About

Audacity is a desktop application for recording and editing audio. This Homebrew entry installs the Audacity 3 line, rather than the current Audacity 4 release promoted on the project homepage. Its package description identifies it as a multi-track audio editor and recorder.

  • Record and edit audio in a multi-track workspace.
  • Import, export, and convert audio in major formats, including WAV, MP3, FLAC, and Ogg.
  • Use the Spectrogram view to visualize frequencies and Vamp analyzers for audio analysis.
  • Extend audio work with third-party plugins; the project lists support for formats including VST3 and Nyquist.

On macOS, install this cask with brew install --cask audacity@3. Homebrew places Audacity.app in /Applications. The cask’s macOS download is architecture-specific. The project describes Audacity as free and open source; this entry is for the 3.x cask variant.
