| 00:01 | Hello Everyone. Welcome to this tutorial on Installation of Audacity in Linux OS. |
| 00:09 | In this tutorial, we will learn about installation of
Audacity |
| 00:16 | Lame library and FFmpeg library in the Linux Operating System. |
| 00:23 | To record this tutorial I am using
Ubuntu LinuxOS version 14.04 |
| 00:30 | Audacity version 2.1.2
And a working Internet connection |
| 00:38 | Audacity is a free and open source software. |
| 00:42 | It is used for multi-track audio recording and editing. |
| 00:47 | It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. |
| 00:57 | Now let’s learn how to install Audacity in Linux OS. |
| 01:02 | Audacity comes pre-installed in Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04 and above. |
| 01:09 | However, if it is not installed on your machine, follow any one of the below methods: |
| 01:16 | Go to the terminal and type sudo apt-get install audacity
and press Enter. |
| 01:28 | Go to Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic Package Manager, search for Audacity and install it. |
| 01:37 | To know how to install software in Linux, refer to the Linux spoken tutorials on this link |
| 01:45 | Audacity is already installed in my Linux system. |
| 01:49 | To open Audacity in Linux OS, click on Dash Home at the top left corner of the Desktop,
And type Audacity and click on the icon. |
| 02:02 | This is how the Audacity interface looks like. |
| 02:06 | To cross-verify the installation, we will do a small demo recording. |
| 02:12 | Click on the button with the red dot. |
| 02:15 | Narrate a sentence - For eg: Welcome to Audacity. |
| 02:21 | Now, click on the yellow button to stop the recording |
| 02:25 | If you see waveforms below, then your Audacity installation is successful. |
| 02:31 | Let’s close this window now, without saving the recording. |
| 02:36 | This completes the demo for Linux OS. |
| 02:40 | Some important things to know about Audacity. |
| 02:44 | By default Audacity, will export the audio files in few formats only. Like dot ogg, dot mp3, etc. |
| 02:57 | A plugin called "Lame" is needed in Audacity, to export into mp3 format, in Linux OS. |
| 03:06 | It also uses the "FFmpeg" plugin to be able to read/import dot mp4 files in Linux OS. |
| 03:15 | Now let us learn about Lame installation in Linux OS. |
| 03:20 | Lame allows Audacity to export audio. |
| 03:24 | In Linux OS, Audacity has built-in Lame support for .mp3 export. |
| 03:32 | Hence a separate installation of Lame is not required. |
| 03:37 | So, you should be able to export to mp3 format in Audacity in Linux OS. |
| 03:45 | Let’s move on. |
| 03:47 | FFmpeg library allow Audacity to import audio from video files. |
| 03:54 | In Linux OS, Audacity has built-in FFmpeg Library support. |
| 04:00 | Hence a separate installation of the same, is not required. |
| 04:05 | This means that you should be able to import audio from video files using Audacity in Linux OS. |
| 04:14 | Let me show you a small demo of the same. |
| 04:18 | Note: I will import the audio from a video file named as Introduction-to-LibreOffice-Writer.mov in my Desktop. |
| 04:29 | Now, click on the Dash Home and type Audacity.
And click on Audacity icon. |
| 04:38 | This will open an empty Audacity project on your screen. |
| 04:43 | Go to the Main menu, click on the File. |
| 04:47 | Now click on Import and then on Audio. |
| 04:53 | A dialog box will appear. |
| 04:56 | It will ask you to choose the location of the file. |
| 05:00 | I will choose Desktop and select my file Introduction-to-LibreOffice-Writer.mov. |
| 05:09 | Then click on Open. |
| 05:12 | It will import only the audio from this particular video. |
| 05:17 | You can see the audio track here. |
| 05:21 | This brings us to the end of the tutorial. |
