This isn't needed by mostbut would be useful in case the.zip were lost. I'll be checking in some changes to correct loading FFmpeg libs on the Mac and to ease loading on Linux. Thanks, Leland! But can you say what exactly the users are supposed to do with it once they have unzipped - put the entire 'Libraries for Audacity.pkg' in their Audacity installation folder? There's no README in there, and a.gz inside the zip after extraction, so I'll wait to hear from you before doing the FAQ. I understand the purpose of the Build.tar.gz and what's inside OK.

It's a standard Mac install package. Once unzipped, the user just double clicks the 'FFmpeg Libraries for Mac.pkg' file and it invokes the installer. See here: Leland.

Audacity for Mac is a powerful audio editing tool that surpasses default OS X tools. The downsides are a dated and sometimes clunky interface and a cumbersome installation process. Pros Powerful and robust feature set: Audacity is loaded with audio editing, recording, and exporting tools that work in tandem with Mac's multimedia capabilities. Free with regular updates for diverse uses: Audacity is a free, regularly updated tool with solid support from the developer. This means a solid core that works far better than some other free software suites in the same category, and a good alternative to somewhat limited tools like GarageBand.

Cons Interface is dated and sometimes clunky: While Audacity's feature set delivers, it looks and feels a little dated compared to more modern software. In most cases this is purely aesthetic, but finding certain menus can be cumbersome in some circumstances.

Bottom Line If you need a powerful, free audio editing tool for your Mac, Audacity is a great tool with which to start. While the interface could use some updates, you'll still get the bang you're looking for in your audio project. Audacity is a free audio editor. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and more. Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings. It also has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications.

Built-in effects include Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal, and it also supports VST plug-in effects. Reply by Klodfone on August 12, 2015 Installation: Do NOT run Audacity from the DMG!!!! Permanent link to this post Posted by Gale Andrews » Wed Nov 06, 2013 6:05 pm Mac downloads of Audacity are at If you obtain the DMG of Audacity please install Audacity properly thus: Double-click the downloaded.dmg to mount it. Drag the 'Audacity' folder from the newly mounted.dmg to the 'Applications' icon underneath 'Places' on the left of Finder. Do not double-click the 'Audacity' folder to open it and drag only the Audacity icon to /Applications. The Audacity application must be kept inside the Audacity folder at all times. You can instead copy the 'Audacity' folder to any other location of your choosing.

Eject the.dmg in the 'Devices' section on the left of Finder, then launch the Audacity application from the 'Audacity' folder that you copied. If you do not follow the above steps you will have multiple problems. You will be warned that 'Critical Nyquist files. Full Specifications What's new in version 2.1.0.

Effects:. LADSPA, VST and Audio Unit (OS X) effects now support real-time preview, save/load of user presets and saving effect settings across sessions. Note: Real-time preview does not yet support latency compensation. VST effects now support import/export of FXB preset banks.

Shell VST effects that host multiple plugins are now supported. All Effect Menu items (built-in or plugin) can now be used in a Chain. Items in the Effect, Generate or Analyze Menus can be sorted or grouped by name, publisher or class of effect. Noise Removal is improved and renamed to 'Noise Reduction'.

Change Speed has new time controls for current and new length. You can now enter the speed change as a multiplier e.g. '2' is twice as fast. New 'Crossfade Tracks' effect can be used for crossfading two tracks. This replaces Cross Fade In and Cross Fade Out. Nyquist Prompt and most shipped Nyquist effects now have Preview button. Interface:.

Redesigned Meter Toolbars: The default shows separate Record and Playback Meters, half-height so they can be wider while docked, in gradient style. A frequency selection can now be made (and spectral edit effects applied to those frequencies) when in a spectrogram view. You can also create or adjust frequency selections in a new 'Spectral Selection Toolbar' (available at View Toolbars). Transcription Toolbar (Play-at-speed) can now loop play and cut-preview.

Timer Record now saves recordings automatically into an existing project. New Armenian translation. Operating system and sound device support:. (Windows) Audacity 2.1.0 requires Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) or XP SP2 (64-bit), Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1. (Windows) Audacity is now compiled using Visual Studio 2013.

(Windows) Recording with WASAPI host now includes experimental support for physical inputs (up to 24-bit depth) as well as loopback recording. (OS X) 10.10 (Yosemite) is now supported including Apple Audio Units. (Linux Ubuntu) Under Unity, keyboard shortcuts are not visible in the Audacity menus. Keyboard shortcuts are visible if you install the classic GNOME Flashback interface or under Unity if you open Audacity with the UBUNTUMENUPROXY=0 environment variable.

Audacity Re: Audacity-devel Ffmpeg Libs For Mac Pro

Audacity compiled from source will ship with src/audacity.desktop.in set to UBUNTUMENUPROXY=0 but it will remain up to distributions to use this desktop file. Bug Fixes. Interface:. Typing 'j' or 'k' in a label track activated the 'move cursor' shortcut. Spectrogram log (f) view displayed incorrectly until vertically zoomed.

Fixed crash after zooming out on vertical scale beyond +/-1.0. Selections made with Selection Toolbar were not restored after Undo. Undo could fail silently if a selection included/touched a clip boundary. Imports and Exports:. If there were invalid FFmpeg libs in system PATH this prevented Audacity recognising the installed FFmpeg or the FFmpeg specified in audacity.cfg.

Mac OS X:. Fix uninitialized buffer - this should correct playback buzz or crackle where the upper of multiple tracks started with or contained white space. Device names were corrupted when using system language other than English. Fixed crashes using (external program). Waves v9 Audio Units should now work correctly.
