Re: Merry Christmas

Best wishes to all - whatever winter holiday you celebrate (Christmas for me).

Trevor - first in the US? And a White Christmas at that? Not so here in Chicago. Actually in the 50s yesterday and 40s today. Still no measurable snow - each day we set a new record for latest first snowfall.

Re: Recording audio off of computer speakers

Closing this out - I tried Trevor's suggestion regarding recoding off the computer (DUH! - should have thought of that myself!) Worked perfectly. Acoustica "break into stems" to isolate vocals- I tried the trial versions on several songs and every one had some instrument "bleed throug...

Re: Recording audio off of computer speakers

Quick trail of Acon Digiutal (standard version); not bad but far from perfect; it seems to mistake some instruments as vocals - and so there are "squeals" in some parts. Plus it doesn't handle harmonized vocals well (though I COULD take the main and pitch shift to accomplish the same) I'll...

Re: Recording audio off of computer speakers

Great suggestions! Sorry I'm just getting back to this.

The Acon Digital product is intriguing.

Trev - your suggestion is sheer simplicity. Why didn't think of that!

And others as well show I was over-thinking this.

Thanks much, all!

Re: Recording audio off of computer speakers

Audacity seems to do what I want. Granted, it's not high quality but a long as the room is quiet and my speakers are decent, it will serve the purpose.

Thanks!

Re: Recording audio off of computer speakers

I'll try Audacity - I just figured anything it can do, Mixcraft should be able to do better.

Recording audio off of computer speakers

As part of my one man garage band hobby, I use vocals from JamKazaam (JamTracks) and record the instruments themselves. But while there are many such cover versions there, there are still many songs I want to record that aren't. Sing myself? Well, that's a possibility I've long considered but have y...

Re: Moving computers after the holidays

Got a feeling this isn't going to work well. No info on how to transfer it and I suspect I can't just copy it.

But thanks for the help

BTW I can't subscribe to the newsletter. Clicking on that section of the page does nothing.

Oh well - maybe I have an email address from my original purchase

Re: Moving computers after the holidays

I hate to bump up my own post but I though maybe now that the holiday is over in the US there might be an answer to one or both of my questions?

Re: Alternatives to Soundcloud?

I downgraded my account for now and thre is no music - I think because it doesn't support FLAC unless it's premium? Anyway, in case anyone is looking that's why you see nothing.

Re: Alternatives to Soundcloud?

Ah - the Temptations medley! Recorded on a cassette recorder with its built in microphone in 1970! My Rock and Soul band as a senior in high school - I used some filters etc from Mixcraft to get it it somewhat listenable. Probably will get around to trying to improve more someday I only preserved a ...

Re: Alternatives to Soundcloud?

BTW - I don't sing in any of the song ; the vocals are from JAMKazam (where you can buy songs by cover bands for $3 and you get individual MP3 tracks of each instrument and vocals; but all the instruments are mine one way or another (playing, "entering" in the piano roll, drum pads (EZDrum...

Re: Alternatives to Soundcloud?

Well, here it is -

Let me know if you can access it; I guess the default bitrate for playing is very low and I'd have to reset each to make it higher; they are flac files but they seem to play

The site seems buggy though - it stops playing sometimes for no reason.
