Because your inherent claim to be suitable for the job means that you're asking people to trust you with their work, and when you make bad design decisions and then offer bad fixes for them, you're betraying that trust. And if people (many people, over many years) point out an issue that makes it less than suitable, I do think you have some responsibility to address that - and not with a slapdash quick-fix that doesn't work. But if you're putting something out there for public use, you are in some sense making a claim that it's suitable for the purpose.

What they did instead was to add an "auto-recover" feature to the program - the problem being, it never friggin' works.Īre they obligated to fix this? Well, not legally, because yeah, free software.

I mean, really, I just needed to vent, which I have now done further effort will be in a more productive vein of attempting to recover all that work.īut just to take on the argument for the sake of it: yes, it's free, which does mean that I have no especial right to demand that it be better than it is (and I really should've learned my lesson last time.) At the same time, this (the incomprehensible means of audio storage making recovery a much greater ordeal than it would be, were the program to name its snippet files in any comprehensible manner) has been a known problem with the software for over a decade, and it has not been fixed in any meaningful sense, because it's a (very stupid) design choice on the part of the developers.
There are enough options to induce some choice paralysis, but consider carefully where you are actually 's a terrible feeling when you get comfortable in a non-standard bit of kit, only to find no-one uses it, and the file translators are utter shit (here I could name some parametric modelling software).Īnd no, I don't use Ableton.though I probably should. If you are going to invest time in learning to use a software package, select it carefully. It's the frustration that all the people who adopted Fusion 360 under personal licenses are currently feeling.or the people who were abandoned by Google with Sketchup.Īnd that's a good bit of life-learning, there. I imagine that's the kind of frustration you might find in Audacity, after you've invested the time to make it work for you. What I really hated was all the *extra* hours I spent learning the freeware, then troubleshooting it, reinstalling and *relearning* it through every release. I'm not saying Illustrator is all that.but it works, and doesn't dive bomb me when I'm up against a deadline. Hours and hours of bug reporting, usually to be told "oh we fixed that in the next beta," or "you're the only one, not important to us." And then in the next version or beta, same problem, same process.Īfter beating my head against that program (with all the fans telling me to stop complaining and revel in what I DO have) I woke up to realize I was doing enough business to actually buy some software. Multiple crashes and several instances of *poof* "oh sorry, you saved that? I ate it," left me feeling the bite of freeware. It has its own workflow, and some really cool and powerful tools.īut it was horribly unstable. I spent quite a lot of time learning to use Inkscape and similar GNU type software. Back in my "I'm too poor to buy software after going into hock for my computer" days, I needed a vector graphic program, as I was involved with a few startups that required graphic and layout support.

It's fine for what it is, but what it isn't is something that you should be using as a daily driver DAW.īut I *get* the way the OP feels. It's not Ableton/Logic/Protools, but for that low low price, it's a bargain and very functional.Īudacity has a bit of an ugly UI and can crash sometimes, but I've spent more hours doing foley work with it than I should admit. As mentioned upthread, Reaper is relatively light and effectively has an endless fully-functional demo (and very fair pricing if you decide that you want to do the decent thing). However, you'd have to be a fool not to use something better if you have options. It was less terrible doing it in Audacity than Ardour, as I was on a Linux box at the time. I've certainly done it, I arranged a zombie blues choir with a relatively consistent stereo image at one point- the end result was quite good, though it was a bit clunky as a process. Really sounds like you're trying to do surgery with kitchen utensils, tbh. People actually use Audacity as a multitrack recorder and arranger? I mean I guess you could, but I always got the impression that it was designed as more of a quick sample editor than a full-on recording suite.
