I’m currently using a found version of Adobe Audition and I love it but I want to find a FOSS alternative. I have tried Audacity in the past but it is/was missing a lot of the features I require. Anyone have a good recommendation?

    Ardour is open-source, but I couldn’t get to work with it.

    I highly recommend Reaper from all the proprietary DAWs out there.

    My SO has to work with Audition professionaly, and it is a pain in the ass. What are you doing with it, that you are able to find love for it?

      The last time I used it it wasn’t easy to have two audio inputs via usb-c (I know I need a proper system but there is no budget yet!)

        So you’re not looking for an audio editor, but rather live recording software that supports multiple simultaneous inputs? The more specific your request for help is, the better suggestions you’ll get.

    If Audacity is not enough for you, you might want to try DAWs instead. Maybe try LMMS or Ardour (plugins need to be installed separately) for those should provide all the features you may be looking for

        I’m not sure about LMMS as I never got to try it, but I’ve had it strongly recommended a few times so I figured it would work here too. The only issue I have with Ardour is that all plugins need to be installed separately (assuming OP hasn’t installed them already). I also came across Stargate recently, and it seemed just fine after looking around. I can’t say if it would be enough for OP, but nothing wrong with more options :)

          I recently purchased a copy of Ardour, and I have noticed that, but I have found most basic plugins can be found for free.

          nothing wrong with more options :)

          Options are key.
