DAWs are simply editing softwares dedicated to working with audio and sound files. However, for those of us hailing from a video-centric world, don’t let the term intimidate you. If there are new developments, there so will be “follow-up” news.What are digital audio workstations (DAWs)?įor anyone coming from the world of sound (or music) recording, a DAW (digital audio workstation) should be a familiar term. It is up to the end user’s sense of value to decide how to judge the news. “gHacks Tech News” is a news site about web technology.ã€€There was a change (acquisition) in the popular “Audacity”, so they wrote an “article” about the information as far as gHacks could grasp.Įnd users tend to make comments based on speculation, but a responsible “news site” will provide factual information. However, it is true that MuseGroup has acquired and taken over the company. In short, the current situation is that “the situation is unknown except to the parties concerned”. > Audacity, being an open source program, can be forked if the project takes wrong turns along the road. > While it is too early to tell where the acquisition will take Audacity There is no press release yet either, and details are a bit murky at the time of writing, the exact terms of the acquisition are not known, for example. > Audacity is listed as one of two projects on the company’s website, but the official Audacity website makes no mention of the change. It’s clearly mentioned in an article by gHacks. No mention of this in this article and that is probably the primary question, is it not?

I’m keeping an eye on Audacity by MuseGroup. The Russians have done a great job with AIMP, MPC-BE and RadioSure.Īs long as they are willing to invest in human resources and capital, we can expect great things from them. Ultimate Guitar founder Eugeny Naidenov is the first chairman of the Muse Group, and he is Russian, but the past track record is impeccable, and if it is an open source project, there seems to be no “points of concern”. While some people may look for freeware in an “open source project,” many see the advantage in having “The source code is clear and no remote code or other malware can be planted”.
