A Free, Cross-Platform Digital Audio Editor

Edit Package audacity

Audacity is a program that manipulates digital audio wave forms. In
addition to recording sounds directly from within the program, it
imports many sound file formats, including WAV, AIFF, AU, IRCAM, MP,
and Ogg Vorbis. With Audacity, you can edit wave data larger than the
physical memory size of your computer.

Revision 219 (latest revision is 221)
Dave Plater's avatar Dave Plater (plater) accepted request 1171068 from Konstantin Voinov's avatar Konstantin Voinov (kill_it) (revision 219)
- Update VST3SDK to latest 3.7.11_build10
- Remove vst3-specific patches, update .spec
- Update to 3.5.1
  This is a hotfix release. It fixes the following bugs:
  * #6322 Fixed a crash on launch on macOS 11 and older.
  * #6324 Fixed the update notification looking for alpha versions
    instead of release versions.
  * #6321 Fixed a freeze when using macros on multiple files.
- Version 3.5.0 changes:
  Major changes
  * Cloud project saving
  * We've introduced a new cloud-saving feature that allows you to
    save your Audacity projects to audio.com. This allows you to work
    from any device, share & collaborate with others and restore
    previous versions if something went wrong.
  * Automatic tempo detection
  * Audacity can now automatically detect the tempo of imported loops,
    and adjust them to be in tempo.
  * Tempo detection is done via both audio analysis and metadata checking.
    If you want to prepare your loop for automatic tempo detection
    without relying on audio analysis, both acidizer tempo tags or
    simply writing "123 bpm" anywhere into the filename work.
  * Automatic tempo detection can be turned off via Preferences -> Import/Export.
  * Pitch shifting
  * You now can non-destructively change the pitch of a clip by
    holding Alt and pressing the Up and Down arrow keys. Alternatively,
    you can click on the overflow menu (...) and select "Pitch and speed...".
    When changing the pitch this way, an arrow in the UI indicates
    how much you've shifted it.
  Other changes
  Additions
  * Added an option to skip plugin scanning to Preferences -> Effects.
  * Added an overflow menu, as well as speed and pitch indicators to clips.
  * Added subtitle formats for labels. Export to WebVTT and SubRip and
    import of SubRip files is now supported. (Thanks, Pokechu22 and
    Larry Bordowitz!)
  Changes
  * Reworked the plugin manager.
  * Improved accessibility. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  * When zooming in vertically (Ctrl+scroll on the vertical
    scale), the zeroline now remains centered. Moving the vertical
    zoom off-center still is possible via Shift+scroll on the vertical scale.
  * Changed the look of the selection adjust cursors (previously pointing
    fingers on Windows and macOS, now look like >| everywhere).
  * Changed the timeline options button from a green triangle to
    a settings gear. From it, you can switch between Beats & Measures
    or hh:mm:ss timeline rulers, set various preferences regarding to looping,
    as well as playhead behaviors: "Scroll view to playhead"
    (previously: "Update display while playing") and "Continuous scrolling"
    (previously: Pinned Play Head).
  * Improved BSD support. (Thanks, Brad Smith!)
  * macOS: Changed the Audacity.app icon on macOS to fit new design guidelines.
  * Reordered some menus.
  * Moved OK/Cancel buttons of effects to the bottom.
  Removals
  There have been a number of removals of niche features to simplify the app.
  This should make the app a bit less overwhelming to use, and
  also will speed up future development as fewer things need to be considered.
  * Removed the read-only mouse preferences page.
  * Removed Printing options.
  * Removed Screenshot tool. To make a screenshot,
    use Win+Shift+S (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+4 (Mac) instead.
  * Removed Karaoke view.
  * Removed the "solo=none" preference.
  * Removed timeline tooltips preference.
  * Removed "dragging selection edges" preference.
  * Removed some warning dialogs and associated preferences.
  * Removed "scrolling left of zero" preference.
  * Replaced "Advanced Vertical Zooming" with new always-on behavior.
  * Removed some vertical zoom presets.
  * Removed EQ XML to TXT converter, which was needed for 
    the Audacity 2.3 -> 2.4 transition. It is now a plugin instead,
    downloadable at https://plugins.audacityteam.org/additional-resources/eq-curves/eq-xml-to-txt-converter.
  * Removed the "Vocal reduction and isolation" effect. As a replacement
    on Windows and Linux, the Intel OpenVINO plugins work better and on
    a wider array of content, including mono tracks. The old effect still can
    be downloaded from https://plugins.audacityteam.org/nyquist-plugins/effect-plugins/filters-and-eq#vocal-reduction-and-isolation
  Bugfixes
  * Fixed a number of dialogs that were able to grow too large to
    fit on the screen.
  * #2133 Fixed the playback cursor sometimes desynchronizing with
    actual playback. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  * #3723 #5615 Fixed the GetInfo scripting command.
  * #5283 Fixed "Reset configuration" command breaking modules preference page.
  * #5389 Fixed stereo tracks randomly splitting into mono.
  * #5500 The Export Audio -> (external program) option remembers
    the command line argument again.
  * #5670 #3903 Fixed the Compressor effect sometimes corrupting
    audio. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  * #5580 #4952 Fixed Timer Record sometimes failing to export.
    (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  * #5681 Fixed incorrect level measurements for mono tracks in
    Noise Gate effect. (Thanks, Steve Daulton!)
  * #5750 When exporting multiple files, the mono/stereo setting is
    now honored properly.
  * #5848 Fixed some effects failing when language is set to German,
    Korean, Dutch, Slovenian, or Turkish.
  * #5868 #1548 Fixed 8 and 9 inputs not working on keyboard inputs which
    have AltGr+8/9 mean [ and ]. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  * #5858 Fixed Audacity crashing when making a stereo track using
    keyboard. (Thanks, Joe Souza!)
  * #5976 Fixed the "Set default" button not working in the metadata
    editor. (Thanks, dg-no-9!)
  * #5977 Linux: Fixed a memory leak in Wayland by explicitly running
    on X11. (Thanks, Takahashi, Naoki!)

Audacity Is Now A Possible Spyware, Remove It ASAP https://fosspost.org/audacity-is-now-a-spyware/

What About The Future of Audacity?

For the time being, you can use Audacity versions up to 3.0.2 guaranteeing that they have no network capabilities.

Further I disabled any update checking a long time ago


Yavor Uzunov's avatar

Version 3.0.3 is out! Maybe the package isn't updated because of privacy concerns? They updated their problematic policy to be better and by default, if you compile it, it compiles without telemetry.


Dave Plater's avatar

It's requirement for Conan which appears to be a package manager will hold it up while I ask why it's there. Also any network connection will have to be disabled.


Dave Plater's avatar

Looks like audacity isn't going to be updated until the conan requirement is fixed. The fork tenacity is only on 3.0.3RC2 so far but if nothing is done by audacity-3.0.4 I'll create tenacity and send to Factory. https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/1522


Dave Plater's avatar

3.0.4, heavily patched has an option to disable network access


Daniele Tombolini's avatar

3.1.3 is broken: error while loading shared libraries: lib-screen-geometry.so


Dave Plater's avatar

A work around is "sudo ldconfig -v /usr/lib64/audacity"


Anony Mous's avatar

How to request a build/release of 3.3.2? It fixes critical bugs to allow Audacity to function correctly. It's basically inoperable currently.


Konstantin Voinov's avatar

Write me next time please. As I mainly maintain this package.
