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.
Suno
Suno is an AI music generation tool that creates complete songs, including vocals, instrumentation, and lyrics, from a short text prompt. It serves content creators, podcasters, game developers, and anyone who needs original music without hiring composers or navigating licensing. The output quality is impressive for background and mood music, though Suno retains some rights over generations on lower-tier plans, which is worth reading carefully before commercial use.
