Extract audio from a video with avidemux and audacity

 ·  🎃 kr0m

Extracting audio from a video can be very useful, in this guide we will make it possible using avidemux and audacity.

emerge -av media-video/avidemux

Once installed, we launch the application and follow these steps:

File --> Open

We position ourselves at the moment we want to start recording.

Selection: Start

We position ourselves at the moment we want to finish recording.

Selection: End

We save the audio:

Audio --> Save

If the recording is not as precise as we want, we can use audacity to trim it more accurately.

emerge -av media-sound/audacity

This software is very easy to use, with the selection tool we can trim the audio at the moment we are interested in, then we paste it into a new audio file:

File --> New
Tracks --> Add New --> Stereo track
Paste and then File --> Export

We save it as “file”.mp3

If the audio is too low, we can increase it with the mp3gain utility.

emerge -av media-sound/mp3gain

To increase the volume:

mp3gain -g FACTOR_FROM_0_TO_9

With this, we would have everything done, easy and fast, what more could we ask for.
