Pluses: Unlimited undo (and redo); cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) Drawbacks / flaws: - In conclusion: A Simple to use audio editor with numerous features that is better than many commercial audio editors. I highly recommend it. Windows 7 OS. Current versions of Audacity are not supported on Windows 7, They may well run - but we can no longer offer support for issues that occur when using Audacity on Windows 7. System requirements. Windows 7 minimum system requirements cited by Microsoft are as follows for all versions of Windows 7, including the "Starter" edition with least features that is shipped with many netbooks. For a comparison of features in different versions of Windows 7, click here. 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster x86 32-bit or 64-bit processor 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit), or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver. For best performance if you are working with an hour or more of audio or multiple shorter tracks, we recommend 2 GHz processor and 4 GB of RAM on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. Note: Windows 7 Starter is 32-bit only and does not support more than 2 GB of RAM. Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, and Home Premium will recognize only one physical CPU, but support multi-core processors as do all versions of Windows 7. Sound Device driver requirements. Sometimes, new computers only come with generic Microsoft sound device drivers, but you should ensure you have sound device drivers intended for your particular computer model and particular version of Windows 7. The drivers should be provided either by the manufacturer of the motherboard or by the sound device manufacturer. This is especially important if you are upgrading an older machine from Windows XP to Windows 7. See Updating Sound Device Drivers for help. On a 64-bit system, the sound device drivers must be 64-bit. Features and Known Issues. Recording and playback. Select inputs in Devices Preferences or Device Toolbar: The new audio stack makes each input source on the sound device a separate input, so requires that inputs be selected in Audacity at Edit > Preferences: Devices or Device Toolbar. To solve this, ensure physical inputs are connected, go to "Sound" in the Windows Control Panel, show the disabled and disconnected inputs, enable and make default the required input, then restart Audacity or use Transport > Rescan Audio Devices . For more help, please see our detailed instructions for using the "Sound" Control Panel. If you have problems finding or enabling a "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" input to record computer playback, see the "Help with recording computer playback" panel directly above the image of the system mixer. "Loopback" device for recording computer playback: From Audacity 2.0.4 onwards Audacity supports recording computer playback (even where sound devices don't support this) using Windows WASAPI loopback recording. For the audio to be captured, the audio device playing the audio must be in shared mode ("Exclusive Mode" unchecked in the Windows "Sound" Control Panel).

    Datapond – Data Driven Music Builder

    DataPond – Data Driven Music Builder DataPond Data Driven Music Builder Over the past couple of months I have been attempting to teach myself to read music. This is something that I have been meaning to do for a long time. In high school the music teachers seemed to have no interest in students other than those with existing natural talent. The rest of us, they just taught appreciation of Bob Dylan. I can't stand Bob Dylan. So I never learned to read music or play an instrument. Having discovered the enjoyment of making stringed instruments such as the papermaché sitar, the Bad-Arse Mountain Dulcimer, a Windharp (inspired by this one), and a couple of other odd instruments. More recently I made a Lap Steel Slide guitar based on the electronics described in David Eric Nelson's great book “Junkyard Jam Band” and on Shane Speal's guide on building Lapsteels. I built mine out of waste wood palette wood and it connects to an old computer speaker system I pulled out of my junk box and turned to the purpose. It ended up sounding pretty good – to my ear at least. Anyway, I have instruments-a-plenty, but didn't know how to play'em so I decided to teach myself music. The biggest early challenge was reading music. I'm sure it would have been easier if a mathematician had been involved in designing the notation system. To teach myself I decided that reading sheet music and transcribing it into the computer would be a good way of doing it.

    RECORDING TIPS Creating Better Recordings in the Home and Studio

    MTNA National Conference 2019 Dr. Brendan Jacklin [email protected] RECORDING TIPS Creating Better Recordings in the Home and Studio BENEFITS and USES High-quality recordings are incredibly important for musicians in today’s technologically-driven world. They can be used for: ● Competitions, auditions, and festivals ● Practicing: able to listen to greater musical details, provides greater feedback for students, create accompaniments and backing tracks ● Online lessons and masterclasses ● Mementos for friends and family of performances ● Can be used as a creative outlet for students and teachers SMARTPHONES While smartphones are incredibly convenient and portable, they are designed for the voice and are often not a good choice to record music. ● Usually utilizes ​microelectromechanical system​ (MEMS) microphones—these small microphones have trouble capturing lower frequencies clearly. ● Multiple microphones: useful for capturing conversations, but can record unwanted noise (leakage) when recording music. ● Noise gates​: cancels large amplitude (volume) changes—great for conversations in busy areas, but impractical for recording music. ● Small ​sampling rate​: Sampling rate is the number of ‘samples’ of sound a device captures per second. The more samples, the higher quality a recording. Smartphones use a small sampling rate to conserve on memory usage. ● Apps are available on iOS and Android that allow you to manipulate noise gates and sampling rate. External microphones can also be used to increase the recording quality. LAPTOPS Laptops (and desktop computers) do have microphones, but have many of the same problems as smartphones. ● Utilizes MEMS microphones. ● Designed to capture the voice for video and audio calls. ● USB microphones (both inexpensive and expensive) can eliminate many of these issues.

Yet, in times of the pandemic, activities supporting the development of communicative competences are difficult to implement, as these activities are arranged mostly for in – class settings with the need of students’ interactive participation. Hence, language education needs to be adapted according to the new circumstances. The aim of this study is to examine how open source audio editing programs can support language education especially in promoting oral competences and implementing communicative activities for in – class language education with social distance and distanced language education. For this aim, open source audio editing programs are examined and compared in view of their features. Within this aim the programs Audacity, Ardour, Ecasound, Jokosher, MusE, Qtractor, Rosegarden, SoX, Sweep and Traverso DAW are examined. Furthermore, on the example of the program Audacity, some useful features for preparing audios in language education are presented. It is recommended to use these programs in language education. Keywords: communicative competence, language education, distance learning, audio editing program, technology 1. Introduction Learning a language means to acquire skills, that enable their users to communicate in the target language.
