I need an audio program compatible with a mac os 10.13.6 like audacity
my church was gifted a mac os 10.13.6 and i am trying to make use of it.
I would love to continue to use the audacity program but i need to know how to get a version that will work on this computer. I would use the audacity then make canva videos. I am open to use new to me programs that work on mac. Any help is appreciated
 
Older versions of Audacity?

Oops, same link brian posted above -- posting anyway.

Also see THIS page:

It says the current version of Audacity will work on 10.13.

What year is the iMac?

Every Mac ships with an app called Garage Band.

Not quite true. You have to download it. And if you buy an old Mac that cannot run the current version of GB, and if you haven't ever downloaded an older version of GB before (when it was current), Apple won't necessarily share a version with you that will run on your old hardware/OS. That's partly how they enforce obsolescence.

That's why sometimes it's necessary to ... (cough)... "go hunting"...
Seek... and [often times] one shall "find".
