Uitgavegeschiedenis Audacity

Hieronder vindt u beschrijvingen van de wijzigingen en vernieuwingen in de opeenvolgende versies van Audacity.

Audacity 2.1.2

Geluidseditor Audacity is een van de meestgebruikte en veelzijdigste gratis programmma's om muziek en andere audiofragmenten mee te bewerken.

Audacity 2.1.2 is vandaag verschenen. In deze uitgave is de weergave van spectogrammen sterk verbeterd. Het Voorkeuren-menu is aangepast en Audacity's map voor tijdelijke (work in progress) projecten is gewijzigd omdat sommige pc-schoonmakers deze map weggooiden. Ook zijn diverse fouten voor de Mac-versie en in de interface opgelost. Ten slotte is een crash bij het lezen van grote wav- en mp2-bestanden verholpen. Verdere details kun je hieronder nalezen.

Audacity is verkrijgbaar voor Windows Vista tot en met 10, Mac OS X en Linux. Het programma is in het Nederlands vertaald.

Release notes:

Improvements

  • Effects
    • Noise Reduction defaults changed.
  • Interface

We’ve made several improvements to the spectrogram view of tracks which are particularly valuable for vocal work.

  • New option ‘Spectral Reassignment’. This algorithm deduces a ‘finer’ spectrogram for vocal work.
  • Four new Spectrogram scales.
  • Improvement to the Pitch (EAC) algorithm – cleaner (sharper) display.
  • Spectrogram Settings are now available per-track.
  • Other Changes
    • Upgraded from wxWidgets 2.8.12 to wxWidgets 3.0.2.
    • Restructuring of the Preferences Menu
    • Restructuring of the Track Dropdown Menu (for the Spectrograms)
    • The Noise Reduction "Frequency smoothing" default has been increased to 3 to help avoid metallic artifacts. Resetting Preferences or deleting audacity.cfg will set the new default.
    • (Windows) The location of Audacity's work-in-progress folder has been changed, to avoid problems where certain disk cleaners treated them as deletable temporary files.

Bug Fixes

  • Crashes
    • Crashes on reading very large .wav and .mp2 files have been fixed.
  • Interface
  • Mac OS X

Audacity 2.1.1

Geluidseditor Audacity is een van de meestgebruikte en veelzijdigste gratis programmma's om muziek en andere audiofragmenten mee te bewerken.

Audacity 2.1.1 is eergisteren uitgebracht. In deze versie van Audacity kun je nu bij de effecten kiezen uit allerlei 'presets'. Verder ondersteunt Audacity nu 'scrubbing and seeking' waardoor je makkelijker kunt navigeren in audiofragmenten. Ook kun je plugins in Audacity 2.1.1 installeren zonder opnieuw op te starten. Ten slotte zijn heel veel verbeteringen doorgevoerd en fouten opgelost, waardoor de bewerkingen veel sneller moeten verlopen. Veel crashes zijn ook gerepareerd. Alle details kun je hieronder nalezen. De lijst met bekende problemen is trouwens nog wel heel lang bij deze uitgave.

Audacity is verkrijgbaar voor Windows Vista tot en met 8.1, Mac OS X en Linux. Het programma is in het Nederlands vertaald.

Slight mismatch of vertical scale with linear spectrogram view.
RTP effect Play/Stop button remained deactivated after built-in preview ended.
Contrast: "Move forward or backward through active windows" did not refocus Contrast.
LADSPA and LV2 generate plug-ins failed when white space selected.

Mac OS X

Confusing behaviour importing / exporting AU presets. In particular, Apple Audio Units silently applied an imported preset.

Audacity 2.1.0

Geluidseditor Audacity is een van de meestgebruikte en veelzijdigste gratis programmma's om muziek en andere audiofragmenten mee te bewerken.

Audacity 2.1.0 is de eerste nieuwe uitgave van de muziek-editor in een half jaar. In deze versie van Audacity zijn de effecten verbeterd en is het onder andere mogelijk om een live preview van enkele effecten te beluisteren. Verder zijn er nu een opname- en afspeel-meter in de interface, zodat je direct het geluidsniveau van de opname kunt vaststellen (groene balk in de afbeelding hieronder).

