Hello everyone

Im a singer from Linconshire England, Ecomoney set up my pc for me.

Ive just had audicity installed after upgrading to puppy 2.02 Openoffice. The additional plugin effects 1-6 at the bottom used to be a big long list, but now they are greyed out. How can I add them again?

Im very new to linux and forums so please be nice to me, but I need these very urgently for my work

The effects are not greyed out, if I select a part of a musictrac of an opened file.

If nothing is selected, then the effects are greyed out.

I'm using this one:

Hi again.
'Greyed out' was the wrong term/explanation used.

I used to use audacity with a different/older version of puppy, and there were more options in the effects drop down menu. In the old version, i could click on the drop down menu and be given the option to use more plugins. I now only have 1-6. Some of the many previous effects were 'flange', 'reverbe' and so on, perfect for vocal effects. Please, if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful as i am working on a new song.

I already have an album out called 'Just Life' by SYLVIMAREE, written by myself and produced by M1 Music. Available from www.theorchard.com or www.m1music.com
I have had Puppy Linux for the last 4 months, I thought it would be fantastic if i could produce my own music too.

Has someone already built a dotpup package for 1.2.5 stable? It has the following updates since 1.2.3:

Dear puppy-handlers,

There are several linux wave editors out there, apart from Audacity. One, for example, is mhWaveedit. It requires GTK+ and supports mp3s if you have the Lame encoder. Other formats and HQ sample rates are supported if you have sox and other libs (e.g. libsound, libsamplerate). The nice thing about this editor is that it is about 350k compiled and has unlimited undo. While not as sophisticated as Audacity, I had no problems compiling from source and using it for some minor edits. Perhaps it should be considered for inclusion in a future Puppy because of its size and basic capabilities.

Relevant links:

and

With kind regards,
vovchik

vovchik,

I've marked down your suggestion for the standard community release of puppy

[RePete]

Here's my problem w/installing the audacity.pup file:

what I don't understand is, I've got a 4 gb drive

I also installed the beta version of Audacity, and it installed but would not run. Any help is appreciated...

[RePete]

Just received the same error while attempting to install Mute... must just be corrupted files...

This is a very old thread. I would suggest you start a new thread describing your problem.
Also, do include details of your computer and the version of puppy you are using.
Cheers
Geoff

Glad to see it's not just me with the

"MD5SUM ERROR: audacity.pup
Package may be corrupted
Not enough space to unzip?"

problem. I see it has been suggested that a new thread be started. I'll go and look for that but if someone knows where it is maybe they could put a link here.

Thanks

Audacity has moved here:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/
mirror:
http://puppyfiles.ca/dotpupsde/dotpups/Multimedia/

Or try this newer one:

Please do not use the Dotpup-downloader, it is totally outdated.
Use PSI instead:

Hi,

toutoulinux412 frugal audacity 1.3.4beta from dotpup

--------------------------------------------
UPDATED 16may2009
I downloaded and ran this audacity-1.3.4_399.sfs (after renaming it audacity-1.3.4_412.sfs) here :
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=29634&sid=13be4cfdc97b39fc1c4b7d16548972

I belive my question is SOLVED
see here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42437
It looks so trivial...isn't? (Oops!)

END UPDATE
------------------------------------------

I 'd like to record sounds just from the pc built-in-soundcard (i.e. without any input device connected to the red, gree, and blue pc rear panel connectors, nor usb or aother).
Sounds files (.mp3, .wma, .midi, etc..files) are played using gxine ou Pmusic.
Running then Audacity and pressing the red button (record) keep the blue straight line conctantly quiet (= there is nothing recorded).

When starting audacity, in the edit/preferences/ i/o there is a /dev/dsp device already displayed. I do not know which device is /dev/dsp. Ther is no other device there to select.

I wonder how to setup Audacity for getting sounds from the in built sound card (i.e. " intel8x0 8086:24c5 rev1 " according to alsa configuration).

Thanks for any answer

Cheers
Charlie

I downloaded audacity.pup from the first mirror, but when i tried to get it unzipped i got the message: "MD5SUM error, package may be corrupted, not enough space to unzip?". The file is not in the personal storage file but in /hda5 with hundreds of MB free, who knows remedy?
I really like audacity in winXP but XP is too slow on my computer.

My collection of ladspa plugins for audacity is here btw

http://ecomoney.eu/puppy/ladspa/

Purloined from Ubuntu

make a folder /root/.ladspa (notice the full stop before the "ladspa"

Save the plugin files in the folder

restart your audacity menu and they will be available from the "effects" menu

It includes the really useful one theyve left out in later Audacities, to change the pitch without changing the speed.
