Mp3 to CD

I have a TEAC burner that plugs into the wall. I am trying to get my MP3 files on a CD. Is there something special I need to accomplish this? Currently, I have nothing going from the burner to the computer. I am having no problems recording cd's, but I want the songs on my computer onto a CD. Please provide me any help and details that you can.

Re: Mp3 to CD

: This board is a bit grim as more questions are asked than answered.

OK I've never used a TEAC burner I build my own systems and so keep as much internal as poss.

You've got to transfer the format of your MP3s to a cd compatible form. thats why you can copy cds no bother. To do this you'll need software which comes in many shapes and forms: Soundforge, syntrillium and even some CDRW come with suitable gear. You have to transfer the files to a .cda format.

Its easy once you've got the right software.

Good luck>!

motu d. performer & m/s stereo encoding

I've recently recorded and shot a film in india on a religious festival called holi.
I recorded in undecoded M/S i.e split tracks on a 2 track DAT with a super cardiod on ch 1 and a figure-8 on channel 2 with the thought that I'd encode them into stereo later. Well, now it is later and I"m loving the idea of digitizing my DAT material using the spdif in on a motu 828. The only problem is that I can't do the encoding unless I go back to analog first and run the tracks through a mixer that has the m/s matrixing capabilities. Such a bummer to have to add all that noise.

I've been scouring the web for a plug-in for performer, that might allow me to do this after I've digitized my tracks, but to no avail.
anybody have an idea if there is something like this out there or a way to make it happen. Unfortunately I"m new to performer as well. Doesn't make it any easier. But I'm keeping my hopes up!

thanks in advance!

Re: motu d. performer & m/s stereo encoding

Giving this a little more thought, can't you just transfer the two DAT tracks into Digital Performer, make a second copy of the cardioid, assign those to two channels panned left and right, then take the figure eight recording, make a copy of it and invert one of the copies, assign them to two channels panned left and right, and that is it. Isn't that the decoding process?

Re: motu d. performer & m/s stereo encoding

Your project sounds interesting. I haven't tried this, but HyperPrism from Arboretum will supposedly decode M/S. A description of HyperPrism's features is included online at the following URL.

http://www.arboretum.com/manuals/Hyperprism-DX-2.5-Manual-HTML/stereo.HTM

I think you can get HyperPrism as both a plug-in and a standalone program.

Hope this helps.

cassette to CD

Is there software out there to convert an analog music signal (from a cassette player) to digital?

Re: cassette to CD

: Is there software out there to convert an analog music signal (from a cassette player) to digital?

I am using Sound Forge 4.0 with my system and find the recording almost flawless,and the need for a second take, very rare. It is also very easy to use. I have tried Adaptec's Easy CD Creator / Spin Doctor combination, and had so many problems I changes to Sound Forge, which I cannot speak highly enough of. If within your budget I would surely recommend this product as I find it brilliant.
Good Luck

Re: cassette to CD

You must have the appropriate chord to connect your tape deck/stereo to your computer's sound card (line in). Then check out the audio recording software on this site, something like Total Recorder.

The function you want is called Automation, and how to do it is in the manual. Keep trying to downlaod the manual; it's complex but can answer most of your questions. After that, visit the FruityLoops Talk forum at :

CeQuadrat- can't burn CD's?

Hi! I have CeQuadrat justburn software, and I can't
figure out how to put songs I have downloaded from the
internet onto blank CD's. I can easily copy CD-to-CD,
just not from my harddrive. Is there a special folder
I need to put the songs in? Any help would be greatly
appreciated! Thanks, Scott

Re: CeQuadrat- can't burn CD's?

I've got CeQuadrant but I'm not sure about justburn..which release is it?

Anyhows MP3 cannot be burned onto a cd, it can only be used by the software emulator or portable device such as the MP3 Player. Its not in a format your cd player will recognise.

You can put it on a cd as data and use with other pcs that have the MP3 software.

To create a playable CD from MP3 you have to use software such as Syntrilium or Soundforge to convert the data to digital format which can be burned onto the cd as an audio track (.cda)

Maybe Justburn has this facility(?).

How can I remove the music and leave the lyrics?

I know how to remove the lyrics by inverting one side and pasting on the other, but is there a way I can remove the music and leave the vocal track? I would really like to be able to do that for some remixes I'm working on. Please email me with any help. Thanks.

Editing MP3 Files

I am a skating coach who would like some advice on editing music specifically taking a piece of music; selecting thirty seconds and editing it/pasting it with other sections of music - thereby creating a skating program anywhere from 1.50 minutes to 4.00 minutes. I want to be able to save music off CD's onto the computer (my program does not read them or save them as MP3 or WAV files right now)I have a MusicMatch Jukebox softwear and I downloaded a copy of Goldleaf (?) which appears quite good - if I could figure it out! I am very green at this and would appreciate any advice on programs or sites to show me how to do this without spending 6 hours straight and pulling my hair out. Thank you.
