View 14 RepliesI am trying to record in Audacity in Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit on a Dell Studio 1535 laptop.The problem is not that its not recording, per se.Rather, the problem is its not recording the way that I want it to.
Its recording from the built-in mic, and I want to use the mic jack instead as a line in from a guitar (well, technically, an acoustic-electric resonator, but its close enough to a guitar to call it a guitar).
I have tried using various devices for recording, and changing settings in both the Volume Control and Sound Preferences, but no matter what I do, Audacity still records from my built-in microphones, instead of from the line-in.
Slackware 12.0 I have installed only CDs one and two of the set of slack 12.0 CDs. According to Slack, it's all I need to make the system work. Now I've done
Code:
bash-3.1$ locate -i audacity
/usr/share/icons/mono/scalable/apps/audacity.svgz
/usr/share/apps/kappfinder/apps/Multimedia/audacity.desktop
bash-3.1$
and I am wondering where these two files can have come from. I get the same output if I run locate as root. May be the whole audacity package is somewhere in the rest of the disk set. But I have no way to find out, except downloading them one by one and reading throu the PACKAGES.TXT files. Unfortunately, the slackware.org no longer supports its package browser.
EDIT: there is only one PACKAGES.TXT file in the distro, and it is on disc 1. And audacity is nowhere mentioned in it. Corollary: My slack distro does not include audacity. But then, what are those two files doing in my system?
I just installed Audacity from Alien Bob's packages, but it won't launch.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've installed audacity, and have the LAME plugin installed. Problem is, I can't import mp3 files into audacity, I keep getting:
"This version of audacity is not compiled with mp3 support"
DO I need to do anything to get audacity to import mp3s ? The preferences only had an area for encoder (i.e. export) nothing for import.
Sceanrio: Childs homework requires the use of Audacity. Of course all other students working on the project with him have Windows. So I need mp3 supported with Audacity.Error message box, "you have compiled Audacity without mp3 support"Downloaded from: YAST with an additional plug-ins (I think).What I need: How do I add mp3 support, or compile it for Audacity?Does anyone have experience with this program? And have mp3 importing and playing within it also?

Im getting sound ok on the comp with radio, its playing vids etc well so I cant think anything is wrong with the sound card. Playing the cassette on my music centre should get the sound into the comp and into the comp speakers.... but I just cant get a peep
Can't export an mp3 file from Audacity because it can't find libmp3lame.so. I have:- clicked the Audacity Download button on the error window- installed lame using Synaptic- installed lame, liblame0, liblame-dev and libmp3lame0 using apt-getall as per various forum suggestions. Still can't find anything like libmp3lame.so or .so.0 on my (8.04) system.

The first track is the music. I looked at the alsamixer and the mic was originally muted and i unmuted. Should line be muted when i am using the mic? I also tried to record with the mic in sound recorder but got nothing there either.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to learn how to record my guitar parts onto Audacity using my Pod XT.I've always used Audacity to do my audio recordings since its much more user friendly than Ardour and just as capable IMO.However, I cannot get Audacity to work with the Pod.I downloaded the "line6-usb-source" using apt-get.Ubuntu seems to recognize the Pod and get a signal just fine (when I go to "Sound Preferences" it allows me to select the Pod XT as input hardware and even shows an incoming signal).When I go to Audacity's preferences,it allows me to select the Pod as the "Recording Device", however when I go to record it gives me an error saying to check the Project Sample Rate.
Does the Pod not output at 44100 Hz?Is there a way to change the sample rate the Pod puts out?Is there another setting in Audacity I need to adjust?I do not want to wine or emulate anything.I feel I shouldn't have to use a specific audio recording software to use a piece of a hardware I paid good money for.
Trying to edit some mp3's and join them together using Audacity 1.3.9 but when I try to export I get this "edit metadata" window??? I have all the libraries I believe (Lame, ffmpeg, etc.) with the right versions (I think). Running Ubuntu 9.10.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing Debian Lenny I recorded a wav file with Audacity to burn to a cd with K3b.The problem is when I played the cd with KsCD; it wouldn't stop when it got to the end; it just kept studdering. I didn't have problems using KsCD to play CDs I had ripped and then burned with K3b.Is this a problem with KsCD, or do I need to do something when I finish the file with Audacity?

It comes to the end and just repeats the last fraction of a second over and over.I used K3b to burn other audio CDs that I copied and didn't havea problem with KsCD playing them. Is this a problem with Audacity,KsCD or did I do something wrong?I recorded the file; saved project and then exported as a wave file
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe previous install went down the drain because the harddrive failed. So: a new install. Due to some limitations, this is the setup (it is for a hobby, nothing pro) P4 with Debian 5, Alsa and OSS installed, Audacity (I know, Ardour, but that thing had the same issues) and a soundblaster as in/out. On the in-plug, there is a mixer panel, there are some synths hooked up. The out goes to PC speakers.
Yea, I know, nothing fancy, but...when I play, I can hear everyhting tru the speakers at pretty good quality. Given that my synth makes some white noise itself, but that's besides the point... So, I hit the record, play and hear everything crystal clear, then I rewind and hit record to record the next track and the previous track has a lot of distortion... Same with the previous setup: Jack and Ardour on a Debian 6... By the way, yes, I do have a LynxOne lying around, but I cant get the drivers...they're not free, unless I missed something...
I recently got my USB microphone working with Audacity under: Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u1 (2015-12-14) i686 GNU/Linux.What I'd like to do is use that same microphone at the following Google/Chrome link in order to convert speech to text (mostly for the purposes of automating my note-taking process.): url...But the the microphone is never recognized, so nothing happens.(And, BTW, the same microphone works fine on that same link/site when I'm using my Windoze box instead of the Linux machine.)
Here's further information:

