It’s been a rough week for Audacity.. The Scandal of it All!

Here we’ve got the FULL scoop, including updates - comments and responses from Audacity themselves- on what happened, what that means for you, and what you SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING ALL ALONG!

Welcome to the 1st Episode of the Gritty Birds Media Show, where we talk all things voice, technology and messaging. Hosted by owner of Gritty Birds Podcasting and The Podcasters Forum, Jeni Wren Stottrup.

In our trailer we noted that episode 1 would be covering the Samson Q2U, but the Audacity news was too big to start off with video. For the sake of time, I uploaded without edit so you could get THIS video faster.

Just don't upgrade to version 3. Or go offline before starting the program? There are already 2 forks available, Audacium and Tenacity. There's still Dark Audacity for windows only, or Ocenaudio

Just imagine that this information is used to locate you for having spoken badly about the wrong character, in the wrong country ... an offline program does not need the things they are doing.

To be honest the IP stuff is very annoying but it really isn't any different from any other company taking your IP. I do think it to be sketchy especially since it's open source but yeah I mean what can you do other than switch to a new DAW or stay on the downgraded version. At most your IP will probably be used just to target you with Ads. I think Audacity is really freaking good and simple which is why I think people should still use it. For now however I might stick to Dark Audacity. Also anything that's 3.0 and above collects personal data. It doesn't start at 3.2 .

I have Audacity version 3.0.2. I saw an update and it says 3.0.4. Should I go ahead and update or just leave it 3.0.2. ???

Hey Jen - So which update is the one that collects your data? 3.03? I currently have 3.0.
