| 34 | + <h2 class="mt-6 text-2xl">What should work</h2> |
| 35 | + <p class="mt-2">We expect the following flow to work reasonably well:</p> |
| 36 | + <ul class="list-disc mt-2 ml-6"> |
| 37 | + <li>Recording, generating and importing audio</li> |
| 38 | + <li>The core editing flow of applying effects (destructive or realtime), making cuts, moving clips and such.</li> |
| 39 | + <li>Exporting (without metadata)</li> |
| 40 | + <li>Customization of the app (themes, and editing/moving the toolbar)</li> |
| 41 | + </ul> |
| 42 | + </div> |
| 43 | + <h2 class="mt-6 text-2xl">What doesn't work yet</h2> |
| 44 | + <p class="mt-2">We haven't completed all development tasks for the full app yet. As such, a lot of features are missing, or appear disabled for the moment. We expect the following things to not work right now:</p> |
| 45 | + <ul class="list-disc mt-2 ml-6"> |
| 46 | + <li>Various menu items and buttons haven't been hooked up to functionality yet, you'll see them greyed out.</li> |
| 47 | + <li>Various plugins – Nyquist, LADSPA and VAMP and the OpenVINO plugins – have not been ported over yet.</li> |
| 48 | + <li>Preferences from Audacity 3 are not carried over.</li> |
| 49 | + <li>Some more advanced features, like envelopes, labels, spectrograms aren't available yet.</li> |
| 50 | + <li>Most effects/generators/analyzers aren't available yet.</li> |
| 51 | + <li>Opening multiple projects at the same time is not supported yet.</li> |

| 59 | + important we hear from you during this early phase. Please let us |

| 83 | + <p class="mt-2">Audacity 4 has higher system requirements than Audacity 3, mostly due to Qt's platform support. We expect Audacity 4 Alpha 1 to work on the following platforms:</p> |
| 84 | + <ul class="list-disc mt-2 ml-6"> |
| 85 | + <li> |
| 86 | + Windows 10 & 11 (x64, but not ARM yet) |
