Audacity is a free, open-source audio recorder and editor for Windows, macOS and Linux — not a full DAW. This guide takes a beginner from the download to an exported file in one sitting: getting Audacity 4 through MuseHub, the first launch, the window, a first sound and a first recording, the first cuts, a first effect, cleanup, and save versus export, including sharing to audio.com.
MuseSounds are sample libraries made for MuseScore Studio. They play your score with recordings of real musicians and follow the dynamics, slurs and articulations you have already written. MuseHub has 72 MuseSounds libraries, and 12 of them are free.
MuseHub is a free app and store for music software — apps, plugins, MuseSounds libraries, loops, courses — from Muse Group, the company behind Audacity and MuseScore Studio. What is in it, what is free, how installing works and who makes the tools.
Install MuseHub, install the free MuseSounds libraries, restart MuseScore Studio and assign sounds in the Mixer — with the notation the engine responds to, the mistakes that keep a score sounding like MIDI, and how the paid libraries and MuseSounds Pro fit in.
Install plugins through MuseHub, validate them in Audacity, and use them as realtime effects on a track or the master, or as one-off destructive edits — with the formats Audacity 4 loads, the mistakes that make a plugin ‘not work’, and free plugins to start with.
