Things have been moved around in the user interface in the recent versions of Audacity. While some options look like they’re gone, they’ve just been relocated. So let me show you a few of the changes.

Let’s clean up and de-clutter the Audacity user interface by removing unused toolbars. This will free up valuable space that will give us more room for editing our tracks, while giving us a cleaner look at user interface while working.

Someone recently commented on one of my previous videos asking how to fix low noise floor in a project for ACX audiobooks. While the noise floor needs to be less than -60dB to meet ACX requirements, there cannot be silence in your recording. In this video I show you one way to raise your noise floor if it’s too low to meet ACX standards using Audacity.

In this short video I show how to edit your audio in Audacity non-destructively. Non-destructive editing was introduced into Audacity several versions ago and it’s a powerful tool to use because it enables you to go back to your original project file and make changes to your edits even after you’ve saved and closed the project. As Audacity progresses deeper into this mode of editing and realtime effects, it’s just going to get better and better. Links in this episode:

Reducing the amount of noise in a track is important for clean audio. Now that we have the ability to do it via realtime effects, it can be done non-destructively. But not everyone is on board with using realtime effects yet so I want to take a few minutes to show you how to apply the Noise Reduction effect that comes packaged with Audacity.

Without much fanfare Audacity version 3.2.1 is out and among other fixes, includes a fix for the missing ffmpeg file for M1/M2 Mac users. Here’s a link to the fixes in this version of Audacity.

Plus the Device Toolbar lives! You just need to unhide it if you want it back.
