Audacity 3.6.2 has now been unveiled as the most recent stable version of this open-source, free digital audio editor and recorder program available across various platforms. It addresses numerous issues identified in the Audacity 3.6<\/a><\/strong> iteration.<\/p>\n

This update, known as Audacity 3.6.2, is the second minor update to the Audacity 3.6 series. It introduces a “Legacy” effects category that includes the traditional Limiter, Compressor, and Classic Filters, consolidates the time track range into a single dialogue box, and reverts back to the previous method of altering selections when importing audio clips.<\/p>\n

This release primarily focuses on resolving flaws, including the disappearance of the pitch indicator on Linux when reaching double digits, a missing baseline, software freezing after an undo action, envelope visuals for offset clips not starting at zero, and the malfunctioning user interface of the track header when adjusting channels within a stereo track.<\/p>\n

Additional improvements include fixing an error where pasting could rename clips, an issue preventing clips from being copied into the clipboard when cut, a problem causing Audacity to display a plain white screen on certain computers, troubles with LV2 plugin detection on macOS and Windows, and difficulties associated with splitting stereo tracks into mono.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On top of that, Audacity 3.6.2 fixes Labeled Audio operations, an issue where Cloud projects sometimes won\u2019t open, a bug causing tracks with master effects sometimes only export silence, a crash after recording long sessions, a crash when failing to load a cloud project, and importing of multi-channel OGG and Wavpack files.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Last but not least, this release addresses an issue where the \u201cediting clips can move other clips\u201d preference would desynchronize multiple tracks and a bug causing Audacity maxing out the CPU when minimized. Check out the release notes on the project\u2019s GitHub page<\/a><\/em> for more details on these changes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Audacity 3.6.2 is available for download from the official website<\/a><\/em> as a universal AppImage binary that lets you run the application on virtually any GNU\/Linux distribution without installing anything. Of course, you can also install Audacity from Flathub<\/a><\/em> as a Flatpak app or from your distro\u2019s software repositories.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
