What about using the last open source version of Audacity ? And keeping an eye on upcoming forks.


It's still open source. And what little telemetry there is can be disabled during compilation. 

Anybody with a tinfoil hat doesn't need to fork the source code; they can provide builds with a CMake flag toggled and presto chango, no telemetry.

Well that's good news. I guess linux distros will do that.  Others can provide different builds like chromium etc.

Usually doing waveedit things in Reaper is good enough for me. Otherwise I use Ocenaudio, because I need something easy to use when it comes to wave editing. But it's not Open Source, Tinfoil hatted Sourcecode readers.
