Audacity Development Team - (Open Source)

Audacity is a multi-track recorder able to handle full projects, and an audio editor.

Audacity is a free audio processing software that supports the following file formats: WAV, AIFF, OGG and MP3, applying many filters to sound: silence suppression, echo or add special effects, noise suppression, mixing, distortion, reverb, pitch bend / shift and more.

It can cut audio files, delete or add rests, apply fading in / out audio files and treat separately the left / right channels. The program offers unlimited undo number and also the possibility to convert the records and old tapes to digital media.

Thanks to the integrated editor, you also have the ability to copy, paste and mix sounds together to create multitrack projects.

Bug fixes:

* Crash, slow launch or excessive CPU/memory use arising from automatic VST support:
o VST instrument plug-ins should now be correctly ignored
o VST effects now scanned only at start of first session that detects them, then cached
o Effects are now not loaded or opened until needed
o New "Effects" tab in Preferences to enable/disable VST effects and enable VST rescan on next launch
* Default View Mode now works
* Chains now always apply their stored parameters rather than those last used in Effect menu
* Non-MP3 files imported via drag or Recent Files caused crash if filter in file open window set to MP3
* AAC exports (using the optional FFmpeg library) silenced
* Generating audio always fitted the project in the window; fit now done only if generating in new track
* View menu items/shortcuts incorrectly disabled when playing or recording
* DTMF generator defaulted to zero duration on open
* Unwanted interactions between linked audio and label tracks
* (Windows XP) Failure to launch on some machines due to "incorrect configuration" issue

o QuickTime importer now handles files greater than 16-bit or 64000 Hz
