It may be a pain to use two bits of recording software to get one job done, but if you’ve got an audio interface that you bought specifically because it plays nice with Audactiy, such as a Scarlett 2i2, it’s a must to figure out how to make Audacity work.To find out what’s new, visit the releases feed on Github. You can give it a try by downloading it here. I’ve used it on occasion and found it to be a good freebie tool. Speaking of free, my favorite free Audacity alternative is OceanAudio. It’s not free, though, so be aware there’s a cost to use it. It also supports recording on a mobile device, too, which can be very useful for some VO talent. It’s super simple to use, the interface is great, and it has a robust feature set and plugin support. It was almost built for VO from the ground up. One of my favorite alternatives to Audacity is Twisted Wave. wav file, then jumping back into Audacity to edit and finish up the project. As a result, talent have been using other software to record their takes, exporting a high quality. Troublesome and inconvenient to be sure, but I’ve been told it works (I record on an older machine running a previous OS).Īdjusting their workflow while they wait for this bug to be workedĪlthough recording with Audacity isn’t possible in a Catalina environment, you can still edit, play back and export audio files to your heart’s content. It involves running some code every time you start up the software. Luckily, there is a workaround! The folks behind Audacity have addressed this issue, sort of. Since it can’t determine the source, it can’t record the sound. The issue seems to be that Audacity can’t talk to the Mac and figure out where the audio signal is coming from. That’s right, if you want to use Audacity to record VO on a new Mac or an older one that’s been upgraded to Catalina, you’re out of luck.
But like any bit of software, it’s not perfect.Ĭase in point: currently it’s not possible to record with Audacity on a Mac running OS 10.15 Catalina. It’s easy to use, there are a ton of online tutorials for it, and best of all, it’s free.
Readers of my books know that I use Audacity to record VO.
