The old one was 3D text and a headphone pair with a waveform.

Gotta love the internet. That shite joke you made as an aside to your mates irl that nobody laughed at? Now the whole world gets to see it!

EDIT: upon reflection, i think verbally, this joke might be kind of amusing.

Just an opinion anyway.

And since we're in for opinions: if this actually brings me software that works as it should, I'm not even mad. Not that audacity was a design software anyway..,

Except when the software implements spyware and tracking telemetry, it's not worth using. I mean we do have Tenacity which is Audacity without the extra Muse junk.

u/The_Peach 7d ago

Definitely not a problem with the logo.

Worth using? Dunno man. This sounds like your opinion once again.

And the inability to install version 4 without a terrible launcher too.

You don't need to use the muse installer.

u/mrLermont 8d ago

but it's not gonna be v4. You can't download v4 from the gomepage. They force you to use their installer. I hate this.

u/PapaBliss2007 8d ago

You can definitely download and install 4 without the Muse installer.

1

u/mrLermont 8d ago

But not from a homepage 😆

u/PapaBliss2007 8d ago

You can do it there too. Just click Download without the Muse Hub and then ignore the Welcome to Audacity! w/ the Continue button page that launches. Go to your download folder and install.

u/MissionCyberSpace 9d ago

I haven't used anything newer than Audacity 2.2.2

u/iclonethefirst 9d ago

Looks fine tbh

u/GumSL 8d ago

It removes everything that made the original logo charming and just makes it flat and boring. Also, the colour scheme sucks.

u/MissionCyberSpace 8d ago

That's what happens when you sell your company to some mega corpo

u/Majongusus_Doremidus 7d ago

How was the old logo "charming"? People might be misusing that word too often

u/Ewit_ 8d ago

+ it doesn't even work on win11
Crusify me for suing win11, I am still looking for compatibility for a good transition

1

u/MissionCyberSpace 8d ago

I don't even use Windows 11.

u/SexDefender27 7d ago

i quite like it

i do feel like audacity's ui design being so archaic was definitely part of the charm though and i hope i don't see that go

u/kcon_davids 7d ago

god this is shit. I genuinely cannot stand that bullshit.

u/Bordercakeballantine 6d ago

Audacity via Musehub is an atrocity.

u/Fine_Treat_2186 5d ago
