Subject: RE: [motm] RE: Quick and easy way to make MP3 files from WAV files.

Thanks for the replies from everyone.

I ended up with Mike's suggestion of iTunes for Windows. It converts great!
The only problem I'm having with it is a lock up when I go to the
Edit-Preferences-Burning tab...it just locks up and I have to use the Task
Manager to kill it. Hmmm....

Anyway, I was using XP's sound recorder for the first 4 files and then I
discovered it could save in MP3 format, but it was really crappy as shown:

I found my Cakewalk CD, installed it, and used that to record a couple
minutes from a CD while changing various knobs. I saved it in WAV format and
then opened that in iTunes and saved it again in MP3 format. (called
FSwave1.mp3 in that directory) It sounds better, but there were a few areas
where it got too loud.

I don't want to spend too much time screwing around with sound files right
now...I still need to get the sheet metal wrapped up and launched.

Tony

Hi Tony,

There are many such apps. available free on the net - as you know. I
have about 8 or so on disks in various places scattered throughout my
mess - yet I have been just using Sonar for awhile adnb haven't
easily located them - and i am sorry: I cannot remember the name of
a single one of these things convertors!

But - just do a search and you will find the most trusted and
prevalent. If you are still in doubt - I can look around and get you
or send you what I have. Yet they really are everywhere - just like
all the things that shouldn't be there too.

the majority of stuff I've come across - seems to be for the guys who
do gaming soundtrack stuff or some such 'other' "cryptic music
making" methods - and then the hackers, etc...

There's a whole world of this stuff out there which I've never had a
clue about before - and its easy to go spinning off trying to figure
out what its for - then you realize - its everyone else trying to
figure out "music" without really going through some of the necessary
steps. But I digress...whatever it takes!

Email me offlist if you need further assistance-

(Like my small arsenal of MOTMs - my 2 UEGs are dying to find a home
and start intermingling with their buddies - and now I'm gonna have
to get this FS thing too!)

Does it end?

Cheerio,

Rog
