Did they ever fix that issue from a while back where they started collecting personal data on users?

- There was a Lemmy post with a video about how things have changed, which I even commented on, but I can't find anymore.
  
  What I remember was that yes they did address most of the concerns. There were some issues still (unrelated to data collection iirc), and there's one other fork that's being maintained if you don't want that
  
  Edit: I think the was the video, I don't want to watch it again but I'll link my TLDW if I find it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QfmDn1IaDmY

- That is the real question. Would like to recommend the program to people again.

  Tenacity is a fork designed to address those concerns, and it is mostly beyond fork growing pains at this point

The oss community forked it into ' tenacity' after audacity went into spyware mode

- IKR. Why are we even covering news about audacity releases anymore?

  Dunno, but I kind of feel this is an opener to promote commercial software on Linux, since the Muse team can suck it.
  
  You've got:
  
  Presonus Studio One (beta)
  
  Harrison Mixbus 32C
  
  Bitwig Studio
  
  All of them have premium prices, but not a single one of them freemium, or always-online, meaning you get what you pay for and what you pay for is high quality software.
  
  Presonus if you need a pro tracker, or even the chance at mixing Atmos on Linux (though the hardware needs to be supported OS-side of things).
  
  Mixbus 32C is cool, because it's EQ's and compressors are analogue modelled after their classic console. They got that real nice vintage sound.
  
  Bitwig is basically a mixer/sequencer DAW, meant for electronic music and live performances.
  
  Now if only Ableton Live could be ported to Linux :( pretty please?

I'm still using 2.3.3 as 3.3.3 won't save project files on Google Drive. As a radio station, that's kinda important for creating sponsor messages etc.

Will check out Tenacity.

- Couldn't you just setup a local folder with syncing to drive enabled, and then save to that folder?
