+# Audacity 3.3
+
+{% hint style="warning" %}
+Audacity 3.3 is still in beta
+{% endhint %}
+
+Audacity 3.3 was released on xx. xxx 2023
+
+This release is mostly focused on under-the-hood changes
+
+## Changes
+
+* Some of the built-in effects are now realtime capable (Bass & Treble, Distortion, Phaser, Reverb and Wahwah).
+* [#4352](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/4352) Added a new effect: Shelf Filter.
+* Added an initial (beta) version of Beats and Bars. See [aligning-music-to-beats-and-measures.md](../../music/aligning-music-to-beats-and-measures.md "mention") for further info. 
+* [#4414](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/4414) reworked the bottom toolbar dock:
+  * Project Sample Rate is now found in Audio Setup -> Audio Settings (formerly known as Project Rate).
+  * The Snapping Toolbar (formerly known as Snap-To) is now independent of the Selection Toolbar.
+  * Added a new Time Signature Toolbar (beta). It is hidden by default. See [aligning-music-to-beats-and-measures.md](../../music/aligning-music-to-beats-and-measures.md "mention") for further info.
+* [#4212](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/4212) Improved Zooming behavior slightly (more to come in the future).
+* [#4393](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/4393) Added a new ruler, Linear (dB). This ruler goes from 0 dBFS to -∞ dBFS and better reflects the volume as shown in the recording/playback meters.
+* [#3820](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/3820) When copying clips between projects, you now can choose between whether to copy smart clips or just the visible portion.
+* [#4133](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/4133) added a delete button to the Cut/Copy/Paste toolbar.
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* [#1584](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/1584) Audacity no longer dithers tracks unnecessarily.
+* [#2427](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/2427) Linux playback now handles output latency better (less stutters).
+* [#3796](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/3796) The EQ effect no longer resets clip names.
+* [#4417](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/4417) Resampling a track no longer trims it.
+
+### Libraries
+
+* FFmpeg 6 (avformat 60) is now supported.
+* Moved from Breakpad to Crashpad.
+* Extracted various libraries from within Audacity.
+
+A full list of changes can be found [on Github](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/milestone/12?closed=1).
+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+**Windows**
+
+* Audacity 3.3 is tested on Windows 10 & 11
+  * Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1 should still work, but are no longer tested.
+
+**macOS / Mac OS X**
+
+* Audacity 3.3 is tested on macOS 12 & 13
+  * OS X 10.9 and onwards should still work, but are no longer tested.
+
+**Linux**
+
+* In addition to the traditional update path via package managers, Audacity is distributed as an AppImage. The AppImage gets updated at the same time as the Windows and macOS versions, so if you collaborate with users on those platforms, you may want to use the AppImage over your distribution's package manager.
+* Linux support is tested with AppImages on Ubuntu 20.04 & 22.04.
+  * Other Linux distributions should work, but aren't tested by the Audacity team.

 Enabling this checkbox always produces a mono (single channel) MP3 file, mixing down to mono if the Audacity content is stereo or would otherwise produce a stereo file. This is useful if stereo export is not required, because for variable or average bit rate or a Preset other than "Insane", the bit rate and hence the exported file size will be less than for stereo export, but with comparable quality to stereo. This is possible because fewer _**bits**_ are needed for mono encoding than stereo.

 If this checkbox is enabled, the same [SBSMS](http://sbsms.sourceforge.net/) high quality algorithm is used that is used in the **Sliding\_Time\_Scale\_-\_Pitch\_Shift|Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift** effect. Change Tempo will process much more slowly if this checkbox is enabled, but will retain the complete content. For small to moderate tempo changes, the resulting quality will usually be higher, especially with percussive music (such as piano music).

 To measure the latency you will need to record the audio from your playback device using your microphone.  To do this place your microphone next to your speakers/headphones

 #### Recording while playing a test track (Overdub)
 
 * Open the **Generate** menu and select the **Rhythm Track...** option.  Set **Number of Measures (bars)** to 2 and set the **Beat Sound** to **Ping (short)**.  Click **OK** to generate the track.
 * Press **Shift + R** to record a new track. The rhythm track will be played back and recorded on a new track.

 You can read the latency directly from the second panel of numbers. In this case it is 0.184 seconds or 184 milliseconds.
 
 Click on **Edit > Preferences**, click on **Devices** tab and enter the negative of this number in the **Latency compensation** box. In this case it would be -184.  Press **OK** to save your preferences.

 **Note:** If you change any of your recording or playback devices (for example, if you change from using the line input port on your computer to using a USB audio interface) or if you use the same device but change the [Audio Host](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/device\_toolbar.html#host) in [Device Toolbar](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/device\_toolbar.html), then you will need to do this test again. The test you just did only applies for the specific inputs and outputs and host used during the test.
