Audacity is a very good multi-track recorder especially for laying in several tracks of music (e.g. bass, guitar, drums, voice, etc.) and mixing them down. It's could also act as a sequencer in that sense. I've used it many times in the past - like a virtual studio - in most of my home recordings, where i record one track after another (to generally about 4 separate tracks) and mix them all down into a single stereo track. it worked ok in a laptop environment so i thought it could work in a tiny thing such as an eeepc.<BR/><BR/>ganjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519435019614962933.post-60515108359555475042008-12-20T00:23:00.000+08:002008-12-20T00:23:00.000+08:00Hi ganj, I tried recording 1 track after another...Hi ganj,<BR/><BR/> I tried recording 1 track after another and after playing back, it sounded ok. Have you tried recording only one track and playing back? If it still sounds noisy, it could be that your microphone volume is set too high/sensitive. I set mine at 1/4 of the max volume.<BR/><BR/> Other than this, I usually do only 1-track recording, so I'm not very familiar with multi-tracks.PhantomZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589438769733414347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519435019614962933.post-90701077730959493762008-12-19T09:54:00.000+08:002008-12-19T09:54:00.000+08:00Hi there,thanks for this, i managed to install it ...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>thanks for this, i managed to install it fine in my eee900. my only issue right now is that there seems to be a latency problem once i do multi-tracking. any idea how this can be sorted out? is it simple memory issue you think (mine's got 1G of RAM) or has to do with the processor? the second track always sound garbled.<BR/><BR/>ganjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519435019614962933.post-74232257668604878582008-09-10T06:23:00.000+08:002008-09-10T06:23:00.000+08:00@PhantomZ Thanks for replying.

F is my usb key (that's how it's labelled on mi eee, I don't get why, it should be E, but I don't care actually)<BR/><BR/>You're right, I changed to run Audacity as root, and it seems that I can save projects that way. There's surely something to do with file mgt on the eeePC, I'll search in the corresponding forums.<BR/><BR/>I hope runing as root doesn't risk to jeopardize the system...<BR/><BR/>cheersFreddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767201636314322309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519435019614962933.post-91165182745986331302008-09-10T06:16:00.000+08:002008-09-10T06:16:00.000+08:00Hi Fred, I'm not quite sure why there is a F: in...Hi Fred,<BR/><BR/> I'm not quite sure why there is a F: in the path, but you can try pressing Ctrl-Alt-T to go to the terminal console and type<BR/><BR/>"sudo audacity"<BR/><BR/> This will run Audacity in superuser mode and hopefully give it sufficient permissions to write to the SD card.PhantomZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589438769733414347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519435019614962933.post-24699194330058287302008-09-10T02:54:00.000+08:002008-09-10T02:54:00.000+08:00Thanks for this useful post !I use Audacity on my ...Thanks for this useful post !<BR/><BR/>I use Audacity on my eeePC Xandros, and find it very good.
