Today I took a first look at Audacity 4 since it just entered public beta phase, so I wanted to see what’s new and improved in this long-anticipated upgrade of one of the most popular open-source audio editors.
I just remembered that I’ve been using Audacity on and off for about 20 years now. It’s always been the go-to program whenever I needed to trim an audio file or glue two tracks in one, or just extract a sample from an audio track. For me, Audacity was highly effective and reliable for this specific use case.
Work on Audacity 4 kicked off about one and a half years ago, in October 2024, but a first alpha version was made available for public testing only a year later, in November 2025, and one of the most exciting things is the beautiful and modern interface using the Qt application framework instead of wxWidgets.
