Under the Switches tab, you’ll find a “mix” checkbox and a “mono mix” checkbox. After choosing the key, check the button that says 'Fill Threshold'. Choose the desired key by clicking 'Select a Scale'. The next thing is click on Effect, and then choose GSnap to open the auto-tune window. “Instead of opening kmix, go to the sound icon in the panel and right click it, choosing “Open Volume Control”. You can do this by using the Selection Tool that looks like a large upper case letter 'i' in Audacity.
Thankfully covered this post as well and there Gavin mentioned in a comment how to reach the same goal in Gnome: Still, it works, and audacity is very easy to understand and handle.
The biggest disadvantage at the moment seems to be that Audacity can only record in plain data instead of live coding into OGG/mp3 – and that you start a full blown audio editor just to record some data. If you see a strong signal, record it and speak into your microphone at the same time – you should not hear your own voice at playback.Īnd that’s all you have to do. Now check in Audacity if you get a good signal: There, activate a switch called “Mixer” by clicking the red light on top of the switch: Therefore we route the sound with kmix: Open the kmix window and open the tab switches. Listen to it – if you hear your own voice, then you simply record your microphone (which is quite likely).īut we want to record directly from the output. Start now any kind of audio source, and see if you have a signal there – if yes, record it and say something in the microphone at the same time. This is very helpful in case you have to play around with the different in- and outputs of the mixer.
If you have done so you can see all the time if the software gets the signal or not. Once you started Audacity, you should turn on the record signal to see if the record channel gets a signal or not: So if you want to follow this hoto you need an Alsa supporting version of Audacity (v. So I checked for audacity – luckily, Fedora comes along with the newest beta of audacity which already include Alsa support – the old Audacity was OSS only which is certainly not helpful in such cases. However, it didn’t work for me, and the net was only full with people where it didn’t work either, so no chance there.Īlso, jack might can accomplish such tasks, but I haven’t tried that.
The first solution I found didn’t work out: the man page of asound gives code snippets to do this task. Also, it seems to require artsd, which infers with the flash plugin which uses Alsa. However, this is the point which is a bit odd: how do you route sound? And, also difficult at least on KDE, which recording tool can you use? I never really understood krec, so that was out of question. In principle this shouldn’t be difficult because the data are on your computer – you just have to route them through a recording tool. The given task was in this case: record the output of a flash streaming online radio. Also, it worked here, but it might not work for you when you have another soundcard or whatever. So to an expert this method might look very childish or just plain cumbersome – still, it is the only I figured out for the given task. Users should search our sub before posting questions too, because your answer may already exist.This short howto will show how to record the soundcard output on Linux with Audacity while running in KDE.īefore we start, one honest word: generally, I have no idea about audio routing on Linux. Please refer to our new rules section here and consider other users before posting. Youll be taken back to the wave form of your recording. This tells Audacity that what was selected is noise that you want removed from the recording. Next, go to Effect-> Noise Removal Select that and youll get the following dialog box: Click the 'Get Noise Profile' button.
They have expressed a wish that we try to include the version number of Audacity when posting anything, or to indicate if no version was included in anything linked here.Īudacity is a free, easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems.
