    For me this is too little too late. Muse group have show their colours and I no longer want to use any of their products

      Also, this feels too much like crocodile tears. As in they’re only apologizing as damage control because people were choosing to fork the project or not use it entirely, not because they actually feel bad.

        Yeah and that is why I can no longer trust them

      I feel you, but Audacity is still the top free audio editor. Perhaps a fork is in order?

        Tenacity is a cool Audacity fork

        Hopefully development will settle on one soon.

          We (as in the FLOSS community) did this with LibreOffice and MariaDB, we can do it again!

        I heard manly of Audacium, but way too much forks run wild RW. Don’t know how many of them will be updated with time

    After I read the deportation threats I was speechless. Did not think it could get any worse than their previous 2-3 stumbles.

    It’s audio editing software for god sakes…

      Couldn’t agree more. They’ve shown their true colours more than once now - but the deportation thing was deplorable - and I will be switching to a fork very soon.

      But, my personal switching from Audacity to something else is only meaningful to me. I think Muse Group should be shunned to the point where they can only support Ultimate Guitar.

    This tells you what a pile of steaming shit corporations really are when they get so much power over individuals and individuals lack protection against this stuff.

    "they have been threatening an anti-CCP Chinese software developer over his life with threats such as “deporting you to China”

    This is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Haven’t tried it myself, but audiomass.co looks good.
