Audacity is the world's most popular audio editing and recording app

Audacity® is a free, easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. The interface is translated into many languages.

You can use Audacity to:

  • Record live audio
  • Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs
  • Edit WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP2, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis sound files
  • Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together
  • Change the speed or pitch of a recording
  • Apply a wide range of other effects to audio recordings

This snap also includes OpenVINO™ AI plugins for music separation, noise suppression, music generation and continuation, transcription, and super resolution. These plugins can only be run on Intel hardware (CPU, GPU, and NPU) and a user must be in the render Unix group in order to run on Intel accelerators (GPU and NPU). To ease the installation of the AI models, the snap also includes a model management command that can be run using:

sudo audacity.fetch-models

For Intel NPU support, make sure to also run the following prior to running Audacity:

sudo snap install intel-npu-driver sudo snap connect audacity:npu-libs intel-npu-driver:npu-libs
