Put All Audio Questions Here

Mic in's are usually mono, and not as good quality in's for recording generally. In fact, unless you regularly use a microphone, mute 'microphone' in your windows (or other) mixer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Very easy, I did this this week- go to the Monkey's Audio website and download their program. Open it, load the APE file, and select it and hit "Decompress".

Walk away from the PC for a sec so it works well of course

Does anyone know how to extract music from a DVD? I want to record the credits song in a movie.

Yeah- does your DVD have a VOB file?

Get DVD Decrypter and demux it, etc. It's pretty easy to use, there's a tutorial somewhere.

If you still need help after DL'ing it, I'll post how to do it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If you're cutting songs, then keep it as a WAV file until you're done

I use CoolEdit, but free programs such as Audacity and so forth can be used as well. Of course, I didn't pay for CoolEdit


On DVD audio extraction, do you mean from VOB files? I use CoolEdit also for that, just hit 'Extract audio from video", change 'avi' to 'all files', and select and let it go.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Drakken,

Do you mean, a piece of music is 50 seconds, and instead of the loop ending at 50 seconds it doesn't cut off, but rather, fades the last few seconds at 47-50 or similar?

I think it could be saved. But it'd be tough. Samples please

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Use Disc at Once, and set the first track to have 2 seconds, the rest, zero. It will work.


The Sendspace link isn't working right now, and I'll wait to see your (Drakken's) response to Piccolo's work. Visually it looks promising

- Spike

I was speaking idiomatically.

PN: It wasn't actually 'down', it said something like 'this sendspace link is inaccessible for the moment', probably maintenance or something.

And wow, a pro audio editor huh? Makes me jealous

Here's a few questions off the top of my head:
1. What plugins do you use for noise reduction (actual reduction based on samples, not just transforms that use defaults and destroy audio)?
2. What are some good methods to enhance the stereo field of tracks (such as making a stereo file where most things are clustered in the centre pan a bit more or at least have a wider field)?
3. Are there any good reverb effects you know of that don't stop the audio sounding crisp (as in, don't saturate the audio)?
4. Is there a real reason to use 'floats' (32-bit) when applying effects to 16-bit audio, or when copying/pasting into a new waveform?

I'm sure there's more, but that'll do for now

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Heh, glad I read this thread! I'm currently doing just that.

I've found it impossible to extract/rip the music, but you can get the sound by using an emulator and simply recording with your sound card ('what u hear' or 'stereo mix' or whatever records digitally for your card).

Since the emulator was messing the sound up, I found a workaround- I started recording, then minimised it and it played fine- might not apply to you though.

Which game you doing, out of interest?

How ya doing, buddy?
