Good video, very much worth watching despite the length. New UI will look something like this:
with an option for a more classic look.
Looks like an enourmous UX improvement too, and a rewrite to QT and eliminating a lot of technical debt will make development faster.
Tenacity has replaced this years ago. Fuck around, find out!
And what exactly does Tenacity bring to the table other than a name replace across the code-base?
The non-destructive editing and realtime effects alone are a huge jump in capability between the current and old versions of Audacity, and that’s before we even discuss UI improvements
From what I could tell when I looked into it after a comment someone left on !nebula@lemmy.world, some people were very upset at the privacy implications of Audacity adding an update detection mechanism (which can be turned off, and which is not included at all in the default build if you build it yourself).
Are people are actually upset about an auto update feature? A feature that has been pretty standard in programs for a very long time?
I understood some of the upset when they added telemetry, but auto-update?
Not even auto-update. Just auto detect updates. Then you go and download it yourself manually.
Auto-update-detection meant that the software was calling out to a remote server, so they updated the TOS to reflect that, and people got upset.
afaik most distros and flathub package it without that for obvious reasons
Ardour is milea ahead on all that anyway. Tenacity is a simple multi-channel recorder. That’s all it needs to be
Hard agree! It fills a really specific use case, for ease of use, relatively simple projects (though like any simple tech, artists gonna art and make something massive lol).
Aurduor and the like (I jumped over to Reaper) are truly excellent options for more intense projects.
Yeah… Who the hell uses audacity anymore.

Basically everyone.
Yep. Tenacity all the way!
