Audacity is a free, easy-to-use and multilingual audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, AAC, MP4, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3 files, and more. Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, apply effects to your recordings, change the speed or pitch of a recording, and really much more. Audacity enables FLAC support. The program also has a built-in amplitude-envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode, and a frequency-analysis window for audio-analysis applications. Built-in effects include Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal, and it also supports VST plug-in effects. Audacity is without a doubt one of the best and easiest digital audio editors on the market and it will meet any requirement at 100% no matter if it is home or professional audio edition.You can use Audacity to:
• Record live audio.
• Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
• Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files.
• Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together.
• Change the speed or pitch of a recording.
• And more! See the complete list of features.
New features in Audacity 1.3:
* Contains dozens of new, exciting features. Very occasionally, these might need final polishing or not be retained in later versions.
* Occasionally, a feature might not work as it did before, or might be temporarily disabled.
* Some parts of the program are not yet documented or translated into different languages.
Changes in version 1.3.14 Beta:
Bug fixes for:
* Interface:
* Excessive delay occurred when typing into labels in long projects.
* Last digit of TimeText controls could not be manipulated in some formats.
* (Windows, OS X) Play and Record shortcuts did not work after clicking in Device Toolbar.
* (OS X, Linux) Crash occurred if Toolbars were reset during playback or recording.
* Imports and Exports:
* MP2 files were not importable without FFmpeg library or an import rule.
* Files that could only be imported using FFmpeg imported as noise with no error message if FFmpeg was not available.
* Files containing PCM audio but an incorrect extension (such as MP3) caused a freeze.
* Effects and Analysis:
* An empty command could be added to a Chain which then displayed a Nyquist error message when run.
* Plot Spectrum didn’t preserve signal level if multiple tracks were analyzed.
* Other bug fixes:
* Audacity has been provisionally fixed so that it can no longer create block files longer than the sample format or project format allows, and can no longer delete these, which led to data loss. Any overlong blocks found are preserved but “orphaned”, so will appear as silence.
* Orphan block files were wrongly reported if cutting or copying to the clipboard then reopening the project in the same session.
* Fixed some crashes and incorrect movement of audio when dragging tracks.
* (Windows) Data loss is now prevented when encountering a corrupted .aup file created in ANSI builds.
* (Linux) Restore building if USE_PORTMIXER is not defined.
Changes and Improvements:
* Normalize: Faster processing and improved interface. Left-right balance in unsplit stereo tracks is now preserved by default, with a checkbox option provided to process stereo channels independently.
* Spectrograms now allow window sizes up to 32768 and frequencies up to half the sample rate (the maximum possible).
* Mix and Render now preserves clip length by not rendering white space between time zero and first audio, and preserves audio before time zero. To retain silence before the audio starts, generate silence after render.
* Grouped some Edit Menu items into “Remove Audio” and “Clip Boundaries”.
* CleanSpeech Mode removed from Interface Preferences (it still runs if it was enabled in a previous Audacity but can only be turned off there).
* (OS X) Added support for AudioUnit MusicEffects (but no MIDI support).
* (Linux) Set the per-user files directory per the program name set in configure.
