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

The brand renames a lot of love. The violent reaction can be particularly strong if you give a plastic surgery for a piece of programs that are loved by loved contracts by obsessive all over the world. Therefore, it was not surprising that when AudCity revealed its new slogan on the Internet, it was done a little. See, there are no two ways on this topic, the logo is very bad. The line is very nice, but the baffled icon on the traditional headphone icon is harsh.

Reactions about freedom The newsroom included “it seems that someone is entering the Apple music icon”, and “trying to determine whether its new slogan is similar to sperm, and often suffered yes.” But if you can bypass the brand, AudCity 4 actually seems to be an upgrade that is intense.

Martin Kerry, Vice president of the Product in Moss, released a long video clip on YouTube, which in detail shows the challenges facing boldness, the logic behind changing the design, and updates on the development of version 4 (scheduled for the release in early 2026). One of the biggest improvements is to reduce what Keari “” Audacity says “No.” These are things that do not simply allow you to do so, often without any explanation other than a simple popup (if you are lucky).

If you want to pull a clip via another clip, it hit it like a brick wall. no. If you copy a clip and try to paste it where there is not enough empty runway, no. You don’t have enough space. If you want to select multiple clips … no.

Cleaning this involves changing the behavior of the user interface, such as reducing a clip automatically if you paste something over it, and get rid of a group of “situations” that shorten how you can interact with the sound. The team also added a meter to individual paths, making trimming and easier time to find it (just click and withdraw the edge of the clip), adding a division tool that makes the sound cleaning a little easier.

Some users may be upset that the Sync Lock feature will disappear, but, since a long -term user, I can confirm it is a confusing chaos. Working with and saving multiple sound paths in Sync is a difficult challenge, but the proposed proposed in version 4 is more logical (for me at least). Add to this most customized modern interface that is much easier to read, and it appears that AudCity 4 seems to be actually formed to be a big step forward for a powerful audio editor. Let’s just hope to reconsider the brand before the appropriate version in 2026.
