Dividing clip into tracks

Split the file into the various tracks as files and then put the individual files into Itunes.

Three recorded poems: Achieving equal volume levels

You could try normalizing to maximal RMS power or try to amplify so everyone hasthe same average RMS power (waveform statistics) Chuck On 10/16/15, 6:33 PM, Cherrill P.

need a way to bend pitch of recordings

Years ago a wrote a little C program to do this; unfortunately I can't find it any more (I looked for it several years back). It was relatively easy to do. I think I used text edit and the C compiler on the Mac. Basically, all I did was interpolate and create a new time scale. Chuck On 6/9/15, 5:21 ...

MP3?

Any possibility that a resource fork file is being created? I would suspect one file is very small and the other is the real data.

Want a more visible cursor

I use a small something-or other called Mouse Locator: I have it set up so if I press control-space it throws up a target around the cursor for a few seconds. Haven't gone to Yosemite but it has migrated from 10.4 to 10.9 with no problems. Chuck On 2/4/15 7:50 AM, Michael Rees wrote: Not a good opti...

repairing original distortion

Ears are remarkable -- I remember recording a meeting once where the sound seemed quite reasonable but the recording wasn't that great because of the sound of the air blowing -- it was however understandable. With the wrong mikes where background noise is dominant, it can be hard. The simplest thing...

repairing original distortion

Can you convince the CIA that filtering the audio out is of National Interest? Probably the only way to get much out of it. Maybe someone with more experience can guess how one can get such a horrible sound recording. It might be interesting to know so as to avoid it. Chuck On 9/27/14 9:45 AM, Arnos...

repairing original distortion

Look at it on the screen -- select a section that is typical and do waveform statistics. If there are a lot of clipped samples and if you zoom in on them, they are flat-topped, you probably have a file filled with junk. I did once write a program to remove clipping; unfortunately it was in a scienti...

It depends on what the distortion is and how good a repair job you need.

True Audio

The differences seem to be fair to moderate minimal from what I see on the web. Depending on what you plan to do with the file, decoding time may be a more important criterion. I suspect that nothing will happen unless there is an open-source routine to do the compression and possibly not then as it...

Burned CD won't play

As you said earlier, commercial CDs have greater reflectivity, meaning presumably the light reflected is greater giving greater signal.

Actually, I strongly suspect is the reflection properties commercial CDs read fine the burned CDs play in other machines thus the software on the computer reads a CD and can play it and the CDs are playable.

normalize to maximum volume

As no matter what you do at this point will affect the sound. You could try either the 10-band equalizer or the graphic equalizer as part of the au units (cut the high frequencies). You could try just try overdriving the thing and clipping. It is up to you how badly you want to distort the sound. Ch...
