For mac OS:ĭownload Audacity for mac OS X/macOS 10.7 to 10.14 (Audacity does not support 10.15, Catalina, or the most recent update)Īfter downloading these files, you should be able to open the “Audacity” file and the program should start right away. For Windows:ĭownload Audacity for Windows 10/8/7/Vista (XP support has been dropped)Īfter downloading these files, you should be able to open the “Audacity” file and the program should start right away. That said, if you're an experienced hand at macOS and want to try the Terminal trick (keeping in mind it reportedly does not work for everyone), or if you're willing to try out possibly unstable pre-release software, then here are links to the Audacity pages that reference those options (again, I'M NOT RECOMMENDING EITHER of these!).All relevant links for downloading the program can be found here. I DO NOT RECOMMEND either of these two options—I'm just letting you know that they exist. Re the last two options—be VERY cautious with Terminal workarounds, and be even more cautious with alpha (early pre-release) software, which is liable to be very unstable on your system. (though it's not clear if that's in place yet) Try Audacity 2.4 Alpha, a pre-release version that is supposed to include Catalina compatibility Try the Terminal workaround described on the Audacity Forum If possible, create a partition and install Mojave on it so you can open Audacity Borrow a Mac with an older OS to render. wav files, that may be worth a try before anything else (unless you've already tried it and it didn't work). First off, in the discussion of a Terminal workaround (see below) they seem to imply that Audacity should open and run under Catalina, but you won't be able to record into it—if all you need to do is open it and bounce down tracks to. That leaves you with a short list of options. Unfortunately as far as I know the only way to pull standard (.wav) files out of an Audacity project is to bounce them down in Audacity—there's apparently no way to put them together from the.
