Hi all,
(Audacity 2.10. .dmg on Mac OSX 10.8.5 - macbook pro)
I’ve never used chains before so I apologize if this is obvious. I want to add the same stereo track to 1000 different stereo tracks (I need to end up with 4 channels of sound for each file). To do this, I figured I’d create a chain in which the same sound file was imported on each pass of the chain and added to a file and then the whole thing would be exported. I found a tutorial online and in that tutorial there is a command for “import” in their screen shot of an Audacity chain, so presumably one can import a file as part of a chain, but when I try to make a chain on my system, I find that there is no “import” command. Is there a way to import within a chain? Is this something that changed between versions?
Thanks,
Mark
Please check that is not a typo for 2.1.0 - if necessary please go to http://web.audacityteam.org/download/mac to download from us.
Sorry, no. There used to be an “Import” command but it was never functional and not intended for mixing an arbitrary file into a Chain applied to a list of files.
You could try SoX: http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html. If necessary you can search the SoX users mailing list for some examples or subscribe to that list and ask for help directly.
