About ocenaudio
ocenaudio is a free audio editor for Windows, macOS and Linux. It focuses on quick editing and analysis of audio files: effects such as EQ, gain and filtering can be previewed in real time while adjusting controls, VST plugins are supported, and multi-selection lets you edit or process several parts of a file at once. It handles very long files efficiently and includes a full spectrogram view. It is built on the Ocen Framework and Qt, with the same features and interface on each platform, and is offered in portable and installer builds.
Good for
Podcasters, teachers, researchers and anyone who needs a simple, no-cost editor for trimming, cleaning up and analysing single audio files.
Watch out for
It is a single-file editor rather than a multitrack DAW. The current macOS build needs macOS 14.4 or later, with a legacy build for 10.14+. Licence terms and who develops it were not stated on the pages read.
Pricing notes
As of October 2026 the download page offers all versions for free; no paid edition is listed.
