Spectrograms in Audacity 4 are almost complete. Gosh, we're really getting there now.

Millennial Irish! Remember rubbish nightclubs in the 2000's, which played the same music every Saturday? I'm trying to compile a list of the most commonly played songs during this period (eg. "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)" by the Proclaimers). Throw some names at me!

I'll be giving a keynote talk about Audacity / MuseScore and open source design in Strasbourg next Thursday, 27th November. Last talk of the year. devfest.gdgstrasbourg.fr/speakers

One of the last major features to port from Audacity 3 to Audacity 4 - label tracks. This feature is a monster... but we're almost there.

1. The video I'm currently working on covers the pretty large subject of dance music (EDM, electronic music, etc). As part of this, I'm roving around a lot to soak up experiences outside my comfort zone of London, Brussels, Paris & Berlin.

YES!

Although Audacity was always going to have ASIO support (via a more complex route), this move from Steinberg has just made it a lot simpler. It's a great thing to see. www.steinberg.net/developers/a...

For anyone in London not busy tomorrow, my favourite dance music promotion, PM:AM, is on. Quite unique melodic, progressive techno. The community is the best part about it tho. Incredibly friendly, so if going solo, you'll be welcomed! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pmam-fluid...

PM:AM - FLUID

FLUID is here: rooftop, indoor liquid-light visuals, friendly community with the best of prog & melodic techno.

Audacity 4 update. I created this short to describe another really important improvement we've just included. youtube.com/shorts/qzoQZ...

Fun times. It's going to be a busy week 🙂 For those wondering, this is exactly the reason I wanted to soft-launch the branding: to give me time to deliver the feedback to the creators. Beyond that, I'm incredibly pleased by the reaction to my own team's work. www.theverge.com/news/792368/...

If you can get past the terrible logo, Audacity 4 looks pretty great

Over 25 years Audacity has gone from simple audio editor, to a UX nightmare. If you can get past the terrible logo, version 4 looks like it might fix that.

New video is OUT! - How We're Building Audacity 4 youtu.be/QYM3TWf_G38?...

Our new release: MuseScore 4.6 is out now! This is an enormous release. Have a look and let me know what you think! youtu.be/J2gY9CbMuoI?...

My new video - How We're Creating Audacity 4 - is now available early on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/how-we...

Next video out in 2 weeks: How We're Making Audacity 4. Now that we're about 2/3rds way through development, I thought it would be a good time. A nice way to get feedback on ideas early. Runtime - around 50mins.

While we enter the final stages of our Alpha 1 release of Audacity 4, I thought I'd share this simple little improvement.

One of the developers on Audacity, Matthieu Hodgkinson, gave a talk about how he created our automatic tempo & time signature detection system at the Audio Developer Conference last year. They've just uploaded the talk which I've linked to below. youtu.be/yMbewdnupwU?...

Behold, a nice little text editing widget, which lets you input special characters more quickly. Out in around 1-2 weeks (MuseScore 4.6)

MuseScore Studio 4.6. Here's a little preview of a new system we've added that lets you manually hide staves. So glad we've finally got this change in. MSS was unfinished without it. Now, our focus will be on major big things for 5.0.

One of our partners: halbestunde.com is currently looking for an experienced product designer. It's a contract / remote role. If you are interested, email info.tantacrul@gmail.com. Musical BG is useful but not essential. Please include a portfolio of your work.

if @tantacrul.bsky.social ever does a video on the ux of fl studio i think this would be a solid thumbnail candidate

Many have asked for a release of the 'Ooh Finale' song, so I've popped it up on a few streaming services. Enjoy!(?) open.spotify.com/album/1Yku74...

ICON HELP NEEDED FOR AUDACITY 4! I seem to be creatively challenged at the moment. Perhaps the community can come to the rescue?

Metering improvements in Audacity 4, which features quite a few requested improvements. Larger video about the overall design coming soon!

Audacity is looking for audio engineer (C++) to join our team. Please share with any developers you know who might fit the bill. Salaries are discussed at the outset of the hiring process. Apply here: www.mu.se/careers/audi...

A little update on how Audacity 4 is progressing. We've just about completed all the core editing work now and I wanted to demonstrate some of the workflow improvements we've included. Let me know if you'd like more little updates like this.

Cool! A new ruling is now forcing Apple to give more flexibility to services (like Patreon), so they can't skim 30% off the payments made to creators 🙌 www.theverge.com/news/659246/...

A judge just blew up Apple’s control of the App Store

The judge called Apple’s insubordination a “gross miscalculation.“

For anyone in Berlin who is interested, I'll be speaking again about Open Source design at WeAreDevelopers in July. My slot is late afternoon on the 10th. www.wearedevelopers.com/world-congress

Thoughts on Dorico 6? About to upgrade later today and give it a spin.
