I’m currently using a found version of Adobe Audition and I love it but I want to find a FOSS alternative. I have tried Audacity in the past but it is/was missing a lot of the features I require. Anyone have a good recommendation?

  • For multi-track recording, you’ll want a DAW. The best free DAWs, IMO, are Reaper and Cakewalk. Personally, I prefer Cakewalk for several reasons but mainly because I don’t like Reaper’s UI. Although, Reaper has a portable version which is super nice.

    I still advice you to run the final mix through Audacity, though, since I find its processors superior for mastering than Reaper’s or Cakewalk’s built-in ones.

    • Thank you for the advice. I hadn’t heard of cakewalk so I’ll try that out as well as Ardour. Good idea about still passing it through Audacity. I also saw on a thread about auphonic… But I think I don’t want the quality to be decided by an “AI”
