Re: [CGUYS] Audio transfer
If it's the Effects that you want to access you do need to ' select ' that portion of the audio that you want to apply the effects to by dragging thru it or using key combination ' command A ' to select all. Some functions will be greyed out if they are not applicable , ie no stereo to mono with a mono track. If there are other things that aren't working you'll have to be more specific. Also bear in mind that while Audacity is a marvelous application for the price it's also a get what you pay for proposition. You may want to edit your audio into it's smallest parts first and work on each file separately to save the frustration of the inevitable crash.

You can do full editing and export with Audacity, but the program is complicated. The preferences are almost too thorough. I've done audio and video editing for years, but Audacity really threw me for a loop when I realized how many hidden features it has. I have to read through the manual and help files to find the exact features I want. The preferences for Keyboard and Mouse list hidden commands. Start with Help--Show Welcome Message. Have you installed the LAME library for MP3 conversion? Other programs you may consider are Sound Studio [full featured, user-friendly], http://www.freeverse.com/apps/app/?id=5012,and GarageBand, http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/. I know several people who use Audacity for creating and editing sound tracks for TV shows and advertising, so I'm sure it can do what I need, but am not sure I have the patience to learn all its features. BTW, one friend uses a $40 4-channel mic mixer from Radio Shack, http://snipurl.com/bf2g4, for her commercials. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Resodding the mall, was Re: [CGUYS] Senate Approves
Peace is possible the day the Palestinian people want to live in peace. To date the majority has not so chosen. I do not support everything Israel does or has done, but until all their neighbors, including the Palestinians, accept its right to exist and live in peace, the war those neighbors declared continues to their detriment. As the best example of a functioning representative republic in the region we should aid them as we can. It's incredible you dare make this claim. Palestinians aren't occupying and controlling access to Israel, nor do they limit the ability of Israelis to travel. I suggest Israel no more desires peace than you claim the Palestinians do. It's especially apparent if you judge base on actions. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Resodding the mall, was Re: [CGUYS] Senate Approves
I am not an authority, but I do know some of what is going on. Part of the problem is that in the mind set of both parties neither one belongs there. Palestinians believe that the Israelis do not belong there, and the Israelis do not believe that the Palestinians belong there. Also note that both religious backgrounds of the combatants feel that they have a God given right to the land. Add to this the revenge mind set of both sides (you hurt me I need to hurt you more.) We come at this with a western mind set which teaches love your brother, care for your brother. The eastern mind set (middle eastern) does not have this love your brother concept. It is an us and them mind set. If you are not part of us, you are them and you are outsiders. You have to do a lot of studies into comparative religions and really study and know Islam and Judaism to see where these folks come from. By the way to keep this partially on topic. The Israelis have had top notch development of software applications over the years. This is a very complicated situation and has taken over 20 years to try and resolve. It will probably take at least another 20 before we get to a true stalemate peace. Stewart At 01:05 PM 2/6/2009, you wrote: It's incredible you dare make this claim.

Re: [CGUYS] Needlepoint
I have two ideas for you. The more sane one is to use T-shirt transfers. You print onto the transfer sheet (standard paper size), then iron the pattern onto the shirt, or in this case, the canvas. For a larger image, break it up onto several sheets and piece them together on the canvas. You can find the sheets online and maybe at Staples. I know that people have used them on fairly coarse canvas like tote bags, so it should work fine for making a template on needlepoint canvas. The next is kind of a wacky idea, but ice cream shops like Carvel can print fairly detailed scanned images onto blank ice cream cakes with edible ink, so why not canvas? Some of those cakes are pretty big. I don't know how much the ink would run, presumably not too much for low rez images, but the real problem would be persuading the machine operator to try it. At 03:25 PM 02/04/2009 -0500, b_s-wilk wrote Wait! Here's a computer question: Can you scan a picture you like and print it on canvas using an injet printer set to low res so it doesn't bleed through? If you can put CDs/DVDs in special inkjet printers, why not needlepoint canvas? [except for size] Betty I'm not sure about running canvas through a printer. :) I don't do needlepoint--I do counted cross stitch, and work from a chart. I do have cross stitch software that will allow you to scan a picture and turn it into an editable chart, with thread colors coded and named in 2 brands of floss. It's not particularly easy to obtain really good results, but it's fun to play with. Couldn't you do needlepoint from a chart?

Re: [CGUYS] Audio transfer
Assuming that you are using Audacity for legitimate purposes (otherwise we shouldn't help you and Tom will yell at us), what are your issues? I've only used Audacity a little bit, but I've tried it on OS X and Linux, and I haven't seen any loss of functionality on OS X. The only real issue I have had in my limited use is in selecting the input source. Audacity is stuck on the default in OS X and you have to change the source with the MIDI setup utility in the Utilities folder. This workaround and others is on the audacity wiki at http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mac_Bugs. See if your issue is there.

Re: [CGUYS] Taxes and good life
And a principle enabler of that opportunity was a people unshackled by restraining government and class structures, free to make the most those opportunities through hard work. This is the concept of everyman as noble savage. Stanley Kubrick said it very well...Man isn't a noble savage, he's an ignoble savage. He is irrational, brutal, weak, silly, unable to be objective about anything where his own interests are involved -- that about sums it up... any attempt to create social institutions on a false view of the nature of man is probably doomed to failure. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Taxes and good life
Until very recently in our history few Americans would assume that if they failed at something government would back them up. This is plainly false. Going back 1000s of years history shows us people working together in an organized if imperfect fashion to solve common problems. You are arguing for a brutal and savage world. Is that wise? Over time people have gotten better at working together in an organized if imperfect fashion. The cons/neocons call that big government. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
