I went into the creation process in a little more detail here.

That version of Windows had two sound panels. The one you get when you right-click on the little speaker icon is the first one -- usually Playback, and if you click on Options or Aux or something like that, it will show you the second panel with even more faders and switches on it. That's the record...

Yes. While the one, long performance is on the timeline, put a Label (Apple-B) at the beginning of each song you want as a stand-alone music file. When you're done, File > Export Multiple, and Audacity will create a pile of individual files for you. Drag the pile into iTunes, create a PlayList, pull...

Another note. The above is not the most sonically pure and perfect way to make a Music CD on a Mac. It is, however, the technology most people use to listen to iPods, so it's usually good to go.

Let me know if you want to get crazy.

One more note. There is one way you can dig yourself a hole with Audacity. Open up one of your WAV files (before you put it into iTunes) in QuickTime and press Apple-I. Does the Info panel say anything about 32-bit?

<<<I guess I need a tutorial.>>> Or maybe you just need to know how iTunes works. You got your music cuts into iTunes, right? Mac iTunes will accept both Mac AIFF or Windows WAV files, so everybody uses WAV. File > New Playlist. Drag your music cuts from the main iTunes window into the new playlist....

That brings up an interesting idea. The standard Edit Decision List. THE edl for years was CMX. Even when the last CMX machine was turned into a table lamp and ivy planter, the CMX EDL lived on as the closest anyone could get to a standardized format. I've never heard of anyone trying to export an E...

You probably don't want me telling you they're all based on XML Extensible Markup Language. <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?> I'm just so happy to find someone who doesn't think the AUP file is a sound file..... The up side is the ability to basically do whatever you want in...

<<<or send me an email at [email protected].edu>>> Or not. We try to keep discussions on the board so the maximum number of people can see them. It's rougher than you would think. Damage such that any increase in volume causes waveforms that no longer resemble the originals. You have to generate a d...
