Audacity 3.6 Open-Source Audio Editor Released with Master Effects, FFmpeg 7 Support
Coming almost three months after Audacity 3.5, the Audacity 3.6 release introduces master effects, which are effects that apply to the entire project at once, a new compressor and limiter effects that feature gain reduction history when they’re used as a real-time effect, and new and improved dark and light themes.
This release also adds support for the latest and greatest FFmpeg 7 open-source multimedia framework, support for pasting audio files into Audacity using Ctrl+V, a new ‘Export Selected Audio’ in n Extras > Export option, support for offsets larger than 2 GB, and an option to the View menu to show/hide RMS in waveforms.

Audacity 3.6 Add Master Effects, New Compressor & Limiter + More - OMG! Ubuntu
Audacity 3.6 introduces support for master effects. These adjust the sound of project as a whole (the ‘master mix’ composed of all individual tracks and any realtime effects applied to them) and, usually, done as the final stage of editing prior to export.
Brand new Compressor and Limiter effects are included in this update to Audacity, along with a set of handy presets the developers say are applicable to a wide range of use cases. Gain reduction history is also available when using them as realtime effects.
Audacity 3.6 improves its appearance with revamped light and dark themes, though the old theme remains available, now called ‘Classic’, and users can switch via the Preferences > Interface pane.
