Download Audacity 1.2.6 stable

While we had to wait six months for a new beta version, it has been more than a year since a new stable version of Audacity has seen the light of day. Audacity is a multi-platform open source audio editor. It can record, edit and save audio in wav, aiff, ogg and mp3 format. It has a large number of effects on board as standard, including fade-in and fade-out, echo, tempo change and noise removal, and because of the support for both VST and LADSPA plugins it is easy to expand further. Version 1.2.6 ships with the following release notes:

Known Problems

• Audacity can import and display MIDI files, but cannot play or edit them.
• Linux: Recording in full duplex (playing existing tracks while recording) on ​​some systems causes mono recordings to sound distorted or low-pitched. To work around this problem, set Audacity to record in stereo.
• MacOS X: Audacity cannot work with files or folders that are contained inside folders with non-English characters (accents, symbols, etc.) in their names. Files with accented characters work, and Audacity projects with accented characters work. Only folders with accented characters in their names will cause problems.

Changes in Audacity 1.2.6

• Fixed memory leaks on Windows.
• Corrected font size problems.
• Enabled missing FLAC support.
• Fixed Mac OS X (PPC only) screen redraw issues.
