| 120437 | 2003-02-19 19:27:00 | Sorry bazza I just felt like your posts were a plug for musicmatch. I have used it before but I wasn't a big fan of it, personally i use J Rivers MediaJukebox for my music/vids etc. I'm not saying its necessarily better but it works for me. Question Bazza (you may have already said ths previously). Does musicmatch allow you to record in wav format? |

| 120439 | 2003-02-22 04:38:00 | we are trying to record using MS sound recorder (the one that comes with windows, we use windows ME) we have been trying both line-in and microphone inputs, the sound comes out the pc-speakers. But sound recorder doesn't register a thing! We mucked around with control panel, and various volume control icons, but nothing works.... I am feeling quite dispondant. ?:| |

| 120440 | 2003-02-22 05:01:00 | Misty: I have not tried using MS sound recorder but I did get a bit mucked up with my recording until Liam put me right. On my ghetto blaster the plug is in the "headphones" port and the other end is plugged into the "line in" port at the back of the computer. That is coloured blue on my machine. I have Win XP so these procedures might be slightly for you. Double-click on the sound/volume icon in your task tray to bring up the volume control panel. Go to Options>Properties and click on the Recording option. Make sure the CD Audio, Line In and Microphone boxes are ticked then click OK. That should bring up the Recording Control. In there, make sure that ONLY Line In is ticked, nothing else. Now go back to Sound Recorder and have another go. Hopefully it will now work. |

| 120441 | 2003-02-22 05:05:00 | Hi Misty: If Win ME is like Win95/98 there are two "mixers" for sound as follows: Play control - this controls the inputs,& levels of the sound from your pc speakers . (in this you need to "mute" any unwanted inputs, e . g . mic, to avoid feedback when recording) Record control - this controls the inputs & levels of the sound to record to a recorder program, or transmit using online phone & talk programs . (in this you need to "select" the wanted input, e . g . mic when recording) Both need to be setup, depending on what you want to do . It appears it is the record control you need to setup for your recording . Double click the Vol icon in system tray . Click options/properties/select the recording button/ok . Make the settings as required . Good luck . . |

| 120442 | 2003-02-23 04:12:00 | Susan,if you have an input with one channel louder than the other,I use the volume and balance controls on the record control panel to adjust the sound.Very handy when the program I'm using to record to PC,like CDWave or CDex or Roxio/Spin Doctor, (which does show 2 channels,where the others only show a combination),don't have the facility to adjust the balance. The only downside is that you can't make the input any louder than it is from the outside source.The volume can only knock back the signal coming in. Alright if it's too loud of course. Having a play with Goldwave at the mo.But am happy with CDWave.(Have paid for it while the $ is high!) :-) |

| 120443 | 2003-02-24 06:06:00 | "In there, make sure that ONLY Line In is ticked, nothing else . " Thanks Susan B . that was the key - once No 1 son had done that the rest was a breeze . Terry Porritt said he thought that Sound Recorder only recorded 60 mins at a time, which is what we found . We downloaded the program recommended by CYaBro which really worked well . We will try Music Maker another time A great team effort ! thanks all :) :) :) |

| 120444 | 2003-02-24 07:00:00 | Neil: Thanks for that info, I have added it to CardFile. ;-) Misty: Glad to hear that you got things sorted. I have done quite a few tapes myself but (as usual) have been sidetracked onto other things over the last week. I must discipline myself to actually finish all these jobs that I start! :p :D |

| 120445 | 2003-03-27 04:14:00 | I want to transfer some birdsong tapes to CD. Now it's easy and compact enough to transfer music tapes that I (or you) can hear to CD in MP3 format. But I understand one aspect of MP3 compression is that it eliminates frequencies outside the range of the human ear. However some birds, eg. tui, often sing in frequencies outside of human hearing range. But I still need these on the CD. Is it necessary to use WAV format, or is there some other more compressed format that can still include frequencies that MP3 doesn't? Alternatively, can one option MP3 in such a way that one has user control over the included frequencies? |
