Title: Audacity facing scrutiny after new privacy policy allows data collection, makes app 13+
Post by: Redaktion on July 06, 2021, 17:30:10

Reaper by Cockos is a much better, a good alternative to paid apps.

No, you have it wrong. Reaper is a commercial application. You were expected to give them money at some point.
