Audacity 3.5 adds cloud saving, beat detection, pitch shifting and more.

Major changes

• Cloud project saving
  We've introduced a new cloud-saving feature that allows you to save your Audacity projects to audio.com. This allows you to work from any device, share & collaborate with others and restore previous versions if something went wrong.
• Automatic tempo detection
  Audacity can now automatically detect the tempo of imported loops, and adjust them to be in tempo.
  Tempo detection is done via both audio analysis and metadata checking. If you want to prepare your loop for automatic tempo detection without relying on audio analysis, both acidizer tempo tags or simply writing "123 bpm" anywhere into the filename work.
  Automatic tempo detection can be turned off via Preferences -> Import/Export.
