It might become premium software at some point, so make the most of it while you can.Some artists dish out hundreds or even thousands of dollars to hire a sound engineer and recording studio to get professional-level audio. If you’re looking for an advanced audio editor, but Audacity looks overwhelming, Ocenaudio is the tool for you. For easier organization, you can also turn parts of the file into labelled ‘regions’, which can be edited individually or looped. If you want to make the same change to several parts of the file, you can make multiple selections and edit them together as a batch. Unfortunately there’s no way to stack filters then edit and rearrange them later, but then again Audacity doesn’t offer this as an option either.

Copying and pasting only takes a couple of seconds – even if the file is several hours long – and encoding and filtering happens in the background so it doesn’t disturb your work. Most free audio editors only let you cut and clip tracks, but Ocenaudio also lets you copy and paste sections of audio, and apply effects and filters. There’s also a spectrogram option, which shows you much more detail about audio properties. It’s worth noting that, unlike many free audio editors, Ocenaudio has properly labelled axes rather than an arbitrary indication of volume. Your currently open files are displayed in a list on the left, and the selected one will appear as a waveform on the left-hand side. Ocenaudio has a less intimidating interface than Audacity, but is still a hugely powerful audio editor.
