Audacity 1.3.6 Beta [ MacOS ]

Audacity LogoOur buddies over at sister blog Download Squad gave us a heads-up this morning about a new release of Audacity, the open source, cross-platform audio recording / editing application.

Audacity 1.3.6 (Beta) for Mac has new features added by students during the Google Summer of Code 2008:
  • Support of WMA, M4A, and AC3 file formats
  • Import of audio from video files
  • On-demand loading of uncompressed files, eliminating the wait before files can be edited
  • Linked audio and label tracks, so labels move with their corresponding audio when cutting, pasting, or changing speed or tempo
  • A hierarchical plug-in grouping for built-in plugins
Experimental features include:
  • Sound activated recording
  • MIDI file import, edit, and export
As always, Audacity is free. Click here to head over to the download page, and remember that this is betaware.
