MuseGroup przy zakupie Audacity: "nie będzie enshittification"
MuseGroup chwilę potem: "ej nie chcesz naszej chmury? Also teraz logo to plemnik"
WHY DID THEY GENTRIFY THE AUDACITY LOGO

Not sticking around MuseGroup? I'm surprised.

Nevertheless, excited to try it out (and watch the video, of course)!

I got musegroup bullied into changing Audacity back once. I can and will do it again if necessary

I would've been perfectly fine with Audacity remaining a goodwill project that's passively maintained but MuseGroup had to come in and add telemetry and privacy concerns and are in the process of rewriting it to be more like their other products

at that point, why even buy Audacity

The current head of development for Audacity 4 just put out a video explaining this among other things in that the higher ups at MuseGroup hired an outside marketing company for the logo

Genuinely interesting video if you're someone who uses the software - even shit talks some of MG's other choices

I don't think the new logo is unsalvageable—I get the MuseGroup identity, and again, I like that it forms a lowercase 'a'—but it's TOO foreign to what it was. At the very least, returning to blue is a given. I also think we can work the waveform back in, as if it were the old logo shown at an angle.

Actually a sign of the end times that Audacity gives you ads for MuseGroup products and their cloud hosting platform on startup now. what the fuck

If you compare it with the MuseGroup (which Audacity is now a part of) logos as a set you can see the vision. Its just executed pretty poorly

if you defend musegroup and all the shit they tried, did and are STILL trying to do with audacity you need to shit yourself in front off everyone you ever have or will respect. use tenacity

trouble is, the userbase can't code, and coding means money. As an example, all the Audacity forks either froze or rebased to upstream, while UltimateGuitar / MuseGroup keeps executing their roadmap to make it into a more complete and more mainstream solution. In FOSS, code = control.

while i could take or leave the flat design, i think it looks FANTASTIC with the wordmark and in the context of the splash screen. it's such an improvement over the original logo and i think the negativity i'm seeing is simply an aversion to change from people who've used the app for years

Played around with the new release a bit. I have some concerns about how MuseGroup is handling certain services around the software. I'm going to repost some thoughts I wrote in Audacity's Discord server.

I suppose some sort of central authority which devs could submit their work to for certification would be too much bureaucracy? I was originally gonna suggest major FOSS players like Blender Foundation, MuseGroup, KDE, etc. open talk with each other regarding a standards alliance, but fair enough.

Hmm. Wikipedia says Audacity is owned by MuseGroup, headquartered in Cyprus. (As of 2024.) Were they reacquired this year?
