Cutroom release notes

What's changed

Every Cutroom release, newest first. Cutroom checks for a new version once a day and tells you when one is out; you can turn that off in the Help menu.

Cutroom 0.7.1 Latest

23 October 2026 · build 58fccd4

From tester feedback on 0.7.0.

Improved

  • The four zoom buttons now look different from each other: zoom in, zoom out, zoom out to the whole file, and zoom to the selection. Their tooltips name the shortcut.
  • Save As, Save Selection As, Export Between Cues, Mix Down and Batch Process all start in the folder you last saved to, so a run of clips cut from one file lands together.

Cutroom 0.7.0

22 October 2026 · build 721764f

Added

  • Studio Voice in Clean Up: a voice recorded at home or on a phone made to sound like the studio, from its own measurements. Rumble out, the tone matched to a clean studio voice (it only lifts what is really there, so a phone line's missing top end isn't turned into hiss), compression, de-essing, then levelled to −16 LUFS, −23 LUFS or its own loudness with a −1 dBTP ceiling.
  • A de-esser that only turns down the esses that stick out; ordinary ones are left alone.
  • Clean Up asks what to do after the noise: Studio Voice (the default) or noise only.
  • Batch Process has a Studio Voice step.

Cutroom 0.6.1

21 October 2026 · build b191603

Fixes from a check of the whole app.

Fixed

  • Export Between Cues and Batch Process stopped after their first dialog.
  • Quitting, closing the file or starting a new session during a recording threw the take away. It's now kept as an unsaved change and you're asked about it.
  • Undo after dropping a cue lost the cues. Adding, removing and renaming a cue are now undo steps of their own.
  • While recording, only stop, record, zoom, scroll and help work, so nothing can break the take.
  • A crash on quit with the Cue List open, and crashes after undoing an added plugin or removing a track with plugin windows open.
  • A full or failing disk during recording now stops the recording and says why, instead of losing the take.
  • Cancel on Auto Edit and Clean Up could freeze Cutroom for ten seconds. Progress now moves smoothly and Cancel answers straight away.
  • Clean Up on a selection under 90 seconds now runs in the background with Cancel.
  • An interrupted model download could fail for ever ("server said 416").
  • Auto Edit: no crash on a call with no words; house numbers in words ("Twelve Main Street") are found as addresses.

Improved

  • Better sample-rate conversion everywhere (Save As at another rate, opening files, Stretch): no aliasing, no dull top end, exactly in time.
  • DeClip repairs peaks without turning the whole selection down.
  • Save warns before overwriting a session that opened with files or plugins missing.

Cutroom 0.6.0

21 October 2026 · build 1b7364d

Added

  • Clean Up Speech: the fan, hiss, busy room or phone-line noise taken out from under a voice, with no noise print to capture first, on your own computer. Natural, Light, Strong or all of it. A Clean Up button sits beside Auto Edit. Needs macOS 13 or later on a Mac.
  • DeClip: the flattened tops of a caller shouting into the phone redrawn from the audio either side. Also the first step of Auto Edit's clean-up.
  • File > Export Between Cues: each stretch between cues saved as its own file, named after its cue, optionally levelled.
  • File > Batch Process: DeClip, Clean Up, an EQ preset and a loudness target over a set of files, into a folder, never over the originals.
  • Auto-duck in the multitrack: tick Duck Under Other Tracks on a bed and it dips 12 dB while someone's talking, in playback and mixdown alike.
  • Transport > Punch and Roll: three seconds of run-up, then record from the cursor and replace the rest. One undo puts it back.

Cutroom 0.5.1

21 October 2026 · build 81dbe2b

Fixed

  • Auto Edit no longer mistakes figures, times, prices or years for phone numbers, road names for postcodes, or everyday words for swearing.
  • The line check and wrap-up are found only where they really are.
  • Two bleeps close together are now one tone, so a word can't slip through.
  • Clean-up no longer pumps the hiss on a caller's line through short pauses.
  • Mic Check names your real input, stops cleanly when the device changes, and tells a hissy room apart from a telephone-quality mic.
  • Dragging a file from the Files list onto the multitrack works first time.
  • On a Mac, Ctrl-click near a clip edge opens the clip menu.
  • The new-version notice waits while you're recording or playing.

