Audacity records and edits sounds with aplomb, with tons of new features constantly being added.

It’s weird, but I’ve seen it happen — your Mac’s sound balance drifts from the centre. This app stops that from happening.

Choose from 14 ambient sounds to mix and adjust volumes. Save as presets, customize colours.

Set individual volume levels per app, route apps to different output devices, and apply EQ from your menu bar. Real-time VU meters and persistent settings.

Easily tag multiple audio files without having to re-type the same information. Supported files include MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, Monkey’s Audio, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Opus, Speex, TrueAudio, WavPack, WMA/WMV, WAV and AIFF.

Create melodies and beats, synthesizing and mixing sounds, arranging samples and much more. The playback with a typing or MIDI keyboard. Bundled with ready-to-use content.

Features include: real-time preview of effects, cross-platform support, multi-selection for delicate editions, efficient editing of large files and fully featured spectrogram.

Record audio from the menu bar or a keyboard shortcut. You can optionally record at lossless quality. Previewing and trimming can be done in the Finder.

Set the priority of your audio devices from the menu bar. Handy if you don’t want your AirPods to change it to the default system internal microphone.

Three forks of Audacity are now united in Tenacity. Features include recording from audio devices (real or virtual), export and import of a wide range of audio formats, up to 32-bit float audio support, support for VST, LV2, and AU plugins, scripting, and more.

Decode, convert and play lossless audio files — can be split into tracks with cue sheet when decoding.
