This page is an overview of the key new functionality that has been introduced in Audacity 2.2.0
Details of all the major changes since 2.1.3 can be found in Audacity 2.2.0.
The logo has been given a refresh, and now uses a sans-serif font and a flatter style.
Audacity now comes supplied with four pre-configured, user-selectable, themes. This enables you to choose the look and feel you prefer for Audacity's interface. see the Themes page for details.
Light theme: this is a light theme loosely based on the look and feel of earlier Audacity versions, but given a contemporary twist with more modern-looking buttons and icons.
Dark theme: created by the This is similar to the Light theme, with the same buttons and icons, but given a dark twist.
Classic theme: The one you know and loved. This theme is a re-creation of the look and feel of earlier Audacity versions.
The theme to use can be chosen at Edit > Preferences >
Playback of MIDI (and Allegro) files imported into is now available. Please see the page for more details.
This should just work on Windows but for playback on Mac and Linux additional software may be required, see on the page.
But note that there will no use of the while Note tracks are played.
There is a new entry in the for Display samples. This setting changes how and views are displayed. It only affects the appearance of the waveform when you are so far zoomed in that you can see the individual sample dots. At lower zoom levels it makes no difference.
Stem plot: This is the default setting which draws a vertical line from the track center line to the sample dot, giving a clearer impression of the relative amplitude of the samples. As seen in the images below, when zoomed out close to the minimum for a stem plot, the horizontal distance between sample dots may be more uneven than seen with the connect dots default.
Connect dots: This is alternative setting yields a waveform where each sample dot is connected to the next sample by a line drawn between them.
Uneven spacing is due to "aliasing", but zooming in further will equalize the spacing whether choosing Connect dots or Stem plot.
We have made the Menus shorter and clearer than in previous Audacity versions. The menus have been simplified without losing functionality. The most commonly used functions are found in the top levels of the menus. The functions moved down into lower submenus are better organized.
This is not just a rearrangement. We also added new menu items to make the layout more logical. There are new menu items for exporting as MP3 or WAV. Previously you had to export audio, and then choose the format. You still can do that, but these new items are there for convenience.
There are two new additional menus that are hidden by default. They can be turned on at View > or the Interface pane of Edit > .
These extra menus have many extra less frequently used commands. They are particularly useful to VI users, but normally-sighted users may find them useful too.
Image of the Extended Menu bar as it appears on Windows
From Audacity 2.2.0 onward the default recording mode has changed so that when you click the Record button on , or use the R, Audacity will record at the end of the currently selected (or only) track.
If you hold the Shift key down the Record button in will temporarily change to . Then clicking on this modified Record button, or using the shortcut Shift + R will cause Audacity to create a new track and begin recording on that track from the current cursor position (or from the left edge of a region on the ).
Many places in the user interface have had a help button ? added. Examples are all the Preferences dialog panes, all the Effects, Generators and Analyzers and some error messages.
Clicking on that button in the dialog will link you to the appropriate page in the Manual.
Example: the Amplify effect. Try clicking on the "?" at the bottom right of this image.
For Audacity 2.2.0 we have reduced the number of preset shortcuts in the application to a "" set. We did this to simplify the set of shortcuts somewhat and to provide greater flexibility for users who want to set their own custom shortcuts.
You can choose to revert to the full set of shortcuts that were in 2.1.3 and earlier by selecting "Full" from the dropdown menu accessed from the Defaults button in the dialog.
You can use the Defaults button to switch between the two provided default sets of shortcuts at any time.
See for more details.
There are now four available settings in the Selection and Audio Position Boxes in for the manner in which the details of your selection are displayed:
Start and End of selection: the start time and the end time of your selection (default setting)
Start and Length of selection: the start time and the length of your selection
Length and End of selection: the length and the end time of your selection
New commands, all of which interact with the clips on the focused track. As yet, there are no default shortcuts:
Transport > Cursor to >
Transport > Cursor to >
Select > Clip Boundaries >
Select > Clip Boundaries >
We have now provided an error trap for situations where you are running out of available disk space.
You will now see the error message: "Audacity failed to write to a file in <device>"
This is particularly useful when recording as Audacity will stop recording when the error is trapped, preserving your recording up to that point.
This page gives an overview of further new functionality that has been introduced in this release of Audacity.
- detailed release notes for this release of Audacity
Audacity 2.2.1 was released on 6 December 2017.
See the New features in Audacity 2.2.1 page for more information about improvements and other changes.
