Hello everyone! It is with great pleasure that we share this news with you:
Our download partner, FossHub, has published a wonderful blog post announcing that feat to the world.
It makes us very proud to be their #1 downloaded open source app, and we know that Audacity has been downloaded more than 100 million times since it’s birthday 20 years ago!
Without further ado, let me link to the announcement on the FossHub Blog!
Cheers!
The Audacity Team
I am writing this in tears, heartbroken. Vaughan Johnson, who was an Audacity Team member since 2002, passed away in December 26th, 2018.
We just found out. He made significant contributions to Audacity, coded one of our first web pages, and was a central Team member. He was an extremely intelligent person, fun and complex like all geniuses seem to be.
I am not able to write something better now, so please let me share his obituary page. Maybe some of you would like to plant a tree in his name.
But I suggest a donation to the Jazz Foundation.
Thank you for reading.
We will always remember you.
Sincerely,
Arturo.
Happy Birthday! Audacity turns 20 today with the first released version, Audacity 0.8, having been released on the 28th of May, 2000. In these 20 years many operating systems have come and gone, and we’re still here and running.
Audacity is used by a community of artists, scientists, music and sound lovers, podcasters, narrators. Audacity has even made appearances in a number of TV series and movies. But, especially, Audacity is used and supported by you.
So, feel free to share the news in social media, drop by our official facebook page and leave us a message. Sound is welcome. Visualizations as well.
PS: Yes we know the cake only has 13 candles We’ll say some of the candles count double, and that lets us use a public domain image rather than a commercial one.
