I've tried it but its not a patch on Cool edit and nowhere near as intuitive, but then again nowhere near as expensive Agreed - I love Cool Edit (now known as Adobe Audition), but it's somewhat expensive. Worth it, but still expensive. Audacity has the advantage of being free, well-supported, and it's always run well for me on any machine I've put it on. If you're getting dropouts on 1GHz machine, I'd suggest checking for other causes, such as slow disk access or unneeded processes running. Also make sure you're not running the capture through some other real-time plugins or something else that would chew up processor time unnecessarily. Actually, one of the best (IMHO) things I've used for CD mastering is Wavelab - I do like its "Montage" editing for overlapping, crossfading, and adding tracks, setting track markers, and so on. I know other apps can do this as well (such as CD Architect), but I really like the Wavelab interface and functionality. But again, it's relatively expensive... |

Dubbing Reel-to-Reel to CD
Dropouts has to do with the operating system and what features of it
the recording app uses. My 133 MHz win95 desktop records and plays back real audio flawlessly under any load whatsoever, simply because handling audio samples is done at the highest priority, by real encoder and real player and the operating system. The load doesn't matter because the load is at a lower priority and so always waits when there's an audio sample to handle. If you get a dropout, the computer is programmed to do something else first, or doesn't distinguish the priorities of various threads at all. On the same win95 machine, windows media player playback does show dropouts under load, so obviously there's a capability to avoid them that simply isn't being used by that app. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

It would nicely stream all 8 ADAT tracks of 44.1k or 48kHz, 16-bit audio, without a hiccup (granted, had to use a SCSI drive for that, as ATA-66 just wouldn't handle it). |

I did a lot of multi-track recording on it. A 1GHZ box is way more than adequate. Look for another reason for your problems. I agree. Let me be a bit more clear about this. With old versions of Audacity, I recorded files fine on my old Celeron 400MHz. However, other bugs caused problems, and I upgraded. The newest (as of May) version of Audacity eliminated most of those bugs, but also game me the dropouts. What sort of glitches? They couldn't be overloads? Nope. I'm pretty careful to set my levels. What I'm getting is missing chunks, of a fraction of a second at a time. When I'm recording voice, I'll get something like this: (sample original text from a tape deck, record, etc.) "To ensure impartial judgement of a wine, it should be served blind..." (what actually gets recorded) "To ensure impargement of a winet should be served blind..." It sounds very much like an uncorrectible error you'd get from playing back a damaged CD. The load average is always 100% when recording, and it's 99+% audacity, according to the Task Manager. I suspect that's where the problem lies. However, even if I could get clean data into Audacity (and I can, if I use something else to record), I find that the way it eats memory when I'm chopping up a .wav file is a problem as well. The more pieces I break a file into, the slower it gets. When editing some language tapes, I was typically breaking a 25-minute recording (i.e. one side of a tape) into about 15 tracks. By the time I got than ten tracks split out, the CPU would sit at 100% all the time, and take as long as 10-15 seconds to respond to a single mouse-click. I've got no problems whatsoever with other programs. Goldwave is flawless, and a remarkably light load. Of course it's not free, but it's good enough (and enough of an improvement over free tools) that I'm happy to pay the $50. I should add that a year or two ago, when I was doing some recording with an older version of Audacity, I came across a simple bug and also a problem in the documentation, and contacted the authors. They replied within a day, clarifying the documentation (which was later changed) and acknowledging the bug (which was later fixed). It's a good team, and a good effort, but over the years I keep trying it, and being beaten by one thing or another. Colin |

Maybe you had a hard drive that did thermal calibration. That caused problems for quite a few people at the time. Or maybe your disk controller was crap, or your sound card buffer setting was too small. ATA-66 bus was more than adequate for that purpose though, SCSI being unnecessary for most audio use since ATA-33 came along. MrT. |

My first audio machine was a 33MHz 486 with a Turtle Beach Multisound and SAW software. I could just about manange to play 3 16bit/44.1kHz stereo tracks with no dropouts - as long as I didn't want any real time volume changes. Moving up to a 66MHz 486 gave me 4 stereo tracks and all the volume changes I wanted. I've also recorded 16 mono 16bit/44.1kHz tracks on a 233MHz PentiumII with an RME Hammerfall card and Cool Edit Pro. I successfully played them back into a stereo output but they didn't seem to like being sent to individual outputs. For basic recording of stuff intended for CD I quite like using CDWave which is free and does what it does very well. Cheers James. |

wrote in message . .. As far as I know, there is no freeware that will show the entire file at once, and will allow fine editing at the same time. Doesn't Audacity do that? Disclaimer, I don't use it myself, but it seems to do what most people need, and is totally free open source software. MrT. |
