Audacity 3.7.5 Adds Beta Support for Windows ARM64
Quoting: Audacity 3.7.5 Adds Beta Support for Windows ARM64 —
Audacity, a free, cross-platform open-source audio editing and recording software used by hobbyists, podcasters, musicians, and professionals alike, just released version 3.7.5, solving one of the app’s longest-standing pain points on modern Windows laptops.
More specifically, this update introduces beta ARM64 binaries for Windows 11, meaning folks running Snapdragon-powered machines—think Surface Pro X or Lenovo’s Slim Pro 9i—can finally skip the sluggish x86 emulation layer and run Audacity at full speed.
However, there’s something important that must be taken into account: VST2, VST3, and OpenVINO plugins won’t load on this build just yet, and Muse Group is still gathering feedback before calling the port production-ready.

Audacity 3.7.5 is the latest in the 3.7.x series of maintenance releases launched last year. Major new features are not the focus, only (still welcome) fixes and tune-ups to improve usability and stability.
For avid audio makers and avowed fans of Audacity, the decision to focus on refinement is a welcome one, if only for the reduced risk of inopportune crashes wiping away hours of work.
