<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>It's a rather crapy program called "Music
Maker". It's retarded because it loads MP3 files but it will only save in
WAV format. I can't figure out how to zoom, and I kind of don't like it
but I'm stuck using it for one reason and one reason only.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>It has a green button that says "KARAOKE". It's
the coolest thing because you can open any MP3, WAV, or WMA file of any music
you want. Then while it's playing you just klick Karaoke, and immediately
it removes all of the main vocals but not the backup vocals. Sometimes it
totally takes out the vocals, and other times you can still slightly hear
them. Then you just apply the changes and save it as a WAV file. It
will do much more, but I have a vision problem and can't figure out how to use
the other features. It's a great program, but I can't see it well enough
to use it.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>So I take the WAV file and open it in another program
called "Acustica" which I totally love! Everything is large, the
editing is beyond simple, You can record unlimited tracks, and I just love
Acustica to death! BUT, the stupid program puts my vocals in the left
speaker and the music in the right. I have tried everything to get both
vocals and music coming out of both speakers but I flat out can't. I've
tried "Magic cleaner", I've tried every program I have and I can't mix the
vocals and the music. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>So I do the best I can. I think I do a dam good
job! It's shocking because Dectalk sounds so human when mixed in with
original music. I like sharing them on bluegrasspals because you all know
how much work goes in these. I'm also getting better at it. It's so
much fun to do.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I want better editing software that will mix. I
probably can mix with what I have but I can't figure it out. My stereo
won't play a CD-RW, so I have to waste a CD to do a test, and they all
fail. I have 40 blank CD's to waste but I hate doing that. So until
I figure it out I give up. Everything is split and I have no idea
why. Of course if I wanted everything split you know it wouldn't be.
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>And yes, it sounds fine on the computer as long as you
don't you Quick Time Player. But if you burn my files to a CD and play it
in a DVD or on a stereo, you will see what I mean. And if it doesn't
split, please tell me what the heck you did. I can't figure it out at
all.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Well, I got home this past Sunday Night and
started the long task of uploading my files again since my last upload
didn't work. I uploaded a little each night. This morning after
the 3:00 half hour break for the system updates, I finished the last of my
uploads at around 5:00 this morning. Needless to say I went to bed
after that. So, you can all now enjoy my fixed songs, as well as a ton
of new ones. I might do a few more before I quit for a while.
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I figured out two months ago how to remive vocals
from any song and add in Dectalk. It was fun, I had a blast, but now
it's getting old just because I now know I can do it. It's cool as
hell, but I'm running out of disk space, plus it's just getting old.
But I hope you guys enjoy what I did. There will be more, I just need
a break.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>QUESTION; I sent someone to <A
title=http://www.bluegrasspals.com/
href="http://www.bluegrasspals.com/">www.bluegrasspals.com</A> to hear my
stuff plus everyone elses, and after she wrote back and said she was lost I
went there myself. I forgot how to get to the archives where it has a
list of everyone that has Dectalk files. How do I get to those
archives?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
