web dev here who also plays guitar. i’ve been using audacity for recording and musescore for notation but wondering what else is out there.

anyone using anything cool for practice, transcription, or just messing around with sound?

    I’d recommend the fork Tenacity over Audacity since the latter has been hijacked by Muse Group.

      define “hijacked”. what we’ve gotten so far is optional telemetry, a well-needed ui cleanup, and a potential new logo. and it’s still open source, with a written guarantee that it will not change.

        They updated the privacy policy and contributor license agreement with no regard for the existing GPL license, or the 20 years of contributor work before them. They snuck in telemetry that uses Googles services. Since then they’ve turned the website into a massive advertisement for Muse’s cloud BS and subscription services, seriously go compare the site today with one from say 2021. It’s a marked downgrade.

        They’ve also added a bunch of Muse cloud bloat to the application.

        Muse Group is nasty, and I’ll always encourage people to use a fork instead.
