But starting with version 2.4.2 of Audacity, we now have a reset function built inside the program. We has two choices – either manually remove all the changes or delete all the configuration files. Earlier Audacity users did not have many official options for resetting the program configuration. But later on we do not require those settings anymore and want to use Audacity as usual.

Sometimes when we are working with Audacity, we make some changes to suit an audio recording session. Why we need to reset Audacity configuration? It provides import and export functions for all the common audio file formats such as MP3, WAV, OGG and even MIDI. You can also edit an existing audio file and add effects to it using Audacity. It is a great program for digitizing your old audio tapes and vinyls. Using this small and easy-to-use program, we can record audio stream coming from a microphone, a mixer application, or line-in.

Audacity is a popular open-source audio recording application that works in all the well-known platforms such as Windows, Linux and macOS.
