AUDACITY ALTERNATIVE PORTABLE
Therefore, considerable rewriting of Audacity and its interface will be required before Audacity will work on portable music players like iPod, smartphones like iPhone, tablet computers like iPad or any of the Nexus devices running Android. Also the wxWidgets interface library we use only has limited support for mobile operating systems and small screen resolutions. This requires more processing power and disk space than is available on most mobile devices. However, there is new reason to hope for Audacity on iPad: it appears the technical obstacles cited by the Audacity team for the lack of iPad support are disappearing.Īs of this writing (April 2021), the Audacity FAQ includes the following:¹Ĭurrent versions of Audacity work internally with uncompressed audio to permit high quality editing with a wide range of effects. Also, some would not agree a proprietary product-especially one requiring payment to unlock all features-is actually an “equivalent” to open-source Audacity. I haven’t found another suitable alternative. The currently-accepted answer, WavePad, seems to be sporadically unavailable on the App Store (at least in some regions).
