Audacity Wiki Home Page

Welcome to the user-editable wiki for Audacity ^® - a free, award-winning open source program for recording and editing sound. Audacity runs on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux and other operating systems.

This Audacity Wiki is for the current version of Audacity. It is strongly recommended that you use the current version in conjunction with the current Audacity Manual. If you are using an Audacity version prior to 2.0.0 then you will need to use the Legacy Wiki. You can get help for any 2.0.x version by asking on the Audacity Forum.
