Version: 3.5.1
If you're running an Intel Mac Audacity 3.5.1 (Universal) hangs and won't complete verification.
I couldn't find a way around it but I tried the version of 3.5.1 specifically for Macs powered by Intel processors, and it worked fine.

"3.5.0 is incompatible with macOS 11 and earlier due to a bug on Apple's side. 3.5.1 will be made compatible again".

Best freeware audio editor for me. A bit old looking interface, but it can do basically everything: Cut audio file, remove noise, change pitch, re-encode, and record. I hear even pros use it - and I don't understand 80% of the offered features, but it's perfect for my use cases.
