[13:41] Does anyone have experience/solution with Audacity regularly crashing in 16.04 (Ubuntu desktop)? [13:42] jarlath, quite common complaint actually [13:42] backup early and often [13:43] Ah, I didn't realise. It used to be rock solid for me in 14.04. [13:44] So I thought maybe it was Compiz or something :) [15:46] Are there any alternatives for just cutting up audio files to remove small parts from a recording? It's crashing several times/hour. [16:02] jarlath: MHWaveEdit? [16:03] though that does expect jack to be running [16:03] Ardour is probably a bit heavy for that too. [16:04] 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. [17:38] Lovely, mhWaveEdit works with PulseAudio. [18:03] jarlath: good to know. [18:03] * OvenWerks runs jackdbus by default. [18:04] Ah, then you probably need it. I find when jack is running many programs can't produce audio (Firefox and Totem as examples). [18:11] 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. [18:12] I have been running this way for over two years now [18:12] it is very stable even on my wifes computer that is generally used for just desktop [18:12] Very nice. Is that with two seperate logins? [18:32] 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. [22:22] Anybody know how to solve that so I can save?
