Audacity 2.2.1 Release

After the previous big update, it's no surprise that another release follows shortly after.
Release notes are here.

The big news for those writing instructions is that File > Save Other has changed back to File > Export

And you can now change the waveform colour...

I wonder if they fixed what made "ReplayGain" plug-in permanently disabled on High Sierra 10.13... Worked on Windows, though.

I'm finally playing around with this newest version of Audacity now that I have a new computer (non-macbook! so different!), and one thing I can't seem to figure out is getting the 128kbps option when exporting.... it doesn't seem to show up for me. it just shows intervals higher than that-- starting with "Medium, 145-185kbps" and going on up to "Insane, 320kbps"

am I missing something?

Oh dear, that is disconcerting. Perhaps we should check out the forums at Audacity.

Yes, you're missing the correct "Mode" setting. Make sure it is "Constant".

aha-- I think I figured it out. I was overlooking the tabs for "pre-set" "variable" and "constant" bit-rate modes. under constant, I can put in the right setting. hurrah!
