20 years of soundforge is hard to undo. the money is in knowing all the shortcuts in your head to get through workflow quickly

Awesome news. My oldest is at CMU, and I shared this video with him.

Anyone test it out yet?
Title: Re: Audacity 3.0 Launched
Post by: Gutbucket on May 05, 2021, 02:58:15 PM: Oh yeah, forgot that needed fixing. I have not. Running v2.1.2 on my work computer, installed 6 years ago, to accommodate simple multi-track playback. I don't use this machine to do any actual editing.

Would think that should be a priority, especially given the myriad of scientific uses.

Post by: morst on May 05, 2021, 06:51:58 PM: I'm stuck with 2.1.0 for stretch/squash work, but that's not compatible with Big Sur, so I keep an older mac on High Sierra for those jobs.
the Pixel Bending stuff is interesting in that video, where you do a raw import of video, process it with plug ins and then export raw

You can still download the old versions. I'm also running 2.4.2 after removing the new version.
