Audacity for Debian-based Linux

So, some time around 2020/2021, Audacity for Linux from the repositories of Debian-based distros (including Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) no longer had access to high quality stretch (change tempo, change pitch, shifting slider). This appears to be due to a combination of Debian no longer updating Audacity at all past 2.4.2 (as Audacity's new owners from 3.0.0 on have had...issues, to put it lightly), but also the fact that 2.4.2 specifically was requiring a version of the SBSMS library past what Debian had. It's still the case that the apt version of Audacity on Linux Mint still lacks the high quality stretch functions.

The workaround for this is to compile from source. HOWEVER. Be apprised that if you specifically go for version 2.4.2, there is still a bug around SBSMS, which causes Audacity to crash when attempting high quality stretching. Apparently, if you go for versions afterwards (3.0+, new Audacity owners), or the version before (2.3.3), you will not run into this issue.

I am stubborn, so I have verified that I can now open Audacity 2.4.2 and do a high quality pitch change without crashing. Here are the solution options. Know that both are still compiling from source.

Option 1: Do it manually command by command on the terminal

You will, however, notice that the important download link for the patch is broken. You must get it from here.

Note that you should preface all of the commands listed in that post with "sudo", or they will likely throw an error. (Or do whatever you need to for terminal to continuously recognize root access.) In addition, note that the "pre-installation test" section is not optional. Audacity will not run if the "Portable Settings" folder is not created, and furthermore, the "Portable Settings" folder and all containing files need to have write permissions enabled to the relevant non-root group/owner.

Whether you installed manually or used the script, you will need to go to "/usr/local/share/audacity/audacity-minsrc-2.4.2/build/bin/Release" to launch Audacity. In the file explorer window, you can click the button to the left of the magnifying glass to switch to text input where you can copy and paste the above path. Or, from /home, go up one level, and then navigate through manually.

Change the launcher's icon and add it to the start menu/desktop, per your specific distro and desktop environment.

Option 2: Modify and run a bash script

I found a helpful Youtube video stepping through the process, before they link to a bash script automating the whole thing. However, the script does not include the 2.4.2 patch. There are also a few modifications that need to be done to the script.

Modifications to make (right click the .sh file, open with, pick some text editor):

Line 35: change the dl_directory to match your own system. (Specifically, you probably need to replace "piuser" with your own account name.)

This change also needs be done on lines 115, 116, and 120 (or replace the hard coded parts with "${DL_DIRECTORY}").

Line 77 (optional): add "patch" as a dependent package to check. Like Python, it's mostly likely already installed, so you could leave this commented out.

Lines 139-142: Not a modification, but a note that I didn't end up using this (left it commented out), so I did have to download the 2.4.2 source code from fosshub manually and put it in the location specified by dl_directory. I also put the patch there. If you do want to try to automate the download, you'll not only have to add another line to also download the patch file, but both the source code for 2.4.2 and the patch have hyphens in their urls, so you need to either add backslashes to escape them, or enclose the entire url in quotation marks. But I also can't guarantee that either of those things will work, since I ended up doing the downloads manually.

Line 150: Per the manual installation above, the patch needs to be applied before the build. Add this code block at line 150 (after the script checks to see if the "Build" folder exists):

#SBSMS patch required for 2.4.2 if [ -f "${DL_DIRECTORY}/changepitch.patch" ]; then sudo cp "${DL_DIRECTORY}/changepitch.patch" "${DIRECTORY}/${VERSION}" fi sudo patch -p 1 < changepitch.patch

That's it for changing the script. Save it, close out of the text editor. (If you decided not to try letting the script do the downloads, then make sure you download the source code and the patch and put them in the dl_directory location at this point.)

Enable the script to be executable. (Right click the .sh file, Properties. On the Permissions tab, check that "Allow executing file as a program" is checked.)

Double click the .sh file. I suggest doing the "Run In Terminal" option so you can see the progress. (And if it's really short, probably something went wrong. The build section takes 20 minutes.)

This script does not include installing the offline manual for Audacity. That is covered in the guide posted in Option 1. Sorry, you'll have to do some terminal typing after all.

Change the launcher's icon and add it to the start menu/desktop, per your specific distro and desktop environment.

‘Soap’ Roger x Reader 1/2

Part 2 || my masterlist || add yourself to my taglist

Contains: Fluff, tender sexy times, a little nsfw, some swearing

Word count: 1.3k

Summary: You have exams coming up and you’re studying like crazy. Roger decides that it’s time for you to take a break and relax a little.

A/N: Here it is! This is actually my fourth story that I have written but I haven't posted any of the others yet. I'm still very new to the whole writing thing but I'm enjoying it so far. English isn’t my first language so there might be some grammar mistakes. Also, I got inspired to write this due to a story named 'Soap and water' by @rogers-wristbands. I also got some inspo from the movie 'Call me by your name'.

I would like to thank @misshystericalqueen @hiyadarlingirl and @mazzelloplots for their kind words and for making me feel confident enough to post this.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun writing this and I hope you'll have too reading it.

You were sunken into your history books when you heard the sound of water streaming. The soft sound of bare feet entered the room you where sitting in. It was Roger.

“Hey love, I'm taking a bath, wanna join me?”

You turned around to see Roger wearing nothing but his boxers. He sure knew how to distract you.

“Rog I need to study you know that.”

“But you also need to take care of yourself baby. You haven’t showered in days.”

Roger walked closer to you and wrapped his arms around you from behind. He nuzzled his nose into the crown of your head. “mmmm” he hummed. The vibration sent shivers down your spine.

