| jarlath | Does anyone have experience/solution with Audacity regularly crashing in 16.04 (Ubuntu desktop)? | 13:41 |
|---|---|---|
| cfhowlett | jarlath, quite common complaint actually | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | backup early and often | 13:42 |
| jarlath | Ah, I didn't realise. It used to be rock solid for me in 14.04. | 13:43 |
| jarlath | So I thought maybe it was Compiz or something :) | 13:44 |
| jarlath | Are there any alternatives for just cutting up audio files to remove small parts from a recording? It's crashing several times/hour. | 15:46 |
| OvenWerks | jarlath: MHWaveEdit? | 16:02 |
| OvenWerks | though that does expect jack to be running | 16:03 |
| OvenWerks | Ardour is probably a bit heavy for that too. | 16:03 |
| jarlath | OvenWerks: Great, that's new to me. Thank you. I do have qJackCtl so I can run it for that session. Ardour seems a little OTT from memory, but I do recall being very surprised the last time I did something like this in Ardour. Not as bad as I had expected either. I'll try your suggestion and go with Ardoir if it doesn't suit. | 16:04 |
| jarlath | Lovely, mhWaveEdit works with PulseAudio. | 17:38 |
| OvenWerks | jarlath: good to know. | 18:03 |
| * OvenWerks runs jackdbus by default. | 18:03 | |
| jarlath | Ah, then you probably need it. I find when jack is running many programs can't produce audio (Firefox and Totem as examples). | 18:04 |
| OvenWerks | jarlath: I use pulse as a front end for jack. I remove all alsa and udev modules from pulse and use jack as the only audio device. | 18:11 |
| OvenWerks | I have been running this way for over two years now | 18:12 |
| OvenWerks | it is very stable even on my wifes computer that is generally used for just desktop | 18:12 |
| jarlath | Very nice. Is that with two seperate logins? | 18:12 |
| jarlath | When trying to save I get "Invalid sample format or number of channels for this file format". When I google the error I just get the source code on github :) I'm saving the same format as the source file, ogg. | 18:32 |
| jarlath | Anybody know how to solve that so I can save? | 22:22 |
