Audacity, the brilliant open source audio editing program for PC, Mac and Linux has just had a major upgrade. The new Audacity 2.0 has been given some major new features and improvements which should delight casual and professional users alike. For starters, the developers have upgraded the effects section considerably, which should make it much easier to get the kind of audio result you want.
As well as new keyboard shortcuts, you can also make use of a new input and output toolbar as well as a mixer board with VU meters. Coo! And there’s even a new Vocal Remover for those of you who are karaoke fans, or instrumental freaks, whatever floats your boat. Overall a very worthy upgrade and well worth the wait.