Ten slotte zijn in Audacity 2.1.0 diverse verbeteringen doorgevoerd en fouten opgelost. Audacity is verkrijgbaar voor Windows Vista tot en met 8.1, Mac OS X en Linux. Het programma is in het Nederlands vertaald.
 

Release notes:
Improvements

Effects:
LADSPA, VST and Audio Unit (OS X) effects now support real-time preview, save/load of user presets and saving effect settings across sessions. Note: Real-time preview does not yet support latency compensation.
VST effects now support import/export of FXB preset banks.
Shell VST effects that host multiple plugins are now supported.
All Effect Menu items (built-in or plugin) can now be used in a Chain.
Items in the Effect, Generate or Analyze Menus can be sorted or grouped by name, publisher or class of effect.
Noise Removal is improved and renamed to "Noise Reduction".
Change Speed has new time controls for current and new length. You can now enter the speed change as a multiplier e.g. "2" is twice as fast.
New "Crossfade Tracks" effect can be used for crossfading two tracks. This replaces Cross Fade In and Cross Fade Out.
Nyquist Prompt and most shipped Nyquist effects now have Preview button.

Interface:
Redesigned Meter Toolbars: The default shows separate Record and Playback Meters, half-height so they can be wider while docked, in gradient style.
A frequency selection can now be made (and spectral edit effects applied to those frequencies) when in a spectrogram view. You can also create or adjust frequency selections in a new "Spectral Selection Toolbar" (available at View > Toolbars).
Transcription Toolbar (Play-at-speed) can now loop play and cut-preview.
Timer Record now saves recordings automatically into an existing project.
New Armenian translation.

Operating system and sound device support:
(Windows) Audacity 2.1.0 requires Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) or XP SP2 (64-bit), Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1.
(Windows) Audacity is now compiled using Visual Studio 2013.
(Windows) Recording with WASAPI host now includes experimental support for physical inputs (up to 24-bit depth) as well as loopback recording.
(OS X) 10.10 (Yosemite) is now supported including Apple Audio Units.
(Linux Ubuntu) Under Unity, keyboard shortcuts are not visible in the Audacity menus. Keyboard shortcuts are visible if you install the classic GNOME Flashback interface or under Unity if you open Audacity with the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 environment variable. Audacity compiled from source will ship with src/audacity.desktop.in set to UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 but it will remain up to distributions to use this desktop file.

Bug Fixes

Interface:
Typing "j" or "k" in a label track activated the "move cursor" shortcut.
Spectrogram log (f) view displayed incorrectly until vertically zoomed.
Fixed crash after zooming out on vertical scale beyond +/-1.0.
Selections made with Selection Toolbar were not restored after Undo.
Undo could fail silently if a selection included/touched a clip boundary.

Imports and Exports:
If there were invalid FFmpeg libs in system PATH this prevented Audacity recognising the installed FFmpeg or the FFmpeg specified in audacity.cfg.

Mac OS X:
Fix uninitialized buffer - this should correct playback buzz or crackle where the upper of multiple tracks started with or contained white space.
Device names were corrupted when using system language other than English.
Fixed crashes using (external program).
Waves v9 Audio Units should now work correctly.

GNU/Linux:
Fix "Audacity already running" error when using the command-line or context menu to open multiple or further files.
Fix segfault exporting an FFmpeg format to an unwritable folder.
Fix silent failure exporting FFmpeg, MP2 or OGG to an unwritable folder.
Fix ENTER activated an effect when OK button was greyed out.Addendum:The previous Audacity 2.0.6 version fixed an issue that projects did not reopen correctly if they contained tracks having 2^31 samples or greater of audio (just over 13.5 hours at 44100 Hz).

Audacity 2.0.6

Geluidseditor Audacity is een van de meestgebruikte en veelzijdigste gratis programmma's om muziek en andere audiofragmenten mee te bewerken.

Audacity 2.0.6 is bijna een jaar na de vorige versie uitgebracht. In deze uitgave worden een heleboel foutjes gerepareerd, crashes opgelost en kleine verbeteringen doorgevoerd. Alle details kun je hieronder nalezen. Enigszins zorgwekkend is wel dat de lijst met nog openstaande problemen erg lang is.

Audacity is verkrijgbaar voor Windows XP tot en met 8, Mac OS X en Linux. Het programma is in het Nederlands vertaald.
 

