Yes, here are some instructions that someone sent along last week or so: Here are some shortcuts for this fine program, which may be useful to
some here: b: Marks the beginning of a selection n: marks the end of a selection Note, that one can have several selections simultaniously in one file. To activate a specific selection, one can use the menu system of Mp3DirectCut. The following commands use the numbers row above the letter keys, not the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard. These commands move by frame. One frame is about a 38th of a second: 1: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the left 2: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the right 3: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the left 4: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the right With the following keys, one can exactly hear, where the margins of a selection are: F5: Plays the two seconds before the left margin of a selection F6: Plays the first two seconds of a selection F7: Plays the last two seconds of a selection F8: Plays the two seconds after the right margin of a selection F9: Plays the file around the selection as if the block had been cut out To cut a selection one can press the delete key. This does not touch the MP3 file. It just modifies an MP3DirectCut index. Therefore, cuts can be made quickly. There are also menu options and shortcut keys to save a selection into a different file. To split an MP3 file, which consists of a complete album, one can use the pause detection feature, which can be reached via the menu system. It will set a marker before each song. These markers are actually selections with a length of zero. To check the markers, one can go from one to the other with Control cursor right and Control cursor left. The file can then be split according to the markers. Or one can save a cue sheet file or an MP3 DirectCut project file. Both would contain the markers. With these marker files, one can easily find certain positions in an MP3 file. To go to a specific time position, Control-p can be used. The edit box is a bit strange, don't delete the words in it, just modify the file position. One has to leave the apostrophes, which seperate hours minutes and seconds alone. The program needs these apostrophes Then, there are the recording shortcuts, which I mentioned in my first message about MP3DirectCut: r: Opens the record dialog, in which sighted people can adjust the recording level p: Starts the recording, when the recording dialog is open As much as I know, there's no pause function in the program. s: Stops the recording. These were just a couple of the shortcuts and functions of this powerful program, with which one can also normalize, fade-in fade-out and so on and so forth. Hi Marlaina, Here are some more shortcuts: One can rewind and fast forward using cursor left and right or page-up and page-down. The latter two keys move faster than the first two. How many frames each pair moves can be set via the menu system.
