Hi, my name is Martin Keary and this video,  

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,560
I'm going to take you through the major new 
features we've introduced in Audacity 3.2.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,520
For those who use Audacity for audio production, 
such as podcasters or voice over artists,  

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,200
we're proud to announce that Audacity 
now supports real-time effects for  

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,320
VST, audio units, LV2 and LADSPA.

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,080
For those not familiar with the power 
of real-time effects, let me explain:  

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,640
in previous versions, if you applied an effect 
to a track, it would altered the audio in a way  

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,280
that couldn't be modified later. If you were 
unhappy with the effect you applied and wanted  

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,240
to change it, you'd need keep undoing until it 
was removed and then reapply the effect again.  

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,480
This limited Audacity's effectiveness for 
larger projects containing multiple tracks,  

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:48,720
where it's only natural to need to tweak 
effects throughout the production process.  

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,560
But now, with the addition of real-time 
effects, you can make changes at any point.

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,120
To apply them, simply select this Effects 
button, which opens a sidebar that lets you  

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,240
specify the effects you want to use. And if 
you want to add effects to a different track,  

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,080
just select it and the sidebar will 
update accordingly. Using this sidebar,  

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,400
you can rearrange effects, mute them or 
remove them at any point in your project.

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,200
If you are new to the world of real-time effects, 
this option to 'get more effects' will take you  

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,840
to our new online manual, where we've provided 
links to some of the most popular free plugins.  

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,280
All you'll need to do is install them 
and they'll then appear in this list.

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,520
In combination with non-destructive editing, 
which we included in our last release,  

21
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,040
Audacity is now a highly capable 
and powerful audio production tool.

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,840
Apart from realtime FX, you'll notice that we've 
also done some work to tidy up the interface too.  

23
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,760
Many of the audio settings which were displayed 
in these dropdowns have been combined into one  

24
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,400
Audio settings button and we've combined these 
four components for metering and volume settings  

25
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,520
into two smarter components 
that take up far less space.

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,840
And if you look closely, you'll see another new 
feature that we're proud to introduce to Audacity:  

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,080
the ability to share your audio files 
for free, using our new online service:  

28
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,280
audio.com. This feature allows you to quickly 
export and share your audio using a special link.

29
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,160
With these new capabilities, Audacity can now 
be your one-stop solution for recording audio,  

30
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,320
polishing projects and sharing your work with 
others. And we're only just getting started.  

31
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,160
There are many more major improvements 
coming to Audacity very soon. If you want

00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,160

00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,840
Thanks very much and take care!