“Please?” he hummed.

“Okay, fine”

Roger smiled as you stood up from your chair.

once you were in the bathroom, Roger pulled you in for a hug. You stood there for some time relaxing at the feeling of his warm body radiating against yours.

“let's get you undressed, shall we?”

“huh?” It wasn't until now that you realized how sleep deprived you were.

“You really need to take better care of yourself love,” Roger said, his hands resting on your waist as he stared into your eyes. “ let's get you cleaned up love.” He gave your cheek a soft kiss and moved to his knees to take off your slippers and socks. You were ashamed of how you looked in all honesty. You were wearing a hoodie and an awful pair of sweatpants. they were grey, sagy and stained. And your face was bare like a baby's butt. But Roger didn't seem to care.

He hooked his fingertips into the waistband of your sweats and slowly pulled them down. You in return pulled one leg up and then the other so that he could move the legs of the pants over your feet. Your panties followed the same fate as your pants and when he was finished undressing your bottom half he pushed your shirt up a little to give your lower belly a kiss. You looked down at his loving gesture with half-hooded eyes. A lazy smile appearing on your face.

He came back up and you threw your hands in the air. Rogers fingertips softly brushed over the skin of your torso as he started to take off your hoodie and your shirt. The gentleness of his movements made your heart melt a little.

“You're so beautiful.” He said, softly, once he had discarded your clothes onto the floor.

In the meantime, a pile of soap had formed and Roger turned to close the faucet. After that, he took off his boxers and grabbed your hand to pull you towards the bath.

Roger went in first and you followed quickly. You sat with your face toward Roger and scooped a handful of soap into your palms. Big bubbles flew through the air as you playfully blew it toward Rogers' face.

“Watch it, lady, I don't want to get soap into my eyes.”

“sorry,” You giggled. You wiped over his face to wipe away some leftover bubbles.

You started washing yourself and Roger did the same. Helping each other in the process. You fooled around for a bit before you two came to sit in an intimate embrace. Your legs were draped over Rogers, belly’s only a few inches apart from each other.

Roger lazily wrapped his arms around your torso. You draped one arm over his and snaked the other one underneath is armpit laying your hand on his shoulder. You relaxed into his embrace, softly placing your head onto his shoulder. And a deep sigh of relief slipped from between your lips as you felt tears prickling in your eyes. You were so exhausted and stressed. Your nose started to get watery as a tear came rolling down your cheek. You started sniffling and Roger noticed, of course he did.

“Hey, hey, what's wrong?” he sounded concerned and surprised by the sudden change of climate.

Another tear came rolling down your cheek as you lifted your head to look into Rogers baby-blue eyes. “I-I...I just-" you stammered "I just feel so exhausted and... I-I feel like I work so hard but it just doesn't do anything.” Another tear came rolling down your face and you could taste the saltiness when you poked your tongue out to lick your lips. You felt numb.

Roger cupped your face with both hands and pressed his forehead against yours. “Come here, it's gonna be okay. I promise.” Roger cooed. The tiniest smile appeared on your face as you tried your best to relax. “I know you can do this.”

You nodded at his words, drawing back to wipe away some of your tears.

“Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?”

Silence filled the room for a minute as you sat in the warm water. You noticed that the heap of bubbles had almost disappeared and that Roger had used one of your favorite bath bombs. The smell penetrated your nose --- lavender --- and you took the deepest breath you had taken all day. He really knew how to take care of you.

After some time, that had felt like forever for Roger you finally broke the silence. “You’re so beautiful,” you said almost softly, brushing your hand over his cheek. He really was, you’d have to be blind to think that this man was ugly. He had these beautiful smooth features that made him look so effortlessly beautiful. A perfect mashup of feminine and masculine.

Your fingers moved closer to Rogers' lips. And as a reaction, he parted them slightly as you brushed your index finger over them. They were soft and you felt all the tiny ridges and creases. Roger licked your fingertip ever so slightly and let you continue with your journey over his lips while he observed your facial expressions with half-hooded eyes.

Then, Roger took your finger into his mouth, swirling his tongue over the curves of it. You hooked it into his cheek and softly pulled him closer before he released your finger with a pop. He moved his face even closer to yours and swept a wet stripe up your lips with the tip of his tongue. His warm breath hitting your face.

In the meantime, your hand had moved to the base of Rogers' neck, and your lips crashed into his. It was a tender, yet passionate kiss that made your brain a little fuzzy.

You noticed a familiar feeling building up in the pit of your stomach as you moved your lips away from Roger's. And you took your lower lip between your teeth, slowly letting it escape from the hold of your teeth.

Roger noticed this and leaned forward to suck at a sensitive spot in your neck that he knew drove you crazy. A mix of a sigh and a moan slipped from between your lips. This motivated Roger to keep going. He sucked hard yet gentle at the skin of your neck. But you knew there would be a hickey the next day. Roger lowered his mouth to your collarbone while moving his hands to your breasts, kneading them softly. Then he moved even lower and took one nipple into his mouth.

You placed your hands behind you in the bath and leaned back to give him more space. Roger started flicking his tongue over the little nub and then he softly tugged at it, owning him another moan. Your other boob was still occupied by Rogers' hand and he started rolling your nipple in between his thumb and index finger.

“Rog...” You hissed. Your head falling back.

“Is this okay?”

“God, yes. Please, give me more.” You begged, finally being able to let go of your stress and anxiety.

“Sure love. Gonna make you feel better hmm?” He hummed. Moving up and forward to press his lips against yours again.
