Audacity 3.6 Now Available
Muse Group has announced upgrades to Muse Hub and Audacity, making it easier for users to preview and use new sounds, loops and FX plug-ins. As before, both of these are free to download.
Audacity 3.6 has been given a visual refresh, and the software also gets a new master channel. New compressor and limiter effects have been added for you to put across it. We are informed to expect more “major improvements and features” in the upcoming Audacity 4.
Muse Hub has partnered with developers — including Solid State Logic, Baby Audio, ACE Studio, WavTool and others – to offer a variety of production tools, including:
- Standalone Apps: From accessible Muse Group favorites to AI music composition and podcast production tools. These include apps that transform MIDI into vocal parts or split recorded samples into MIDI stems for projects.
- Plug-ins: Compatible with Audacity or any third-party DAW, Muse Hub plug-ins range from virtual instruments to easily-tweaked effects.
- Muse Sounds: Designed for effortless, beautiful playback within notation apps MuseScore Studio, find unique editions of prestigious sample libraries from iconic sound designers Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, Vienna Symphonic Library and more.
- Loops & Samples: Royalty-free and ready-made samples, sound effects, tracks and kits to drop directly into productions to create instant hits.
New apps in the updated Muse Hub include Ace Studio, Samplab and WavTool, all of which are powered by AI.
Ace Studio enables you to automatically turn MIDI and lyrics into a complete vocal track, which sounds impressive, while Samplab can change an audio sample’s key or break apart the stems.
WavTool is an “AI-powered DAW” that can generate audio and separate stems. It also comes with a library of presets.
On the plugin side, Muse Group’s own AmpKit guitar amp//effects studio is now part of the Muse Hub, and Baby Audio’s Crystalline has also been added. The inclusion of SSL’s VocalStrip2 also catches the eye.
Finally, there are new sounds: a special edition of Spitfire Audio’s Symphony Collection, cinematic sounds from Cinesamples and orchestral ensembles and soloists from Orchestral Tools.
Audacity 3.6 has also been updated to support the Muse Hub changes.
In addition to a long-awaited visual refresh, the free desktop app now includes a new master channel for adding production and effects to tracks.
Both Muse Hub and Audacity are both available now as free downloads.
