Where is the Audacity Intel 64-bit installer? I put it on my office machine on July 22nd, and carefully saved the installer.
I tried to put it on my laptop just now from fresh download and it doesn’t seem to be available any more. Worse, I tried the Muse Hub connection and my Mac XProtect service kicked into high gear, the laptop fans picked up steam, the “Memory Pressure” headed to the moon, and the heat started to rise…
I could have gone all day without that.
Shut down (sip coffee) and start over. I brought the saved installer over from the office machine, installed it, and Tools > Reset Configuration. Badda Bing, Badda Boom. We’re done.
What the frog is going on?

The macOS installers are here:
You have your choice of: the installer with MuseHub, universal binary dmg, ARM 64 dmg (Apple Silicon), and x86_64 dmg (Intel).
I downloaded the MuseHub installer and all it does it download a DMG where you can drag and drop the Muse Hub application into your Applications folder.
From within the Muse Hub app you can download their various apps (free and paid), including Audacity. It detected that I already have Audacity installed and the green button changed to “Open” and the drop-down menu offers to “Uninstall”.
So, to make a long story short, I don’t know why Xprotect freaked out on your laptop, because I can’t reproduce the problem.
Writing that down.
When I did it. It looked like that, but with a shorter list. I’ve been burned trying to install the “Universal” installer. It has to say Intel®.
The laptop is being carefully inspected for odd behavior.
Thank you,

In another thread one of the devs pointed out that the “universal” installer just contains both installers, and installs the version for your hardware. If you look at the download sizes this makes sense.
Oops. You can’t see the DMG sizes there, but you can see them here
audacity-macOS-3.6.1-arm64.dmg 24.4 MB
audacity-macOS-3.6.1-universal.dmg 52.4 MB
audacity-macOS-3.6.1-x86_64.dmg 26.3 MB
I guess the only advantage to the hardware-specific installers is if you really do live at Land’s End and have a dial-up connection. 
Any time I’ve tried to do that, The Universal gets half-way through the confirmation or certification step and stops dead. Running the Intel installer sails straight through. What’s supposed to happen?
There’s a story behind that picture. That’s the Dockweiler Beach RV Park roughly even with LAX Runway Two-Five Left.
It is said that the only major accident where LAX dropped a plane into the water, the lifeguards were the first rescuers on the scene.
I parked at a turn-out and walked back up the beach bike path to the park. It really looked like that. It was one of Southern California’s rare stormy days. I may have touched up the clouds a bit, but I didn’t have to add any.
Against all odds there was one ratty-looking RV by itself with the Pacific in the background. I looked when I got back and there are places at Land’s End that could be dropped right in there and nobody would know.
It was March 2017.
So that became the Audacity Land’s End World Headquarters.

OK, so if you start from the beach, that’s LAX Runway 7 Right.
Since most of the wind comes in from the Pacific, most flights go right to left and not left to right.
In spite of their best efforts, this airport is still pretty LAX.

That was then (shoestring volunteer dev and support team), this is now
Audacity World Headquarter is now wherever Muse Group lives.
Great photo, BTW. Nice to know the background and location.
