(PressZoom) - Today, M4a ( http://M4A.com ) reported that the Audacity Team announced the release of Audacity 1.3.6 ( Beta ) for Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix at the end of October 2008.
This release highlights exciting new capabilities developed by our students in Google Summer of Code ( GSoC ) 2008:
* FFmpeg support ( downloadable separately ) permits import and export of a much wider range of file formats, including WMA, M4A and AC3, plus import of audio from video files * On-demand loading of uncompressed files eliminates the wait before files can be played or edited * Linked audio and label tracks allow labels to move with their corresponding audio when cutting, pasting or changing speed or tempo * Hierarchical plug-in grouping for built-in plug-ins
Google Summer of Code 2008
Other experimental features: Sound activated recording; ability to save smaller, compressed project files; MIDI files can now be imported, cut-and-paste edited, then exported.
Miscellaneous: Interface improvements include a new Transport menu, and a new Preference to choose Waveform, Spectrum or Pitch view. Several bug fixes.
Because it is a work in progress and does not yet come with complete documentation or translations into foreign languages, it is recommended for more advanced users. For all users, Audacity 1.2.6 is a stable release, complete and fully documented. You can have Audacity 1.2.6 and 1.3.6 installed on the same machine.
