Thankyou Steve - for pointing me to sox - hadn't used it before and thanks for that sox-recursive-batch-converter script: it whizzed through 1189 mp3 files and (being slightly modified*), reduced volume and bit rate as well as the resampling. Delighted - thankyou. * sox -S -v 0.5 "$FILE" -r 22050 -C...

Is it possible yet? Can I add resampling to a chain to batch convert a large batch of audio files to 22050 sample rate?

I couldn't get past sudo apt-get build-dep audacity. Why not? What errors did that produce? Have just tried it again to answer that question and get: $ sudo apt-get build-dep audacity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: You must put some 'sour...

Thanks, but those are the instructions I was trying to follow.

Which version of Linux you are using - MINT DEBIAN - LMDE The exact three-section version of Audacity 2.0.1 (downgraded from 2.0.5) Audacity from repositories =================================== I'm a remarkably dim and ignorant computer user who has just spent longer than I'd care to admit to on fi...

I'm indebted to you Steve - for this, and of course to the whole Audacity team. I use Audacity a lot and its great, and the way it keeps improving so quickly is great too - oh and the quick responses here are great as well of course. At the rate you are going, I expect you'll be getting offers from ...

Wow that works! I just tried it on a 55 minute track and it handled that fine. Would I be able to incorporate it into a chain?? At the moment it shows up below the line near the bottom of effects and the ones there don't show up in the SELECT COMMAND window when editing a chain. My application is pr...

The 1189 tracks with current silences are 75hrs, so I think I'll keep looking rather than go down the CD route. >Out of curiosity: just why do you want a gap at the end of each biblical phrase? >WC It is read at normal speed, but I'd like to try it with longer pauses for comprehension. I've tried th...

I don't want to lengthen silence after each track but more like after each sentence, or certainly after each verse. I'd have to experiment with choosing suitable parameters to detect the silence, but Audacity is already good at that. Also I don't want to append - just want to process the 1189 files ...

I know I can do it manually, however that is not practical for the application I have in mind. (I have an audio version of the Bible - in 1189 files. I want to add a pause - ie a lengthened silence - after each phrase, therefore I want to add an estimated 25K pauses, therefore accomplishing this by ...
