Upgrade to newest version

Post by JonLap » Sat Jan 05, 2019 10:52 pm

Hello,

I am currently running Audacity 2.1.3 and want to upgrade to the newest version.

Is there anything unique I have watch out for in doing this upgrade? II am assuming my current 2.1.3 .aup and data files will function with the newest version.

Please advise.

And thanks!

Jon

Thanks Steve! I do see the improvements that were added.

And my older Audacity files will be compatible with this new version?
