Digital Audio Workstation of the Year

The Audio Authoring category has been narrowed in focus based on feedback. For the second year in a row we're sticking with DAW, but we're open to feedback moving forward.

Didn't see audacity mentioned anywhere (not here and not under audio media player). It's useful both as an editor and a player. (Maybe next year there's a need for an audio editor category.) I use audacity and several command line tools to do most of my audio work.

^ i think "workstation" goes a little beyond what audacity does, but yes, it's very, very useful, has been for a long time, is cross-platform, and deserves a place in some poll.

i've never used it as a player though.

While it's not a DAW, it's previously been included (and won) in categories where it was a good fit.

MilkyTracker. It's an extended module (.MOD, .XM) sequencer with sample editor, so it fits the requirements, right? Others prefer Open ModPlug Tracker because it can do quarter-tones or an even more detailed range of tones (forgot what that's called... multitones?) I don't use anything currently on the list, but I use MOD trackers.

Audacity.

Does anyone know yet if https://milkytracker.titandemo.org/ meets the requirements? (it's GPL, but I'm asking about music requirements)
Open Modplug Tracker ('Opensource' for Windows but works fine in WINE)
