Changes and improvements since previous version

Audacity 3.1.3 is a patch release for Audacity 3.1.

It improves the following aspects:

  • Added snap guides when resizing clips

  • Added new shortcuts for looping: Shift+L for "Set Loop to Selection", Shift+Alt+L for "Clear Looping Region"

  • Added a new selection region indicator in the timeline (identical in function as the one found pre-3.1, but with updated visuals)​

  • Changed error messages to look less like a crash report

  • Re-added the Quick Play indicator (green triangle and line) that got lost during 3.1.0 development

  • Fixed Play-at-speed not updating the playback speed dynamically

  • Fixed looping regions being created unintentionally when attempting to use Timeline Quick Play

  • Fixed looping sometimes playing the wrong audio

  • Fixed a bug that could cause data-loss when joining multiple clips

  • Fixed scrub preview visibility

  • Fixed a bug when trying to locate FFMPEG manually

  • Fixed a glitch with Loop Playback

  • Fixed a crash and a macOS-specific bug when renaming sync-locked clips using a dialog box. ,

  • Fixed a crash when releasing a clip handle

  • Fixed a freeze when closing Audacity with the logging window open

  • Fixed a crash when loading a saved project using certain compilers

  • Fixed a crash on paste after running macros

  • Fixed a crash when cancelling a nyquist prompt

Supported Platforms

Windows

  • 3.1.x does not support Windows XP.

    • You may try 2.2.2 on XP, but it is unsupported.

macOS / Mac OS X

  • Audacity 3.1.x is for Intel Macs running OS X 10.7 and later and macOS.

Linux

  • Linux support is tested on Ubuntu Linux.

    • Other Linux distributions should work, but aren't tested by the Audacity team.

Audacity 3.1.x requires the CPU to support the instruction set which should be available on any Intel hardware produced after 2001 and any AMD hardware produced after 2003.
