Ääniediti

Ääniediti is a cross-platform, open-source digital audio editor developed as a community project in Finland. It is designed to provide an accessible tool for recording, editing, and mixing audio without heavy hardware requirements or professional training. It targets podcasters, educators, and hobbyists seeking a straightforward workflow.

Core features include waveform-based editing, a multi-track timeline, non-destructive editing, and support for common formats such as WAV, MP3, and FLAC. Built-in effects cover equalization, compression, noise reduction, and reverb, with basic mastering tools. The project supports extensibility through plugins and scripting to accommodate user-developed effects.

The interface emphasizes clarity and keyboard efficiency, with customizable workspaces. Ääniediti is designed for lightweight performance and consistent behavior across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Projects use a portable format to facilitate collaboration.

Development is community-driven, with public version control, issue trackers, and multilingual documentation. The software is released under an open-source license and maintained by volunteers worldwide.

Ääniediti is commonly used in education and independent audio production, and it is cited in discussions about accessible, lightweight audio editors within the broader digital-audio landscape.
