Software-update: Audacity 1.3.12 bèta

Donderdag is er een nieuwe versie uitgekomen in de ontwikkeltak van de opensource audio-editor Audacity. Het programma, dat beschikbaar is voor Windows, Linux en Mac OS X, kan geluid opnemen, wav-, aiff-, ogg- en mp3-bestanden importeren en exporteren, en heeft een ongelimiteerde undo-functie. Daarnaast heeft Audacity een grote verzameling effecten aan boord, zoals fade-in en fade-out, echo, tempowijziging en ruisonderdrukking. Meer effecten kunnen eenvoudig worden toegevoegd, want het programma ondersteunt zowel vst- als ladspa-plug-ins. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:

Bug fixes for:

Imports and Exports:

• AAC files could not be exported at 48000 Hz
• When importing multiple native file formats using FFmpeg, all files after the first reverted to using the native importer
• FFmpeg custom export window too large on 800 x 600 resolution monitors
• Projects froze if files imported via On-Demand were no longer available
• (Linux) WAV/AIFF exports were corrupted if overwriting an aliased file which had been imported using the command line

Labels:

• Cutting or deleting a region in the waveform and label track did not move the labels in advance of the cut
• Incorrect behavior snapping to labels and boundaries with Snap To enabled
• Labels can now be reversed if included with the audio selection using the command line

Other bug fixes:

• When using non-English languages, Generate effects truncated the selected region
• Mice with high-precision scroll-wheels could cause a crash
• Changing recording preferences using the Transport menu did not update the menu in other open projects
• (Windows 7) Clicking in a file open or save dialog caused files or folders to disappear from the list, and file filtering was broken

Changes and improvements:

• A hover tooltip is now provided if the Mixer Toolbar input selector cannot control the system slider for the selected input.
• More intuitive behavior when moving and resizing labels by dragging
• Support added for importing lists of files (LOF) containing relative paths
• Export Multiple: new option to use a numerical prefix before existing label or track names; "Success" dialog now resizable
• New Equalization preset "Inverse RIAA", with new button to invert other curves
• Timer Record now remembers last scheduled duration
• Meter Toolbar can now be made much narrower, and so more suitable for vertical orientation
• New Preferences choice for "System" language which is used on first run instead of asking user to choose language
• Warning now provided if WAV/AIFF exports are not successfully completed
• (Linux) Improved icon set in compliance with freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification 0.6

Please be aware of Known Issues at Release (also viewable in the included README.txt).
