Acoustica 6: Best professional free audio editor

Acon Digital's Acoustica 6 audio editing software has an attractive and well-organized user interface. Effects, recording tools, and plug-ins are divided into logical categories on the menu ribbon to simplify the post-processing process.

All of this is completely free, despite the fact that it is aimed at professional users and has all the tools to support it.

Acoustica is one of the most customizable audio editing software. In addition to the editing window, there is a file browser, effect chains, and waveform analyzer that you can add or remove as needed.
