Best FOSS program for podcasting editing? (programming.dev)

I'm currently using a found version of Adobe Audition and I love it but I want to find a FOSS alternative. I have tried Audacity in the past but it is/was missing a lot of the features I require. Anyone have a good recommendation?

If Audacity is not enough for you, you might want to try DAWs instead. Maybe try LMMS or Ardour (plugins need to be installed separately) for those should provide all the features you may be looking for

I don't believe LMMS can do audio tracks, so Ardour would be the one to go with.

I'm not sure about LMMS as I never got to try it, but I've had it strongly recommended a few times so I figured it would work here too. The only issue I have with Ardour is that all plugins need to be installed separately (assuming OP hasn't installed them already). I also came across Stargate recently, and it seemed just fine after looking around. I can't say if it would be enough for OP, but nothing wrong with more options :)

I recently purchased a copy of Ardour, and I have noticed that, but I have found most basic plugins can be found for free.

Options are key.

That's true. In fact, Arch linux even has a handy package (pro-audio) that installs every plugin you'll need at once. Still, some people might prefer to have plugins built-in or it might be too much hassle for them to look for every plugin from outside (it certainly was for me when I was starting out)
