Help us test the first Audacity 4 alpha!
+
+
+ The first alpha version of Audacity 4 is intended as an early preview and feedback opportunity on some core interactions we have designed.
+
+
+
What should work
+
We expect the following flow to work reasonably well:
+
+
Recording, generating and importing audio
+
The core editing flow of applying effects (destructive or realtime), making cuts, moving clips and such.
+
Exporting (without metadata)
+
Customization of the app (themes, and editing/moving the toolbar)
+
+
+
What doesn't work yet
+
We haven't completed all development tasks for the full app yet. As such, a lot of features are missing, or appear disabled for the moment. We expect the following things to not work right now:
+
+
Various menu items and buttons haven't been hooked up to functionality yet, you'll see them greyed out.
+
Various plugins – Nyquist, LADSPA and VAMP and the OpenVINO plugins – have not been ported over yet.
+
Preferences from Audacity 3 are not carried over.
+
Some more advanced features, like envelopes, labels, spectrograms aren't available yet.
+
Most effects/generators/analyzers aren't available yet.
+
Opening multiple projects at the same time is not supported yet.
+
+
+
+
+
Submit your feedback!
+
+ We're always eager to hear what you have to say, but it's especially
+ important we hear from you during this early phase. Please let us
+ know what you think, using the following places:
+
+ And with all that out of the way: Happy testing!
+
+
+
System requirements
+
Audacity 4 has higher system requirements than Audacity 3, mostly due to Qt's platform support. We expect Audacity 4 Alpha 1 to work on the following platforms:
+
+
+ Windows 10 & 11 (x64, but not ARM yet)
+
+
+ macOS 12 and later
+
+
+ Linux: Ubuntu 22.04, RedHat 8.6, openSUSE 15.6, Debian 11.6 and later
+
