Overall Satisfaction with Audacity

Audacity does the work. I use it to edit and produce my podcast. Audacity has the features need to efficiently produce my podcast. The UI is clear and easy to use. I am able to import the files easily and export in the file type needed for the podcast. Audacity processing is fast and efficient; and the program is stable and reliable.

Pros

  • displays tracks for ease of editing and ordering
  • imports all necessary file times
  • efficiently processes files for export

Cons

  • easier to grab and re-order tracks, the grab area is small
  • I am constantly zooming in and out to grab a small piece of track; make it easier to grab an audio clip
  • a button to move the focus to the beginning of the tracks
  • I don't have to pay for a good audio editing program.
Audacity is for audio prodcasts only and not for video podcasts. Audacity does not have a transcript development feature. Audacity can not edit using the transcript feature that does not exist. I use another program to develop a transcript and edit using that transcript. Then I move the file into Audacity for final processing.

Would you buy Audacity again?

Yes

Audacity is great for editing and producing my monthly podcast. It is easy to add tracks, edit them and move clips around. Also, Audacity is efficient at exporting files for podcast production. It can not handle video production and does not have a transcript development feature. If you're producing an audio podcast, do it.
