Audacity is a free, easy-to-use and multilingual audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. Audacity also has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode, and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications.

Key Features:

Audacity can record live audio through a microphone or mixer, or digitize recordings from other media.

Import, edit and combine sound files. Export your recordings in many different file formats, including multiple files at once.

Supports 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit. The sampling rate and format are converted using high-quality resampling and dithering.

Support LADSPA, LV2, Nyquist, VST and Audio Unit effect plug-ins. Nyquist effects can be easily modified in a text editor-or you can even write your own plug-ins.

Use cut, copy, paste and delete to edit easily. You can also undo (and redo) infinitely continuously in a session to return to any number of steps.

Real-time preview of LADSPA, LV2, VST and Audio Unit (macOS) effects. The plug-in manager handles plug-in installation and adding/removing effects and generators from the menu.

You can use the keyboard to fully manipulate tracks and selections. Lots of keyboard shortcuts.

Spectrogram view mode for visualization and frequency selection. Draw the spectrum window for detailed frequency analysis.

Version 2.0.6

Improvements

Interface:

Redesigned, searchable Keyboard Preferences with Tree, Name and Key views.
Edit Menu: "Cut" and "Delete" are now in the top level of the menu.
Transport Menu now includes "Play/Stop" and "Play/Stop and Set Cursor" (use Keyboard Preferences to create shortcuts for "Play" and "Stop").
Tracks Menu now includes "Mix and Render to New Track".
Track Drop-Down Menu now has Move Track To Top and Move Track To Bottom.
New right-click menu choice "Delete Label" to remove single labels.
"Snap To" now offers choice of snap to the "closest" or "prior" position. Note: the previous "Snap To On" keyboard shortcut will no longer work.
"Snap To" settings are now independent for each project.

Effects:

Truncate Silence: redesigned with simpler option "Truncate Detected Silence" to shorten to the specified length without compressing silence.
VST effects: New "Settings" dialog lets you specify buffer size (for faster processing) and enable buffer delay compensation (to prevent inserted silence). Compensation may cause a crash in a few plug-ins.
VST effects now support standard FXP presets.
LV2 effects are now supported on all platforms (textual interface only).
Import or export using FFmpeg now requires FFmpeg 1.2 or later (or libav 0.8 or later). For recommended downloads of recent FFmpeg please visit http://manual.Audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown.
New Tamil translation (largely complete).
(Windows) FLAC exports can now exceed 2 GB in size.
(OS X) Easier Audacity installation using the DMG: drag the Audacity folder to the /Applications shortcut.
(Linux) Self-compiled builds of Audacity now search for system LADSPA effects in /usr/lib/ladspa.
