Re: Gramofile

John,

No, sorry I don't know about Gramofile - but in the thread Gale Andrews (one of the developers) recommends some software which is effectively free because of the extended trial period basis - IIRC it was Goldwave. And you can get ClickRepair free for 21 days.

Re: recording vinyl to Audacity

Yes - use the label feature in audacity to mark and label the track breaks (use Ctrl+B shortcut) - and don't forget a label right at the beginning for the first track.

Re: Muddy Sound Quality from Ripped Cassettes

I plugged my trusty old cassette deck (hasn't been used much for a few years, but it is a good quality, component-type, tape deck when new and still in fine shape) via the Ion TT's RCA cables, flipped the switch on the back/bottom of the TT from "RCA Phono" to "RCA Line" and sta...

Re: unusual file

Extract from a quick search of t'interweb: "vox - the vox format most commonly uses the Dialogic ADPCM (Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation) codec. Similar to other ADPCM formats, it compresses to 4-bits. Vox format files are similar to wave files except that the vox files contain no in...

Re: How Do I Extract a Portion of mp3?

Yes, you could do it in Audacity but you would lose some audio quality - as you would be re-compressing an MP3 that was already compressed. There are tools available that will do what you need directly - see this thread http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3309 To do it in Audacity...

Re: Compling a string of mp3's into one

Re: Reverb created

What about the reverb created by connecting the line-in to the line-out? Can I process the input with Audacity to remove this effect? You should ensure that you have "Software Playthrough" turned off in your Audacity Preferences - you don't need to process it out, you need to stop it happ...

Re: Audacity version 1.2.5 crashes when recording 24 bits.
