Re: Record and listen to another audio file on H/D similtane

Is it possible to record from cassette to H/D (using e.g. VLC) and at the same time, listen to audio files already on the computer or web Probably not possible on Windows. On Linux it is possible by using the audio routing capabilities of PulseAudio. For Windows users the best option is likely to b...

Re: Make a voice sound younger

Option 1: Raise the pitch a little (may be moderately successful)
Option 2: Hire/bribe/blackmail/cajole a young(er) person, or someone with a young sounding voice to re-record the text.

You could try SoX

Perhaps something like this as the command:

Code: Select all

sox inputfile.wav -b 8 outputfile.voc
More information about VOC files: http://sox.sourceforge.net/AudioFormats-11.html

Re: Changing Key of an MP3 file

See also "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift..."
It's a bit more complicated than the Change Pitch effect, but better quality.

Re: Bad sound using Stereo Mix

Personally I think that we should stop recommending Freecorder. The version of Freecorder that is suggested on the Audacity wiki is Freecorder 3, but applian.com (the makers of Freecorder) do their best to push Freecorder 4 which is loaded with pernicious adware that is difficult to remove. Soundlee...

Re: "Stereo Mix" is missing

If your computer is a branded computer (eg Acer/Dell/HP/...) then check on the manufacturers web site for driver updates. Ensure that you get the drivers for the exact model number of your computer and the same operating system. If your computer is not branded, then check the web site of the motherb...

Re: Could a huge project cause problems?

I discovered I had inadvertently created a project that ran over 4 hours -- and I mean several of the tracks ran that long. I noticed that whenever I tried to open the project, it took forever to open. "Several" tracks at over 4 hours will be a lot of audio data. When the project opens in...

Re: Windows7 - Recording Using MS Sound Mapper

The Microsoft Sound Mapper is not a real input/output. All that it does is to set the default input/output for Windows. If you go into the Windows Sounds control panel, then whatever are set as the default input/output device will be the device(s) that are used when you select Sound Mapper. It appea...

Re: Audacity on "older" PCs--some fine-tuning suggestions

It looks like the problem is with the ALSA drivers. Is this problem only with Antix? Have you used any other Linux distro successfully on that computer (with that sound card)? You may need to Google for information about how to get that sound card working properly with Antix/Linux. Btw, I've previou...
