Hi
thanks for your suggestions on simple apps for simple people...
From Julien:
For just recording and checking mixer-settings, I
think ecasound or
qtecasound, if you like GUIs, might be ok. Otherwise there is still
ardour,
muse and the other big ones, but they contain a lot of
functionality.
um, sorry to be silly, but how does ecasound tell me whether my mixer
levels are suitable for recording the input? don't i need something
like a VU meter, ..or?
Recording mp3s: Why not just record audio-data to a
raw (.raw or .cdr)
file
or .wav-file and convert them afterwards?
? gosh i really wasn't clear. i'm not sure what you are suggesting, but,
well, i think i'm doing that. but i need to do a bit of editing along the
way.
Matthijs:
Sweep is quite a nice audio editor, if not that great
at working with
large sound files:
thanks! it has the functionality of x-fades which is really nice,
and audacity doesn't. but... hmmm... whats this about large sound files...
what happens?? <worries about spending hours to have it swept and mangled>
Alexandre:
But, oh god, I installed ReZound 0.7 yesterday... It has VU meters
for both recording and playing and an EQ analyser as well.
Give it a try!
i tried. it sounds perfect, but... hmmm can't yet get it to compile. it
depends on a lot a lot of libs that are >versions than mine. i am still
struggling (debian woody/unstable)
so i'm still open for suggestions for a VU meter, or even some smart way
that makes my recording levels easy to assess...
Now this is a vsound (0.5) problem I've had for a while. It occurs on
realmedia files. Somewhen during the stream realplayer just closes. This
is what it says:
cygnus:~/mars> vsound --timing -f output.wav realplay
_1790918_blur_beagle_vi.ram
About to start the application. The output will not be available until the
application exits.
/usr/bin/vsound: line 163: 1366 Aborted
LD_PRELOAD="$pkglibdir/libvsound.so" "$@"
Any suggestions?
thanks!
