AudacityŽ (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for MAC OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems.
Bug fixes for:
ˇ Crash, slow launch or excessive CPU/memory use arising from automatic VST support:
o VST instrument plug-ins should now be correctly ignored
o VST effects now scanned only at start of first session that detects them, then cached
o Effects are now not loaded or opened until needed
o New "Effects" tab in Preferences to enable/disable VST effects and enable VST rescan on next launch
ˇ Default View Mode now works
ˇ Chains now always apply their stored parameters rather than those last used in Effect menu
ˇ Non-MP3 files imported via drag or Recent Files caused crash if filter in file open window set to MP3
ˇ AAC exports (using the optional FFmpeg library (http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins#installffmpeg)) silenced
ˇ Generating audio always fitted the project in the window; fit now done only if generating in new track
ˇ View menu items/shortcuts incorrectly disabled when playing or recording
ˇ DTMF generator defaulted to zero duration on open
ˇ Unwanted interactions between linked audio and label tracks
ˇ (Windows XP (http://www.dvhardware.net/software/16601##)) Failure to launch on some machines due to "incorrect configuration" issue
ˇ (Windows (http://www.dvhardware.net/software/16601##)) Crash importing a stereo file while a screen reader such as JAWS is running
ˇ (Mac OS (http://www.dvhardware.net/software/16601##) X) :
o Audio Units effects applied to all tracks in project even if not selected
o QuickTime importer now handles files greater than 16-bit or 64000 Hz
ˇ Various other interface bugs
Improvements:
Compressor: new option to compress based on peaks, improved attack and decay time support
Mixer Board: improved design, more responsive meters and now interacts fully with Track Panel in main window
Download: Audacity 1.3.9 beta (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_windows)
