Re: Question Reducing the Speed of a file using Gold wave

2011-04-02 Thread Colin Howard
Greetings,

In the effects menu, go to time warp, be careful though, try a small sample
of the file until you have it sounding ok, remember (or save) settings this
will sort it.

I've opened GW mine is v5.58, I've created a file, put some recording in it,
now do alt-c for effects and w for time warp.

Now, you will see a list of presets, I suggest go down to 200% similarity,
in my experience, this is the best of the algorythms available.

Tab now to change percent button, quite a few tabs to go.

Tab again to the edit box which will show 200.000, this would double the
speed, so you want to slow it, change the 200 to, say 95.

Tab to window size which shows 60, change this to 20.

Tab to search range which shows 10.00, change this to 5.00.

Tab either to preview or ok, see if this is ok, if so, apply to whole of
file, if not, adjust values, remembering the window size and search range
will affect how true the sound is, very much a case of trying it out.
Don't, whatever you do, apply time warp to music and expect good results;
this should be avoided until you are thoroughly familiar with settings and
how to use them.

Re: BBC iPlayer

2011-04-02 Thread Colin Howard
Greetings,

The IPlayer has been replaced by something called the RadioPlayer, which
supposedly incorporates bbc, community, commercial and probably other
stations too.  the idea is to try and standardize the interface.

Have a look at:

http://www.radio-player.co.uk


The IPlayer still works and will remain but accessibility to time line,
pause, restart  seem to have been lost.

There are contacts being made in the UK for these matters to be addressed.

The radio-player is, in my view, not so easy to use as is being trumpetted
over here.

Hi,

The other development, is to integrate the player into twitter and 
facebook and I think bebo.


So that friends can see what you are listening to.
I've always told them, but there you go, the beeb has to screw it up.

How to inport to Goldwave?

Do any of you know how I can take one of my songs from my iTunes library and 
load it into Goldwave? It is a live recording and I want to fade out and crop 
the applause.

If it would be any easier, I do have it on a CD, but I don't know how to import 
the song on to my computer except through iTunes.

Vicki, look in the tools menu in goldwave and there should be something 
called CD-reader which will allow you to rip the tracks onto your computer. 
Once you activate it, it should be self explanatory.

Re: How to inport to Goldwave?

2011-04-02 Thread Colin Howard
Greetings,

What format is the song, .mp3 or .wav or windows media or some form of which
I know not?

If .mp3 or .wav, can you see it in the ITunes system, sorry I don't know
much about ITunes, I assume there must be folders in which case, you must be
able to access these from GW in the usual way.

If you cannot access the song via the folders, to get it off the cd, very
simple.

Put cd onto pc and go into tools and down to cd reader and enter, the rest
should be self-explanatory, just make sure you know the track required and
rip it onto your hard disk, then work on it as with any other GW file,
saving it as desired.

To use fadeout, place start marker at the place where you wish the fade to
begin, the finish marker must be at the end of the file, or if you wish to
lose the very end, delete as with any other part of the file.  Now go into
effects, then u for volume, o for fade out, then I assume you want to fade
to nothing, so cursor down the presets to the one which says something like
fade to silence linear, you should then get a nice, gentle fade,  if you use
the fade to silence logrythmic the fade is much more sudden and sharp, it is
not gentle, it starts slowly and fades faster and faster.

Hope these few comments are of use.

Re: How to inport to Goldwave?

2011-04-02 Thread Christopher Wright

If you were to import from your ITunes library, here's what you would do.

disclaimer: I'm using Windows XP.


1. Go into the my documents folder.
2. Go into the my music folder.
3. Go into the iTunes folder.
4. Go into the iTunes media folder.
5. Go into the music folder.
6. From here, you would have to locate the folder containing the audio you'd 
like to edit. You should be able to open the files in Goldwave.


You might be better off, ripping the audio from the CD.
1. Press alt-T for the tools menu.

2. Press enter on CD Reader.
3. If you have more than one CD drive on your machine, select the drive 
where the CD is.
4. Press the tab key six times. This will put you in the list of tracks on 
the CD.
5. Now you need to tell Goldwave which tracks you want to copy to the 
computer. Tip: Files that are checked will be copied.
6. If you want to rename the tracks, here's an opportunity to do that. Tab 
to the rename button and press the space bar and type the desired name. 
Repeat this step for each track.

7. Tab to the save button and press the space bar.
8. Here you tell Goldwave where to save the files and what format you want 
them saved in, [Wave, MP3, etc.].

9. Press the space bar on the OK button.

Windows Media Player and M4A files under Windows xp

Hi!

I have no trouble playing M4A files with Windows Media Player under Windows 7 
but can't do the same with Windows Media Player under Windows Xp, does anyone 
know of a plug-in or anything I can get to change this?

Not asking for myself really as I don't much care for audio under Windows Media 
Player, asking for a friend and as I said, Windows Media Player with Windows 7 
works just fine!
