▲ 567 ▼ Audacity 4.0 is finally out! (www.audacityteam.org) submitted 2 months ago by popcar2@piefed.ca to c/technology@lemmy.world 137 comments fedilink hide all child comments TL;DR this is a huge overhaul of the popular open-source audio editing app. The UI specifically has been the biggest overhaul, making it a lot more modern and friendly to use. Hopefully, one day, GIMP will get some kind of update like this.
