Frequently on forums someone without any real knowledge or first hand expereience says that
for serious audio editing you need expensive DAW programs.
First of all, Audacity is always completely free and open source when
downloaded from https://audacityteam.org. It’s free of malware and
surprise bundleware.
Audacity has a manic following in every
type of audio editing and recording.These people fill thousands of web
pages with help, tutorials and hints. there are hundreds if plugins
available to meet whatever level of audio perfection you need. These
people want to share, and provide a lot more specialized help then you
will get with a top money DAW.Audacity works with uncompressed
audio to allow this wide range of effects. Now, This requires more
processing power and disk space than is available on most mobile
devices, hence I use it on a Win 10 PC. I didn’t care for using it on
Apple big Sur, but then again, I hate dislike Mac for the most part, and
traded in my Mac for a watch and a credit that I still haven't used.
