Hi,
I have a show that I would like to speed correct. How do I go about doing this?
What software is good? Is this difficult?
Cheers,
Chris |

BTW, this is a show I'm willing to let someone else take if they think they can do it.
I was listening to a new copy of the Sammy Hagar Mark & Brian Xmas 2002 show and I noticed the person who gave me a copy must have recorded it at a wrong speed/pitch/whatever. I compared running it with the version on Sammy's web site and mine fell behind.
I got a copy from a person who is a Mark and Brian fanatic. He gave me a copy of the show sourced from the radio broadcast and is not mp3 sourced.
If anyone got this from me in a trade previously, the copy I have now sounds more solid. Hence, it will be worth the time to improve this new source. |

The best thing to do here would be to rip the entire CD as a sinlge track (ie - do a disc image using EAC). Then use something like Cool Edit Pro to adjust the timing. (Effiects -> Time Pitch ...) It will let you specificy the time you want it to take (versus what it is)
Although I've never liked how people will adjust the audio, whether if its for cleaning the audio up, or whatnot. Unless they are dealing with the master copies, they are just altering the audio. The PC can't add any information. Just my 2 cents on it.
That said, Cool Edit Pro is a great audio tool. |

Oh, this is on a cassette? This some-what changes everything. I thought it was a CD to CD thing. The first thing you need to do is capture the audio onto the harddrive. And don't adjust anything, we can do that digitally after the fact. More importantly, record the tape at the highest sampling rates that your soundcard will allow (ie - 32-bit at 90Khz, or somewhere in that range if you can). You can downsample it later to normal CD standard, but when manipulating the audio in any shape or fashion, higher resolution is better (but beware, it will take a lot of disc space temporarily).
Just send me an email and I can help from there. |

Actually, I have it on a cassette but a friend of mine put it on a disc.
I have another low quality recording of the show in normal time. I used this to compare the timing. Hence, I have a source with the time correct. However, this recording sounds like it came from a webcast.
If anyone can do this that would be great.
Basically what I have are two flawed recordings of the same show.
Sheesh, you think a concert broadcast on the radio would have been recorded better. :irked: |

| Okay, here's the deal then. Its still best to record it from the audio cassette at higher rates first. Reason being the end result have less errors. Otherwise, rip the entire disc as one track. Open her up in Cool Edit, go to the menu I told you about above and then punch in the correct time (I believe it lists time in seconds, be as accurate as you can here). Then tell it go. It will resample it back to the proper length. |
