In April 2021, it was announced that Muse Group (owners of MuseScore and Ultimate Guitar) would acquire the Audacity trademark and continue to develop the application, which remains free and open source. Most of its changes were eventually incorporated into the mainline version and the fork ended.
Over the years, additional volunteer contributors emerged, including James Crook who started the fork DarkAudacity to experiment with a new look and other UX changes. Mazzoni eventually left CMU to pursue software development and in particular development of Audacity, with Dannenberg remaining at CMU and continuing development of Nyquist, a scripting language which Audacity uses for some effects. On May 28, 2000, Audacity was released as Audacity 0.8 to the public. The project was started in the fall of 1999 by Dominic Mazzoni and Roger Dannenberg at Carnegie Mellon University, initially under the name CMU Visual Audio. Executables with VST3 support are licensed GPL-3-only to maintain license compatibility.
It was previously served from Google Code and SourceForge, where it was downloaded over 200 million times. Īs of December 6, 2022, Audacity is the most popular download at FossHub, with over 114.2 million downloads since March 2015. GPL v2 or Later, CC-BY-3.0 (documentation) Īudacity is a free and open-source digital audio editor and recording application software, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and other Unix-like operating systems.
