What we couldn't confirm3
- Whether Audacity has instruments, virtual tracks or music-making features comparable to GarageBand, FL Studio or Ableton Live.
- Whether Audacity matches Adobe Audition's professional audio restoration and mixing features.
- Exact licenses of the third-party libraries in /au3/lib-src and the VST3-related code, beyond the README's note that they differ.