An Audacity build for Fedora 9 that has MP3 import and FFMpeg support built-in?
The one provided in Fedora-suggested repositories (audacity.i386 0:1.3.7-0.4.beta.fc9.2) is useless - has none of the above. One can't import MP3, WAV, OGG,... - nothing. The only option is to record and export to MP3 (with Lame).
To be honest, I can't understand why people are supplying such builds.
I understand it's quicker to build it from soruces in my case, but if anyone cares to replace the mentioned version with actually useful one, it could be a good deed.
I am trying to use FC12 to edit multimedia projects for my work.
Right now I just want to edit some audio in Audacity.
I switched back to Linux after a few years, because it usually is "better" than Windows.
I cannot get any sound. I installed ALSA removed and reinstalled PulseAudio and everything else I could find in a forum, to no avail.
Linux tells me my sound card is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
I used to be able to play MP3s but that went away in the process of all this.
Is there one solution I am missing, or do I have to change everything around depending on what I am doing?
I would like to use Linux for this but deadlines might make me go back to the dark side....
I use Audacity quite a lot for conversion of a voice recorder, to convert WMA to FLACWhen I used it Mar 24 it worked, when used it Mar 26 it didn't.I used the locate pointed it to libavcodec.so.52 like it had there & it tells me it can't find it! At first I thought it was an update I'd done from the Packman reposonly when I went to Yast to revert only the most recent update was in there, no prior versions. Yet I Know that ffmpeg was among the updates it was blue when I did it then.Other distro's don't have this problem only Suse who or where or what should I do so that Audacity works in Suse again?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Audacity to convert an mp4 to an mp3. Now, I don't necessarily need Audacity to do this, but for the time being I'm more concerned with getting Audacity to work properly as opposed to getting an mp3 onto my iPod.
In Audacity, I went to Edit>Preferences>Libraries. For the MP3 Export Library, Audacity recognizes LAME, but under the FFmpeg Import/Export Library it says "FFmpeg library not found." I hit the Download button and read this page on how to install FFmpeg, noticing the warning about needing FFmpeg 0.5 or later on Linux.
I fired up Synaptic and searched for "ffmpeg," chose the vanilla version and installed it along with two dependencies which I don't exactly remember but I bet they were libavformat52 and libavdevice52.
Back in the Audacity Preferences window I chose the "Locate..." button to point to the newly installed libraries, but Audacity is not recognizing/installing them successfully. I've tried pointing to the following files:
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.52
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.52.36.0
/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52
/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52.36.0
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libavformat52
[Code]....
Did I install the wrong version of FFmpeg or libavformat? Any pointers?
So I asked around and to combine audio files apparently I want to use Audacity.
It seems easy enough to LAYER audio files, but how do you string them together in sequence? I have an audiobook divided into 5 minute chapters and I want to combine them into longer chapters....my MP3 player likes to play them out of order which makes them difficult to listen to. I want to make it 1 long tract, or maybe 6 medium length tracks.
How do I combine tracks with Audacity...Not layering them but putting them in order into 1 long track?
Audacity doesn't play any sounds, although it can record from my microphone. And kubuntu plays the startup sounds (BTW, how to turn them off?).

I have an android phone. The voice recorder records files in 3gp audio only format. I can play these on my computer with the standard gnome player and with vlc. However, audacity won't open it up. There is an error that says that FFmpeg should import it but it didn't understand the format. I need to edit some of these audio files for use. Is there a way to convert these files to mp3 or flac so I can edit them? Searches turn up w32 ware and some arcane mencoder commands but they have to do with converting video.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.04, using Audacity 1.3.12 beta... and trying to get it to work with a USB Mic.
In Audacity ALSA I/O preferences, I can select the USB mic. But when I record, the input meter stays at about half-way and does not fluctuate when I speak into the microphone... I can hear myself very faintly on the playback... but it is very quiet and there is a loud buzzing. There are no mechanical reasons for this buzzing, such as computer fan, etc...
Also, I cannot find the USB mic in Ubuntu Sound Prefereces...
This is from "Device Info" in audacity:
Has anyone got any experience with running audacity on a netbook (+/- 1,2 GHZ processor, 1 GB memory). Did it go smoothly or was multi-track editing not really working as you would wish in terms of speed and smoothness?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi am trying to use Audacity to record internally the sound playing on my computer, and im finding the program quite confusing. I have found that by connecting the line out to the line in i am able to record, but the quality is rubbish, it will be a lot smoother recording it internally but I cant find a way of doing this, does anyone know how to record that way or know where i'm going wrong?
