Ok, I guess the problem is in audacity... As previously sent, I re-tried another record, within audacity, and came up with the following "messages"
Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 44100 Hz - closest = 48000 Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 44100 Hz - closest = 48000 It could have come from the record, or the playback after the record, or in the "export to wav" - but, in any case, audacity IS doing something that is "changing" the sample rate on me - even though the exported file shows a sample rate of 44.1KHz, somewhere along the line, it had/is using 48KHz. I have no options on this one. Here is what I need, and maybe someone can "point" me to what I can get to do it. Since audacity appears not to be the choice of usage here... (1) I need to record "n" minutes, continously until I press "stop" - where "n" is not known until I press "stop" (2) I need to be able to "visually" see the audio, on some form of graph - this is needed during the "editing" phase - I need to locate noise, silence, and breaks in the recorded "file" to determine seperate speaches, and removal of blank areas. (3) I need to be able to work with the audio recording, multiple times. i.e. I record a complete 90 minute tape (cassette) - played through my sound cards LINE IN, in one pass, save it, open it later, remove dead air at beginning and end, and break the "complete" recording down to seperate "files" - saving these seperate files (audio). (4) Burn these seperate audio "files" onto a CD Audio disc, in which the order of the audio "tracks" must be viewable, and the final CD Audio disc MUST be able to be played in ANY cd player - computer, boom-box, component stereo, etc... I also have been watching a thread I have in Knoppix.Net, and upon finding out that "arts" is NOT where its at, and ALSA is - I have disabled my arts running in Debian, and ran a alsa_init from a root console, set up configs, or so it said, but do not know how to go any further than that. Appears my audio is still working - frozen-bubble still plays its sounds and sound-track fine - but someone had said I should be able to run "alsamixer" from a console, and I get the following error: :$ alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory What can I do to accomplish my goal, and what may I need? Thanks to everyone here - also :) Casey On Tuesday 24 February 2004 18:25, Bill Unruh wrote: > On Tue, 24 Feb 2004, John Haxby wrote: > > Casey Heshler wrote: > > >(1) Using Audacity, I've created, both a oog, and a wav, file formats - > > >initial 45 minute tape extraction, edited that file - both oog and wav - > > > to strip to individual speaches - then using K3b, burned the oog, and > > > also the wav "tracks" to a Audio CD. > > > > > >PROBLEM: > > >Upon trying to play the K3b Audio CD, the pitch of the speaker is way > > > lower than it should be, like they were talking in slow motion. > > > > You don't mention it, but I would guess that the Audacity project sample > > rate is 22050Hz rather than 44100Hz.
