Audacity 2.3.3 Released

We’re pleased to announce release of Audacity 2.3.3 which replaces all previous versions for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Catalina?

Audacity still does not support macOS Catalina properly, but can be used with a workaround. This is because we have not caught up with Apple’s requirements for ‘notarization’ yet. We are working on this for the next release.

Details of the workaround here:

What we’ve done:

We’ve done a lot of bug fixing on Audacity for this release, and a lot of code restructuring. There are a few visible changes too.

Improvements:

Equalization effect now split into two effects, Filter Curve and Graphic EQ.
- Presets (using manage button) now active/working.
- Can now have two points at same frequency for steep steps.
‘What you hear is what you get’ for exports. Formerly the solo button
preferences could lead to differences in which tracks were exported.
Leading silence (blank space) not skipped over in exports.
Quality setting on AAC/M4A exports.
Some confusing functionality removed (better achieved in other ways)
- Removed Nyquist Workbench (use built-in nyquist features)
- Removed Vocal Remover (use Vocal Reduction)
- Removed On-Demand aliased files (copy files instead)
- Removed ‘Normalize on Load’ (Normalize as needed on export, instead)

Bug Fixes:

Over 150 bugs in 2.3.2 fixed, including:

2112 – Crash when opening Equalization settings in a Macro
2127 – Crash deleting a track while in Record/Pause state
2176 – Crash when attempting to time shift multiple tracks
2141 – Tabbing between labels stopped working
2200 – Refusal to export some large (4GB) files on size grounds
