Muse Group has released Audacity 3.2, the latest version of its free audio editor and recorder.
‘Since Muse Group’s acquisition of Audacity in 2021, the intention has remained clear – to improve Audacity’s functionality and features for an easier user experience,’ says Audacity Head of Product, Martin Keary. ‘The combination of Audacity 3.2 with quick audio sharing and cloud storage brings freely accessible music software to creators everywhere. This is an important step on our journey of turning a much-loved audio tool into a fully-fledged DAW.’
Audacity 3.2 moves towards being an end-to-end production tool, with the addition of real-time effects support, non-destructive editing, VST3 support, UX and UI improvements, as wellas quick audio sharing with the newly launched audio.com.
Audio.com allows creators to share audio files via a link that enables then to create a own catalogue of original audio. Creators can make their own profile with a biography, link to their social profiles, upload audio files either publicly or privately, and share projects in their account using it as cloud storage.
‘The addition of audio.com further empowers creators to build their own portfolio of original audio,’ says audio.com Head of Product, Lukas Lyrestam. ‘By either exporting it from Audacity or directly uploading it on audio.com, anyone now has the opportunity to easily create and share their original sound with the world, be it music or podcast.’
With Audacity 3.2, effects and crossfades can now be adjusted in real-time, allowing changes in timing and edits to be made while listening to audio. Audacity 3.2 also brings improved non-destructive audio capabilities, where users can tweak the effects without changes being permanently written into the audio file.
Virtual Studio Technology (VST3 support) is also enhanced, promising a more streamlined experience for users with a completely rewritten code base, providing the most stable and reliable VST platform to date.
Audacity 3.2 also introduces a clearer and more consistent set of visuals in the top bar, with the audio output bar and volume slider combined for more efficient functionality. A new Audio Setup option allows quick and easy changes to be made to input, mic and output settings.
Muse Group continues to develop the product through user feedback, and regular updates.
