Changes in Audacity 1.2

This page lists major changes since our last stable release, Audacity 1.0.0. Users of our beta versions should see the changelog for changes since Audacity 1.1.0.

Professional-Quality Audio

    * Audacity can now record and edit 24-bit and 32-bit (floating-point) samples. Tracks with different sample rates and formats can exist in the same project, and Audacity will convert them in realtime whenever necessary. High-quality dithering and resampling is used for all conversions.

    * Audacity's sound input and output has been improved. Audacity can now record more than two channels at once. Buffering is improved, for lower chances of skipping and buffer underruns.

Effects

    * Three new effects change the pitch and tempo of a track:

          o Change Pitch raises or lowers the tone of a selection, without affecting the speed.

          o Change Tempo makes the selection play faster or slower, without altering the pitch.

          o Change Speed alters both the playback speed and the pitch, just like changing the speed of a turntable or tape player.

    * Most effects now include a "Preview" button, which allows you to try different settings without closing the effect window. A new command allows you to repeat the last effect without re-opening the window.

    * Other new effects include:

          o Compressor, for dynamic range compression.

          o Repeat, to loop samples.

          o Normalize, to adjust volume and correct DC bias.

New Editing Features

    * The Envelope tool, used for smoothly fading tracks in and out, can now be used to make tracks louder than their original volume as well as quieter.

    * The new "Time track" feature is similar to the volume envelope, but instead changes the playback speed smoothly as a track plays.

    * Each track now has its own Gain and Pan controls, for easier mixing.

    * Audacity can find zero-crossings, to help create smooth cuts and loops. Press "Z" to move selection edges to the nearest zero-crossings.

Plugins

    * On Linux, Audacity can now load LADSPA plugins.

    * Audacity 1.2 features a digital signal processing language called Nyquist, which allows users to program new effects in a LISP-like language.

File Import and Export

    * Audacity 1.2 project files use a new XML file format. Audacity 1.2 will automatically open and convert project files from earlier releases.

    * Audacity 1.2 uses libmad for much faster decoding of MP3 files. Erik de Castro Lopo's libsndfile provides improved compatibility with many uncompressed audio file formats.

    * The import and open dialogs now allow Audacity users to select several audio files at once, and open them into a single project. A new "LOF" file format provides a way for Audacity to open a group of files with offsets listed in a text file.

Improved User Interface

    * New Edit and Mixer toolbars for fast access to common functions.

    * The new Drawing tool allows adjustment of individual samples, when fully zoomed in. The new Multi-Tool mode gives quick access to different editing functions without needing to switch tools.

    * Many new keyboard commands have been added, and keyboard shortcuts can now be customized.

    * New commands:

          o Looped play. Type "L", or hold down shift when clicking Play.

          o Type "1" to play a 1-second preview of the audio around the cursor.

    * The mouse wheel can be used to zoom in and out.

    * Tracks can now be zoomed vertically by clicking or dragging in the vertical rulers. Shift-click or right-click to zoom out.

    * The ruler and status bar can now display time in several different formats, including seconds, samples, or video frames.

    * Audacity's interface can now be translated into languages other than English. You can volunteer to help translate Audacity into your native language.

Det verkar ju schysst, man kanske ta tanka hem och prova, för som alla vet så är ju gratis godast! 😎

skulle gärna köra audacity, men en liten sak hindrar mig.. (från FAQ:n):

"3. When I try to record harmonies with myself, why are the two tracks out of sync?

This is normal and it happens because there is a small delay between when Audacity starts playing sound and when it actually reaches your speaker. Audacity does not automatically try to correct for this delay, and you must do it manually.

To correct this delay, use the Time Shift tool to slide one of the tracks over until they line up. Note that you can use the tool while you are listening to the recording. "

Så fort de fixar det skulle jag absolut iaf testköra programmet 😛

Häpp.

>>Så fort de fixar det skulle jag absolut iaf testköra programmet

Det kallas för latency och beror nästan helt och hållet på ljudkortet. Vissa ljudkort har mycket, andra har mindre. Inget problem. Fixas enkelt med time-shift. Så provkör.

Härligt. Har hängt med det här programmet ett tag nu så uppdateringar blir jag bara glad av.
