What they are
Audacity
Audacity is a free, open-source desktop application for recording, editing, and processing audio on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Podcasters, musicians, and voice-over artists use it to cut recordings, apply effects, and export to common formats. It covers the fundamentals well, though its interface feels dated compared to modern DAWs and it lacks native multi-track timeline editing for complex productions.
Castmagic
