==Installation==
Install audacity-2.0.1-i486.pet
9.10MB
==Compatibility==
Works on Polarpup 005 (lucid based), Slacko 5.31 and Exprimo. Any feed back welcome, especially on compatibility how to trim down file size.
==Components==
Audacity binary can be installed separately (without libraries). Could be useful if you already have wxWidgets (gtk u) installed. In this case you will still need to add- libFLAC++.so.6.2.0, libSoundTouch.so.1.0.0, libjack.so.0.0.28, libtwolame.so.0.0.0
audacity_BIN-2.0.1-i486.pet
==Libraries included with package (not with BIN)==
Here is a list of the support libraries.
(I've tested on polar and slacko. I've included libjack.so.0.0.28, as slacko doesn't come with this lib)
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/

Some things to consider If your recording with Audacity-
A) set the correct input device, see A 'select input device' (if your using JACK switch it ALSA to select device, then back to JACK)
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=55581
B) turn the capture level up, see D 'capture level up'. Don't confuse Capture with Mic. Mic sets the volume of Mic 'thru' but no the record level.

C) If frugally installed set temporary directory outside of SaveFile . Go to edit > preferences > directories set to something like /mnt/home/audacity-temp
D) Select view > 'show clipping' highlight any part of the recording that has distorted due to input being too high.
E) if recording multiple tracks you may need to lower latency http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=58094 - otherwise new track may come in too soon.
F) you can use Jack to monitor if your system is recording continuously without gaps (due to not enough processor time allocated, or not fast enough processor).
==Filetype and MIME Scripts==
the package includes .desktop for menu entry and script for mime *.aup and right-click association for some audio types. more info at

==Known Issues==
Menu bar goes tiny when Okaying out of Edit / Preferences

--Work around - resize window, or use keyboard shortcuts (alt+F opens menu on File and arrows keys choose menu)
