Re: Where can I find source code for older versions of Audacity?

The minisource is only the Audacity source code. It does not include the source code of libraries that Audacity uses, so you will need to locate those separately. (the minisource is intended for Linux, for which the required libraries were readily available. The full source code was in SVN, but I do...

Re: Professional sounding fade out.

oh, and will you be providing a "Professional Fade In" too? You could reverse a selection, apply the Professional Fade Out effect, then reverse it again Wow, you are replying to an ancient post! You can see my response to waxcylinder in this post: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic....

Re: Cyber invalid is grateful for any help with capturing You Tube music

First, I have no idea what version of Audacity I have. Not sure how to identify. Look at the big bold notice in the pink box near the top of this page. The recommended way to record audio that is playing on the computer is to use "WASAPI loopback". See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man...

Re: Where can I find source code for older versions of Audacity?

I really want to customize the software to its full potential. In which case you should use the current source code: https://github.com/audacity/audacity Only the "mini source" is available for version 2.0.3 because we switched from Sourceforge to GitHub: https://sourceforge.net/projects/...

Re: Re-Recording clips

"Smash Record" is a new technique and I need to look it up. I suspect that you are referring to "Punch and Roll" recording: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/punch_and_roll_record.html except for one piece in the middle. Is there a way to take that part and re-record it withou...

Re: drawing (from ms paint) as a wave shape

would any drawings from a drawing tool make a waveshape if they are wave compatible?? Short answer is no. Longer answer: A graphical image, and digital audio are completely different things. You can't directly "convert" one to the other. However, there is a cool app called photosounder ($...

Re: very low mic input since updated to 2.3

I just read somewhere - in one of the learned articles online (don't remember which one) that -3dB is ideal. There is a "scientific" basis for that, though I would phrase it slightly differently. The facts: "44100 Hz 16-bit PCM" ("CD quality") is just enough to reprodu...

Re: Can't find system FFMpeg when building 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 18

I use Python a bit more often than Perl, so I'll start with that. That's good. Python is now the recommended language for scripting with mod-script-pipe. I'd recommend using Python 3 (Python 2 is rapidly becoming obsolete). When you get the Audacity 2.3.1 source code, take a look in "scripts/p...

Re: Can't find system FFMpeg when building 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 18

That appears to have been the issue, thanks. You're welcome :D Now that you've got the build working, I'd recommend that you build Audacity 2.3.1. It is officially still "alpha" software, but we are very close to releasing it. There's a LOT of new stuff in it for scripting, so I'd highly ...
