Audacity Forum

Hello - I'm trying to add FFmpeg to Audacity 2.4.2. I've followed all the instructions, but I am now in a loop. The FFmpeg library ended up in Library/ApplicationSupport/audacity/libs. No squiggle in front of the path. So I guess it's ...

What is not working? What are you trying to record from? What is the exact error message (including the error code number)?

I'm actually using Big Sur.
I just installed Audacity and FFmpeg. I've tried all the suggestions in the manual, but it still is not working.

I've just tested the link:

Hello! In the libraries you can include "avformat-55". Now I have downloaded the latest version (avformat-58) from ffmpeg.org. Sadly, it does not allow to embed it. Audacity is unfortunately not future-oriented, so does not believe that plugins evolve. Would be nice if this would ...

... and add the labels to the songs. I did try the online convert as jademan said and the file was corrupt and gave the same results. I also tried the FFmpeg with no luck. Not sure if it was a glitch with my $60 turntable with the internal analog to digital converter. I tried another old album and ...

I read this post as similar... Did you try this solution to decode with FFmpeg? Or, if you have a desktop or tower computer with a "regular soundcard" you can connect the turntable's analog line-outputs to line-in (blue) on your soundcard and record directly ...
