Pros

“What I like is it does allow you to pinpoint exactly where you want to edit certain things without having to constantly stop and play to find where you want to edit.”

Carly G.

Curriculum designer and trainer

“The audio editing tools are incredible and produce high quality, professional recordings.”

Anne H.

Senior Learning Designer and Developer

“The amount of tools available for free to help any creator edit quality audio with so much ease of use”

Jeremy H.

Host and Owner

Pros

“The texts feature is also a bit of square looking, is match easier to generate a video of the text with a transparent background and lay it over.”

Xavier C.

Creator

“For those of us who depend on this software professionally and purchase upgrades annually, stability must be the top priority.”

Ron M.

President

“You have more power than the built in Windows editor, but it's not quite at the professional level movie studios.”

Zoe P.

Engineer

Cons

“There is SOME help documentation, but I found that I rely more on 3rd party tutorials than within the existing help documentation (which is sometimes out of date) or Audacity-focused forums.”

Shaun D.

Producer

“The vocal isolation tools are limited, and there is no included media library.”

Peter R.

Program Director

“It has all the bells and whistles that you see in other programs that cost a lot of money.”

James G.

Associate Pastor

Cons

“The FXs are not always great, they are hard to master, you usually find yourself looking online on how to make some sort of effect on Vegas, not all are very intuitive, also the sizing features are rough, especially when you are using different sizes of images.”

Xavier C.

Creator

“With Version 23, I encountered multiple bugs and instability issues that made it unreliable for professional work.”

Ron M.

President

“As a long-time user, I never expected to be considering alternative platforms, but when stability becomes uncertain, continuing to rely on it feels risky.”
