- Clips can now overlap and be freely moved around the timeline, improving flexibility compared to the previous version where clips could not pass each other without cutting and pasting.
- New features include the ability to split clips for easier rearrangement, refreshed clip envelopes, updated built-in effects, and a revamped home screen for better project organization.
- The interface has received a significant redesign with customizable themes, aligning Audacity’s look with other Muse products like Muse Score and Audio.com.
- This major update transforms Audacity from a clunky, free audio editor into a more powerful and modern digital audio workstation (DAW), enhancing its usability and appeal.
