Mac Version Incomplete Unfunctional
Klodfone- Pros
- Audacity is a great audio editor on my Windows 8.1 machine. Strong and fast run on top of the line HP Envy. Good Features.
- Cons
- On the Mac it is an empty suit. A skeleton with no parts and useless. This POS does not deserve to share the name with the windows version. Fix it so it runs just like the Win version. No wonder the Mac users are upset. Completely useless. Nothing works
- Summary
- Save your energy. Save yourselves. Unless you are a masochist, you should avoid downloading or using the Mac version until they fix it. The build should be made just like the PC. No ifs ands or butts.
Just awful
Divertenta- Pros
- It's free and can be deleted.
- Cons
- Horrible interface is complete unintuitive and user-unfriendly. Took ages just to work out how to recognise the USB input from my amp, then took ages to work out how to set up a recording and then took forever to try and split the tracks. I gave up trying to split up the tracks after an hour just trying to get songs 1 and 2 sorted... Just horrendous software. Pay for VinylStudio and save yourself lots of pain.
- Summary
- This is probably suited to very technical users. For someone who wants to quickly and easily convert vinyl to a Mac, it was virtually impossible to use.
Good for basic audio editing
r-cnet- Pros
- free lost of features that (so far) work
- Cons
- user interface is a little awkward (not as intuitive as Wave Pad), but it is free software
- Summary
- unless you are a high-end audio editor, this should meet your needs.
Awesome and Free
ScotlandSaint- Pros
- Pro features
- Cons
- Would like to rip audio from a video file
- Summary
excellent freeware
JoeKess- Pros
- powerful multi-track audio editor
- Cons
- no right click options or context sensitive help
- Summary
Useful program, but latest 2.04 update is crash city
vdubreeze2- Pros
- Useful app for quick audio tweaking and conversions
- Cons
- Too many things went wrong in this update. Drag to icon doesn't open file, then crashes shortly. Same plugins in all my folders as before, so it's not on my end. MBP 10.7.5.
- Summary
- Wait until 2.05 or 06, or get previous version.
Mac version sucks.
wordsmythe99- Pros
- None. The product would open, but *none* of the features appeared to be active.
- Cons
- Does not appear to even have all the files needed to run. Not at all intuitive as it initially downloads. I'll try the Windows version, which apparently has all the pieces in one package.
- Summary
it's free & easy to use
James / Hans Kunz- Pros
- works on macintosh, easy to get going & do a recording, edits & export
- Cons
- don't know
- Summary
Excellent Program!
ScotlandSaint- Pros
- Many options, it's free, easy to use, very good quality program.
- Cons
- Interface is dated, no option to export a file as an "m4r."
- Summary
- Download this! It's terrific!
Audacity is a great program.
PianoPlayer55- Pros
- All positive.
- Cons
- There's a learning curve, yes, but it is a very rewarding one.
- Summary
- Audacity is worth any amount of time you can make available to work with it. It will reward you amply.
