Audio Editing and Recording

I've had audacity for a while now and it hasn't had any problems

you may have a out dated version or maybe your running it on the wrong OS

I'm running on vista. if you are worried about viruses, there is a portable version that fits on a flash drive. it is on: www.portableapps.com. it contains no viruses.

Windows Movie Maker does not have a feature that allows for extensive audio editing. You will need to use an external audio editor to make changes to the media prior to importing it into the program.

condenser mics need 48V phantom power, make sure that the 48v is on, then check to see if the R is on and the I is on on your channel and see if they are wired to the master output.

Many pitch-correction plug-ins are available for different programs. Gsnap from GVST is a free VST plug-in for Cubase, Acid Pro and Cakewalk Sonar running in Windows.

The largest commercial consoles made have 64 input channels. They are not called 'tracks'. Mixers above this size have been custom-made, but are rare.

a 6.1 or 7.1 surround receiver would be required to amplify the sound for this number of speakers.

Apple iMovie cannot create alternate language tracks. You can use software like Final Cut Studio or Adobe Premiere to do this.

iDVD can select alternate languages, if available, from commercial DVDs by pressing the Audio button on the transport panel.

Ribbon which has a ribbon in it, tube which needs to be warmed up, and condenser/ dynamic which may or may not need an extra 48 volts to run it (called Phantom Power). They have ranges like Omni, directional, figure 8, and cardioid.

According to the Collectible Compact Disc Price Guide 2 by Gregory Cooper, the first commercial CD's were brought to the US market in 1983. Commercial compact discs were first introduced in Japan in October 1982.

Compact disc technology was first demonstrated in 1976 by Sony, and the Red Book compact disc standard was first published in 1980.

You can install Vegas on another computer, by Sony's license allows only one install to be running at a time. You can use the same activation code as your first install, which you can get from your account on the Sony Media Software website.

A modern CD player can play CD Audiophiles discs, MP3 files, and may have a connector for an iPod.

"Phantom Power" in use in the recording industry is ALWAYS 48V.

Some types of mics use other types of power like T-power or an internal battery, but this is not "Phantom Power".

Most jukeboxes have tracks selected by one number and one letter. The letter I is left out so that it is not confused with the number 1.

You can load the audio file into a program like Audacity, and then Export them choosing the 8-bit resolution. Because of the low quality of these recordings, most programs will not record at this depth, you must convert the files afterwards.

There is a way to remove the instrumentals from songs using WavePad in three easy steps. You will start with going to effect tab, then click on the voice button and then you will click on reduce vocals.

Creating Acapella's is difficult. There are plug in's that you can get for virtual DJ that allow you to put filters on. Some of the filters will block out the instruments, while others will block out the voices. They don't always do a good job at either so you can tighten it up by adjusting the Hi Med and Lo frequency responses on the main interface. I've seen VDJ run on Mac's and on PC's. Everytime I've seen it on PC, I have seen the PC crash at least once. I cannot say the same for Mac, and still I don't prefer Mac. Virtual DJ can be used to gig with if you have a controller and a laptop specifically designated toward DJing. The controller isn't a must, but it really does add a ton of flexibility. If you are an inexperienced DJ, I would stick with PCDJ, or but an IDJ2 ( by Numark ). You get the same benefits without the extra junk you will never use. However if you are experienced, and have 2 turntable controllers, VDJ is a tough comeptitor to Serato Itch ( or Scratch ). Good Luck.

The first compressors were actually not made on purpose, but were a result of the limitations of magnetic tape recording. Recording at a high level results in tape 'saturation', which limits the dynamic range of the recording.

The first commercial studio compressors (not custom-built) were the Teletronix LA-2A (1965) and the Universal Audio 1176 (1968).

Yes, there is, creative's Sound Blaster X-FI Go uses a USB port to connect to a laptop or desktop to have high fidelity sound using the sound card.

Open them up in iTunes, or Windows Media Player, or any other program and play them.

If you are asking how you can predict if a torrent has been seeded with a corrupt song to help prevent its illegal distribution, you'll have to figure that out yourself.

It is a ghost voice you get from a digital recorder. It usually sounds like people talking in Static on the radio.

80.414dB.

(If each source has it's own random phasing and are therefore non-coherent)

Cubase is better for the beginner. ProTools is not considered a "home" recording solutions. Try the simpler version of Cubase, Cubase Essentials.
