I’m looking for an alternative to Audacity due to the shenanigans going on with it. I need simple audio cutting and the option to make voices unrecognizable (distorted). I tried Tenacity but it had extreme stability issues. Any other good options around?
I use tenacity on both windows and Linux. I’ve never had a problem with it.
Reaper has really good audio editing features. It’s not freeware, but it’s pretty inexpensive (less than $100). You can try it for free. It’s a full-fledged DAW so the interface might seem overwhelming at first, but it’s really very easy to use. And there are lots of video tutorials on YouTube.
I love it and highly recommend.
Reaper also lets you keep evaluating it if you’re unsure that you want to buy it.
An app called Ardour was listed as an open source alternative to Audacity in this HTG article from 2022. I’ve no experience with it, but from a quick internet search it looks like the options are very few.
