Version 9
September 18, 2026

Changes in Version 9:
- Control+A opens Insert Silence choices for 1, 2, 4, or 8 seconds.
- Silence is inserted at the current cursor position.
- The cursor moves to the end of the inserted silence.
- Control+Z can undo the insertion.

Changes retained from Version 8:
- T opens Increase Marked Speed choices from 10 through 100 percent.
- Shift+T opens Reduce Marked Speed choices from 10 through 100 percent.
- Speed changes permanently alter the marked audio and preserve the original pitch.
- A 100 percent speed increase produces double speed.
- The 100 percent reduction choice uses the minimum speed of 10 percent of normal.
- The adjusted section becomes shorter or longer without changing the surrounding audio.

Changes retained from Version 7:
- L turns looping of the marked area on or off.
- While looping is on, playback returns to the beginning marker whenever it reaches the ending marker.
- Increase Volume and Reduce Volume now offer 20, 40, 50, 75, and 100 percent.
- A 100 percent increase doubles the marked area's current volume.
- A 100 percent reduction makes the marked area silent.

Changes retained from Version 6:
- Alt now focuses File on the menu bar without putting the menu bar in the Tab order.
- While the menu bar is focused, Left and Right Arrow move between File, Actions, and Help instead of moving the audio cursor.
- Down Arrow or Enter opens the focused menu.
- Control+W closes the current project while leaving ListenUp open.

Changes retained from Version 5:
- File, Actions, and Help remain on the standard Windows menu bar.
- The menu bar is removed from the Tab order.
- Alt activates the menu bar; Alt+F, Alt+A, and Alt+H open its menus directly.

Changes retained from Version 4:
- Control+V opens the Increase Volume choices.
- Shift+V opens the Reduce Volume choices.
- Control+R starts or stops recording.
- Fade In and Fade Out offer 20, 40, 50, 75, and 100 percent strength.
- Cursor movement synchronizes with the exact playback position before moving.
- Marker announcements include positions relative to the full project length.

Changes retained from Version 3:
- A marked area can be reduced by 20, 40, 50, or 75 percent.
- A marked area can be increased by 20, 40, 50, or 75 percent.
- Fade In and Fade Out can be applied across the full marked area.
- All new marked-area edits support Control+Z Undo.

Changes retained from Version 2:
- Alt+M now opens the Mix Track command correctly.
- Alt-key shortcuts now recognize Windows system-key events.
- Playback uses a temporary listening copy so Undo can safely restore the working project.
