Community fork of Audacity, maintained on Codeberg, for trimming and cleaning the sample-based SFX this catalog points at. Covers the unglamorous work a game project actually needs: batch resampling a downloaded pack to a consistent rate, trimming silence off attack transients, normalizing loudness across a footstep set, and looping music beds. Chosen over upstream Audacity because the fork was created specifically to strip the telemetry and updated terms that upstream added.

Set Project Rate before importing a mixed-rate pack, or exports inherit whichever file was loaded first
Truncate Silence plus Normalize is the standard pass for a downloaded footstep or impact set
Export as 16-bit PCM WAV for engine-side SFX and OGG Vorbis for music beds; Godot streams OGG but decodes WAV to memory
No non-destructive automation lanes, so keep the original downloads and treat the AUP3 project as scratch
The GPL covers the application; recordings and edits you make carry whatever license the source audio had, which for CC-BY sources means the attribution obligation survives your edit
Licence corrected from bare GPL-2.0 to GPL-2.0-or-later on 2026-09-23. LICENSE.txt names "Version 2" without choosing between "only" and "or later"; the project's README makes the election explicitly. Codeberg blocks scripted requests, so both were read in a browser. Code under lib-src may carry other GPL-compatible licences
