Modifying sound of a 3gp file

[anonprivate]

Hello.

I have a 3gp file that has sound that I would like to modify, for example, change the bass and treble, etc. I have tried vlc. Amorak, and Dragon Player. Can you recommend a programme (graphical interface) that will allow me to edit and save the file.

Thanks

Audacity ,,,,I believe can do this ,,,can I walk you through it ,,,no

+1 for Audacity.

Audacity is very easy to use, very powerful and should do what you want perfectly.

Thanks to both.

This is a videofile. Will Audacity be suitable for such a file? Because you have recommended it, the answer must be yes. Audacity for Ubuntu platforms (presumably).

Best wishes.

Oops! OK, I should have checked the type of file first. I just assumed it was an audio format file.

Not sure but maybe KDEnlive can do what you want. Or Handbrake might be able to. A search online might be useful.

ya ,,OOPS you can edit the audio with audacity ,,,,but you will half to use a video editor to replace it ,,,,,,,I just DL'd some sampel 3gp's and will do some testing .

OK forget Audacity for video work ,,,,install Kdenlive ,it's in your repo but you may have an older version I have

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ dpkg -l | grep kdenlive
ii  kdenlive                                        4:17.08.0+p16.04+git20170822.0248-0                   amd64        non-linear video editor
ii  kdenlive-data                                   4:17.08.0+p16.04+git20170822.0248-0                   all          non-linear video editor (data files)

in xenial ,,,,,,,,,,,,I used a sampel 3gp from hear http://www.sample-videos.com/ it's big buck bunny clips in several formats/containers 3gp is at the bottom .

in my test I,,,,,,,opened kdenlive dragged the sample to the project bin box (upper left) then dragged that to video1 in the time line ,,,,,,right click the video time line and click "split audio" then rite click again and click "ungroup clips" ,,,,now you can edit the audio ,,,,,,, I chose ,,,right click the audio track time line >add effect>audio>0-f (their are hundreds of them so grouped in sections) "10-band stereo equalizer " the effect will appear in the effects window next to "project bin" I turned up the first 2 sliders (bass) and a midrange ,,,,,,their is a preview player "upper right" where you can test what you are doing ...after having the audio changed enough to be "apparent" I clicked the "render" button "top menu section" you do not get a 3gp option ,,,,but the original 3gp is a mpeg4 with acc audio in a 3gp container ,,,I just chose HQmp4 ,,,the render took about 6min on the 10MiB file and produced a 34MiB mp4 ,,,,,,,if I had to put it back into a 3gp contaner I would use "ffmpeg"

I then put both videos into VLC's play list and played a bit of each back to back ,,,,,,yes the audio edits took well ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Good work, Vinny!

I use Kdenlive occasionally myself ... but I'm not so familiar with it.

I have Handbrake on my system. I believe that it is a transcoder, rather than an editor.

VINNY

It is just a mark of my appreciation for all the work that you have done.

I should be able to hear the difference in sound from my file, once I have got the hang of the programme.

Best wishes.
