Millennial Irish! Remember rubbish nightclubs in the 2000's, which played the same music every Saturday? I'm trying to compile a list of the most commonly played songs during this period (eg. "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)" by the Proclaimers). Throw some names at me!

One of the last major features to port from Audacity 3 to Audacity 4 - label tracks. This feature is a monster... but we're almost there.

1. The video I'm currently working on covers the pretty large subject of dance music (EDM, electronic music, etc). As part of this, I'm roving around a lot to soak up experiences outside my comfort zone of London, Brussels, Paris & Berlin.

Although Audacity was always going to have ASIO support (via a more complex route), this move from Steinberg has just made it a lot simpler. It's a great thing to see.

Fun times. It's going to be a busy week 🙂
For those wondering, this is exactly the reason I wanted to soft-launch the branding: to give me time to deliver the feedback to the creators. Beyond that, I'm incredibly pleased by the reaction to my own team's work.

Now that we're about 2/3rds way through development, I thought it would be a good time. A nice way to get feedback on ideas early. Runtime - around 50mins.

MuseScore Studio 4.6. Here's a little preview of a new system we've added that lets you manually hide staves.
So glad we've finally got this change in. MSS was unfinished without it. Now, our focus will be on major big things for 5.0.
