Overall Satisfaction with Audacity

I have used this program to record outgoing messages and ringtones for clients. I have also used it to increase the volume of certain digitally recorded cassette tapes. Sometimes a straight recorded outgoing message can have issues with volume and speed. Audacity makes it easy to adjust speed and volume. Not sure if there is another free program that can do this. Garage Band is more complicated. Also, when creating ringtones you can get very precise easily.

Pros

  • trimming
  • volume adjustments
  • increasing or decreasing speed of recording

Cons

  • clearer editing tools for novice
  • It will help me stand out, as being an individual.
  • I am not a typical computer user.
Because it works, but my not be as easy for an individual that has never used any kind of sound remastering program.
Easier to use than Garage Band. I have tried to use Garage Band for the same thing as I used Audacity and have had to give up. Not as easy. With the simple things that I have been able to accomplish, Audacity does it faster and better than anything I have tried. I have also used Pro Tools, however, that is more expensive.

Do you think Audacity delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Audacity's feature set?

Yes

Did Audacity live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Audacity go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Audacity again?

Yes

If you want to create a ringtone you can get very precise with the specific 30 second timing and you can see where the sound drops and raises, with a visual peaks and valleys of sound in a song. This is the best thing about this program.
