Forgive an ignorant question...
Earlier this year, on the advice of several other posters in this forum, I migrated from Audacity 1.2.x to 1.3.13 beta. Should I now migrate to 1.3.14, or wait until it becomes 2.0?
Thanks in advance...
When to go from 1.3.13 to 1.3.14?

Audacity 1.3.x is now obsolete. Please use the current Audacity 2.1.x version.
The final version of Audacity for Windows 98/ME is the legacy 2.0.0 version.

And a much improved version of the Normalize effect.
In all versions of Audacity 1.3.13 and previous Audacity's normalize effect works in a manner not common in most other audio software, in that its amplification operates on each channel of a stereo pair independently. Now while this is useful if you have unbalanced equipment as it helps to even out the channels - if you have good balanced equipment then Normalize operating in this manner can alter/damage your stereo image. Which is why for 1.3.13 and earlier we used to recommend the Amplify effect in preference to Normalize.
For 1.3.14 the developers have changded the Normalize effect so that it (by default) operates on both channels of the stereo pair identically - but there is an option to select individual processing of the channels if required.
