Audacity 4 Beta 1 Sandbox Testing and 2 More Bugs
Join me as I continue to use Audacity 4, Beta 1 as a sandbox to explore what’s new and any limitations or bugs. In this video I discovered 2 more bugs:
- The space bar has no affect on the playhead. I can’t start/stop playback using the spacebar. I also can’t stop recording using the spacebar. Go to 13:37 in the video to see this.
- I can’t drag and drop an existing audio file into this version. I found out after recording this video that Audacity 4, Beta 1 is preventing me from dragging and dropping any file into any other program. I had to close Audacity before that would work. Go to 23:02 to see what happened.
Have you had a chance to use the Beta 1 version yet? If so, what have you discovered? Let me know in the comments.
Audacity 4 Alpha Preview
Let’s see what the Alpha build of Audacity 4 can do. In this video I explore some of the new product features in this build of Audacity 4 as well as discover a few bugs. Bugs are to be expected in an Alpha build of any software and there are a few in here that need ironed out. Come with me as I delve into this version of Audacity and see what it will do and what’s new so far!
At about the 12:30 mark in this video, my mouse pointer disappeared. I could still see it but it disappeared from the video. I hope that’s not too much of a distraction.
Audacity Version 4: Living in the Wait
This video is a thank you to all of you as I’ve passed the 9,000 subscriber mark! I’ve had this channel for 5 years now and the growth has been steady and consistent and I have you to thank. I’m also at a crossroads with this channel as I wait for version 4 of Audacity which I hear is coming out this year. So I’m asking for your input: is there a topic you would like me to teach that I haven’t covered yet or that you would like to see explained or demonstrated in the current version of Audacity (3.7.4)? Let me know in the comments and again, thank you!!
