[DECtalk] (DECTALK) UPDATED FILES

Fri Mar 31 15:09:57 EST 2006

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. 

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.

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.   

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.

QUESTION; I sent someone to _www.bluegrasspals.com_ 
(http://www.bluegrasspals.com/)  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?
