A useful tiny sound editor

#21 Post by vovchik »

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:

https://gna.org/projects/mhwaveedit/
and
http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hjormagn/mhwaveedit.html

With kind regards,
vovchik

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...

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:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=25372


Please do not use the Dotpup-downloader, it is totally outdated.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/viewto ... 7d16548972

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

got an MD5SUM error

#29 Post by hanzf »

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 :lol:

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.

ps....hansz, try increasing the size of your pup_save.2fs file, it needs double the size free of the program you are trying to install (annoying problem in petget)

start>utility>resize personal storage file

audacity 1-3-2 beta works has no MD5SUM error

#32 Post by hanzf »

Hello,

I solved this MD5SUM error thing for me.
I downloaded audacity 1-3-2 beta from here:

http://puppyfiles.ca/dotpupsde/dotpups/ ... .3.2-beta/

it installs properly on my computer. To start it, I also had to install these two "wxgtk" packages. I haven't tried it out yet so i cannot tellk how good it works.

hanzf, that version had many issues in ubuntu 8.04...probably because of their new PulseAudio sound system, please give it a good test and see how it performs in puppy, and get back to us because it had a few nice features.

I downloaded http://ecomoney.eu/puppy/ladspa/am_pitchshift_1433.so and put it into /root/.ladspa but when i then started audacity there still was no pitchshifter, how can I get it?

Thanks, h.

I think I made a mistake :oops:

the files need to placed in a folder called /usr/lib/ladspa...at least this is what I did in ecopup

Have tried to make a .pet of these...and failed :cry:

I loaded the Beta on my son's Puppy 4.2 laptop and he likes it ... except ... he needs to be able to save his voice recordings as mp3's, or at least wav files.

Is there a way to do this, please?

Otherwise should he use some other audio recording app?

He is making voice-overs as part of a group of young people online who are creating their own animated versions of cartoon series.

Thanks! doc

Export as mp3 but in preferences > formats...you will probably have to locate the lame library first.

..or for the ultimate one liner...

arecord -D hw:0,0 -f cd | lame - /path/to/file.mp3

ctrl c to stop...
will record direct to mp3 from whichever input it set to record from in the mixer/alsamixer

I have been looking for a PET to install Lame for MP3 but no joy yet. :(

I don't quite follow this code ... :oops:

... is "arecord" an app native to Puppy or is it a way to call audacity from a line?

... you reference "lame" so I presume that your cryptic reference to locating it means that this line of code won't work until one does ... or not?
