Despite all this Audacity remains one of the most popular and easiest to use DAWs ever created.Īudacity is available for free on Windows, Mac, Linux and other OS’s from here: PreSonus Studio One 3 Prime However Audacity has some drawbacks such as it’s destructive editing, so effects applied are permanent, as well as it’s software being too basic for proper music recording hence it’s popularity with speech recording.
