audio.
- Record from microphone, line input, or other sources.
- Dub over existing tracks to create multi-track recordings.
- Record up to 16 channels at once (requires multi-channel hardware).
- Level meters can monitor volume levels before, during, and after recording.
Import and Export
Import sound files, edit them, and combine them with other files or new recordings. Export your recordings in several common file formats.
– Import and export WAV, AIFF, AU, and Ogg Vorbis files.
– Import MPEG audio (including MP2 and MP3 files) with libmad.
– Export MP3s with the optional LAME encoder library.
– Create WAV or AIFF files suitable for burning to CD.
– Import and export all file formats supported by libsndfile.
– Open raw (headerless) audio files using the “Import Raw” command.
Note: Audacity does not currently support WMA, AAC, or most other proprietary or restricted file formats.
Editing
- Easy editing with Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete.
– Use unlimited Undo (and Redo) to go back any number of steps.
– Very fast editing of large files.
– Edit and mix an unlimited number of tracks.
– Use the Drawing tool to alter individual sample points.
– Fade the volume up or down smoothly with the Envelope tool.
Effects
– Change the pitch without altering the tempo, or vice-versa.
– Remove static, hiss, hum, or other constant background noises.
– Alter frequencies with Equalization, FFT Filter, and Bass Boost effects.
– Adjust volumes with Compressor, Amplify, and Normalize effects.
– Other built-in effects include:
—Echo
—Phaser
—Wahwah
—Reverse
Sound Quality
– Record and edit 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit (floating point) samples.
– Record at up to 96 kHz.
– Sample rates and formats are converted using high-quality resampling and dithering.
– Mix tracks with different sample rates or formats, and Audacity will convert them automatically in realtime.
Plug-Ins
– Add new effects with LADSPA plug-ins.
– Audacity includes some sample plug-ins by Steve Harris.
– Load VST plug-ins for Windows and Mac, with the optional VST Enabler.
– Write new effects with the built-in Nyquist programming language.
Analysis
– Spectrogram mode for visualizing frequencies.
– “Plot Spectrum” command for detailed frequency analysis
Bug fixes
- Interface
- Fixed playback speed and synchronization problems when dragging clips or tracks between tracks having different sample rates.
- (Windows) Removed a crash risk where shortcuts could be used to record or import in one project while importing or exporting in another.
- Imports and Exports
- Fixed crashes when changing the sample format of read-directly WAV or AIFF files using the Track Drop-Down Menu.
- Fixed a crash importing MP3 files that had duplicate metadata tags (this is a bug in current libsndfile which has been patched in Audacity; MP3 files mislabeled as WAV which have duplicate tags will still crash Audacity on Linux if Audacity has been compiled against an affected version of system libsndfile).
- Fixed an issue where excessively high or corrupted sample values in the audio could corrupt exports from the start of the problem for the rest of the file, and could corrupt the rest of the project.
- (Linux) Fixed Audacity could not be compiled against FFmpeg 0.7.x and 0.8.x.
- Effects and Analysis
- Fixed crash on launch when using “Ambisonic Decoders (PC)” VST plug-ins and other plug-ins that enable additional floating point exceptions.
- Fixed Plot Spectrum background could be transparent on some machines.
- Bug fixes for Click Track, High Pass, Low Pass and Vocal Remover.
- Chirp, Tone and Silence generators now remember their settings.
Changes and Improvements
- New Interface preference to show the track name in the display (this is off by default).
- Longer default Playback preference for effects preview and preview before cut.
- Restored use of Page Up and Page Down to scroll horizontally.

Bug Fixes
- Labels now accept lower case “z”.
- (Windows Vista/7) Pressing Stop after recording could cause a crash.
- (Mac OS X) Fixed shortcut keys activating when typing in file open or save windows.
- (Mac OS X) Audacity 2.0.0 fully supports Unicode, which fixes an issue where Audacity could not work with folders having non-English characters in their name.
- (Linux) Playing existing tracks while recording in mono could cause recordings to be distorted or low-pitched.
New features
- Many effects significantly improved, especially Equalization, Noise Removal and Normalize. Vocal Remover now included plus GVerb on Windows and Mac. VAMP analysis plug-ins now supported.
- Improved label tracks with Sync-Lock Tracks feature in the Tracks Menu.
