OK, the on-line help says something about taking the option "Edit audio file", which is described as "Opens the Sound Editor so you can edit the selected WAV file." Except, of course, I can find no "Edit audio file" command in any of the pull-down menus... Of course, there is an "Upgrade to Easy CD Creator Deluxe!!" menu option, further suggesting to me that I can't really do the audio-edit thing with this version of the software.

OK, I just extracted a CD track to a .wav file for the very first time, thinking that I would probably need to manipulate the .wav file if I wanted to edit it (something that probably can't be done to the CD track directly). I see an option in one of the drop-down menus that says "Split Track", but it's always grayed out - so I can never seem to use it. The 'on-line help' for Easy CD Creator says... So, then, perhaps "splitting a track" can only be done on a 'composite' track??? - and I guess maybe that's some special thing, that extracting a CD track into a .wav file isn't. (Actually, the fact that "split track" is continually grayed out, is what made me think that it was an option that was only available in some content-richer version of Easy CD Creator.) Boy, I guess I'm what you call "really green" when it comes to this kind of stuff. All I've ever done before is burn full-copies of CD's, or made Mix-CD's, feeding the CD ROM drive with disc, after disc, after disc (meaning I've never downloaded the tracks onto my hard drive before), let along done any editing. Thanks for any help, and especially for your patience in helping me. Much appreciated!!!!

I know, I probably could have posted this elsewhere on the board, but I'm asking specifically because I want to edit a couple of the tracks that I want to include in the Blindfold Test I'm putting together. You know, sometimes tracks are just to damn long to include, but the music has some logical break in it that would allow for a clean edit, without making the track feel at all incomplete. Plus, I've got one or two non-commercial tracks I want to include, and I need to edit out a good 30 seconds of crowd noise at the end of the track, and some introductions at the beginning that would give away what it is. Having a "fade-out" at the end of the track would be nicer too, instead of a hard edit. I'm sure there are some Freeware programs, or bare-bones "trial versions" of some meatier software, that would do the kind of VERY basic editing that I'm needing to do. For what it's worth, I used Adaptec Easy CD Creator, Version 4.02d_D5 (copyright 1995-1999) to burn CD's, mostly cuz it's the software that came free with my PC when I bought it (a Dell), early in the year 2000. Actually, I think I've seem that the Adaptec Easy CD Creator software can do this kind of simple editing, but I've never been able to find the right options to get it to work. Maybe they have a more feature-rich version (that I don't have) that does this. (It's been a while since I've looked into it, but I remember not being able to figure out how to do editing when I last tried, about a year ago. I'll check into it this weekend, and try again.) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, !!!!! If you wouldn't mind, tell us a bit about yourself, Selim. Maybe mention some of your favorite recordings (especially, perhaps, some that are a bit more obscure). And anything else you'd like to offer. Welcome!!!

To the tune of "911 Is A Joke"... Going, going, gone! Now my alarm went off a long time ago. Can't you see how slow you're reactin'? You only rise when you feel like you wanna go to the bathroom and take ya a shower. You don't care, and you'll be late anyway. You boss is gonna be mad and dock your pay! And yet you slumber and keep on sleepin' If your hit snooze one more time, then you're D.O.A! Late comers goin' into the office, sneakin' in the back but they'll all know, I betcha! You need to call in quick before they come to fetch ya for the morning meeting, workshop or lecture. You phone will ring when they find your location, You'll lose your job and then receive no compensation! Pretty soon you'll be out of rotation. Unemployment is a fucked up situation! Get up, get up..right now. It's 8 a.m. and you're late for work clown! (Stolen from HERE.)

I think most of you can guess which one is my current favorite!!

Sho' 'nuff is. Check out this thread: Share ideas for Xmas gifts...

That would be a fairly significant increase in the number of RVG's released in any given year. Haven't the been releasing roughly 18-24 RVG's per year, since they started??

FYI, I just got my BFT#4 in the mail today (Dec. 12th), and I got through about the first 2/3rd of disc #1 this afternoon -- while I was running around town, doing errands. I should have some thoughts to post about one or both of the discs, hopefully by sometime this weekend. I've been good, and I haven't looked at this thread -- not even one tiny bit!!!

I was glad to get this one too. A year or two ago, Darkfunk used to have dozens of concerts on-line, all the time (maybe as many as 30 or 40 different shows). Then it changed, and now they only have two or three up at any one time, and they periodically rotate them. (I guess to encourage people to download them, rather than stream them multiple times (like I had been doing).) Anyway, I had heard this particular Miles date once before, but I never did download it -- until today!!! I just burned it, and plan to leave it in the car until I get through it 2 or 3 times.

keep the flava flav clock..I really dig that avatar. Maybe just add a santa hat to him. Somebody with Photoshop, help!!!! Also, perhaps these might be helpful to you Photoshoppers too, with other projects... http://pandemoniumhats.com/images/santa%20reg.jpg http://pandemoniumhats.com/images/santa,yakyak.jpg http://pandemoniumhats.com/we_hats_specialt.htm Edit: One more: http://www.villagehatshop.com/media/b2b-santa-sm.gif

Lord, $6 a CD, and free shipping too????? How the hell can they do that??? It's not like they're selling these to "get people in the door" - unless it's on the theory that they'll surf around the rest of the Best Buy site, and buy some big-ticket items. Really, I absolutely do not get this. Vibes???

If not, it at least must be getting close. I'll have to start looking for one...

DTMX, how many discs is that set?? I'll have to look for it. Don't suppose you have a link, by any chance?? I'll probably try to look myself, later tonight...

Chuck, I am quite interested in what you can tell us about this. First, has Rudy himself ventured an opinion/evaluation on the subject, i.e.as to whether he considers his RVGs superior tot he JRVGs? Second, as an experienced record producer yourself, what do you not like about the JRVGs? and conversely, like about the RVGs? I have many of both and am generally pretty happy with most of them, so have no strong feelings one way or the other. As I've said, I don't have a dog in this fight (I neither own, nor have ever heard a JRVG before), but I'd be currious about your perspective on all this too, Chuck.

I voted for St. Louis, only because I could get to St. Louis pretty easily (from Kansas City), and my folks still live there too - so I'd be set for having a place to stay and all. My wife and I go to St. Louis fairly often too. (And the odds of me getting to Lansing anytime soon, are probably pretty small - much as I might like to.)

80% listener, 20% collector. I never give a rat's ass about getting the "original" or more "valuable" version of anything. I'm mostly all about the music. I don't care about getting LP's, as CD's are quite good enough for my purposes. Now when it comes to a few things, I will admit that I probably have picked up some titles that I might otherwise have not gotten, if it weren't for the completest in me. And I've laos picked up some Blue Note dates that I probably wouldn't have been as quick to purchase, if they hadn't have been on BN. But other than that, I'm really probably 80% or even closer to 90% a LISTENER.

I was slightly slow to warm to this (and Dolphy in general), so this will be a good one for me to reevaluate too. I do like it, and always have liked it at least to some extent. But I don't think I've ever really gotten bitten by the Dolphy bug. I understand why others have, and intellectually I understand why he's so important. But for some reason, I've just been slow to warm to his sound. (I can dig it, but I probably haven't yet really DUG it yet - even after all these years.)
