audacity v3.7.5

I've gotten a nice present with the recent version of audacity as presented in MX Linux my desktop distro of choice. The latest is version v3.7.7 just wait for the version the current one on in MX Linux is v3.7.5.

This version has new file format based features, which of course means the data files are not backward compatible

features since v3.6

  • Master effects

  • Audacity has master effects! Master effects are effects which apply to the entire project at once. More information can be found at Audacity Support: Using master effects & realtime effects.

  • New compressor / limiter

  • A new compressor and limiter have been added, replacing the previous versions.

  • A gain reduction history has been added to these effects when they’re used as a realtime effect.

  • Factory Presets suitable for a wide range of use cases for these effects have been provided by Vladislav Isaev and Marek Iwaszkiewicz, available via the Presets & Settings button.

  • New themes

  • Audacity has new and improved dark and light themes.

  • switch between themes via Preferences -> Interface.

  • The theme previously used still is around as Classic theme, and themes even older than that can be optionally installed as custom themes.

  • Updated instructions on creating custom themes can be found here [link]

  • Increased performance

  • Audacity is now quite a bit snappier than before, especially when working on larger projects and on larger screens.

BUGS

Audacity has a long standing bug which is a buffer overflow error when you want to edit projects larger than 100 hours.

What happens is that the cursor loops at exactly 99:59:59 hours back to 00:00:00 hours effectively making editing beyond 100 hours impossible.

work around

What I do is simply record past the rollover, do everything live, meaning make no mistakes and chop the project into pieces if something has to be edited in post production. It's an annoyance but it works

I currently have a project which is aimed at 120 hours. I will keep you posted on the bug

Gemini

Thanks to user at end I started to use the Gemini protocol to read web pages. The first thing I loved about gemini browsers is that they are built with

Unix philosophy

  • originated by Ken Thompson
  • set of cultural norms and philosophical approaches to minimalist, modular software development
  • based on the experience of leading developers of the Unix operating system

Early Unix developers were important in bringing the concepts of modularity and reusability into software engineering practice, spawning a "software tools" movement. Over time, the leading developers of Unix (and programs that ran on it) established a set of cultural norms for developing software; these norms became as important and influential as the technology of Unix itself, and have been termed the

The Unix philosophy

The Unix philosophy emphasizes

  • building simple, compact, clear, modular, and extensible code
  • it can be easily maintained and repurposed by developers other than its creators
  • The Unix philosophy favors composability as opposed to monolithic design.

Clients

On Android I have chosen buran, a gemini open source browser

  • Elegant and fast even on low ram Androids
  • Light footprint

On Linux I have chosen amfora an Open Source {ba{c{k{z{fi}}}}}sh client which is simple and fast

Amfora features

  • multi tabbed
  • build for simplicity
  • works smooth & fast
  • low ram foot print

There is also lagrange a GUI client which looks interesting but I haven't installed yet

Thank you @ghalfacree for using the protocol in your posts
