Subject: Re: mp3 direct cut?
Simon, here are some shortcuts, which I compiled for aprevious message.
Hope this helps.
One can rewind and fast forward using
cursor left and right or page-up and page-down. The latter two keys move
faster than the first two. How many frames each pair moves can be set
via the menu system.
b: Marks the beginning of a selection
n: marks the end of a selection
Note, that one can have several selections simultaniously in one file.
To activate a specific selection, one can use the menu system of
Mp3DirectCut.
The following commands use the numbers row above the letter keys, not
the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard. These commands move
by frame. One frame is about a 38th of a second:
1: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the left
2: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the right
3: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the left
4: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the right
With the following keys, one can exactly hear, where the margins of a
selection are:
F5: Plays the two seconds before the left margin of a selection
F6: Plays the first two seconds of a selection
F7: Plays the last two seconds of a selection
F8: Plays the two seconds after the right margin of a selection
F9: Plays the file around the selection as if the block had been cut out
To cut a selection one can press the delete key. This does not touch the
MP3 file. It just modifies an MP3DirectCut index. Therefore, cuts
can be made quickly.
There are also menu options and shortcut keys to save a selection into a
different file.
To split an MP3 file, which consists of a complete album, one can use
the pause detection feature, which can be reached via the menu system.
It will set a marker before each song. These markers are actually
selections with a length of zero. To check the markers, one can go from
one to the other with Control cursor right and Control cursor left. The
file can then be split according to the markers. Or one can save a cue
sheet file or an MP3 DirectCut project file. Both would contain the
markers. With these marker files, one can easily find certain positions
in an MP3 file.
To go to a specific time position, Control-p can be used. The edit box
is a bit strange, don't delete the words in it, just modify the file
position. One has to leave the apostrophes, which seperate hours minutes
and seconds alone. The program needs these apostrophes
Then, there are the recording shortcuts, which I mentioned in my first
message about MP3DirectCut:
r: Opens the record dialog, in which sighted people can adjust the
recording level
p: Starts the recording, when the recording dialog is open
As much as I know, there's no pause function in the program.
s: Stops the recording.
