If i have a mixtape i created years ago and i want to digitize it an then add tracks to it how would I do that? I tried to create a batch list but it doesn't mix seemlessly.
Hi, I tryed this and now for some reason it randomly makes a tone like a bell when its playing, but it keeps sounding off in the same spot on the track....any idea why this is happeneing?
Ahhh u are clever my friend. no i did not but it had never done that before until I tried this hiss reduction. Let me ask u another question...Is the newer version of cool edit comparable with other quality programs. This is the only recording program i have owned except for cakewalk, unfortunately i couldnt record guitar with it :(
Sounds as if you have the noise reduction plug-in - this has to be licensed separately, which would explain why you only heard the sounds when using it. The main app is probably licensed OK.
When you say "newer version" do you mean Audition? That's what it's called now that Adobe have it. I have seen audition in use, and it's similar, with various improvements. I think it's good quality, though I hear it's expensive. Incidentally, I use Cakewalk Sonar too, for music work.
at 06:41 you open a window and say "my reference window says" what do you press to get it? and then at 7:34 which comand you use to get the sampleand to remove the hiss from your sample? what do you press?
Sorry if Iam being an idiot,I do need help. thank you.
Ah I see! Well the reference file is just a text file I created for making notes, and is not part of Cool Edit.
The button I am pressing at 7:34 is in the noise reduction dialogue, and I think it's labelled something like "get noise floor". It analyses the current selection and remembers the spectrum of it so that it can later compensate for the noise within the true signal.
Thanks for your comments. I'm glad it was of some help. I digitized the tape by running it from my tape player (actually a Yamaha MT120S 4-track) into my audio card (M-Audio Delta 44) and hitting "RECORD" in CoolEdit. No real complexity :)
couldn't you just reduce hiss on the whole track (it won't affect the louder sounds at all) and then use a compressor with a short attack and a long release? treating everything individually will of course give best results, but maybe it will work fine with a compressor
I know what you mean - and in fact, I pretty much used that approach on another project. However, this one is very difficult. It was recorded on an old cassette player with AGC, and you wouldn't believe me if I told you the dynamic range. Some of the speech literally IS at a LOWER level than the hiss - but the ear can perceive it, so it's my duty to "rescue" it :)
how do i save my music? not as a file..

@djarchitect:
Arrrrrgh!!! My reply to you got ditched. I'll try a shorter version!
1. Join your sections on 1/75 second multiples (CD tracks are rounded to the next frame and there are 75 frames per second).
2. If that fails, buy Sony CD Architect. It is excellent.
Hope that helps! :)

how do you get the reference file? and how do you get a saple ? can you tell me what you click on? thank you for posting this video.

Not sure what you mean by reference file.
If your other question relates to capturing the source material, I just played it through an audio card from a tape deck.

i personally love cool edit, it's got an amazing amount of effects and options.
this was pretty informative though i'm afraid i knew roughly half of it already, but knowledge is always helpful, thanks for some good tips!
only question i'm left with is how you digitized the tape? i'm afraid i don't know how to myself.
thanks mate

which is better cool edit pro or Mixcraft?
BankheadBoyCool 4 years ago
I'm afraid I have never used Mixcraft, so I couldn't tell you. As with most of these things, it probably depends what you want to do.
macronencer 4 years ago
yeah it depends, but i think mixcraft is better
