Hi NMGLUG folks, In response to Jared, thanks for your detailed info and questions. Here are answers to your questions: I am using Debian GNU/Linux 9.11 (stretch). I managed to get Kdenlive installed with help from Jason. I just installed Audacity from my repository by using the "Software" GUI. Why do you suggest .wav as a file format to import into kdenlive? My plan is mostly to edit videos which are recorded on a phone or camera. I did not find any way to record a voiceover in kdenlive. I did some successful testing using audacity and kdenlive. Here's what I did in testing: In audacity, I recorded my voice, clicked on File > Export Audio, in the Export Audio Dialog box, mp3 was the default. I selected folder and filename, and I clicked save. In kdenlive, I added a video which I had recorded on my phone and copied to my hard drive, my voiceover.mp3 and music.mp3. I dragged all 3 onto the timeline, clicked Project > Render. In the Rendering dialog box, I selected mp4, selected folder and filename, and I clicked Render to File. The successful test produced a .mp4 file which has the video, the voiceover and the music all superimposed exactly as I put them on the kdenlive timeline. It seems that I have proof of concept. I am grateful to all of you who have helped me to get to this point. I consider myself now a total novice with kdenlive and audacity. Any suggestions? LeRoy -- I am the Love of God, no matter what.

Hey LeRoy,I use audacity. It should already be in your repo.What version of Debian are you using?? lsb_release -aIf audacity (or kdenlive for that matter) is not in your repo, then consider using snaps to install both. https://snapcraft.io/audacityhttps://snapcraft.io/kdenliveIf your on Debian 9 or 10. You can install snap(d) to get access to snaps. https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-debianThere might be a way to do the voice over within kdenlive, but I'm not sure. You might record with audacity and import the .wav into kdenlive. If you are capturing video from your machine's desktop and trying to record audio at the same time, like so many computer how-tos on YouTube, then you should check out OBS (Open Broadcaster Software).Are you editing video produced from a camera? Or are you trying to record what is on your desktop?~ Jared -------- Original message --------From: LeRoy Diener < leroy@choosetherightside.com> Date: 11/24/19 7:36 AM (GMT-07:00) To: nmglug@lists.nmglug.org Subject: [nmglug] Can anyone suggest an audio recorder? Hi NMGLUG folks,Does anyone have any experience using an audio recorder?Can you suggest any audio recorder that works well?My specific need at this moment is to record voice-over audio files which I will add to videos which I'll edit in Kdenlive.Thanks in advance,LeRoy--I am the Love of God, no matter what.LeRoy Diener213-LEROYIZ213-537-6949www.leroydiener.com/
