1. Audacity
It is a powerful multi-track recording software with good ease of use. Audacity allows you to record live, import audio from the desktop, convert old tape/recorder audio, edit multiple formats, cut/copy/splice/mix, perform audio enhancement, change speed/pitch and other operations.
2. Ardor
Ardor is to musicians, engineers, soundtrack editors, and composers what Audacity is to podcasters - it is the best work assistant. Not only can you record multi-channel input audio, you can also cut, move, stretch, copy, paste, delete, align, crop, fade in and out, rename, snapshot, zoom, transpose, quantize, drag, and drop operations. .
3. Traverso
Although Traverso draws more from Audacity, it is based on the same underlying system as Ardor: Jack. So while its user interface is much easier to use than Ardor's, the basics of connecting devices are much more complex than Audacity's.
