Upgrading Hi-Fi components

2017-05-15 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi there! I think one of the great joys I've had over the last 30 or so years is listening to music in ever increasing audio quality. I was able - through luck and circumstance - get my hands on a hand made Microsieki CD Player 17 years ago which was in mink condition, for those who want to

Hi, I need to turn wave files of Music recorded with goldwave into mp3 files. How do I do this? Of course there is the matter of dealing with the Q points in gw, so I hope there is an easier way to work with these files. . Wat I am doing is taking hundreds of cassettes of music,

Course if you were to save to another format FLAC for example - assuming Goldwave supports this function - you could save your Cue points in the file. On 16/05/2017 3:16 AM, Walter wrote: Hi. I'm assuming you have already recorded the tapes and saved them as Wave files. You could have

Yes, Goldwave handles FLAC files but the question is can it save the Cue points in a FLAC file? I'll do some research on this myself I I could actually find this useful given all the CD ripping I do for the archive. On 16/05/2017 3:58 AM, Walter wrote: Hi. Yes, it handles Flac files.

Hi. I'm assuming you have already recorded the tapes and saved them as Wave files. You could have saved them as mp3 when you finished the recording but as you mentioned cue points, you can't save these as mp3. However if the recording process is complete then open the files you want converted.

So by that do you mean that Goldwave can't see the Cue sheet embedded in the FLAC file until its decoded? I suppose that makes a lot of sense. Players such as VLC can see the embedded Cue file. On 16/05/2017 5:01 AM, Walter wrote: Hi. Yes it does but they are only accessible once you then

Although the effect sounds great initially, it's really not good to do this to files. Most I've heard like this actually introduce a fraction of a second delay between channels to achieve this effect. If you get a file like this and want to fix it, you can just pan one channel to the center

How Does 20th Century Radio Upscale their OTR Shows?

2017-05-15 Thread Kenny
Hello, I'm one who enjoys listening to OTR shows on my Victor Reader Stream 2 on a daily basis. I'm noticing a few of the stations (20th Century Radio for instance) seem to be broadcasting their stream in stereo. Very odd for I know that most, if not all OTR shows were recorded in momo.
