I just made an account to comment this. In the effort to make audacity more streamlined and flashy an “app like” with project splash screens and cloud integration, removed a feature that was pretty damn important to a lot of work using audacity as a catchall versatile multipurpose audio editor: opening .raw files.
Why?
How could this have been overlooked?
Please bring it back.
I really appreciate how sleek and cool things look now, and the ease of use is astounding, but why release a major version with something so fundamental to the identity of the app not implemented?

It’s coming.
Audacity 4 is missing many features from AU3. Most of them will be added as time goes on.
My advice is to stick with Audacity 3, check in now and then with Audacity 4, and make the switch only if and when AU4 meets your needs.
