Updating from Audacity 2.x to Audacity 3.x

With the release of Audacity 3.0.0 the project file structure of Audacity was changed significantly with the entire project contained in a single unified database file.

If you have already updated to 3.0.0 you should already be aware of this.

But if you are updating from any earlier 2.x Audacity version please read Updating from Audacity 2.x to Audacity 3.x.


Display of Track Name

A new command has been added to the View menu, View > Track Name (on / off).

When this is enabled the audio track name is displayed superimposed translucently at top left of all audio tracks.

Note that the track name is always shown in the Track Control Panel but will be truncated if the name is too long to fit.
