Ride videos!!!!

[popkid]

well, i have my stereo hooked up to my PC thru the audio in jack on the sound card - and then i use a simple audio recording/editing program to record and then trim the tracks. i know theres better programs out there, like sound forge and such - but i think they turn out just fine this way. a few pops and clicks here and there, but not bad at all in my opinion.

 

[orlpassholder]

those pops and clicks are nice reminds me of the way it was growing up before these fancy CD's lol yes I have a few LP's and 45's of Disney hmmm I might have to look into this. But so far everything requires me to get new equipment:veryconfu

 

[popkid]

here are even MORE mp3's today, courtesy of orlpassholder once again:

<a href="ftp://wdwmagic:media@12.33.77.254/audio/aa_daysof76.mp3">america - days of 76</a>
<a href="ftp://wdwmagic:media@12.33.77.254/audio/aa_fullride.mp3">american adventure - full ride</a>
<a href="ftp://wdwmagic:media@12.33.77.254/audio/wom_master.mp3">world of motion - master</a>

for those of you with 56k connections, be warned - the american adventure - full ride mp3 clocks in at around 40MB and the world of motion master is a bit over 12.5MB

but they're definately worth it

(and now, off to lunch)

*steps in*

It is possible to remove the pops n stuff from the recordings..I'll test it to make sure its "easy"...but I am almost positive its a 2 step process... As soon as I get a chance to DL one of the tracks, I'll let you know if it works

Sonic Foundry Vegas Audio has a filter for removing Audio Pops, as does SoundForge. Its incredibly easy to use, and is pretty much auto-pilot.

Of course, while it reduces pops, it also seems to reduce the dynamic range of the recording, and hacks off a lot of the top end response.

I personally think its best to leave LP recordings as they are.

Well..LoL...Im anti sound forge (industry reasons)..I use Wavelab which is a bit less "automatic" but makes the quality of the recording thta much better...but I havnt done it in a long time so Id have to test it...

 

[wdwmagic]

Have you tried Sounic Foundry Vegas? I like their stuff. Vegas Video is pretty neat - and is a good Adobe Premiere alternative. Seems particularly good at handling WMV files.

Never touched it...I have heard good things about it tho..It is one of many program on my "to do" list....

Hey...I just thought of something (took me long enough)..

Popkid...how much space are you willing to "share" on your server...the reason I am asking is that I have over 6 gigs of Disney MP3s..and I have been trying to set up a "trading" post for over a year now....

Obviously Im not about to upload ALL 6 gigs of my stuff (56k) but perhaps if your space allows..I can upload maybe one or two a day and get a nice collection going

OOOOO I am anti that program...and Acid....sheese...its like anybody can be a hack audio engineer these days..No Creativity or brain needed...Too automated...and corrects the levels and blends....when it should not. I am a heavy user of SAW Plus.... and I like ProTools as well.

Well, I'm still having problems downloading. Both on my mac and windows computer, none of the files work for me. I can't see if I have a problem watching the files because they don't even start downloading. I've tried AOL, and when I use that, it asks me where I want to save the file, and I put in on my desktop. Then the file transfer window comes up for about 10 seconds, and then closes, leaving no trace of the file on my computer. When I try it with Internet explorer, it starts downloading, and then I get an error message. If I go to propertys, it tells me that I couldn't get acess to the FTP server. can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or does this thing just not like me?

 

[popkid]

woofboy111, have you tried right clicking on the links and then choosing 'save target as'? make sure to ONLY use the links from the post that lists all of the files, the old links are no longer good

or, try and download an ftp client such as wsftp pro, or cute ftp.

login using the following:

username: wdwmagic
password: media

IP: 12.33.77.254

hopefully that will help!

if not, let me know - maybe there's something else we can try

ps - what type of internet connection are you using? and what version and browser type?

 

[DisneyJedi]

As far as FTP'ing in.. could woofboy111 be accessing his connection through a proxy server? I work for a web hosting company. We have clients that are unable to get to things from time to time and more often that not they are using AOL to connect online. It seems AOL rotates IP addresses while you are connected to them. I had a problem with this and a client when he was trying to use our webmail. I discovered from the company's site for the mail server we use that AOL changes IP addresses in mid connection and the webmail is not setup to compensate for that. I don't know anything about the FTP server that Popkid is using, but I am sure it is using the standard port 21. Maybe AOL blocks port 21 on their firewall? That would stop woofboy111 from getting access.

I'd download and install CuteFTP and try the more direct connect method described.

Or woofboy111.. on your Windows machine, after you connect to your provider, open a DOS command prompt and type in at the prompt:

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

See if you get the same results.

*Drifts*

Well..everything that comes out of those programs sound exactly the same...so its not like its "original"

 

[woofboy111]

Well, finally, I got the files to download. It involved going over to a friends house, and downloading the files there (they have AOL too, don't know why this doesn't like me). Then, I have to email them to my email address, and it works!!!

Keep on posting...Thanks!!!!

 

[orlpassholder]

glad it worked

well, enjoy the mp3's

I hope I'm not being too much of a bother for you with this, but just letting you know, track 2 (DEAD MANS COVE) doesn't work. Now that I have a way to download, I hope I'm not bothering anybody by posting the links that don't work.

If it's not too much trouble for you, can you try reposting this link?

 

[popkid]

hey woofboy111,

glad you were finally able to download! thanks for letting me know about the busted link - it was another classic typo in the link, but all is fixed and you should be able to get that last track. let me know if you have any problems
