Audacity, a popular open-source audio editing software, does not inherently lose quality. However, certain actions performed in Audacity, like copying and pasting large files, using the noise removal feature, or compressing or normalizing the volume, can lead to some degradation in the audio’s original quality. It is always a good practice to work with the highest quality files possible and make multiple copies if you are concerned about preserving the original audio.
