This requires more processing power and disk space than is available on most mobile devices. The current Audacity FAQ answers, “Will there be a version of Audacity for iPod, iPad or other smartphones or tablet computers?” with:Ĭurrent versions of Audacity work internally with > uncompressed > audio to permit high quality editing with a wide range of effects.

Both Apple and Adobe have promised to release some of their full-featured desktop creative apps for the new iPads, but it isn’t clear if their audio editors will be among the offerings (and of course, those are not open source, either). It is unfortunate that there is no open-source alternative to Audacity on the Apple App Store, and the “freemium” alternatives have core features gated by paywalls and/or arbitrary limits on size/number of projects. I’m guessing this was a typo, but you can’t buy iPad apps at an Apple Store (except insofar as one can use an Apple Store’s free WiFi to reach the App Store, or purchase a gift card redeemable on the App Store! ).

I suggest that you look in Apple Store for an alternative.
