Hi. Just joined this forum. I’ve been using Audacity since 2008, and have watched its development to the latest version (3.3.3). It’s taken me some acclimation, and it took me a while to realize that Leveler (one of my main uses for Audacity) had been absorbed into a set of effects. I like the version 3’s live preview of effects. I’m glad that drag/drop into the timeline is back.
The understandable tendency of some users is to want Audacity to become more like a DAW, but I suppose that, since Audacity is open-source, someone could add DAW-like features (MIDI control of virtual instruments, for example) to their version of it. I’m glad that I can use Audacity strictly for editing. However, I have also created sound-art projects and quasi-musical pieces by manipulating audio solely with the Audacity’s “legacy” effects, and multi-tracking and mixing them right in Audacity.
