Audio editors
Open-source audio editors and workstations for Mac to record, cut, mix and process audio with effects and multitrack editing.
An audio editor records sound and lets you cut, arrange, mix and process it with effects. Simpler editors work on waveforms directly, while digital audio workstations add multitrack mixing, MIDI, instruments and plug-ins.
When comparing the apps below, check which audio formats and plug-in standards they support, whether they handle multitrack sessions, and how they work with your audio interface. A waveform editor is often enough for podcasts and voice; music production usually calls for a workstation.