You can optionally change the colorway of the waveforms displayed in your project. The setting is per track and not per project so you can have multiple colorways in the same project as in the image below.
Four colorways are available with the color selection made from the dropdown menu in the track's Track Control Panel.
When we made the menu changes for 2.2.0 we introduced an entry into the File menu called "Save Other" which led to a sub-menu for exporting various audio formats.
Many users were confused by this change and found it hard to find where they could export audio from. So for 2.2.1 we have changed that menu entry to be File > Export.
We fixed a bug on Mac that caused Audacity to crash with certain Chain files. Plus we fixed another Mac bug whereby opening a second project from Mac's Finder produced a second inaccessible instance of Audacity.
Audacity 2.2.1 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. To check what SSE levels your CPU supports, you can install . If your hardware only supports SSE, you may download Audacity 2.0.6 see the page on the Audacity Website.
2.2.0 does not officially support Windows XP.
Audacity 2.2.1 is for Intel Macs running OS X 10.6 and later and macOS. There are legacy versions for older OS X at .
Linux support is tested on Ubuntu Linux.
Audacity may compile on Gentoo, Debian, Mint.
Audacity does not currently compile on SuSE Linux.
See our for much more detail of issues with Audacity 2.2.1.
Timer Record may not reliably stop the recording on some machines. The Elapsed and Remaining Time counters may stop counting. In this case it will be necessary to force quit Audacity.
On a few affected machines, the problem can be avoided if you leave focus on Audacity or ensure it has focus when recording is due to end.
PulseAudio is not reliable when used with Audacity on Linux. Playback or recording may freeze, recording dropouts or fast playback may occur when using PulseAudio.
Freezes may be caused by repeatedly starting and stopping playback or recording in quick succession (or by holding down the Play or Record button).
Workarounds: Try launching Audacity from the terminal with the pulse latency set to 30 ms in an environment variable:
env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 audacity
If you get underruns noted in the terminal, try a higher number in the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC command. If the problem is unchanged, try a lower number.
Alternatively, bypass pulseaudio by setting the playback and recording device to an ALSA (hw) choice in Device Toolbar. More help with this can be found here.
The timing of notes during MIDI playback may sound erratic on some machines. Optimizing the system for low latency MIDI playback can help to reduce the inaccuracies.
Far less of Audacity is properly accessible to visually impaired users than we would like. Currently the best supported platform for accessibility is Windows. We lost a lot of custom accessibility programming when we had to move to a more recent version of the wxWidgets library. A lot more detail about accessibility limitations can be found
We track these and many other bugs in our 'bugzilla' database.

The Ext-Command menu provides access to extra commands for track focus and movement of the editing or playback cursor that are not available in the default Audacity menus. These will be of most interest to visually impaired users or those who have difficulty using the mouse.
Shortcuts can be assigned to these commands if required.
Four Selectable themes provided, with new 'Light' theme as default, plus option to customize
Many menu changes:
Menus Reorganized
Extended menu bar provided
New keyboard commands for working with clips
Help buttons ? in Preferences, Effects, Generators and Analyzers - and other places
Non-Greying out of effects when no selection (and explanatory dialog with help button)
Playback of MIDI (and Allegro) files imported into Note Tracks is now available.

Stem plots
Major overhaul to documentation/manual including many new images and streamlined text on landing pages for in-program help.
Append-record is now the default (use Shift + Record for old behavior, to record on a new track)
The Esc key now cancels all click-and-drag actions. It also chooses among overlapping mouse click targets, which is especially useful in the Multi-Tool.
Sync-Lock button removed (use menu item or keyboard shortcut instead)
New preferences and preference pages
Overhaul of much code:
Overhaul of envelope handling code to deal with some anomalies
Overhaul of exception handling for greater safety
New Logo
Major work on bug fixing. 198 bugs that were in 2.1.3 fixed for 2.2.0.
The most serious bug fixed this time round was bug 437 which was about what happens when Audacity is recording and runs out of storage.
Most of the bugs fixed were more minor, such as which was about a case in which the numbering on the timeline could display incorrect times.
For those who really have to know, the list of bugs fixed in 2.2.0 is here.
Audacity 2.2.0 requires the CPU to support the SSE2 instruction set which should be available on any Intel hardware produced after 2001 and any AMD hardware produced after 2003. To check what SSE levels your CPU supports, you can install CPU-Z. If your hardware only supports SSE, you may download Audacity 2.0.6 see the Legacy Windows page on the Audacity Website.
2.2.0 does not officially support Windows XP.
