Hi everyone,
Allow me to introduce myself*
My name is Johnny Chilelli - and I'm happily new on this nice list and
I'm learning a lot from everyone here.
I joined this list because I am interested in getting into a Mac book.My
PA State agency is purchasing a computer for me and I'm trying to gather
a sufficient amount of justification why I would be better off with a
Mac book rather then to go with another Windows only based machine.
For one thing, I don't know anything about the virtual Windows
environment, or just how steep of a learning curve has been your general
experiences in learning the "Apple way" of doing things, but my hope is
that you are willing to freely share your experiences with me so that I
am able to make an informed, and or intelligent decision.. All I know is
that they are looking at purchasing equipment for me to support my piano
tuning business as well as my other work at the local PA VA.My
justification must be based on Product reliability, ease of use and
accessibility of the Mac OS, and needed work related programs such as
database, Words, Numbers, emailing and web browsing.I know that there is
no great solution to my personal database needs in the Windows
environment, but perhaps there is on the Mac?Anyway I'm looking for your
input if you will.
Just between you and I, I have heard that the Mac is especially well
received concerning Musical applications such as is mentioned in this
post, Pro Tools.The Mac would add a nice touch to my K2600 workstation
and Tascam desk setup. But I digress. Again, that's between you and I
because the State will not purchase based on my musical passions alone.
So anyway, I don't have a Mac just yet - and I'm waiting for the release
of the iPhone 5 before I make my final decision about that.But so far I
am liking what I see via the AiPhone list and now here.
Now to my question concerning the subject of my initial reply, I'm
wondering if it's possible to run a Windows based sequencer program like
QWS in the Mac environment. I'm thinking probably not, but that you
would have to use it in a virtual Windows environment. Is this
correct?Another words, it's my understanding that you are not able to
run a Windows based program on a Mac platform?
Thanks,
Johnny Chilelli
Erie, PA

Hi,
I'm not sure if their is more recent accessible version out there. But to
select a piece of audio like in the example you gave, you can use the left and
right brackets. Press the left bracket at the beginning and the right at the
end of the part you want to select.

Hi,
Let me put this to you frankly, me and Audacity aren't friends at all.:-) I
don't at all like the way Audacity works, but since everyone have a personal
taste i could always either learn the beast, which i'm about to sorta do or use
another program. The thing i wanted to ask here are 2 questions to audacity
users out there. Firstly, is there a newer version of the accessible audacity
than 1.3.11.0?
Secondly, how would you go about to select tiny pieces of sound, maybe from 5
sec to 1 min or something, i mean like a cough you want to edit out or
something?
Any help would be appreciated.