Release notes:
Bug fixes
* Shaped dither was corrupted and too loud on all stereo exports except FLAC.
* Keyboard Preferences: some Edit and Align commands for different sub-menus showed the same name.
* Recordings stopped with "Stop and Set Cursor" shortcut could not be undone.
* In locales that use comma for decimal separator:
- Text boxes with slider in Nyquist effects only produced whole numbers when using comma to enter a fractional number. Text boxes without slider still have this problem.
- Built-in generators produced silence after running a Nyquist effect.
* (Windows) When first changing to Windows WASAPI host, the input volume slider in Mixer Toolbar was enabled when it should have been permanently disabled.
* (Windows) On some machines, launching Audacity then recording from the current Device Toolbar input would not record until the input was reselected.
* (OS X) Frequent crashes occurred on importing audio files on some machines.
* (OS X) Files did not open using Finder "Open with", double-clicking the file or dragging the file to the Audacity icon.
* (Linux 64-bit) Fixed a crash when using Equalization.
* (Linux) It was not possible to open an effect or other dialog then navigate through the dialog using TAB.
* (Linux) The Play shortcut did not play a read-directly WAV, AIFF or FLAC import if the warning for importing uncompressed files appeared.

Changes and Improvements
* Tracks Menu:
* The separate commands that aligned track start or end with the cursor or with selection start are combined into "Cursor/Selection Start" commands.
* "Align and Move Cursor" renamed to "Move Selection when Aligning".
* Label Tracks:
- Labels Editor now allows empty labels to be saved on closing the editor.
- TAB and SHIFT+TAB when the label track has focus now always move forwards or backwards respectively to the nearest label.
* (Windows) On a very few machines, the Windows WDM-KS low latency audio host introduced in Audacity 2.0.4 caused Audacity to hang or the computer to crash. WDM-KS has been removed from 2.0.5 until it can be safely enabled.
* (Windows and OS X) Screen reader improvements for Install VST Effects dialog.
* (OS X) Audio Unit plug-ins detected by Audacity on launch are now not loaded until chosen from the Effect menu. This should speed up launch and avoid crashes at launch due to misbehaving Audio Units.
* (Linux) Update to PortAudio r1910 fixes memory and other bugs under ALSA.
* (Linux) Applied fix for wxGTK 2.8.12 bug which resulted in loss of Audacity's menu bar (or visual corruption under Unity) on Debian-based systems.

Audacity 2.0.0

Na jarenlang in het beta-stadium verkeerd te hebben is geluidsbewerker Audacity 1.3 eindelijk volwassen genoeg volgens de ontwikkelaars om officieel vrijgegeven te worden. Om dit te vieren is het versienummer gelijk opgehoogd tot 2.0.0.

Audacity 2.0 is een veelzijdig programma voor geluidsbewerking. De interface is nauwelijks gewijzigd door de jaren heen - en doet wat gedateerd aan - maar verder zijn er zeer veel verbeteringen doorgevoerd in deze uitgave.

Zo zijn diverse effecten verbeterd, zoals equalization, noise reduction en normalize. Ook is er een nieuwe werkbalk voor de input en output van apparaten. Verder is er een timer toegevoegd.

Het importeren van WAV-bestanden moet nu veel sneller gaan en ook FLAC wordt tegenwoordig ondersteund. Tevens kan de FFmpeg bibliotheek worden toegevoegd in Audacity 2.0 om AC3/M4A/WMA te importeren.

Handig is ten slotte de automatische crash recovery, mocht Audacity 2.0 onverhoopt voortijdig afsluiten.

Release notes:

  • Many effects significantly improved, especially Equalization, Noise Removal and Normalize. Vocal Remover now included plus GVerb on Windows and Mac. VAMP analysis plug-ins now supported.
  • Improved label tracks with Sync-Lock Tracks feature in the Tracks Menu. Multiple clips per track. Tracks and selections can be fully manipulated using the keyboard. Many more keyboard shortcuts.
  • New Device Toolbar to manage inputs and outputs. Timer Record feature. New Mixer Board view with per-track VU meters.
  • Automatic Crash Recovery in the event of abnormal program termination.
  • Fast "On-Demand" import of WAV/AIFF files if read directly from source. FLAC now fully supported. Added support for optional FFmpeg library for import/export of AC3/M4A/WMA and import of audio from video files.