Audacity 2.2.0 is for Intel Macs running OS X 10.6 and later and macOS. There are legacy versions for older OS X at http://audacityteam.org/download/legacy-mac/.
Linux support is tested on Ubuntu Linux.
Audacity may compile on Gentoo, Debian, Mint.
Audacity does not currently compile on SuSE Linux.
See our list of issues for much more detail of issues with Audacity 2.2.0.
If you use File > Open to "open" an audio file (WAV file or MP3 file say) the file will import properly but only the first few seconds of it will be shown (the default zoom level), but more importantly the horizontal scroll slider will be missing from the scroll bar, meaning you can't access the remaining audio.
All you need to do do is press the Play button or any of the Zoom buttons in the Edit toolbar and the horizontal scroll slider will be restored.
The best way to avoid this happening is to use the File > Export command to import the file into an Audacity project. All that the File > Open does with an audio file is to Import the audio into an open empty project, or if you already have an active project it will open a new project and import the file into that project.
Timer Record may not reliably stop the recording on some machines. The Elapsed and Remaining Time counters may stop counting. In this case it will be necessary to force quit Audacity.
On a few affected machines, the problem can be avoided if you leave focus on Audacity or ensure it has focus when recording is due to end.

The timing of notes during MIDI playback may sound erratic on some machines. Optimizing the system for low latency MIDI playback can help to reduce the inaccuracies.
With Sierra 10.12 and High Sierra 10.13 opening a second project from Mac's Finder produces a second inaccessible instance of Audacity. If you already have an Audacity project open, and attempt to open a second .AUP from within the Finder window (whether by double clicking, right-clicking for Open on the pop-up menu, or typing Cmd-O) or by right-clicking on the .AUP file and using Open With, the second project attempts to open in a new instance of Audacity, visible in Apple’s Dock bar at the bottom of the screen. This second instance of Audacity will not be accessible and you will need to Force Quit it.
Workaround: Use Audacity's File > Open command to open the second and successive projects.
Far less of Audacity is properly accessible to visually impaired users than we would like. Currently the best supported platform for accessibility is Windows. We lost a lot of custom accessibility programming when we had to move to a more recent version of the wxWidgets library. A lot more detail about accessibility limitations can be found here

This page is an overview of the key new functionality that has been introduced in Audacity 2.2.1
Details of all the major changes since 2.2.0 can be found in .
2.2.1 is a very light release, basically a maintenance release, with one new exciting feature added. Plus we wanted to experiment with shorter release cycles.
You can optionally change the colorway of the waveforms displayed in your project. The setting is per track and not per project so you can have multiple colorways in the same project as in the image below.
Four colorways are available with the color selection made from the dropdown menu in the track's Track Control Panel.
When we made the menu changes for 2.2.0 we introduced an entry into the File menu called "Save Other" which led to a sub-menu for exporting various audio formats.
Many users were confused by this change and found it hard to find where they could export audio from. So for 2.2.1 we have changed that menu entry to be File > Export.
Release 2.2.1 is mainly a maintenance release. Soon after the release of 2.2.0 we discovered some problematical bugs in Audacity:
Bug #1767 - Opening a second project from Mac's Finder produces a second inaccessible instance of Audacity
Bug #1770 - Crash applying certain chain files
Bug #1783 - Preview fails when selection extends before zero
- Auto-scroll stopped working in 2.2.0
- Using File > Open to import audio gives wrong zoom level and no scroll bar slider
Audacity 2.2.1 - detailed release notes for this release of Audacity
We have added dropout detection for this release.
Dropout detection is controlled from a setting in Recording Preferences called "Detect dropouts".
When this setting is "on" (default setting) Audacity will detect dropouts (brief gaps in the recording) and will insert zeroes into the recording to keep the other good parts synchronized. These silent spans will make the dropouts more obvious, but keep the duration of the recording correct.
Dropouts may be caused by a disk drive that cannot keep up with the recording. This can happen, for example, with a slow USB or network drive, or if antivirus software is slowing writing to disk, or if other activity on the computer is slowing the computer down.
When recording stops, a Warning message box alerts the user and a label track, called "Dropouts", is added showing the lost parts, labeled with consecutive numbers.
For this release we have improved the way zooming using your mouse wheel works and provided a new Zoom Toggle function.
This is particularly for users who zoom in and out a lot, e.g. when using the Repair effect to do detailed work removing clicks in the audio.
We have changed mouse wheel zooming so that the focus for the zoom is:
With the mouse pointer outside the selection, the leftmost or rightmost edge of the current selection, (if a selection exists).
