Hi, Robert,
I use Wave Corrector. It's fast, works well right out of the box, and you
really don't need to worry about the graphic portions of the thing, and it
costs $45. Goog le it for the correct site.

Hi Folks,
I've embarked on the daunting but enjoyable task of copying a very
large
collection of LP records onto computer, using Sound Forge. The 
quality
of
the recordings is generally very good but some do have annoying pops
and
clicks. I've tried using the presets in Sound  Forge's 'Pop and
Crackle
remover without much success. I could probably get rid of some of the
noises
manually but that would be far too time consuming. If anyone can 
offer
advice or knows of another programme for removing unwanted sounds, 
I'd
love
to hear from them.

Best.
Robert.

Hi Robert,

If you're not happy with the click and crackle removal of SF may i
suggest DePopper which costs around $18 and is available from:

http://www.droidinfo.com/software/depopper

You can download a trial version from there.

Good luck.

Re: new computer for audio editing

 Mickey!  Low Latency in this context simply refers to the latency in a
sound cards being instructed in what sound to make and it's actually
producing the sound.  This issue commonly comes up in music production.
For example I have a software implementation of a Hammond B3 organ on my
computer.  When I press a key on my computer keyboard or MIDI piano type
keyboard the organ plays through whatever loudspeakers are connected to the
computers sound card.  If I use this organ with most off the shelf sound
cards I will have to wait maybe a quarter of a second or 250 Milliseconds
between the time I press a key and hearing a sound.  With a Low Latency
Sound Card I will only have to wait 1/100 or ten Milliseconds or so.  A
quarter of a second is a long time but one one hundredth of a second is
bearable.  I'm not sure the response is any faster than that in a real B3.
This is true of almost any software implementation of a musical instrument.
 A Low Latency sound card is typically more expensive.  The one I use
cost about $200.  They are available for as little as $100.  Some of the
more recent Sound Blasters claim to have low latency capability but I've
read bad reports about them.

does any one out there use nero burning rom version 6.X?
if so, what is the purpose of this update anti virus scanning option under 
the help menu in most of the applications??

i definitely see it under the help menu for nero express, and i am curious 
if i have just accidentally installed another virus scanner over the top of 
my trend micro pc-cillin 2005 one.

Re: Adobe Audition

2005-05-06 Thread G. McFarlane
Hi Dave
It's not as simple as in Sound Forge. I myself tend to use the selection box 
(Alt and 6) to input times then adjust the edges with the appropriate 
keypresses. In Audition 1.5 selection can be made with the shift key and 
arrows/pg up/pg dwn, Home and End.

It takes time to get used to but it is reliable.
Best wishes
Gordon

What I am referring to is, you have a sound file oven in single track and
you want to do an edit on that track.  Let's say you want to cut out a
portion of that track.  In SoundForge you mark the segment you want to cut
out with the left and right brackets and than hit delete.  What is the
equivalent in Audition.

May I ask what sort of material you two transmit from your computers to your

the CDs you might pick from a shelf and load into your stereo if you could 
find them, for instance?  Or are there other purposes, as well?

Understanding and comparing compression formats

2005-05-06 Thread Yardbird
I've just been learning how to rip music from CDs to my hard drive using 
several different programs, and the one that interests me most at present is 
Windows Media Player because of the variety of formats it offers.

As I explore and test these formats, one thing confuses me:  You can rip 
Windows Media Audio files about six different ways, not counting the 
lossless option.  Now, I'm aware that .mp3 ripping can be adjusted to use 
bit rates higher than the default 128 in order to restore a little of the 
information that a lower bit rate strips out.

but understanding that is simple compared to the range of .wma options. 
Here's the main thing that puzzles me.  In the WMP menu for setting your rip 
options, there are *two* sets of .wma options, each with its own range of 
sound quality level.

First is the .wma choice that uses a slider to provide you with,as I recall, 
three levels of sound quality.  I've ripped the same track with all three, 
and not only listened to them-- the differences are audible to me, although 
pretty subtle compared to the difference between any of them and a less 
compressed lossless or uncompress .wav version.  Still, for saving space, I 
appreciate the compression, so I remain interested.

Okay.  So the smallest .wma sound quality level creates a really small file, 
much smaller than the same tune ripped to .mp3.  And it doesn't sound any 
worse than the .mp3, was my impression.  The next higher levels create 
larger files, with the highest quality level creating a file for any given 
track that's about the same size as a 192 bit rate .mp3.  If I go this way, 
I'd suppose that's the method I'd use, so you get a little better sound 
quality than an .mp3 for the same file size.

But then, right beneath this on that menu, there's a variable bit rate .wma 
option, again set by a slider, but this time starting at 0 per cent and 
going up.  Zero per cent of what?  And, more to the point, if this has to do 
with changing bit rates (doesn't the other method, I wonder?  How else would 
you change quality except by varying the bit rate?) where are the 
indications for *what* bit rate this slider takes you through?

So that's it.  I'm really wondering about this stuff as I try to settle on a 
preferred rip method to set for my usual use.  Does anyone understand 
whatever it is I'm not getting about these two adjustable .ma formats?  Is 
there anywhere to read a simple primer about them?  I don't feel the need to 
do research if someone can just explain what it is I'm not understanding. 
But just in case there's some online information about this that would 
clarify it all, that would be fine, too.

Thanks,
Daniel
