Hi everybody, my name is Ken Fallon and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
Today is a follow-up episode to HBR1771 Audacity label tracks by John Colpe originally aired on
|
|
2015-05-18. At the time I remember saying on the podcast the community news that
|
|
at a particular point in time that show was going to become very useful to me and in actual
|
|
fact today turned out to be that day. The show was Audacity labeling tracks and it basically means
|
|
when you bring in an audio recording that has different chapters or like an album, an audiobook
|
|
that has different chapters or an album that has different songs in it that you can record it
|
|
as one big long thing and then in John's episode he was saying you can add a label track using tracks
|
|
add new label track and then you can locate the various different sections of the files
|
|
and proceed from there. Well one addition I'd like to bring to the table is they analyze tools.
|
|
So when you're bringing in your recording of an old LP or something that you've converted from
|
|
analog to digital you've got your two left and right channels up there presumably and every so
|
|
often there are spaces. So rather than having to click each of the spaces in turn and add a label
|
|
track what you can do is you can go analyze silence from the analyze menu, look for silence
|
|
finder and well you have to obviously select the entire track for that analyze silence finder
|
|
and you're presented with three different options that you can modify. The one that I wanted to
|
|
select was the minimum duration of silence and in this case I set it from the default of one
|
|
to three which worked for me because the silence is between audio tracks in this work that I'm
|
|
processing turned out to be three seconds, four seconds so the three was sufficient to
|
|
eliminate all the false positives and allow me to at least have the tracks labeled. I then
|
|
then had to go and add the labels from the generic s that was there for some reason and
|
|
they're all labeled s so I had something like 26 different s's labels all labeled s and then
|
|
knowing from what tracks names they should be I was able to go in and copy and paste each of them
|
|
into the various different fields I imagine I can probably do that by importing a label or something
|
|
but in this case it's a one off so I was more than happy to copy and paste them in and then it was
|
|
a simple matter of file export, export multiple and then where I'm going to export it to the folder
|
|
and the format which I'm going to select so I have MP3 flag whatever and then split files based
|
|
on tracks or labels and I selected labels and then on the other side name of files using
|
|
label track name you also get the option of numbering before label and track and numbering
|
|
after file name prefix so then you just click export and then badaboom the whole thing is exported
|
|
out so very very useful and thank you very much John for producing that show on the first place
|
|
that's pretty much it tuned in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio
