  1. A very neat relyable piece of FOSS Software. by Qbertino · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The audacity crew as been working away at their audio tool for more than a decade now and it's a cornerstone of all things audio I do. A very nice and neat piece of software. Works as advertised, does what it should and is offered up in a neat set of cross-plattform packages. Love it.

      It is a great piece of software. They don't ruin it with stupid UI changes, either. It is straight-forward, reliable, fast, and yet very powerful.

  2. This is how software should be by lucaiaco · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I agree: no flat design, no minimalist interface, no fancy icons or flashy features. It does exactly what it has to do, and nothing more. Its UI is so clear that I don't think I ever had to check the documentation on how to use it (and I am no expert in the field). One of the best free source software out there.

    What in the world changed in Sierra that caused it to break Audacity? This is more a reflection on the poor quality of Sierra
