What BitTorrent program should you use?

I have tested over 20 bittorrent programs and they all run at about the same speeds when properly set up.

I would rate Vuze and uTorrent as the two best. They both have all the basic features that are needed, excellent support and are leaders in the bittorrent field.

Vuze is larger and uses a good amount of RAM. It has many more features available in the program and through its plugins. The latest being its "Devices" tab, which will convert (if necessary) and transfer to other devices such as iPod, XBox, Ps3 etc.. There is also the Vuze download platform , which offers legal downloads and an outlet for independent media producers.

uTorrent is the smallest bittorrent client (263KB) and uses the least amount of RAM of any bittorrent client. Yet it has all the basic features needed for torrenting. Their latest advance is the introduction of uTP transfers, which make throttling by ISPs difficult, if not impossible.

Both uTorrent and Vuze have excellent support through their FAQs, forums, guides (uTorrent) and Wiki (Vuze).

See the related link below, Best Free BitTorrent Client, for more info and links to downloads and set up guides.

How do you make a song instrumental on wavepad?

You cannot remove vocals completely with Wavepad. No program can.

You can reduce the volume of the vocals with the Effects -> Special Effects -> Reduce Vocals function, but this will alter the other instruments so that resulting audio will be in mono, and sound like it is underwater.

How do you isolate sounds in audio tracks?

You can do any number of things, from cutting around the sound you want inside your audio editing software, then using equalisation to try and remove frequencies not related to your sound.

Another possibility would be if the sound is panned center in a stereo recording, you can use a tool like Adobe Audition or other audio app or plugin to extract the center channel information from the stereo signal. This is often used to pull voice samples from say a movie, for use in a music track.

In imovie the built in mic sucks how can you record with your own mic?

You will need to use your own digital voice recorder and then import the audio into the computer to put into iMovie.

If you have a USB microphone you can plug that in to use. If the microphone has a jack plug you will need an adapter to connect the mic to a USB socket.

The built in mic is not too bad it can be adjusted in the Input section of Sound in System Preferences.

When opening itunes says iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration AudioVideo playback may not operate properly i was unistalling files and not sure if i deleted a file to play sound?

Try this, it worked for me...no downloads or rebooting..quick fix.

Ever get the message, "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."?

Here's one possible fix.

  1. Go to start -> run. If your keyboard has a 'windows key', which looks like the windows icon and is often located next to ctrl/alt, you can get away with pressing (and holding) this key, and tapping the 'r' key. I use this shortcut almost every day. On that note, windows-key+e I use even more- try it.
  2. type 'services.msc', without the single quotes. This opens a list of the various services running on your computer.
  3. Make sure iTunes is closed.
  4. Locate "Windows Audio," and see if it's running. If it is, the status will show 'Started'.
  5. No? Well guess what, iTunes needs this to be running in order to communicate with your audio device. Start it. There's a link to start it along the leftmost column. Once it's started, find a blank area within the services window, right click and hit refresh. Or just tap F5. Has the service died? If not, skip to step 7.
  6. The service died, didn't it? Look for a 'Windows Management Instrumentation' service. This needs to be running for Windows Audio to be running, even though it's not listed in the dependancies. Fire it up, then fire up Windows Audio.
  7. Fire up iTunes, and enjoy.

For Video problems: Open QuickTime Player and go to 'Edit' -> 'Preferences' -> 'QuickTime Preferences' -> 'File Types' -- check here to see if the file format of your problem video files is selected.

For Audio problems: Open QuickTime Player and go to 'Edit' -> 'Preferences' -> 'QuickTime Preferences' -> 'Audio' -- Here you will see a Device is needed that will play your sound. Select 'Audio Playback and Recording Devices'. I have Realtek AC'97 as my device. I had to reinstall it to fix my problem. If you are having an Audio problem it may be due to having no device or an improper device.


ANOTHER SOLUTION:

Not sure how to add another post/answer here so I am tagging onto the bottom. I had the same error message and uninstalled and reinstalled every driver, itunes, quicktime, you name it. Worked on it off and on for 3 days. The answer for me... the speakers had come unplugged from the back of the Computer. MAKE SURE YOUR SPEAKERS ARE ACTUALLY PLUGGED INTO THE BACK OF THE COMPUTER
