Audacity Forum

Any clue what's wrong here? After reassembling your script into a single file I can reproduce the "http error" problem. I'll look into it, but I'll probably need to speak to the system administrator, which will later today because of time zones. It looks like a configuration problem in th...

your suggestion got me wondering about whether Audacity could be scripted or run from the command line to handle this. Not from the command line, but you can set up an import filter like this: prefs.png The important parts are: *.mp3 in the left column will apply the rule to mp3 files. FFmpeg-compa...

ive used any random ac3 5.1 audio from a cartoon or movie,

Perhaps you could extract the audio from the movie in a different format, such as WAV rather than AC3. A WAV file may import more quickly as it doesn't need to be decoded (though there will be more data to read from disk).

Have you installed the latest drivers for that mixer? For Big Sur you need the "Version3.0.0" drivers (updated 04/Feb/2021)

Is it possible to execute a macro without having to start Audacity? Or at least not having to load the GUI?

No it's not possible.

Perhaps SoX might be a suitable alternative(?)

My config is Deck (technics 1210) to mixer and from there to Audacity.

What is the mixer? Is it one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001226496694.html

What am I doing wrong?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. It looks like a connection problem from your location.
Are you able to try again with a different web browser?

Thanks for the info.

That MP3 works fine for me with Audacity 3.0.2 rc2

I can't reproduce the problem. It works fine for me. Without detailed step by step instructions for how to reproduce the problem there is nothing I can do. I proceed to create a "Mono track" like everyone else would in Audacity. Not like everyone else. I would simply select "1 channel...

importing ac3 5.1 audio from cartoon on HDD takes about 1minute on 2.2.1
and about 3minutes (SIC!) on 3.0

Is that with the same ac3 file in both cases? If so, what does this page say about the file: https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline
