## What it is
|
|
|
|
Audacity is an open-source audio editor and recorder. You record from a microphone or open existing audio files, then cut, copy, mix and arrange them on multiple tracks. Built-in effects handle noise reduction, normalizing, compression and equalization, and it exports to formats such as WAV, MP3, FLAC and Ogg.
|
|
|
|
## Why it's here
|
|
|
|
- **Clean up recordings.** Remove background noise, trim mistakes and even out levels in a voice recording.
|
|
- **Podcasts and voiceovers.** Multitrack editing is enough for interviews and narration.
|
|
|
|
## On CoreDesktop
|
|
|
|
CoreDesktop installs Audacity as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid. `update` keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
