Substitute For Audacity

[astyle]

ardour is not a replacement for audacity. For me Audacity works as the SoundForge of opensource world and it's so good.
For now I'm just 'pkg install audacity'

I hope maintainer just elect some fork and keep it going. Audacity depends upon some unmaintained ports (sord lv2 sratom suil lilv)

Long life to audacity or whatever name/fork it gets

Depends on how you compile audio/audacity. I tried to compile mine with audio/lash, even though it was a broken port. Hunted down lash.py from a Slackware repo, which was a Python27 file, and I was good to go

Nice.
I just installed from pkg 2021Q3. Didn't use it too much since but it's working.
It splashes
'An assertion failed!
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/audio/audacity/work/audacity-minsrc-3.0.2/src/widgets/FileConfig.cpp(98): assert "mDirty == false" failed in ~FileConfig().'

In start but was able to use it.

Stargate is a new one that's not in ports. Also, audio/zrythm.

As of 2025 there is an audacity fork called tenacity. I think it can be compiled on FreeBSD. Would be nice a FreeBSD package.
