Audacity, the free, open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds, has been updated to v2.0.4.

Changes and Improvements:

  • New "Reverb" effect to replace GVerb, based on the original "Freeverb".
  • New View > Go to Selection Start and Go to Selection End commands.
  • New Tracks > Align End to End command to append existing tracks to each other.
  • Change Tempo now supports fractional BPM.
  • Plot Spectrum now supports FFT sizes up to 65536.
  • WAV files now support "Album Title", "Track Number" and "Genre" LIST INFO tags and also support ID3 tags.
  • Handle a bug in older iPods or some OS X applications that cause them to refuse AIFF files whose metadata contains an uneven number of characters.
  • (Windows) Added support for "Windows WDM-KS" host which can provide very low latencies if you reduce "Audio to Buffer" in Recording Preferences.
  • (Windows Vista and later) You can now record computer playback by choosing the new "Windows WASAPI" host in Device Toolbar then a "loopback" input.
  • (Windows and Mac OS X): VST scanning dialog now replaced with a dialog for choosing which VST effects to load.
  • (Linux) CTRL + ALT can now be used to smooth samples in Draw Tool.
  • Modules Preferences replaced with a dialog on launch of Audacity enabling you to choose which modules to load.

Bug fixes:

  • Keyboard Preferences: Shortcuts for Generators, Effects and Analyzers were not exported. All imported shortcut changes were discarded.
  • Equalization curves were corrupted in Graphic EQ mode after switching to/from Draw Curves or after running the effect then reopening it.
  • Change Pitch displayed corrupted values when reducing pitch or editing "from" Frequency. Detection was very inaccurate at high sample rates.
  • Bass Boost no longer clips if the track contains 32-bit audio.
  • Auto Duck was excessively slow on older machines.
  • (Windows) Exported MP3 comments tags were not seen by Windows programs.
  • (Windows and OS X) Audacity crashed if you used system quit before file import was complete.
  • (Linux) Equalization crashed Audacity if the XML file was corrupted.
  • (Linux) When configuring effect parameters in "Edit Chains", "Preview" (not intended to be functional) caused a crash.
  • (Linux) LICENSE.txt and README.txt were wrongly installed in /usr/local/share/doc instead of /usr/local/share/doc/audacity/ .
  • Accessibility: ENTER did not toggle selectedness of a label track unless a label was selected.
  • Numerous other interface fixes.
