• Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now

  It supports ALAC. There’s a handy app called XLD (X Lossless Decoder) that will convert from FLAC to ALAC (and probably back) in a couple clicks if you need it. Lossless means I don’t really need to care whether my music is in an equivalent format, but I will admit it’s a bit silly. https://tmkk.undo.jp/xld/index_e.html. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Audio encoding question

  I would be surprised if XLD cannot do what you want. Source: 10 months ago

• This error keeps showing up when I try to import a CD. Any reason for that or any advice?

  Please ignore the misinformation in this thread about CDs being too old to be ripped, and download XLD and follow this guide. Source: 10 months ago

• What is your favorite mac app that you just discover in first half of 2023?

  I don't have any OPUS files, but personally, I'm fine with MP3s, so typically, I just run songs through XLD. Source: 10 months ago

• Moving CDs to ext. HD on Studio

  Take a look at XLD, it supports lossless formats (flac, alac, wav, aiff) as well as standard compressed formats. It also checks online services for metadata and album art. I ripped a ton of CDs with it. Source: 10 months ago

• Keeps freezing at 4.09% when rendering for Youtube

  If you have audio clips in a compressed format, such as MP3, we recommend converting them to a lossless format like WAV or FLAC using free audio editor software like Audacity. OpenShot prefers working with uncompressed audio during project editing. Similarly, if your video clips are in a format other than MP4, use free video converter software, such as Handbrake, to convert them to MP4 format, as OpenShot prefers... Source: 10 months ago

• Voice Over

  OpenShot does not have a record feature. You can use free audio editor software such as Audacity to record your voice-over audio and export the clip as an uncompressed audio file (I recommend FLAC). Import the audio clip into OpenShot and align the clips on the Timeline. Source: 11 months ago

• I downloaded audacity from github as that was what was linked on the ds modding wiki and I needed it for theme background music

  That's valid, but unless you have a reason to specifically want that old version you might wish to get the current version from its official source at https://audacityteam.org . Source: 12 months ago

• Question from a frustrated user.

  The only other thing I can think of to try is a completely clean install; not just uninstalling Audacity, but trashing any config, cache, and other files it may leave on your computer after uninstall. Only after you've zapped away any trace of Audacity from your system should you download it again from https://audacityteam.org and reinstall. Source: about 1 year ago

• Progressing through the late beginner stage?

  What changed my playing ( and my life ) was a digital multi-track recorder. I use a BOSS Micro BR, but a laptop equipped with Audacity ( https://audacityteam.org ) would work as well. I started working on multi-part pieces recording one line and then the next over it. I got better quickly, and it was fun. Source: over 1 year ago
