These effects can be placed onto tracks via a new Effects button in the Tracks menu, and adjustments are also non-destructive, allowing users to make changes without the results being permanently written into the original audio file. The company say that this latest update to the popular open source software marks an important step in Audacity’s transition from an audio recorder and editor into a fully fledged DAW by introducing features such as real-time effects support, non-destructive editing capabilities and VST3 support.Ī key feature of the update is that effects can now be adjusted in real time, allowing for edits and changes to be carried out whilst audio is playing back.
