I am a bit confused, if you ment the program called "dvd audio extractor" then I would have to ask how is it not accessible? I use it a lot stil and it does update often. Not sure otherwise wich program you refer to. I like switch but I wouldn't by it soon as they expect you to pay for each upgrade

I've never been able to figure out how to get high bit rate mp3s with Format Factory. It seems to top out at 128 kbps and I prefer bit rates of 320 kbps. Am I missing something? -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dave Scrimenti Sent:

To try to answer Clifford's question, I checked out the current version of format factory on the web, because I haven't updated since version 2.96 and didn't know if things had changed. However, I found out that with the new version, you can not opt out of the Ask toolbar during installation. An

Just can't please some people , its only a File Format Converter all the same. I've never used the basic version but the Professional version offers quite a bit of stuff that a lot of File Format converters for audio doesn't like near full control of the MP3 encoder etc. On 14/08/2013, at 10:5

I Perhaps its set in the Basic version? I don't know, I know I have full control of that in the Pro version and just a tip, if you're going to use bit rates of 320KB then you may as well stick MP3 and use Lossless FLAC. On 14/08/2013, at 11:55 PM, "Blackwell, Clifford" wrote: > I've never be

Hi all I asked about this before and we had a bit of discussion about it. I see that audacity has an option where you can do this, but the vocals seem to still be there – very softly in the background but still there. I’m just curious – is there a better program to do this or will ther

When I remove the vocals from some of the stuff I want to use, you can still hear the vocals softly in the backgrounds - especially the s and t sounds that are higher frequencies. There is probably no way to remove it completely? -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun
