On the past few weeks I have been "forced" to use Audacity to process audio on some video files.
Some of them, like converting from DTS to AC3 I had previously done with AvsP/Avisynth, and even before that with eac3to.
But Audacity has proven to be more universal and open all kind of files.
What I wonder is how it does compare in audio quality with those mentioned and other programs, particularly when video is not involved.
Right now I have to convert an ape file onto wav in order to burn a CD, and I wonder if Audacity is the best choice.
I'm not talking about being practical or easy to use, but mere audio quality, transparency. Usually, after conversion to wav, I pick from there and process things in Soundforge 8. Unfortunately Soundforge will not open ape files.
