Hello. Version 2.6 is the latest and runs fine in windows 7 32 and 64 bits, and from what they say in the wiki, it’s perfectly compatible with windows 8 and 8.1.

It’s very fast. Stan B Technology has been out of our control since the first cave man smashed his finger with a stone ax.

When I used it on my xp machine, it was fast. But now its practically a pain in the rump to use because it runs so slow on this system. Has this happened to anyone else running windows 8.1 with audacity 2.5? Mike Rochester, NY.
