well, what is wrong with krec?
I have a USB WebCam and I just tried krec to record something. It works.
Well, so the problem with Audacity is more or less resolved. It turns out that my firejail application was somehow interfering with its startup. I needed to create a firejail profile for Audacity, then it started up as usual, I already made a couple quick test recordings.
All I really need to do now is to find where I hid all my customized settings from myself, so that I can import or overwrite the current defaults. Otherwise, the playback is pretty rough and distorted, but using effects like normalize, amplify, and some special EQ settings (which I can't find at the moment) bring the sound back within tolerable listening range.
However, I never did manage to get krec going. For my own music, I prefer to use audacity to remove distortion, clipping, etc., and krec doesn't have many features like that. But for quick voice recordings, krec might be convenient, so I would like to get that running properly, if possible. I went through all different settings, read through the help manual and man pages, but nothing seemed to change. Usually, in fact, the record option wasn't even available, only playback; and when record did seem to work, it only produced some empty files of a few kb, which could not be played at all.
