I’m currently on 3.7.3 having gone back to it after 3.7.4 was such a disaster.
And I use this just to digitise and clean up old vinyl from time to time.
I see there are now 2 further updates, since 3.7.4.
What do people recommend I go to? 3.7.5 or 3.7.6?
thanks for the advice.
I am still using 3.6.4 on Sequoia and Sonoma, and 3.5.1 on High Sierra. I do not see any necessity to get a newer version just for digitising tapes and vinyls. I think, even 3.7.6 would run on High Sierra…
The old MacBook Air with High Sierra is connected to my stereo equipment and records what I want. Then, I take the recording to my iMac (Sonoma) to do the editing and splitting to individual tracks. My current MacBook Air with Sequoia is used whenever I need to do other things / at other places where my “standard equipment” is not around.
What made 3.7.4 such a disaster?
couldnt split tracks. kept crashing. it was a pig, and as was recommended by others who had issues, to bin it and go back to 3.7.3
I’ve not had those issues with any of the 3.7.x versions, so I don’t know what to recommend. If you are happy with 3.7.3 then stick with it.
The changelog for 3.7.x is here.
Are you saving the projects? Have you saved any projects in 3.7.x? Will you be wanting to open those projects again? I ask because projects created with 3.7.0 or later cannot be opened with earlier versions.
No I dont really save projects, as all I am doing is digitising and cleaning before exporting MP3s so I can listen to some classic records on my MP3 player when I am out and about. Or via stream in the garden via my WiiM.
OK, since you are not saving projects so you can downgrade to any version you like. Or stick with 3.7.3.
Thanks, but not really my question.
I just wanted to know if 3.7.5 or 6 is worth upgrading to or are they as buggy as 3.7.4
Sorry to complicate things. As I said, I’ve not experienced the problems you’ve described, so I can’t really say if 3.7.5 is better than 3.7.4. Both have worked fine for me.
I’d suggest you try 3.7.5 and if it doesn’t work for you, go back to 3.7.3.
You can keep multiple versions on your computer. Just rename your current Audacity to “Audacity 373”, etc.
3.6.2 here. If you get this incredible urge to update to the Latest and Greatest, haunt the forum first and see what kinds of problems people are having.
Correct me, but 3.7.4 was the one that had troubles opening Projects (shows).
That’s a problem.
