It used to be a simple, fast audio editor. Switched from Pr Pro to DaVinci a few years ago, which has a reasonable audio editor in it. Needed an editor to cut a standalone audio clip so downloaded the latest version of Audacity. The program took several minutes before it even started to open the file, then another several minutes to open the file. It’s a fairly large file, >300MB. Still, the program was incredibly slow.

This plug-in worked well in Audacity v3.7.8. Upon upgrading Audacity to v3.7.9, this plug-in causes the program to crash, every time. Can’t send the crash report. Re-installing v3.7.8 has this plug-in working again. Thoughts?

We use Audacity to analyse digital microphones. Then we make recordings with 24 bit resolution and have an expected noise level at -108dBFSrms (A-weighted level). Sometimes we have internal interference from other electronic parts that creates noise at different frequencies. We want to be able to see this noise spectrum even if the rms level is super low. If I look at the spectrum, the dynamic range is limited to -99dBFS. This is good enough for 16 bit recordings, but for 24 bit, it would be2026-09-18T14:06:50+00:00Audacity Forumtag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/audacity/cc56d2d3a0a2747dALT+UP AND ALT + DOWN assigned to new function2026-09-18T12:35:41+00:00ALT+UP AND ALT + DOWN now appears to be assigned to a new function as changing effect up or down. whereas it used to change pitch of selected track up or down, which it no longer appears to work for.

Mailbox providers also consider factors such as IP and domain reputation, complaint rates, engagement, sending consistency, content, and recipient behavior. A technically correct email can therefore still be filtered if the overall sending reputation is weak or the recipients rarely engage with the messages.

I actually like a lot about the direction of Audacity 4. The new Qt interface feels fast, quick and snappy, and I like the new look and colors. Ironically, I usually like new stuff and major changes. But with Audacity 4.0, it is simply too much pain for me right now. It feels like around 70% of what I learned over all those years about basic editing, selecting audio, playback, exporting and general workflow suddenly has little value.

According to the Audacity 4 documentation, envelopes are a visual layer toggled via the Automation button, and gain envelopes are clip-based — they stay with the clip when moved or copied. However, once control points are added, they cannot be removed . The points persist on the clip and there is no apparent way to delete individual points or clear the entire envelope from a clip. This makes gain envelopes effectively irreversible, which is 2026-09-07T07:31:42+00:00Audacity Forumtag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/audacity/60d7d08ed623a2f7Shortcut keys not saved, cannot play selected region, doesn't even recognize my default mic, what is the point?2026-09-07T06:08:45+00:00Shortcut keys not saved, cannot play selected region, doesn’t even recognize my default mic, what is the point?

This annoyed me, so I went back to Audacity 3, only to find it had somehow deleted it there too. Now I have to recreate a new preset. Select the S for solo, and it does not select M for mute, as it did in Audacity 3 for the track not selected as Solo.

After an hour of frustration with 4.0, I returned to 3.7.9 to quickly finish-up an audition.
