What's New

Version 2.1.0

Improvements

Effects:

  • LADSPA, VST and Audio Unit (OS X) effects now support real-time preview, save/load of user presets and saving effect settings across sessions. Note: Real-time preview does not yet support latency compensation.
  • VST effects now support import/export of FXB preset banks.
  • Shell VST effects that host multiple plugins are now supported.
  • All Effect Menu items (built-in or plugin) can now be used in a Chain.
  • Items in the Effect, Generate or Analyze Menus can be sorted or grouped by name, publisher or class of effect.
  • Noise Removal is improved and renamed to "Noise Reduction".
  • Change Speed has new time controls for current and new length. You can now enter the speed change as a multiplier e.g. "2" is twice as fast.
  • New "Crossfade Tracks" effect can be used for crossfading two tracks. This replaces Cross Fade In and Cross Fade Out.
  • Nyquist Prompt and most shipped Nyquist effects now have Preview button.

Interface:

  • Redesigned Meter Toolbars: The default shows separate Record and Playback Meters, half-height so they can be wider while docked, in gradient style.
  • A frequency selection can now be made (and spectral edit effects applied to those frequencies) when in a spectrogram view. You can also create or adjust frequency selections in a new "Spectral Selection Toolbar" (available at View > Toolbars).
  • Transcription Toolbar (Play-at-speed) can now loop play and cut-preview.
  • Timer Record now saves recordings automatically into an existing project.
  • New Armenian translation.

Operating system and sound device support:

  • (Windows) Audacity 2.1.0 requires Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) or XP SP2 (64-bit), Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1.
  • (Windows) Audacity is now compiled using Visual Studio 2013.
  • (Windows) Recording with WASAPI host now includes experimental support for physical inputs (up to 24-bit depth) as well as loopback recording.
  • (OS X) 10.10 (Yosemite) is now supported including Apple Audio Units.

Bug Fixes

Interface:

  • Typing "j" or "k" in a label track activated the "move cursor" shortcut.
  • Spectrogram log (f) view displayed incorrectly until vertically zoomed.
  • Fixed crash after zooming out on vertical scale beyond +/-1.0.
  • Selections made with Selection Toolbar were not restored after Undo.
  • Undo could fail silently if a selection included/touched a clip boundary.

Imports and Exports:

  • If there were invalid FFmpeg libs in system PATH this prevented Audacity recognising the installed FFmpeg or the FFmpeg specified in audacity.cfg.
