Pending Feature Requests

This locked page is for the use of sysops to transfer feature requests from the Audacity Forum and other sources. They will be reviewed and where appropriate transferred to the Wiki Feature Requests page.

• ability to import WAV files from Adobe Audition, and take the Cart Chunk data, and create the "header" data for the audio file.

• Automatic track alignment - shift the target track around and subtract it from the source track. Keep the alignment that minimizes this distance. More sophisticated implementation: a scale-invariant distance measure, such as the cosine distance and dynamic time warping, which can "stretch" parts of one track to align better with another.

• Ability to output to file/label the time location of the cursor.

• New draw tool to change the curve draw not dot by dot but a range of dots like a "brush size" or like the "LIQUIFY" tool in Adobe PhotoShop where the size of the brush can be set to reach the numbers of dots it will make effect over.

• An automated way to perform actions/effects on labeled sections (tracks) individually, rather than working a track at a time.

• Audacity will sometimes open up and run under the wrong operating system. That should never, ever happen. E.g. There is an Intel version of Mac Audacity and there is a Motorola version. One of them will open and seem to run on the wrong computer creating all sorts of "magic" problems. The problem we see most is downloading and installing the correct lame and have it fail because the actual Audacity is wrong.
