Flagship tour of what's new in Audacity 4.

TL;DR this is a huge overhaul of the popular open-source audio editing app. The UI specifically has been the biggest overhaul, making it a lot more modern and friendly to use.

Hopefully, one day, GIMP will get some kind of update like this.

        i think they should have removed the line on top of the logo and it would look better.

          That’s what makes it look like headphones.

          Or is supposed to. It doesn’t really look like headphones any more. It’s one part knobs, one part volume label (the top shape), and one part pacman screaming at a giant pill.

            my proposal would make it look like a person listening to a speaker
            it currently looks like my proposal but with a line above a person and the speaker

      I complained to the maintainer about this a year ago. Ofc, they are free to ignore my complaints but ppl not liking the logo redesign is not news to them

      I outright hate it. For all of Tantacrul’s plugging on about design, he really dropped the ball, split his pants bending over for it.

      Yeah the older logo may have looked dated, but I think what I would have done is get rid of the yellow glow behind the waveform and flattened a blue headset with a red wave between, not whatever liberal arts major bullshit this is.

      What, you don’t like minimaalist slop that’s being shoved up into your ass left and right as part of our post-modernist lackluster culture that’s totally not been invented by the fascism?

          It absolutely it, it’s a modernist essence that has never been properly ejected from postmodernism, and as a result, taken it over. Minimalism as a term never under modernism, because there was no need for it, it was just the regularity of it.

          Mininalism is a rotten leaf that remains of the fascist aesthetics that is modernism.

            That’s like saying that the essence of windows wasn’t ejected from a house.

            As for your other claims, you should look into the concept of touching grass, it’s pretty cool. Clears the head wonderfully.
