Hi Larry,
Believe me I know verry little about this stuff.  Please keep us posted 
though, if time permits, these topics are most interesting.

best,
Joe

Re: a somewhat techie question about the LAME encoder and Total Recorder

2005-03-30 Thread Joe Paton
Hi Larry,
Did you get the full lame release?  I mean did you get the razorlame which 
I would call a front end for the lame encoder?  Here you can make a number 
of adjustments to the encoder.  However, I am not sure if those adjustments 
will be passed to gold wave when you use the encoder.  This is probably a 
dumb question, but if you record to .wav format, do you get the image shift?

Not sure this waffle helps, but it might help a little.  Just a lame excuse 
don't you know.

Best,
Joe

Hi listers,
Hopefully there is a solution to this rather annoying problem when 
recording with the LAME encoder. When playing back a program I recorded 
from XM Radio last night, I noticed a problem that occurs with some MP3s 
where instruments or vocals will shift from either the left or right 
channels almost to the middle channel, so to speak, when there is silence 
in  the opposite channel from the solo instrument or vocal. This happens 
also in other combinations, but the point is, that it shouldn't. This 
effect is most noticeable when listening through headphones.

I can't seem to find any way to work on more advanced LAME settings within 
Total Recorder like one can using CDEX. Does any one have any ideas as to 
how to best go about tinkering with this thing, so hopefully I can stop 
this behavior?

Thanks very much in advance,
Larry

Re: a somewhat techie question about the LAME encoder and Total Recorder

2005-03-30 Thread Larry Higgins
Hi Joe,
I think I have a copy of Razorlame on the puter somewhere. Actually, I was 
making the recording using Total Recorder. Also, I managed to find the 
settings I was looking for, at least some of them. I really felt kinda 
silly after I realized where they were located, under changes in the 
Recording source and parameters tab. I think the shift may now be gone, but 
I'll keep listening lest they turn up again. I will also put TR through the 
.wav test to make sure that the problem doesn't some how rest with either 
my XM receiver, or maybe those shifts were introduced into 
the  reproduction I was recording by the producers for reasons known only 
to them g.

Hope you'll hang in there with me, because I might need some help with the 
finer points of using Razorlame.

Thanks for your suggestions,
Larry

hi
I wonder if it's the version of the lame encoder being used?  I did hear 
about some artifacts in some files with some versions, so i would try 
updatiing your lame dll file and see if that helps any, i hope. that 
problem can be extremely annoying!!!
