It has a straightforward interface and allows for fast navigation, so even a novice user can quickly cope with all its features. This open source beat maker is developed by experts on a voluntary basis and it constantly receives updates. Moreover, Audacity is a cross-platform program, meaning you can install it on any operating system. Aside from being completely free, it allows you to take advantage of numerous features and effects to efficiently record and edit music. The extensive editing possibilities will open you up to hours of track tweaking and polishing.Verdict: Many users consider Audacity to be one of the best free audio editing software currently available on the market. The interface is well structured and all your tracks, edits and functions are accessible. While there are some drawbacks to this application, we consider BPM Studio a solid application for anyone serious about mixing tracks. However this is very subjective and it’s quite possible that you will be happy with this collection of tracks and sounds. We also believe that with only 30 sounds and tracks pre-included in the program, BPM Studio doesn’t have a rich enough library of sounds. The audio presets are limited to 5 (lounge, DJ, party, office, radio) vague choices. The equalizer for example is very complete and even offers a graphic view, yet there is no numerical indication of the changes you are making. On the downside, while BPM Studio is studded with options for editing, mixing and writing, the interface often feels stuffy and overloaded and it can become difficult to read functions or drag counter switches. While this last option is the most enjoyable, it’s also the least precise of the three. You can manually switch from one track to the other, let the program do it automatically or set the track lines yourself. Use the wave editing view to edit more precisely.īPM Studio also diversifies your cross fading possibilities.

The sample player is nestled between the two track modules and features a sample editor to modify saved sounds. Over to the editing functions, BPM Studio lets you set up to 6 different cue points in an individual track. You can use the search function to quickly find tracks in library. The program keeps a record of the tracks you searched for and the play lists you created for quick access. Although the application only comes with 30 original sounds and tracks you can effortlessly add all the sound you need. Thankfully BPM Studio Pro integrates an explorer view of your music library, for quick dragging and dropping of the tracks you need.
