Audacity 3.0.4 was released on 24. Aug 2021.
Audacity 3.0.4 replaces all previous versions.
This is a hotfix release that fixes a bug with envelope points, which could multiply uncontrollably and cause Audacity to crash. In particular:
- #1476: Envelope points are multiplied when using Filter Curve EQ or Graphic EQ
- #1477: Filter Curve EQ will crash if there is an envelope point outside of the selection
This fix re-introduces an earlier, but way less destructive bug:
- bugzilla 208 / #1500: Some effects delete Envelope Control Points, or do not move them when timeline changes
Other than that, this release is identical to Version 3.0.3.
Windows
- Audacity 3.0.4 requires the CPU to support the SSE2 instruction set which should be available on any Intel hardware produced after 2001 and any AMD hardware produced after 2003.
- To check what SSE levels your CPU supports, you can install CPU-Z.
- If your hardware only supports SSE, you may download Audacity 2.0.6 see the Legacy Windows page on the Audacity Website.
- 3.0.4 does not support Windows XP.
- You may try 2.2.2 on XP, but it is unsupported.
macOS / Mac OS X
- Audacity 3.0.4 is for Intel Macs running OS X 10.7 and later and macOS.
- There are legacy versions for older OS X at http://audacityteam.org/download/legacy-mac/.
Linux
- Linux support is tested on Ubuntu Linux.
- Other Linux distributions should work, but aren't tested by the Audacity team.
