Never mind the sound, Audacity will soon have good looks
Audacity, the free app for audio recording and editing, is a venerable workhorse for the Mac, but — let’s face it — looks like an old nag.
A new version in the works not only updates the user interface, but also gives it fresh branding.
The new icon looks modern, while managing to maintain some originality. Audio apps with headphones in their icons are a dime a dozen, but this one stands out.
Still, there should be some kind of place of honour for the old icon. It is, in its own cheesy way, iconic. Yeah, I went there.
You can learn a lot more about version 4 in a video running almost an hour (!) at the Audacity website.
