Free and open source under GPLv3. The vendor promotes paid plugins through MuseHub, but…

Windows, Command line Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Lossless cutting and splitting with no re-encoding
  • Very small download, about 374 KB
  • Multi-track recording and editing with a long list of built-in effects
  • Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux with the same project format
  • Windows only, with Linux use through Wine
  • Works with encoded MP3 and AAC, not a general multitrack editor
  • Audacity 4 changed the interface, so most existing tutorials show the old one
  • It is a destructive editor at heart; it is not a multi-track DAW for music production
