: I got a CD of nonstop hits and I want to rip it to mp3. But the CD has many different songs. So which software can I use to rip the songs in my CD to one single mp3 file?

: Thanks a lot.

: Please someone help be to find something that will convert cda music track to wav or midi files.

When you record a song from your LP to your Minidisc player it does a A/D conversion but its not a good way to do this. What you need is a much better A/D conversion first. I use CoolEdit Pro 1.2 software to record a song onto my hard disk (either via minidisc with optical input or from a cassette). My sound card is Creative Soundblaster Live! Platinum. This has one of the best A/D conversion algorithms. I can then remove clicks,pops,any hiss etc using CoolEdit and then I can either convert it to an MP3 or a .rm or burn a CD.
You can get quite good info from

You need to Un-Zip it so you can install the program.
The unzipper I like most on Windows is WinZip which
you can get at <a href="http://www.winzip.com">www.winzip.com</a>

I found that even Windows's screen animation causes glitches.

These animations are the kind that you see every time you open a
window or pull a menu. Also, graphics card settings make a big
difference. Basically, anything that requires memory can cause
glitches.

You could hit control-alt-delete to see what might
be still running. Look at your system tray taskbar...

Whatever runs and can't be totally turned off is eating your
memory.

Also, it's hard for a computer to read/write the same drive at the same time
it's easier for it to read one drive while writing another.

this is very true for audio... recording is complex writing,
playing is complex reading...

The computer is doing lots of THINKing about all of this too.

and to make matters worse, it has to draw all of
these damned PICTURES of SOUNDS.

let's think about that one. You have all of this
computo-power to draw PICTURES of SOUNDS.

how useful is THAT...?

if you aren't deaf, you really don't usually NEED
a PICTURE of a SOUND.

Take a good look at a microphone if you know what
one is... notice no camera lense!

look at your grandpa's turntable... no Monitor!

The beatles didn't need oscilloscopes to record
Sgt. Pepper's Hearts Club Band.

screw the bullshit.

trash all of the programs you don't need to run.
you might need to trash a lot of your operating
system's fluff.

then defragment the whole shebang.

add some RAM, and make sure that the system isn't
configured to do some oddball automatic file saving
of ANYTHING.

make sure that you don't have any special file caches going
on.

aayhhh... it's helluva lot of work, but that's why
so many recording studios have waited SO LONG
to even get into computer audio.

The best computers for digital audio aren't even
called computers. They are usually called Digital Audio Workstations, or
digital recorders, or such. This is the curse of digital music...

the most advanced tools are either too expensive or too complicated.

however, the BEST tools, aren't always the most
advanced.

dig?

: I'm a rookie to midi backtrack-making - using Cakewalk 8.0 with a soundfont manager app installed. No info on soundfont usage and management in Cakewalk manual. Where can I get sufficient info/reading in order to make use of soundfonts (if I can) in midi backtracks? Please help!!!

Don't get excited. I don't have the answer, but I'm wondering if we are being baffled by the same mystery. I also have Cakewalk ProAudio 8. I want to use soundfonts or instruments from sample cds that can be saved as a library of sounds. That way all of my instruments would be housed in my harddrive and I would use my midi keyboard for nothing more than manipulating the notes those instruments would follow. Nothing like this is covered in the manual. If this is not at all what you are referring to--sorry. If it is, maybe we can keep each other posted if we find out anything.

Still looking,

: I'm just getting into HD recording. I use a classic ADAT now, so the ADAT EDIT seems attractive because it will allow me to dump down a bunch of my existing work quickly.

: BUT it also seems a bit limited, especially the software.

: QUESTIONS:

: - Can I rig up a system with Cool Edit and Sound Blaster AND have the ADAT/EDIT, too, just so I can access the ADAT?
: - Can I get tracks into WAV files then use Cool Edit, then bounce them back to ADAT with ADAT/EDIT?
: - Would it just make more sense to get a card like Frontier Designs WaveCenter and forget the ADAT/EDIT?

: THANKS FOR ANY USEFUL FEEDBACK!!

It seems you need an optical in from your ADAT. Try the Frontier Wavecenter PCI card that allows opitcal, SPDIF I/O and MIDI. I understand this is easier to use than the ADAT/Edit. Good luck.

: I have lot of rare old songs on tape, want to convert them into mp3. Anybody knows how to do it ?

: Thanks in advance

drop me an email if you really want the "old fashioned" way explained.

: I'm looking for a program that converts MP3s into WAVs. Any suggestions?

What program should I use to make a *.cda play? Please e-mail me ASAP. Thank you.
