Audacity Beta is a tool for capturing and editing sound on the users' computer. It is great for those who want to mix music or make podcasts because it allows for users to work with multiple audio tracks at once. It is as easy as dragging and dropping audio tracks into place and then cutting and pasting them from there. Just like with video editing software everything appears in a timeline, where users can easily make changes without too much hassle. Users can link their personal microphone directly into the Audacity Beta software and begin editing right away.

It is simple to use, especially compared to other audio editing systems, but it does require a bit of knowledge about computers to be able to get the full use out of it. Editing audio can be difficult and even though Audacity Beta makes it much more approachable it can still be a bit overwhelming.

Audacity Beta is a test version of the software Audacity. Because it is a test version it does have some bugs that will need to be worked out.

Audacity Beta is like having a whole arsenal of advanced sound recording tools right at your fingertips. It is great for those who are just starting with editing audio or those who want to use it recreationally.

In this beta product, there have been some complaints concerning how often the software seems to crash. There have also been some complaints it can cause distortion when using certain kinds of microphones. It is helpful to keep this in mind before downloading Audacity in its beta form.

Audacity Beta is currently offered for Windows and Apple operating systems. It is offered in twenty-six different languages. It has a relatively small download size and doesn't take a lot of time to download. It is completely free.
