Audacity Forum

I've read that three times and I'm still unclear about what you want.

You want to record yourself talking whilst simultaneously listening to a YouTube video?
Where are the other guys? In the same room as you?

I can't see how to achieve it with "a little programming". It looks like a major and very complex programming task to me (but I'm not a programmer). If you are an experienced C+ programmer then you could perhaps look at the code for the Time Track feature. It's not the same as what you are...

For microphone recordings you should generally aim to have a maximum peak level of around -6 dB (half the track height).

To insert some silence at the beginning of the track, click once on the track and press the Home key, then generate some silence from the Generate menu.

There is a set of tutorials regarding transferring music from tape to computer: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tutorial_-_Copying_tapes,_LPs_or_minidiscs_to_CD I would recommend that you use Audacity 1.3.13 rather than the very old 1.2.x version. You can download the current 1.3.13 version from ...

Also works on Debian Squeeze by installing libgtk2.0-dev (2.20.1-2)

I initially had the following libraries installed:

libgtk2.0-bin
libgtk2.0-common

but not

libgtk2.0-dev

In LMDE I've added libgtk2.0-dev (version 2.4.4-3) and it appears to have fixed the problem.

Thanks Edgar for the pointer.

When using external sound cards in Win 7 it is frequently necessary to set the recording level in the Windows Recording settings to a very low level. Right click on the speaker icon near to the time date on your desktop and select the Recording settings, then look for the recording level settings. S...

The task would be much easier to achieve if you can use MIDI generated sound rather than time stretching an audio file. For time stretching an audio file, the first thing that you would need to do is to accurately detect the beginning of each note. Even this first step is a non-trivial matter and be...

If you were using only the Equalization effect then it may be possible to get a rough idea of the settings by looking at the spectrum (Analyze > Plot Spectrum) and compare it visually with a spectrum plot of the original unprocessed version. If you have used multiple effects then there's probably no...

Not being a Linux guru, I cannot be sure, but it may be that you are using a gtk which fails if (!gtk_check_version(2,4,0)) Do you mean libwxgtk ? I'm using version 2.8. The build in the repositories works fine, but when I build from either SVN or from the current 1.3.13 source tarball I get this w...
