Audacity 3.6 open-source, free, and cross-platform audio editor has been released today as a major update introducing several new features, a fresh new look, and various improvements.<\/p>\n

Coming almost three months after Audacity 3.5<\/a><\/strong>, the Audacity 3.6 release introduces master effects, which are effects that apply to the entire project at once, a new compressor and limiter effects that feature gain reduction history when they\u2019re used as a real-time effect, and new and improved dark and light themes.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou 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,\u201d explained the devs.<\/p>\n

This release also adds support for the latest and greatest FFmpeg 7<\/a><\/strong> open-source multimedia framework, support for pasting audio files into Audacity using Ctrl+V, a new \u2018Export Selected Audio\u2019 in n Extras > Export option, support for offsets larger than 2 GB, and an option to the View menu to show\/hide RMS in waveforms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Moreover, Audacity 3.6 brings a redesigned What\u2019s New dialog, support for downloading OpenVINO AI effects from audacityteam.org\/download\/openvino\/<\/a>, support for themeable alternative waveform colors via custom themes, as well as a new \u2018GetInfo: Type=Selection\u2019 option in Scripting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Various bugs were addressed as well, including a bug that could open a project with the wrong sample rate, a bug causing stray orange lines when using the High Contrast theme, a bug that affects the quality slider for Ogg export on Linux systems, a bug in the macro manager preventing it from showing parameterless actions as editable, and a bug when recording to a new track preventing it from being scrolled back into view again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You can download Audacity 3.6 right now from the official website<\/a><\/em> as an AppImage binary that you can run on virtually any GNU\/Linux distribution without installing anything on your personal computer. Check out the release notes<\/a><\/em> for more details about the changes included in this version.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
