Audacity 1.2.2 release notes
Windows Installer Download
Full Version: Audacity 1.2.2 released
CODE
Changes in 1.2.2:
* VU Meters added for both playback and recording. Click on
the recording meter to monitor the input without recording.
* Export Multiple - new feature that lets you export multiple
files at once, either by track, or split based on labels.
* Attempt to automatically correct latency in full-duplex recordings.
(This does not work perfectly, and is not yet supported on all
systems. It will improve in future versions.)
* Fixed a serious bug that could cause data loss when you save and
then reload and re-edit an Audacity project containing repeated
or duplicate data.
* MP3 tags dialog will only pop up the first time you export as
MP3; after that it will not pop up again as long as you have
filled in at least one tag.
* You can now add a label at the current playback position - in
the Project menu, with a shortcut of Ctrl+M.
* Clicking on a label now selects all of the tracks, making it
easier to use the label track to recall selections.
* Windows: Fixed a crash in the Time Track "Set Rate" command.
* Fixed a bug that caused problems with recordings over 45 minutes
on some Windows systems.
* Mac OS X: Improved support for the Griffin iMic by fixing a bug
that was causing it to always record in mono instead of stereo.
* Added support for Software Playthrough (listen to what you're
recording while recording it, or while monitoring using a VU
meter) - this makes it possible, for example, to record using one
audio device while listening to it play through a separate device.
* Unix/Linux: Fixed freeze caused by captured mouse when audio
device hangs. (Audacity may not respond, but it will no longer
freeze all of X.)
* Fixed a cosmetic bug that caused improper waveform display if
you tried to open an Audacity project saved on a different
platform (e.g., copying a project from a Mac to a PC).
* Fixed bug that could cause instability when pasting, splitting,
or duplicating a label track.
* You can now change the font of a label track by choosing "Font..."
from the label track's pop-up menu.
* Basic printing support has been added. Currently it scales the
entire project to fit exactly on one page. Try printing in
landscape orientation for best results.
* Mac OS X and Windows: Audacity ships with a newer version (1.0.1)
of the Ogg Vorbis encoder. Vorbis compression will now have higher
quality and smaller file sizes.
* Fix a bug that occasionally caused crashes when applying effects
to split tracks.
* Zoom In / Zoom Out now properly disable when they're not available.
* Fixed disk memory leak in Preview
* Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
* VU Meters added for both playback and recording. Click on
the recording meter to monitor the input without recording.

files at once, either by track, or split based on labels.

I've been looking for this for a long time. This is a great audio editor. A big thank you to the developers. the recording meter to monitor the input without recording.
if only it would support a speed-envelope (changing tempo with affecting pitch), i would make it my main-audioeditor. I've been searching for this simple feature all over, but it seems only the pro editors have it while also supporting VSTs.
Really, i just need a simple multitrack-editor which supports VSTs & a speed/rate-envelope. None of the light-medium editors seem to have this simple-feature. Someone who wants it needs to buy one of the pro editors which do not just cost hundreds of $$$ but also have lots of unneeeded features. If audacity would implement this feature, then would be completely alone with this in the lightweight-medium class - no other editor has this.

Isn't Audacity's Effect menu/Change Speed exactly what you are looking for?

yes, with the exception that it changes the speed constantly for a given range. As i mentioned, what i want is an envelope.

Ogg Vorbis 1.0.1? Why not GT3b2 or aoTuV?of the Ogg Vorbis encoder.
I don't see any benefit from using the official release.

Well, maybe the developers don't even know about these optimized versions. They aren't very well known outside HA and some Vorbis circles.

Oh, OK now I get it. My mind totally discarded the envelope word in the first post
There is only soundforge that I know that supports this thing unfortunately. Far from being free I'm afraid.
