Subject:Track(s) labelling Posted by: caroljant Date:11/14/2007 10:33:15 AM I have Audio Studio 9.0b ad am using it with Vista Ultimate and playing back thru Windows Media center. I am trying to digitalize my old tapes using a Nakamichi RX 505 tape player. I get a variety of results. The basic sound business is okay. But, the labeling is all over the place. I get “unknown” titles; or a good title and the tracks are labeled completely screwy with times all wrong and even the composer listed as a track. My procedure: 1. Place tape in Nakamichi. 2. Select tools-vinyl restoration 3. after getting sound levels: 4. Start recording and then start Nakamichi 5. The small dialog window stays on while recording 6. I hit the same button I did to start recording wen I am done recording 7. Click next…label title, track info, etc….click next 8. I forgo the audio restoration and peak normalization and simply hit next 9. I have tried two different things next. Either selecting save tracks, etc or leaving both blank. Neither seems to help. If I select save tracks I get random tracks when the recording finds false tracks. 10. so, I leave it unchecked and click next 11. Then I click leave underlying data window open and finish. 12. The data stays there for editing and I do that…mainly relocating the track markers. 13. Then I save the file after naming it. 14. When I check it the result is screwed up as mentioned. Help!!!
Subject:RE: Track(s) labelling Reply by: Chienworks Date:11/14/2007 3:23:41 PM I'm using the full version of Sound Forge, not the Studio version, so there are some differences. For one thing, i can't seem to find your step 7. When i finish recording i'm immediately at your step 12, nothing inbetween is there at all. When you say you click next...label title...etc., what does that dialog box say? What's the title bar on it? What format are you saving these files in? It sounds like you want to use ID3 tags. These are available in MP3 but not in WAV.

This flips ,e into a wizard and all I do is follow my nose and click next. There are some decisions; but very few. When I get to step 7 a screen coes up that wants to be filled in. It's header is "vinyl records and restoration". It is basically a form to be filled in. It asks for album title, artist, genre, and then indicates a number of tracks that I have to fill in. This number is invariably not what the number sjhould be because the software saw "silence" and misread it. But, their intent is for me to identify the tracks. I have tried .wpa and .wav savings to file with equally bad results. The tracks do appear under the record heading....but they are garbled in their description. There is some mystery here in the step where you can say either "burn cd" or "save tracks as audio files on your hard drive". The next screen has an option to "leave underlying data window open" for editing when there are the wrong number of tracks.
Subject:RE: Track(s) labelling Reply by: caroljant Date:11/15/2007 5:55:23 AM well...progress is being made! I tried editing one of the single tracks by selecting tracks (which SF calls "regions") and dropping them into the work area. I then selected "save all" and saved tracks which were labelled as "sound 1", "sound 2", etc. When I went to Media Player they were displayed neatly under one record heading except that the title, artist, etc. were listed as unknown. I edited these in and edited the "sound 1" etc. to read as it should be. For example: 1. Andante cantabile.con molto, etc. So far I'm happy. Imagine my surprise when I went to Windows Media Center, and selected music library. The Four movements are listed with the first movement at thebottom. No amount of redoing and writhing can fix it. Any thoughts?

I have Audio Studio 9.0b ad am using it with Vista Ultimate and playing back thru Windows Media center. I am trying to digitalize my old tapes using a Nakamichi RX 505 tape player.
I get a variety of results.

The basic sound business is okay.
But, the labeling is all over the place. I get “unknown” titles; or a good title and the tracks are labeled completely screwy with times all wrong and even the composer listed as a track.

My procedure:
1. Place tape in Nakamichi.
2. Select tools-vinyl restoration
3. after getting sound levels:
4. Start recording and then start Nakamichi
5. The small dialog window stays on while recording
6. I hit the same button I did to start recording wen I am done recording
7. Click next…label title, track info, etc….click next
8. I forgo the audio restoration and peak normalization and simply hit next
9. I have tried two different things next. Either selecting save tracks, etc or leaving both blank. Neither seems to help. If I select save tracks I get random tracks when the recording finds false tracks.
10. so, I leave it unchecked and click next
11. Then I click leave underlying data window open and finish.
12. The data stays there for editing and I do that…mainly relocating the track markers.
13. Then I save the file after naming it.
14. When I check it the result is screwed up as mentioned.

Help!!!
