Re: Need Some Very Patient Assistance

I still occasionally buy an old LP to get some obscure music that can't be found anywhere else (shoutout to Discogs!). That's about the only analog I do any more, but I'm really old (older, even, than Bill), and started as an electronics technician in the vacuum tube days, progressing through everyt...

Re: Including additional metadata in File Information

@Doug: I'm a huge fan of MP3Tag. Sent more than a few bucks Florian's way. The original problem isn't solved by MP3Tag though, and that's trying for some form of automation for assigning the track titles. Typing in a Goldwave cue file or in MP3Tag, it's still one-by-one title typing (or cut and past...

Re: Including additional metadata in File Information

I'm interested in answers to this question too, for vinyl LP to digital track conversion. Same as you, I'll have about a 30-minute file with up to 12 tracks, separated by short silences. AutoCue gives me the 12 cues for each track's start, but I then need to name those cues with the song titles befo...

Well, now that you mention it ...

Sounds like good advice, so I'll take it.

Re: Save and Close in Batch

I've communicated very badly, so let me try again. What I'm doing is editing the track WAV files for currently existing server-located albums. No new audio processing is happening: just editing existing files. The purpose is to normalize each track's amplitude and limit run-in/run-out times to 0.5se...

Save and Close in Batch

I'm editing many hundreds of albums on my media server to normalize levels and lead-in/lead-out times, and making great use of Batch to do it. First, I open and Select the pertinent album tracks manually, then run my batch process, which is: 1. MaxMatch 2. Trim Silence (0.5 sec, both ends) This zips...

Re: how to find the high volume level in the graph ?

All true, Doug, but looking at the waveform it's quite possible that there's a single spike or two around 3 mins that, if reduced, could allow MaxMatch to boost the rest by 2 or 3 db. I do this quite often (not so much on commercial tracks, but on some of the stuff I recorded off-air some years ago)...

Re: how to find the high volume level in the graph ?

You were almost there. When you use MaxMatch, the dialog box contains the track times for both L and R at which the max value is reported.

I don't remember how to post the image, but just do that: bring up the track and use MaxMatch. You'll see the times of both channels' max values.

Batch Processing Dilemma

I'm cleaning and polishing WAV tracks ripped from old homemade CDs I recorded some years ago. The goal is to process the individual tracks then merge them to an mp3 file. There's an issue with the cleanup. I have some batch processes defined for cleaning the original tracks. In preparation for step ...

Re: id3 track field is erased for WAV format

The new GoldWave update ignore the case of chunk ids entirely. The Wave standard is practically defunct now, so no point in trying to enforce it anymore. Let's see how that works out. Hey Chris, could we have some more info, please? Wave standard defunct? I certainly wasn't aware and am now a bit c...

Re: Naming cue points

@DougA, No, you're not wrong, and I'm sure I was unclear with my explanation - although I think the latest one tells the right story. Yeah, I'm aware of the various ways that cue points can be named and was trying to get around the necessity of individually typing the song titles to the track names ...

Re: Naming cue points

@DougA, Useful info. In my case I was somehow hoping to find a repository of pre-made cuefiles for a given album - which shows how poorly I thought the thing through. There couldn't be any pre-made cue files for the particular file I'm working with because the timing couldn't possibly match my uniqu...
