Hey Hansy I see you got my point...LOL

Virtual Audio Cable is fine but I doubt it will reproduce anything better. I might put a call in to my old buddies at the old company and see if they can setup a test for me.

FWIW: Motherboards that have a codec onboard will fair better than most soundcards because the the music doesn't have travel across the card slot, to the Southbridge and then back again. Yes this even includes high end soundcards. But basically anything newer than 3 years old will produce great sound no matter what you use.

The circuits on the codec that we are talking about can only be seen with a microscope. I don't see a lot of oppurtunity for noise especially with the new AD converters that are used today.

You guys that say your recordings are snowy..what is your setup??

One thing you might try is to make sure that your main volume in the mixer is not all the way up. Some codecs go above their rated dB range( it is called top-hatting ) and the conversion will distort. Put the volume at or around 80% in most cases and make sure you WMP volume is on max.
Also do not use the Lineout to Linein using cables, etc.. you'll have some sort of noise for sure. You probably couldn't hear on a good soundcard but just in case you are anal.


I haven't yet tried MuvAudio to see the difference between Tunebite.

I believe the only part that will be shareware is if you chose to use Virtual Audio Cable with it since that program is shareware.

Then there will result a software that is free, but has no VAC capabilities, and therefore won't be able to be convert fully digital the tracks, and no losing the DRM...
Or there will be a software, with shareware license like Tunebite, but with higher license costs, cause the VAC shareware license costs around 30$ as far as I saw by surfing the net...
But these are just speculations...

if you don't live in the u.s.a.
don't read

what the fuck
people need to learn to write

hansy if you live in the states and are over 6
you're stupid

if english is your second language
i'm sorry
you're doing a good job

it's just that i want to read what you wrote
but it fuckin hurts to read that shit

i mean....
fuck
at least read your post once

i'm just pissed
i see shit like this everywhere

sorry
had to vent

It's kinda pathetic that you had to post that on the forum instead of PMing him

You can read his posts and they are understandable. I didn't see you use all the punctuation you needed to use... so don't complain.

I agree..WTF??

BTW: I saw that you posted on the Muvaudio site. Did you find out anything about beta testing??

Also I have been playing with Muvaudio after using Tunebite for a while. All I can say is the automatic folder/file naming is awesome. That alone in my book makes Muvaudio the winner. Tunebite doesn't have it and they need to get busy to catch up.

Keep the volume in Muvadio somewhere between the green and orange and the sound is great. I couldn't fiind any noise differences between the Muvaudio MP3 file and the original WMA doing it this way. No noise means the copy is as good as it gets with the AD converter.

I wish I could have had the chance to beta test, we could have done some real tests with the Audio precision to really nail down noise. The deveoper has done a wonderful job so far.

More later

Well, English is my second language, cause I'm from Germany, but thanks for the academic corections that you've made to my post. Now it is very clear to me what mistakes I have made, and I will corect them in order to keep you happy
Btw. if you are interested in gramatical and lexical debates go to a specific forum ...

So it seems that MuvAudio will be the great winner of this competition if the guys from Tunebite don't come up with a new version...but for the moment I stay with Tunebite.

whating is the guy syaing about wrong why?

I come china am from, not allowed me reading thread this? coem how?

When expecting muvuvu porgram coming out to use?

Are you guys going to re-record all your music AGAIN with this new release of Tunebite and the anticipated release of Muvaudio so your music doesn't have a 1-2 second cut off at the beginning of the re-recorded song?

yes... although most of my wma were converted with the then-working conversion tools... only got about 20 to reconvert...

Ahhmm..why should we reconvert the music files? just because of the 1-2 second cut in the beginning of the song ? cause I didn't have that problem with the previous version ?

You're lucky. I only have about 420 to reconvert. I'm currently reconverting and I can't use my own computer for about 25 hours. Thank God for television to cure my boredom.

i want to APOLOGIZE to Hansy

i read my post

i'm an ASSHOLE

it's no excuse, but it was a bad day

Hansy

oh
by the way
i need to learn
to be clear

i didn't mean
everyone can't read this thread

i meant
if you don't live in the U.S.A
don't read this post

i'm angry with people who grew up in the states
and don't know
or take the time to form complete thoughts
and reread before we (including myself) post

sorry

i'm just another
american errorist

I'll give you a B for effort but I think the apology would've been more sincere if you actually stopped mocking him and how he

types like
this

hahahaha yes seriously... i can't live w/o my puter for longer than a day... thats thats even a lot!!

smksignals, stfu

We all know he's an asshole but why don't you take this into a PM?

... now back on topic.

Toast,

Are you using Tunebite or MuvAudio? I like the naming conventions in MuvAudio but at the moment I am getting better quality recordings from Tunebite. My computer has an issue apparently with the auto sound level feature of MuvAudio.

I'm using Tunebite. I used to use Muvaudio until I had it making noise at the end of the songs so I switched back to Tunebite because I didn't have that problem with it and it doesn't cut off the first couple seconds of your songs anymore.

ATTENTION ALL RHAPSODY MEMBERS WHO WANT THEIR NEXT MONTH FREE
I've just canceled my Rhapsody account because I told them I liked Napster better and they said they'll give me a free month JUST because I like Napster. I dunno if this will work every time but it's worth a try!

Aaah, sorry for this triple post in a row... too bad the edit button expires.

Anyway, I've just finished re-recording hundreds of songs with the NEW version of Tunebite and I still have a 1 second cut off on SOME of the songs. Most of the songs are fine... anybody know why this is happening?

I am also going back to Tunebite for the time being. I am sure the new version of MuvAudio will cure what ails it now.

I know you said you didn;t mess with your computer while it was recording. Did you disable the internet connection and anything else that takes up CPU time??
Don't use a screen saver; if so use the blank screen saver.
Don't use any background pictures on your desktop, etc. Anything that takes up memory could be causing it.
Disable you power management in both the BIOS and Windows.
Something is running in the backgorund possibly.

What OS are you using??

BTW: I am setting up a machine just for the recording with a clean install of Windows 2000, nothing else. I don't like the overhead that comes with XP.

HTH

smksignals no problem...everyone has his' good days

back on topic...
toasters if most of the songs are ok, then it's clearly not a software problem...I had this problem when my computer entered the stand-by status, so try not to let the computer relax

That makes sense because I downloaded the same songs with Rhapsody and they recorded fine.

I haven't converted files in a few weeks . . . an big changes in the process?

I plan to fire up Tunebite later tonight and see how it goes.
