Now, I should point out here that I don’t actually use Audacity (or any audio editing software, as those who endure my YouTube videos will attest) regularly. It even comes a bunch of built-in themes, including a dark option to get you started. If you don’t dig the default look - which, in contrast with other editing apps, is light by default - you can change it. Reams of documentation, tutorials, and how to content are made on the assumption that you’re using Audacity as it came, with everything in the correct place, as per this screenshot: Audacity 2.3.3’s stock appearanceīut - and now we get to the meat in this content sandwich - you can choose to change the way Audacity looks. It can’t make major visual changes on a whim (and even if it did it’d probably still end up not looking great somewhere or to someone). This software is at the heart of audio editing workflows on multiple different operating systems and platforms. Constantly changing interfaces based on whatever the leading design whim of the day can lead to an endless churn of repetitive releases that favour form above function.Īnd while I’m rolling out the Fs familiarity is also deeply important too. Audacity is famed for its powerful, professional-grade feature set rather than its looks - and rightly so. Now don’t get me wrong utilitarian is not a bad thing. Audacity is an open source heavyweight but the look of the app is very …Let’s describe it as “utilitarian”.
