Gravatar Looking for a program to merge .SCR files to create a single screensaver containing all of the smaller ones.
Any thoughts?

Thanks


Gravatar Seeking a program that will easily re-code mp3 files to lower bit rates. My hearing is not good so I can't appreciate files encoded at anything above 160 KB. I would like to be able to reduce some of the 320s to 160 or 128 to get more on songs a portable player.


Gravatar I'm looking for audio recording software that will let me record sound from a mixing board that has several mic inputs as well as a keyboard and aux. I assume the mixer will connect to an aux input on my PC's soundcard.

Requirements:
-Preferably stand-alone requiring no installer
-Free
-Small Footprint
-Easy to use for novice
-Advanced functionality for experienced user
-Clean GUI (no command line apps)


Gravatar Hi Tom. I've got it fixed this time. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Bob. That is a unique idea. I'm not sure it's even possible without a well versed programmer at your disposal. You may want to ask this same question in the DonationCoder forum called "Coding Snacks". The programmers at DonationCoder like a good challenge.

Hi Cary. I have asked a musical friend of mine to answer this question. Hopefully he has the time to visit soon. Here is his website.

Gravatar Clif - You might want to adjust the comments section for the 'Switch Audio File Conversion' review....they do not appear to be relevant.

cheers....JIMBO


Gravatar Clif,Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already spent over an hour looking at the offerings on http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/freeware/ with no luck. It's a great site, and what I'm looking for may be there, but it's kinda like looking for the needle in the haystack. I was hoping that someone might personally know of such a program.


Gravatar Hi MacZad,

The first one on this page may work for you.

Happy hunting.

Gravatar Hi Clif,
I need a simple check printing software so that instead of writing checks, I just print & sign.


Gravatar I think that I now have a good chance of finding a program that will recode MP3s to lower bit rates. I had tried Google searches before, but I wasn't using the right search words. The key words are MP3 and downsample or resample. It appears that the Lame program will do the job.


Gravatar Hi Furqan,

Try two I found at Pricelessware.

I asked Jimi about this and he wrote me back with the text below. He says what you are asking for doesn't exist yet but some of the software he recommends comes close.

it is to be connected to the line in of the pc's soundcard....it goes like this...
line out of pc to record in on mixer...line out of mixer to pc line input.
control room outs to monitoring....but it depends on the mixer and soundcard.

Requirements:
-Preferably stand-alone requiring no installer
