Big Ass Files!

[Joseph V]

doesn anyone know of any progs that i can download or buy .. that can cut the size of live mixes in half.. i've been looking for something but havent really found anything.

i have this really bad ass stakka and skynet mix but its too long to burn on a cd ( its like 2 hours )

if you can help that would be really neato of you..
thanx yo

depends on the format of your mix. the only way to acutally change the size without changing format is to lower the bit rate.

I use Total Recorder to record files from live streams...the other nice thing about this is you can load files and chop them up...there ya go...www.totalrecorder.com

Its just a thought, I experience the same predicament, try downloading it again and somehow stop it from downloading where you feel comfortable, it should make it an incomplete file. I've noticed my incomplete's that are still pretty lengthy still play when I clear the file. I have a Tiesto live in L.A. that didn't fully download but its still like an hour long and I can still play it. Let me know what happens

[Joseph V]

yeah.. i download till a certain point.. and then just burned it.. but i have some mixes already downloaded.. that i wouldnt want to download it again..
thanx a lot for the help though..

too bad im missing ak1200 ..

but i can only go to one more show. and i would rather go to last covert op show .. (before they start their hiatus or whatever)

you can cut two hour mixes in half with sound forge and make 2 cds out of a long mix..hope that is what you are asking.

[Joseph V]

can you hook it up with some info??

lol.. im asking for a lot huh?

dnbhead

[Joseph V]

to record from a website it's very easy.

here's the way to do it
click on recording source/parameters
make sure to click on the sound board and use current mixer settings
i always set recording file (at the bottom as) MPEG -3

there ya go
anymore questions ask.

i have to buy the whole thing in order to record longer than 40 seconds huh??

well small price to pay i guess.

There is a small utility called Cool MP3 Splitter, and I happen to like it for splitting up small files. You can split at a certain section, or you can set markers, or what I usually do is split by time. Say something like 400 seconds will give you individual sections of 6 minutes something seconds. In my opinion, perfect for burning cd's with individual tracks for browsing.
