Audacity Full Version Download For Pc

[Maren Ruminski]

Somemonths ago, I installed the current Version 2.1.2 and as best I can recall did not first uninstall Version 2.0.5 since this is not a requirement. Both versions show up in my Windows Programmes, though the only one I access when opening the programme is 2.1.2.

Because of a technical change we made, if you install 2.1.1 or later over 2.1.0 or earlier, the old installation will be overwritten, but the Programs and Features entry for the older version will be left behind and will uninstall the later version.

If you use Windows Programs and Features it does not give any way to remove an item from the list of installed applications unless the uninstall fails. But if you run uninstall for 2.0.5 from there, it will try to uninstall 2.1.2.

I am running Windows 10 64bit which is updated to current versions. I updated Audacity to 3.1.3 back in April 2022 and have found that many of my projects generated in the previous version fail to import into 3.1.3. Explanations are that my AUP files must be corrupt but that turns out not to be the case. I have tried double clicking on the AUP file from Explorer which starts opening Audacity but results in the error. I have also used the FILE/OPEN command and it also results in the import error. I have attached the screen captures of the actual failure notice

and Audacity 3.1.3 Log

.

It was my understanding that 3.1.3 should import and update these older projects to the new version but it does not work in many cases. I have tried numerous projects and get similar results about 60 percent of the time. Some projects do open, while others do not.

To be more precise, I do not know what previous version I had before the upgrade to 3.1.3 but I loaded it approximately back in 2018. My oldest projects data back to only 2020.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Since the update did not fix the settings problem I was having, I would rather revert back to the older version to eliminate the additional problems that the update caused. Is there a way to go download the previous version?

New compressor and limiter

A new compressor and limiter has been added, replacing the previous versions. A gain reduction history has been added to these effects when they're used as a realtime effect.

Factory Presets suitable for a wide range of use cases for these effects have been provided by Vladislav Isaev and Marek Iwaszkiewicz, available via the Presets & Settings button.

New themes

Audacity now features new and improved dark and light themes. You can switch between themes via Preferences -> Interface. The theme previously used still is around as the Classic theme, and themes even older than that can be optionally installed as custom themes from here.

Updated instructions on creating custom themes can be found here.

There have been a number of removals of niche features to simplify the app. This should make the app a bit less overwhelming to use, and also will speed up future development as fewer things need to be considered.

The safest way to install an older version of Audacity is to download its .deb file from Ubuntu Packages Search or from an official Ubuntu Launchpad website. You can select the version of Audacity from a list of Audacity versions at Audacity in Launchpad.

Don't try to immediately install this .deb file! Before you install the .deb file that you downloaded simulate the installation in order to check if there are any unmet dependencies with the following command.

If the command shows additional unmet dependencies then refer to this answer for information about how to manually download and install them. If the above command is successful then run the following command to install the older version Audacity .deb file that you downloaded.

Yes, Audacity is completely free, open source software. You are free to use this application for any personal, commercial, or educational purposes, including installing it on as many different computers as you wish. You are also free to give it away, sell it, or modify it for your own use, under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

The authors of Audacity decided to release it under the GPL for many reasons. Some of us do it out of generosity. Some of us do it for moral reasons, because we feel that all software should be free; others believe that there is a place for both free and proprietary software.

One reason Audacity is free is so that it will be more popular and useful. Yet another reason is to encourage collaboration. Because of Audacity's free license, dozens of people around the world have contributed code, bug fixes, documentation, and graphics.

We codesign Audacity on Windows and Mac with Microsoft and Apple ID respectively. Please review independent verification of the Audacity software by visiting the virustotal.com search page, entering "audacity" (without quotes) in the search box and clicking the "Search it!" button. Visit siteadvisor.com to view the report for audacityteam.org.

Nonetheless, virus checkers can occasionally report false positives for the Audacity installer for Windows (.exe). This can happen because Audacity uses a compressed installer. Some anti-virus applications can also block installers if you run them from temporary space. Try downloading the installer to your Desktop and running it from there. If you are concerned about the safety of the installer, please feel free to download the zip version of Audacity and check that for viruses. Please report false positives about Audacity to the supplier of the security application so they can update their virus definitions.

Also, SmartScreen filter in recent versions of Internet Explorer (IE) or Microsoft Edge may complain that Audacity is not "commonly downloaded" or say that "Windows has protected your PC" and ask you to confirm the download. This warning is normal and will only occur (if at all) with a new Audacity release or download. The warning occurs because (in addition to checking a list of known malware), IE checks a Microsoft database of files that are "well known and downloaded by many Internet Explorer users". For more help, please see this SmartScreen FAQ.

You can redistribute Audacity under the GNU General Public License, which gives you permission to modify, copy or sell the application as long as you keep the same license and make the source code available. We ask vendors to give proper credit to Audacity, to add some value to their product (for example by including video tutorials or openly licensed sound samples), and to offer customers technical support.

It is legal to sell Audacity, as long as the vendor makes the application and source code available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). If the vendor modifies Audacity, our trademark requires that they call the application something other than Audacity. See our License page for details.

Some vendors sell unmodified Audacity under a different name, or do not give us any link or credit for the software - this is difficult to prevent under the current GPL. If you bought a product and later found out it was Audacity, we encourage you to ask for a refund or file a complaint if you feel you did not get a fair deal. See "May I distribute copies of Audacity?" for what we expect from Audacity vendors.

If you search for Audacity on the Internet, you will often see "sponsored results" that are links to companies selling Audacity (or the right to access it) for money. For example there may be a "free" download but the "small print" will commit you to a paid subscription to buy software or services every month. Or the company may guarantee to supply the "very latest version" when their version is out-of-date, or sometimes the download is really is "free" but carries spyware or viruses.

If the advertisement is provided by Google and does not comply with their terms you can complain about it to Google here. "Audacity" is a registered trademark in the USA and recognised as such by Google, therefore if advertisements on Google.com include "Audacity" in the advertisement or link text you may report this to Google. You can also complain to Google if the advertisement did not "accurately represent the product or service" - please tell Google in what way the advertising was not an accurate representation.

If you paid money by credit card due to a fraudulent advertisement, you may be able to initiate a chargeback with your credit card company. You need to show that the advertising and website you visited was misleading. Generally you should try to sort out a refund with the retailer first, but often they are very hard to contact and there is a time limit of only a few days on requesting a refund.

Audacity can display in many non-English languages. On Windows, the Audacity installer sets the language Audacity displays in, but otherwise the language Audacity uses on first run is determined by the language the operating system uses. As a result you may want to change the Audacity display language.

If you can read the language Audacity is currently running in, it is easy to change to another language. Open the Preferences, then choose Interface from the list on the left. Now choose the specific language required from the "Language" box, then click OK. Most of the Audacity interface will change language at once, but a very few interface elements will change next time you restart Audacity.

Current versions of Audacity work internally with uncompressed audio to permit high quality editing with a wide range of effects. This requires more processing power and disk space than is available on most mobile devices. Also the wxWidgets interface library we use only has limited support for mobile operating systems and small screen resolutions.
