Kate's Playground Look-alike

Audio Video Editing with Linux

Having "touched" the topic Graphics, I will now, after so long, the audio, such as: recording, processing and encoding of audio files.

First of all, I needed an event "guinea pig" for the record, which occurred some time ago with a gospel concert in my part, after which I equipped with microphones, mixers and portable.
The software used is Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/?lang=it and I must say that I found very practical and intuitive.
It has many features that I still have to study for the filtering and editing of audio files.
Once the registration and any changes, you can export your files in more conventional, with a small detail to the MP3 library that is not installed by default because of the proprietary license.

Anyway you can download LAME to convert it to mp3.
I downloaded the source and built it with the classical. / Configure, make and make install, but I assume that there are also prebuilt packages for major distributions.

Finally I converted the wav to mp3 file directly from the console with the command: lame file.wav file.mp3.
A taste of the result you can download it from here: sezGosp.mp3

only negative is due to the PC, not really suitable for doing this, which leaves an annoying background noise.
