Software Update: Audacity 2.2.2

Version 2.2.2 of Audacity has been released. Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, this open source audio editor can record sound, import and export wav, aiff, ogg, and mp3 files. It has an unlimited undo function and also has a large collection of effects on board, such as fade-in and fade-out, echo, tempo change and noise reduction. More effects can be added easily as the program supports both vst and ladspaplugins. In version 2.2.2 features include improved zooming, recording errors can be detected when the processor is overloaded, and several bugs have been fixed.

New in Audacity 2.2.2:

• Easier zooming in and out with mousewheel, new Zoom Toggle command, and context menu for vertical rulers (thanks to James Crook)
• Easy access to change keyboard bindings of menu commands by holding Shift key
• Detection of dropout errors while recording with overburdened CPU
• Half wave display option

Changed in Audacity 2.2.2:

• Improved contrasts in Light and Dark themes
• Extra menu consolidates Ext-Bar and Ext-Command menus that were introduced in the previous 2.2.1 release
• Several bugs/annoyances in 2.2.0 are now fixed, most importantly:
• Multiple use of “Save As” to the existing open project will not result in data corruption/loss
• Exporting audio in compressed formats to device with insufficient space will not produce inconsistent/truncated results
• Fuller details on the changes since 2.2.1 can be found in the 2.2.2 Release Notes.
