Audacity 3.7.4 is a patch release for the Audacity 3.7 series, fixing a crash that occurred when closing a large unsaved project, an issue where the Studio Fade Out feature created a new clip when it was applied at the end of a video clip, and a crash that occurred when using real-time effects that activate delay compensation.

This release also fixes a bug that led to the unintended deletion of video clips when joining two clips with pitch adjustment, incorrect waveform rendering on clipped audio, possible incorrect calculations in the Hamming window derivative, and compilation issues on legacy macOS systems.

• Audacity 3.7.4 Patches Critical Crashes and Rendering Issues

  The popular open-source audio editing software Audacity has just released version 3.7.4, a patch update that squashes bugs and smooths out the user experience.

  The update fixes a crash that could occur when closing large unsaved projects, as well as another that popped up when using real-time effects with delay compensation.

  Beyond stability improvements, the update also irons out some workflow quirks. For instance, applying a Studio Fade Out at the end of a clip no longer creates an unwanted new clip, and joining two clips with pitch adjustment won’t accidentally delete one of them.