Mouse pointer position will be used as the zoom focus if the mouse position is inside the current selection, (if a selection exists).
If no selection is present, zoom focus is as it was before and is taken as the mouse pointer position.
We have introduced a new command, Zoom Toggle, accessed by a new button or by (shortcut Shift + Z).
Zoom Toggle toggles between two pre-defined zoom levels. These presets are user selectable in Tracks Preferences.
Defaults are normal Default Zoom level and 4 Pixels per Sample (which shows a fraction of a second of audio as samples)
Either of the two presets can be changed in Tracks Preferences using the dropdown menus.
Tracks Preferences showing Zoom Toggle selection dropdown for Preset 2
There have been some changes to Vertical Zooming.
We have introduced a context menu for the Vertical Scale. This is activated by right-clicking in the Vertical Scale - see Simple mode vertical zooming for details.
Left-click, and drag, in the Vertical Scale remain available as a user-selectable option - see Advanced mode vertical zooming for details.
You can turn on advanced mode for vertical zooming from Edit > Preferences > Tracks Behaviors and selecting Advanced Vertical Zooming.
The Extra menu, created from consolidating Ext-Bar and Ext-Command menus that were introduced in the previous 2.2.1 release.
In dark theme, the change in appearance of sliders when you hover over them is greater than before.
In light and dark themes, buttons such as 'pause' and 'pin' now highlight when you hover over them and they are down. Previously there was no visible change.
The hover effect for buttons when they are up has been changed to work better in conjunction with this change.
In dark theme the microphone and speaker icons are now brighter and not dulled as they were before.
For menu commands that are enabled (not grayed-out) if you hold the Shift key and click on the sub-menu item, instead of executing the command the Keyboard Preferences pop open at the chosen command. You can then change that (or any other) shortcut binding.
Interface Preferences has been upgraded so when selecting languages the proper spelling of these languages is shown with accented and special characters.
The Index page in the Manual has been upgraded - so that now any item that can be clicked on/through in the front page imagemap now has a corresponding text entry in the index (this is primarily as an aid to VI (Visually Impaired) users)
Additionally the Index has been divided into alphabetic sections to aid readability.
Multiple use of "Save As" to the existing open project can result in data corruption/loss
Crash undoing during record, using Discard button of History window
Exporting audio in compressed formats to device with insufficient space produces inconsistent/truncated results
In Export Multiple, Cancel does not remove the file that is in progress when Cancel is chosen
Unicode page encodings fixed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(Mac) Equalization: "Telephone" curve displays a flat line, no sound on Preview
Toolbars: open undocked if previously not shown, unless Reset Toolbars first
Analysis effects that create labels should give focus to label track
Control value may be out of range when using FloatingPointValidator
Analysis effects produce false indication that a label is open for editing
Import Uncompressed File Dialog Incorrect Reference to Menu Item
Wave Color not grayed out in TCP dropdown menu when in Spectrogram view
Hover indication on note track channel toggle appears on all tracks (when they rerender)

used to be a button in the edit toolbar. Now instead you enable or disable it from Tracks > Sync-Lock Tracks.
This should make it easier for users to avoid setting Sync-Lock on by accident by inadvertently nudging the button.
Left-clicking on a will delete the clip line, merging the two neighbouring clips.
Now if you hover over the Clip line and press and release the Esc key you can then click on the clip line and select from there by dragging, without deleting the clip line and merging the clips.
The cursors on Mac used to be 16x16 pixels. Now they are higher resolution and use 32x32 pixels.
Buttons in the track control panel now highlight when hovered over. The thumb on sliders now highlights when the mouse is over it.
The Esc key now cancels all click-and-drag actions. It also chooses among overlapping mouse click targets, which is especially useful in the Multi-Tool.
The default behavior now for and for edits requiring a selection is that if you click on them without a selection, a dialog now shows explaining that you need to make a selection. Here an attempt to apply Fade effect was made without first selecting some audio.
The colors of the are now customisable using custom . This can give greater clarity to the spectrograms. In the example below the high intensity greens stand out better than the reds in the standard spectrogram.
Previously created special 'Left' and 'Right' tracks. Now splitting creates mono tracks, panned left or panned right. Below is a screenshot of a stereo track split into two tracks, one panned left, one panned right.
Major overhaul of the Audacity manual, including more work on clickable images.
The in the manual have more extensive tooltips and more clickable areas.
Over 300 new or modified images for this edition of the manual.
