Audacity Forum

If you feel comfortable using the command line, you'll probably find many command-line apps that will allow you to convert ogg vorbis to wav... To search the ubuntu repositories you can use "apt-cache search keywords " on the command line. For example: apt-cache search ogg wav convert That will retu...

Have you tried a 1.3.x version of Audacity?

I'm assuming here you use windows... My windows knowledge, specially regarding sound and usb devices is very very limited... I'm afraid I won't be able to be of much aid on this matter... sorry

First some background on myself... I'm an electronics engineer, I've been using computers for the last 20 years or so (I'm only 30, but I started playing around with them quite early :P).

OSS4 seems to be the most straightforward option, but has less hardware support than ALSA and looks to be more limited for music production - the licensing terms may also be a bit problematic for the major Linux distros. Once u...

Like some ppl might say... Backups? Nah... I prefer to live on the edge! I've been "playing" around with linux for the last 12 years or so...
