Audacity 3.2 recently came out, and probably the biggest addition to the new version is real-time effects (or "real-time FX"). Now you can actually apply track effects non-destructively in Audacity! This is a feature that moves Audacity closer to being a full DAW (digital audio workstation) like Reaper, etc. It's a huge upgrade to Audacity, which I remind you is a FREE program.
This video will demonstrate what real-time FX are and how to use them. And will also show you how this is different from the previous versions of Audacity, where effects could only be applied destructively.
