Release Audacity 1.3.12

[slaeshjag]

With a bunch of debian packages, I was able to get Audacity to work.


Known bugs:


Playback/recording will halt if focus is lost


For recording to work, you need to change recording device to hw:0,1 and input device must be configured in xfce4-mixer.

Indeed, there was a $10 bounty placed on this on the wiki. Let us know if he replies.

 

[Blue Protoman]

I'll make sure of it, he's in the IRC often.


Did I inspire you to do this, slaeshjag?

 

[slaeshjag]

I just saw the bounty and wondered why nobody did it before, so I had to try for myself

I likely inspired Vad to make that thread, which you saw. Hooray for me!


By the way, there's a page on the wiki. It's pretty out of the way and obscure, though; the only entries are my FBA bounty and the Audacity one you just completed.

Not exactly, I was inspired by the fact that I'd noticed four new bounties in one day. You get 25% of the credit

hi


thanks for this.


recording works wirh default temporary directory. but it does not seem to want to change temp directory to fat sdcard?


cheers

 

[MichaelXX2]

Well, this is just amazingly awesome. To whom do I owe the money to, and how should I go about paying for it? PayPal?

Technically you owe the money to slaeshjag, assuming the PND is up to the standards you intended.

 

[MichaelXX2]

The file is certainly up to standards. It could use some improvement, but at the moment it works very well enough to fit my satisfaction.

 

[Wootson]

So, could I just hook up my synthesizer to the headphone port and start recording some stuff that way? Or is it a little more complex to use?

 

[Blue Protoman]

Nope, you could do just that once you configure it to accept line-in sound.

 

[kuru]

Great port of a great tool, thanks a lot.

THIS. I am experiencing the same problem, audacity quits with the error message "Failed to set temporary file permissions (error 1: Operation not permitted)"

According to gp32x.de saving to NTFS or ext2/3 works. How can you workaround so FAT is also accepted?


/edit: meta question

 

[slaeshjag]

The first thing that comes to mind is to create a ext2 image, you can mount in a loopback and use for temporary files.


Something like this:


To create image


dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/image bs=1048576 count=size-in-megabytes


sudo mke2fs -m 0 /path/to/image # sudo, as regular users probably don't have filesystem tools in their path


To mount the image


sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image /path/to/mount # Mount it in a folder in your home directory, for conviniance


Only required once, gives you permission to use the image


sudo chown -R user:user /path/to/mountpoint


When I get my pandora back, I'll look into a proper port to replace this ugly mess.

 

[kuru]

Now that was fast, thank you for the instructions! I'll give it a go right away.


When trying to mount I get the info that there is no free loop device.


"mount" says that some app uses /dev/loop0


Stopping that app gives me "could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.)

 

[benced]

Was having trouble getting this to save project files. Kept getting error coming up saying "might not have permission/no disk space".


There was plenty disk space so decided to run as root.

sudo pnd_run /path/to/audacity.pnd

As root I was then able to set the temp directory to the SD card as well as save project files.


So it seems there must be a permission issue of some sort that needs to be fixed in order to get this to work not as root.


kthanx

 

[Kosmos]

So it starts and it plays back mp3s. but I still get an Error trying to record.


So I go here: [edit][preferences]


Set to ALSA


Output to "OMAP3Pandora HW:0,0"


> Will not playback.


Set Output to "Default"


> That works


Set Input to "OMAP3Pandora HW:0,1"


> Gives the following error when clicking Record Button.


"Error while opening sound Device".


"Please check the Input Device Settings and Project sample Rate".

 

[slaeshjag]

Try under kernel 2.6, the microphone doesn't work in 3.2.

 

[Kosmos]

AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!


Seriously, OK now. Rebooted into 2.6 and now see Capture and Boost in the Mixer! I assume that the Activating the RED DOT turns ON the Mic? I tried it both ways though.


Does the Pandora have a built in Mic? Cause allthough now the Error is gone when I click record in Audacity, I get NO recorded Audio!


Playback is still fine and the Recording "appears to run" except NO Sound Input.


Bare with me Slaeshjag. I just need a bit more explaining.


Thank you
