Audacity v3.4 released, Nov 2

We are excited to announce Audacity 3.4, which adds the following features:

• Beats and measures grid: You can now easily align your audio clips to the musical tempo and rhythm of your project. The grid shows you the subdivisions of each measure depending on your zoom level, and you can snap your clips to the nearest beat.
• Time stretching: You can now change the duration of your audio clips without affecting their pitch non-destructively. Audacity 3.4 uses a new time stretching algorithm specifically made for music, which outperforms many of the commercially available options.
• New exporter: You now have all options for exporting in a single window, including advanced options for 5.1 exporting. The exporter now features the native file browser, giving you access to all your bookmarked folders.

Audacity: Free, Open-Source Audio Editing Software

Audacity is a free, easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. Edit, mix, and enhance your audio tracks with the power of Audacity. Download now.

The Audacity audio software program now includes new OpenVINO AI effects for users on Windows. The new features include Noise Suppression and Transcription useful for podcasts, and Music Generation, Music Style Remix, and Music Separation, useful for music.

OpenVINO (Open Visual Inference and Neural network Optimization) is a toolkit that Intel released that allows deep learning models to run locally on Intel hardware. Each of these new features that leverage OpenVINO use AI that runs directly on your hardware.

Audacity for Windows gets OpenVINO AI tools from Intel

Intel's OpenVINO tools are now available to use in Audacity for Windows users. Those who want to use them will need to download them from Intel's GitHub page. Linux and macOS users may compile them.

Audacity 3.6​

Major changes​

• Master effects
  Audacity now features master effects. Master effects are effects which apply to the entire project at once. More information can be found at Using master effects & realtime effects.
• New compressor and limiter
  A new compressor and limiter has been added, replacing the previous versions. A gain reduction history has been added to these effects when they're used as a realtime effect.
  Factory Presets suitable for a wide range of use cases for these effects have been provided by Vladislav Isaev and Marek Iwaszkiewicz, available via the Presets & Settings button.
• New themes
  Audacity now features new and improved dark and light themes. You can switch between themes via Preferences -> Interface. The theme previously used still is around as the Classic theme, and themes even older than that can be optionally installed as custom themes from here.
  Updated instructions on creating custom themes can be found here.
• Increased performance
  Audacity is now quite a bit snappier than before, especially when working on larger projects and on larger screens.
