Homework Help / How it's done, Part Two: Modifying mp3's for dummies
« on: July 10, 2009, 03:28:09 PM »
When modifying MP3 files downloaded from youtube or grabbed from other sources there is mainly two things you want to change, cut out parts like comments and applause and modifying the volume.


How to do that??


Very simple:


Download Direct Cut here:

http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_software/mp3_tools/mp3directcut.cfm

Install the program and start it up.


In this case I took Kevin Skinners performance on America's got talent because I secretly love country ....

The start file is the youtube video downloaded and converted as posted earlier.

Click file/open and choose the file.

Then push play and wait for the moment you want your new mp3 to start, click "set begin"

then ffw or wait till the desired end, then click "set end"

You see a part of the file with diagonal stripes, that's your selection:





Then click edit and choose "crop"

Voila, long introduction talk and jury comments are cut off and you have your song.


Volume:

It's very irritating when you listen to a bunch of mp3's and you constantly have to adjust the volume because one is loud and the

other almost complete silence.

It's very easy. We take our file

Choose edit and then "normalize"

The program checks your file and suggest the amount of Db that would make a nice volume level.

Click Ok and you're done.

If you want it to be louder you can play with the "Gain" option.



There are a few other nice features but that is for you to find out.This is just a short how to..

Homework Help / How it's done, Part one: Record music from youtube.
« on: July 02, 2009, 03:13:07 PM »
Wow! You see a cool video on youtube and you definitely want that one on your MP3 player.How to accomplish that:

First you go here:

http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-YouTube-to-MP3-Converter.htm

Download and install the free converter. Start the program and your internet browser.

Go to youtube and find your favourite video. Copy the link from your address bar.

Go to the converter and press the "paste" button. Optionally you can choose a different music quality.

The file will download and a few minutes later you have your mp3.


Note: 256 kbps only makes sense if you watch/record HQ youtube video's


Must haves:

I say it is around 30.

Although Luci puts a big egg in the basket, we need 15 teenagers to counter that.

Oude Pothuys is more a live music place. But then again all the spots at the oudegracht have that dungeon look.

To answer your question. No, I am not from Utrecht but live very close. I work there a lot and used to go out there when I was younger. Takes me 15 mins to be in the center from my house.

Of course you can look it up but the aim of this little game is useless info.

If you honestly could answer this question within 10 secs you can do the next one.
