【文章正文】: Audacity 4.0 Audacity 4.0

Audacity 4 rebuilds the application interface on Qt and introduces many new quality-of-life improvements, including a new clip-editing model. Most Audacity 3 workflows remain available, but some controls have moved or changed. Audacity 4基于Qt框架重构了应用界面,带来诸多体验优化,包括全新的音频片段编辑模式。虽然Audacity 3的大部分工作流程得以保留,但部分控件位置和功能有所调整。

Editing clips 音频片段编辑

  • Clips can be selected directly. Click a clip header to select it, or Shift-click to select multiple clips.
  • 支持直接选择片段:点击片段头部进行单选,Shift+点击可多选
  • Several clips can be edited together. Moving, trimming and time stretching apply to all selected clips.
  • 支持多片段协同编辑:移动、裁剪、时间拉伸等操作可同时作用于所有选中片段
  • Clips can be grouped. Groups remain together when moved, copied, pasted or duplicated.
  • 新增片段编组功能:组内片段在移动/复制/粘贴/克隆时保持整体性
  • Clips can be placed more freely. They can move between mono and stereo tracks. Moving a clip over another replaces the overlapped part instead of blocking the move.
  • 更自由的片段放置:可在单声道/立体声轨道间移动,覆盖其他片段时会替换重叠部分而非阻止操作
  • Splitting has a dedicated tool. Press or hold S , then click the waveform or clip header. Split, split-cut, split-delete, split at silences and split to a new track are also available as commands.
  • 独立分割工具:按S键后点击波形或片段头部,支持常规分割/分割剪切/分割删除/静默分割/分割至新轨道等操作
  • Paste handles more cases automatically. Audacity can create a track when needed, adapt compatible channel layouts and paste audio files from the operating-system clipboard.
  • 智能化粘贴:自动创建轨道、适配声道配置,支持从系统剪贴板直接粘贴音频文件
  • Alignment guides, sample-boundary snapping and per-project snap settings have been added or expanded.
  • 新增/增强:对齐参考线、采样边界吸附、项目级吸附设置

Interface and tools 界面与工具

  • The interface has been rebuilt on Qt, with native high-DPI rendering.
  • 基于Qt框架重构界面,原生支持高DPI渲染
  • Toolbars and panels can be moved, docked, floated, shown or hidden.
  • 工具栏和面板支持移动/停靠/浮动/显示/隐藏
  • UI layouts can be saved as Workspaces. Audacity includes Modern, Classic and Music workspaces.
  • 界面布局可保存为工作区,预设现代/经典/音乐三种工作区
  • Light, dark and high-contrast themes are available, along with accent colors, track colors and several clip styles.
  • 提供浅色/深色/高对比度主题,支持强调色/轨道色/多种片段样式
  • The new Home screen shows recent projects with preview thumbnails.
  • 全新首页展示最近项目及预览缩略图

The separate Select, Envelope, Draw and Multi-tool modes have been removed. Their functions are now context-sensitive: 取消独立的选择/包络线/绘制/多工具模式,改为情境敏感操作:

  • Volume envelopes are displayed in the Clip gain mode.
  • 音量包络线显示在片段增益模式中
  • Sample drawing becomes available when the waveform is zoomed to individual samples.
  • 波形放大至采样级别时启用采样绘制
  • Splitting is available by holding S .
  • 长按S键启用分割功能
  • Track and effect parameters use consistent rotary controls with fine adjustment and double-click reset.
  • 轨道与效果参数采用统一旋钮控件,支持微调及双击重置
  • Sync-Lock has been removed. Delete, cut and paste now have explicit variants for either leaving a gap or moving later material to preserve timing.
  • 取消同步锁定功能,删除/剪切/粘贴操作现提供保留间隙或移动后续素材的明确选项

Playback and recording 播放与录音

  • The playhead remains visible during navigation and can be dragged to a new position.
  • 播放指针在导航时保持可见,支持拖拽定位
  • Playback can seek to another position without stopping.
  • 播放中可直接跳转至其他位置
  • Recording can start anywhere on the timeline and creates a clip at that position.
  • 支持时间轴任意位置录音并即时创建片段
  • Loop boundaries and the interaction between playback, selections and loops have been revised.
  • 优化循环边界设置及播放/选区/循环的交互逻辑
  • Punch and Roll, lead-in recording, latency compensation, software playthrough and per-track input monitoring have been rebuilt for the new interface.
  • 针对新界面重构穿插录音/预录/延迟补偿/软件监听/单轨输入监听功能
  • Audio Setup now includes system-default devices, refreshable device lists and custom channel mapping. Audacity can follow operating-system device changes automatically.
  • 音频设置新增系统默认设备/可刷新设备列表/自定义声道映射,自动跟随系统设备变更
  • Official Windows builds include ASIO playback and recording support.
  • 官方Windows版本支持ASIO播放/录音

Tracks, meters and effects 轨道、仪表与效果

  • Track headers now contain live playback and recording meters.
  • 轨道头部集成实时播放/录音电平表
  • Preset handling is consistent across built-in, destructive and realtime effects.
  • 内置/破坏性/实时效果器的预设管理保持统一
  • Built-in effects, generators and analyzers have been rebuilt for the Qt interface.
  • 为Qt界面重构内置效果器/生成器/分析器
  • Supported plugin formats are VST3, Nyquist, LV2 on Linux and Audio Units on macOS. Audacity can display generated controls when a plugin’s own interface is unavailable.
  • 支持VST3/Nyquist/LV2(Linux)/Audio Units(macOS)插件,在插件无界面时可生成控制面板
  • Spectrogram has been redesigned with clearer guides and rulers, and faster rendering.
  • 频谱图重新设计:更清晰的标尺参考线,渲染速度更快

Projects, import and export 项目、导入与导出

  • Audacity 4 uses the new .aup4 project format.
  • 采用新版.aup4项目格式
  • .aup3 projects open and convert to.aup4 without changing the original file. Converted projects cannot be saved back to.aup3 .
  • .aup3项目可无损转换为.aup4格式(原文件保留),转换后不可回存
  • Older .aup projects can be imported.
  • 支持导入旧版.aup项目
  • Project files store preview thumbnails and Audacity 4’s additional clip and appearance data.
  • 项目文件现存储预览缩略图及新增的片段/外观数据

And last but not least, we had the audacity to change the Audacity logo. 最后同样重要的是——我们大胆更新了Audacity的Logo

Compatibility notes 兼容性说明 The following Audacity 3 features are not available in Audacity 4.0, but we’re working on adding them in future releases. 以下Audacity 3功能暂未包含在4.0版,将在未来版本中逐步添加:

  • Time Tracks
