So Audacity is fine to use (again)?
The version you want to use is Tenacity. It seems good, but I haven't done extensive reading on it.
Yes tenacity is a community fork that happened during the hubbub with the musescore takeover and telemetry additions and doesn't have any of it.
It also has a couple of quality-of-life additions and a few new features but nothing specifically different as of yet. Mostly, it's a good community-lead fork that has some momentum behind it - since it also unifies the developers behind 2-3 protest forks that happened at the same time and I think that's generally (if not a safe bet) a good thing to support.
I hope they will fork MuseScore too. I really don't like the direction in which that company is going...
Is it actually actively being developed? I tried to jump on board when I heard the drama, but it sounded like the Tenacity team was still trying to get their shit together.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
