Hi lads!
I'm working on Audacity and I'd like to know if it is popular among the audio and music industry? Plus I'd like to know how popular it is.
Hi lads!

nobody in industry uses free software. if the software is free, so's your time
Evan Ramirez
I thought it was abandonwear
Cameron Jones
It's pretty good for ripping vinyl.
I used to use it for light audio editing like 10 years ago, don't really have a use for it anymore.
It might not be used in industry, cause of the Adobe alternative, but that's just my guess.
Jaxson Johnson
Nobody uses Audacity. You'll need to pay for industry grade kit.
Andrew Morales
learn iZotope instead
Jack Smith
Many thanks, so Audacity is more a scholar thing because of its freeness? I thought it was develop by pros for pros.

No man, Audacity isn't an Audition but it certainly is a good and intuitive audio editor, it does have its use-cases like in small projects, or nothing with a gigantic budget.
I've been using it in side projects, cleaning the audio, making stuff generally sound nicer, being memetic, etc, for over 4 years now, and I must say that I've never been disappointed by Audacity itself. (Sometimes it locks up when stopping the audio under PulseAudio but I'd like to blame it on Poettering.) My friend also makes some slack mixing stuff with it, so...
Whatever you're doing on Audacity, keep up the good work. It works wonders for me.
James Cook
Audacity. Whenever I just need to do basic recording, editing and fucking around the levels I use it.
It's the Paint.NET of audio editors.
Lucas Richardson
make that gimp
Asher Torres
I only ever use it to record my computer directly. Everything else I do in Ableton Live and iZotope Ozone
Xavier Bell
Don't iZotope just makes shitty VST plugins?
Lincoln Jenkins

Deadmau5 uses it
Zachary Russell
I doubt that, Audacity isn't even a MIDI sequencer.
And Deadmau5 is a richfag, last time I saw a video of him he was editing live video effect on After Effect and running it realtime with a bunch of 1080Ti
Liam Sanders
yeah, but he isn't a musician
Asher Howard
I've seen and heard from him when he mentioned it in some live streaming
>yeah, but he isn't a musician
Doesn't matter. He is still an autistic pro in what he does
Charles Parker
No, you can draw circles in Paint.NET
Nicholas Jones
no professional uses it unless it's for something basic like ripping stereo audio
pros tend to use things like wavelab
Gavin Lopez
It's nice for quick things.
No replacement for proprietary DAW software tough.
Keep it up though, free alternatives are always good to have.
Kayden Hall
I work at a relatively small company in Sweden and I use Audacity for mixing all our SFX, I love it
Luis Morales
Familiarize yourself with ableton. Has good adoption on the professinal side of the music/audio industry, and almost universal adoption on the production side.
If you want to go the more "professional" route, pro tools is the obvious choice.
Learn how to eq, compress and use reverb. Those 3 are the pillars of mixing. Everything after is to achieve perfection or near perfection for whatever type of music is being mixed.
Good luck. Stay focused, its not hard

Sup Forums dumps on gimp because they haven't spent two seconds googling. Evidence that everyone here pretends to use linux but actually uses windows.
Benjamin Rodriguez
Nah. Depends on which of their products you get, of course, but they have different stuff. It is, however, mostly utilized for mixing and mastering.
I guess RX can be considered a collection of VST plugins, but they aren't really shit. They're amazing. I've used RX so many times to seamlessly get rid of gunk in recordings and other programs don't quite offer as much luxury by comparison.

Any examples?
