Audacity 3.6.2 Audio Editor Adds Legacy Effects Section, Fixes Multiple Bugs
Audacity 3.6.2 is the second patch release of Audacity 3.6 adding a new “Legacy” effects section that contains the old Limiter, Compressor, and Classic Filters, moves the time track range to a single dialog, and reverts the behavior of selection change when importing an audio clip to the previous behavior.
As mentioned, this is mostly a bugfix release, addressing lots of issues like the disappearing pitch indicator on Linux when hitting double digits, missing zero line, a hang after undoing, envelope appearance for clips offset from 0, and broken track header UI when resizing channels in a stereo track.

Those who prefer (or just more used to) the original Limiter, Compressor and Classic filters can access them in Audacity 3.6.2 from the new “Legacy” effects section. They’re available to use with new and existing Audacity projects.

Audacity 3.6.2 Released With Multiple Bug Fixes
Audacity 3.6.2 contains a whole raft of bug fixes that stabilize series 3.6 for the user. In addition to bug fixes, Audacity 3.6.2 introduces the “Legacy” section containing all the classic filters, compressors, and old limiters.
This update fixed all the problems users posted on Audacity’s GitHub page. The new update fixed all the basic problems of labeled audio operation issues, screen hanging while clicking on undoing the changes, and crashing of the application after recording in the long session.
Some problems were also present in the 3.6 series, related to cut and paste of clips, which can reset sometimes. So, all the issues are resolved in the new update. Just cut the clips, which will be available on the clipboard, and their names remain the same even after pasting the clip.
