Version 2.2.1 removed Leveler and now MUTED TRACKS UN-MUTE THEMSELVES IF I SOLO ANY FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. This has not changed in 2.2.2 I could handle you removing solo-ing multiple tracks at once, but NOT the un-muting of tracks that I manually muted. They shouldn't un-mute unless I hit instruct them to, yet there they go: making a huge sound mess after I was inspecting something and working on it SO THAT I CAN ACTUALLY MIX THINGS PROPERLY. Honestly, why did you remove the actual usability of such a basic tool? Why even keep it as an option if in the end it means nothing? AT LEAST ADD AN OPTION FOR IT TO BE OF USE IN USER PREFERENCES The rest of the software is pretty much exactly as it used to be. There's really no big improvement other than visuals. Which personally idgaf about even half as much as I do about being able to actually mix.

It amazes me people download this malware infested version, when the real Audacity is hosted on their own website. Can people not read that this is a "mirror"?

TERRIBLE! Program simply deleted an entire hour long podcast for no reason. No explanation was given, simply, "possible bug error". That's how customers are treated? They work so hard on editing and constructing something only to see there was a bug error? Great work Audacity, you have truly won my trust on this one. Never using this software again.
