[SOLVED] need simple solution for how to record playing sound

igadoter · 05-01-2010, 09:26 AM

Hi,

please give me a simple solution (no technicalities) for the following: I found that Mike Oldfield "Tr3s Lunas" being played backward (from the end to begining) is an addictive, magic music. For this I used alsaplayer. Now I want to record these reversed music, not everyone player is able to play backward, how I can do that?

Now I am using some kind of a mutant ubuntu, say version between 9.10 an 10.04, with gnome desktop and alsa sound system.

Try audacity, the standard FOSS audio editor. Load the track in, reverse it (in the effects menu), otherwise edit to your liking, then export it to a new file.

Sox also has the ability to reverse audio.

I was about to say the same thing. On this topic though; i'm at work, so i'm not on my foss box. What command line program records audio? I never really thought of that. And maybe whoever answers might help you out.

I say you use Audacity, you can both record and reverse audio with it. It's not CLI tho.

For those who are curious how it sounds listen to this
(not text but 14 s ogg sample).

This is also my feedback for the help I get.
