Hi Betsy. 9.16.4. Automatically Dropping Que Points into Spaces in Music
Files and at Specified Intervals in a file If you have a whole recorded album of several tracks in a single file and you would like to automatically detect the silent spaces between each individual track and get a que point dropped in the middle of these silent spaces you can do so. You might want to do this prior to then using the "Split Files" feature which is also in the Edit, Que Points sub-menu. Do this by: 1. With your whole file album of tracks open, press ALT E, O and then ENTER. 2. SHIFT TAB back to "Auto Que" and press ENTER. 3. You should be in the "Mark Silence" sheet but if you are not, press CONTROL TAB to get there. 4. By default, spaces of at least 1.5 seconds only will get que points inserted into them. You can change some of these parameters if you like, e.g. change the 1.5 to 1.0 for one minute if the album you are automatically dropping que points into has only short gaps between tracks. When finished, just press ENTER to start the procedure. 5. TAB to "Close" and press ENTER. 9.16.5. Using Que Points to Split a file or Album into Several Separate Files or Tracks If you would like to split a long file into separate individual files, such as sections, chapters or separate music tracks from a single track recorded album, you can do this provided that your sound file is in one of a few formats, including WAV and Apple formats. Do this by: 1. If your file has not already had que points dropped in it in the appropriate places, e.g. between music tracks, do this first. 2. With your long speech file or whole music album open in the Sound window, press ALT E (for Edit), O (for Que Point) and then S (for Split File). 3. The split files will go to your normal saving destination folder, unless you change this. 4. TAB to a list of possible formats just before the destination folder browsing tree and ensure that "Use CD Compatible Wave Format and Alignment" is selected if you are splitting music tracks up to then burn onto a CD. This not only ensures the correct Cd sector burning points for the music tracks but it also converts the files to the correct bit rate, sampling rate, etc, format for Cd burning as well. 5. TAB to "OK" and press ENTER. 6. That is as easy as it is simply to get such split up tracks saved in your default saving folder. They will automatically be given filenames such as "Track01.wav", Track02,wav", etc. Note: In the above split files dialogue, if you like, you can change the starting file/track numbering start point from such as track01.wav to, say, track04.wav. You might want to do this to avoid earlier saved tracks being over-written or to avoid one or more of your tracks not being saved at all because of other files already being in the folder with that same name. This starting track number point will be remembered by GoldWave, so be sure to change it back to 1 the next time you use this feature. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
