Subject:WMA Conversion back to WAV Posted by: MayorCool Date:12/19/2000 2:12:00 PM Does anyone know of a way to convert WMA files back to a useable WAV format? My computer crashed, and now I'm left with only WMA versions of older songs that I would like to continue working with in Acid.
Subject:Re: recording from a cd ex...LimpBizkit Reply by: DaveP Date:12/21/2000 9:55:00 AM Hi Jeff: You can record songs of a CD into Acid. You would however need to set up some things in Windows. Here is some information on this. I would suggest that you go to start/programs/accessories/ and then to entertainment (for win 98) or multimedia (for NT and win 95). Once there you would select the volume control. After you have done that you should go to options/ properties. Now you should be looking at a dialogue box that has adjust volume for written at about the top and two buttons below saying play back and recording. You would want to select the recording button. Once you have done that make sure that you a put a check next to the box that is for your CD or line in which ever way you are recording. Then hit the OK button. Now you should be looking at a mixer view. Once there make sure that you have a check in the box next to the word select under the CD or line in slider and that the volume is about ¾ of the way up. Once you have done this bring up whatever application that you use to play CD's on your computer and then hit the play button. You would the hit the record and the start button in Acid. jeff wrote: >>I've been trying to figure out how to record or import >>clips from songs off of a cd (ex: Limp bizkit, hed pe, >>etc.). do i need another program other than acid dj 2.0? >>any input would help. thanks -NetGod

Sorry for your loss. I would hate it if that happened to me. Bad enough I have to deal with general crashes in ACID Pro.

Does anyone know of a way to convert WMA files back to a
useable WAV format? My computer crashed, and now I'm left
with only WMA versions of older songs that I would like to
continue working with in Acid.

Hi Jeff:

You can record songs of a CD into Acid. You would however
need to set up some things in Windows. Here is some
information on this. I would suggest that you go to
start/programs/accessories/ and then to entertainment (for
win 98) or multimedia (for NT and win 95). Once there you
would select the volume control. After you have done that
you should go to options/ properties. Now you should be
looking at a dialogue box that has adjust volume for
written at about the top and two buttons below saying play
back and recording. You would want to select the recording
button. Once you have done that make sure that you a put a

you should be looking at a mixer view. Once there make
