Ron,

You have left too many stones unturned for us. What are you recording to? what are you saving from? What software do you find the vocals are increasing in speed?

Changing the sample rate to whatever rate the other instruments are using will change the speed. Why are you having to change the sample rate?? if you are recording all the instruments with the same sample rate into some sort of multitrack then you shouldn't need to.

More information pulleessee..

Cassette frequency range is up to about 16kHz and yes, about 60dB dynamic range. Type IV (metal high bias) cassettes are about the upper limit on a demagnetized (degaussed) and contact-cleaned tape deck. There exists a book published by Yamaha which is a great technical guide. <A HREF="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/textbooks/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?userid=6V2CAF5Q67&isbn=0881889008">Here is the link</A>

There's also a book called Audio Measurement Techniques which is intended for technicians, but also contains significant details on analog and digital fidelity issues and stats.

Be aware that LP and cassettes will have similar stats and that their corresponding analog recievers influence their operation as will mastering techniques and tools of the 1970's and 1980's. Contemporary recievers aren't really designed to be compatible with cassettes and vinyl in terms of frequency content. A complete old system playing old music is often better at reproducing music than a complete new system playing old music. Speakers, recievers, mastering, cables, grounding techniques, power cords and equalization options have all changed in many deep ways over the decades.

You might also want to include issues such as crosstalk, phase distortion, harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion (big issue for speakers), and noise modulation (issue for digital systems). The second book i mentioned above, deals with all of these.

Another funny issue.... Redbook CD audio claims to be 16bit resolution, but if you study CD player design, plenty of CD players actually use less than 16 bits and use as few as 12. EFM should be looked up. (Eight to Fourteen modulation) EFM is not something I totally understand, but I know it's common in CD players and denotes that less than 16bits are sometimes used. It has a bit to do with dither, noise, and oversampling, etc. Another strike against digital.

Also, people can actually hear about 120 dB of changes, but most digital systems don't support that.

it's about 6 dB for every bit of resolution. Sampling rates are also still not good enough to distinguish between waveforms unless you get to about 10 times the highest audio frequency to be delt with. This is coincidentally the same factor at which analog bias is achieved (10 times). So 2.05 times (Nyquist frequency) is really inadequate despite what you may read in older things. Listen to 20kHz square wave and then a 20kHz sine wave, and you'll hear the difference. A sampling rate of 44.1 can only reproduce 20kHz squarewaves or at least triangular waves, not sine waves. Analog filtering is what makes audio sound less harsh and more natural.

having problems with video disks first one is ok then burns to quickly and only first 9 seconds comes out on disk can anyone help me

Just go to <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/sheetmusic/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/sheetmusic/</a> and do a search in the sheetmusicplus box on the right hand side of the page. There's stuff to check out.

: Challenge:Who can find the following needles in the haystack: I'm looking for the pianoscores of Marlene Dietrich songs: "Nimm dich in Acht vor blonden Frau'n" and "Meine beste Freundin". Please help!

I have no nero mpeg2 encoder. i need it. somebody want to borrow me.

Looks like someone made it for him. Sounds like a vocoder to me..

music centre has awesome midi editing potentials as does yamaha sequencer. you just need a sequencer with extensive midi tweaking/fx facilities.

such mal bei http://dancegalaxy.elite.to/ da wird du fündig viel spass damit
