Audacity 3.0.0 is a major update on our previous Audacity 2.4.2. We’ve changed the format in which we save Audacity projects! Previously we saved projects as a sometimes large number of small files, with an ‘.aup’ file to coordinate the lot. This way of doing things is sometimes called ‘pile of files’ storage. Audacity 3 is here, nine years after the last major update The free music recording software has a new file format and analyser – exciting stuff. Audacity, the free audio recording software, has been updated to version 3.0, with an improved noise gate, analyser, and file format.
Audacity is the premier free audio recording and editing application in the realm of freeware audio editing. It is freely distributed as open source software that anybody can use. With the removal of Windows' sound recorder, there opened up a huge need for a free audio recording solution and the team behind Audacity took up that challenge.
Audacity is able to record live audio from your microphone or other sources, covert tapes and records to mp3s or digital CDs, Edit OGG Vorbis, MP3 and Wave files (among others).
More of what Audacity can do include a long list of editing tools. You're able to cut, copy, paste, splice and mix sounds together. Changing the pitch of your voice or other recording has never been easier; Audacity has an unlimited undo and redo history, making it extremely easy to correct mistakes. This application is also a pro at editing very large files such as recordings over several hours.
Audacity's 3.0 update, in March 2021, introduced a new project file format,.aup3, using SQLite database to store everything. Audacity supports only 32-bit or 64-bit VST audio effect plug-ins, depending on which architecture it was built for, but not both at the same time. It is built in 32-bit for Windows and 64-bit for macOS. Audacity on Windows is only available as a 32-bit application that may be used on 32-bit or 64-bit systems. For macOS Audacity 3.x is 64-bit.
Among some of the effects Audacity can apply to your sound files: you can remove static and hiss noises, alter the frequencies and apply equalization. The adjustment tools can change the volumes with the compressor, amplify and normalize effects.
In addition to the many effects and tools already built-in to Audacity, the developers have also opened the program up to plug-ins which are freely available across the Internet.
And as always, you can save your finished audio files with a range of different qualities such as editing 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit samples and create recordings of up to 96 kHz. Mixing tracks with different sampling rates is no problem: Audacity will equalize and compensate.
Overall, Audacity is an excellent tool to use for editing and recording audio files with full support for the most common audio formats including MP3 and WAV.
Audacity can convert mp3 to ringtone, apply effects to music, edit audio, convert audio and record audio.
