Good news: We already have designs for most of the things you've got on your wishlist! We can't promise anything in particular yet for 2024 (3.6 and 3.7 planning hasn't happened yet), but if you had to narrow down your list to 3 items on here, which would it be? Aside, some of the jank you've ran into has a backstory: * Vertical meters currently only really work if you have the meters undocked from the main UI. Then you actually can size them to be properly vertical. The sliders in them don't behave very nicely though... * The strange choice of realtime effects comes from realtime preview-capable effects, which were introduced as early as Audacity 2.1. Converting the typical workhorse effects (EQ, compressor, limiter, noise gate, etc) is definitely on the to-do list, but surprisingly difficult For the loudness normalization, I don't think it's possible to convert it to a realtime effect as it requires knowledge of the whole file to do its thing. That said: Normalizing in the export window sounds like it'd make sense.
Thanks for the reply and the info. I guess my top 3 things would be 1) Saving FX chains, 2) Saving a track template, and 3) Selecting specific interface mic/instrument inputs per track for multi-track recording. Thanks!
Hi Mike, thank you very much for your very good knowledgeable videos. I the wishlist for 2024 I would like to see drums brought in for music production. It is very sadly missing. Thanks again Mike. Regards, Ernie.
Is it just me or is this just a list of complaints of what Audacity doesn't have that his other DAWs -- yes, he uses other DAWs -- do have? I don't record in Audacity, I only edit in Audacity, and the editing experience for me is better than Audition and Reaper. However, if I needed to do multi-track recording I would probably record with Reaper and then edit with Audacity (because it's so stinking fast to edit in Audacity, especially for the most common edit I have: select a chunk of audio and mute it on Guest #3's track who didn't mute his mic while the main podcast host was talking). Technically this is a destructive edit but for silencing someone who should have muted their mic I **want** to destroy that original info. Audacity is a fantastic product for what it is. If their goal is to compete directly with Reaper or Audition it would be handy to fork the project and leave a tool out there for those of us who just edit and don't record.

Great ideas! If anyone is considering Mike's course don't hesitate. I did & it's well worth it!
Merry Christmas y'all!!!
I agree 100% with your wishlist.
I love your list!
Thanks D.R. I hope some of it gets done soon.

midi? vst instruments?
I wish Audacity will work like Voicemeeter for live podcast.

My first wish for Audacity: multithread.
I wish you could record with auto tune while recording
Get with the times: you cannot call anything "Master" anymore.