Added

  • About shows SignalScope, also from Altivox.

Cutroom 0.5.0

20 October 2026 · build 7ab3f96

Added

  • Mic Check: be quiet for three seconds, read a line, and it tells you what to change: level and clipping, background noise, mains hum, room echo, pops, telephone-quality mics, or a voice on one side of a stereo input. Nothing is recorded.
  • Auto Edit checks a call is safe to air: swearing bleeped or cut, and phone numbers, postcodes, Eircodes and street addresses found and removed. It also trims the line check at the start and the wrap-up at the end.
  • Auto Edit clean-up after the cuts: the caller's line matched to the presenter and the whole call levelled to −23, −16 or −14 LUFS, as its own undo step.
  • Multitrack: drag a file from the Files list onto a track, colour tracks, a right-click menu on clips, and S to split at the cursor.
  • A new-version notice, checked once a day (Help menu to check now or turn it off).

Cutroom 0.4.0

20 October 2026 · build 7d0eff5

Added

  • Live preview in the Graphic Equalizer: the selection loops through the EQ and every slider move is heard straight away.
  • Auto Edit for voice-overs, chosen automatically when there's one voice: breaths made quieter or cut, retakes found (keeping the last take), ums and long pauses.

Improved

  • Drag a selection past the edge of the view and it scrolls, faster the further you go.
  • The Auto Edit model download is checked in seconds instead of minutes on older PCs.

Cutroom 0.3.0

20 October 2026 · build 71d77a6

Added

  • Auto Edit for phone-ins: one button proposes cuts for ums, ahs, repeats, long pauses and the presenter's "mm-hm"s over the caller, for you to review before anything changes. It runs on your own computer; the speech models download once, the first time you use it.

Cutroom 0.2.0

19 October 2026 · build fae509d

Added

  • Several files open at once, with a Files list. Each keeps its own undo, cues, selection and zoom.
  • A right-click edit menu on the waveform, and Copy to New.
  • An overview bar above the waveform: drag its edges to zoom, click to jump.
  • View > Undo History, and View > Spectral View.
  • Graphic Equalizer (10 bands with presets for calls), and Stretch (time and pitch).
  • Generate: silence, tones and noise.
  • Full Save As options: format, sample rate, mono or stereo, bit depth, FLAC level, MP3 bit rate and mode, dither, presets, and a size estimate.
  • Cues and tags saved in WAV and MP3 files.
  • Phone recordings (M4A, AAC, 3GP) open on Windows.

Fixed

  • Save As and Save Session As could crash: every menu click ran its command twice.
  • The Mac build ran only on the newest macOS. It runs on macOS 11 and later again.
  • Double-clicking a file in Explorer didn't open it.
  • Enter in an effect dialog could cancel instead of applying.

Cutroom 0.1.0

17 October 2026 · build 888560b

The first alpha.

  • The Edit View: waveform, selection, zoom, playback, meters, and the classic keyboard shortcuts radio producers already know.
  • Cut, copy, paste, mix paste, trim, cues and several clipboards, with undo.
  • Effects: normalize, amplify, fades, high- and low-pass filters, limiter, compressor and noise reduction, run in the background with Cancel.
  • Loudness (LUFS, EBU R128) and Delete Silence.
  • Save as WAV, FLAC or MP3; Save Selection As.
  • Recording to disk in the Edit View or onto several multitrack tracks at once, with a live waveform and stereo meters.
  • The Multitrack View: clips, trims, fades, crossfades, volume and pan envelopes, plugin effects (VST3, and AU on a Mac), mixdown and sessions.
  • Autosave every 15 seconds and recovery after a crash.
  • Light and dark themes.
