I just got a messge from him taking me to an adult porn site. Glad he has gone-

Yes Isabel, you can use the "Timeline". you will see it at the bottom of the main menu in PTE. When you click on it you then have the option to look at the sound track. (Cant remember off hand what they all that - its "show wavetrack or something like that". You see the sound waves below and above that you can drag and pull individual pictures - you can drag them to say how long you want them to show or how long you want the fades to be - you can co-ordinate with the music totally. I am absolutely new to this too - and as Neil said - someone will come who can put it more simply! Just letting you know that you can do what you want to do!! I used Audacity to make my last soundtrack and then used the timeline to match the pictures with the soundtrack. Kipper

Thank you all for your comments. THe matter is now resolved - quote: It seems that AVG antivirus developers forgot to add updated information about our program, because we released new version recently. We will contact AVG company and discuss this issue with them. Thank you to inform us. unquote Kipper

Thank you for the replies - helpful but im still not sure that I can download 5.1.? Colin I have read the posts re the trojans before I posted but this was picked up as a "Virus" and it was from apr.exe. i am using AVG which picked it up. Maybe we are not all so knowledgeable as you are when confronted with this kind of scare!!

I just got my new computer, up and running and all the software on it - I came to download PTE version 5.1. and found a virus on it. i am mad. I am also very upset that my new PC has succumbed to a virus after only one day of having it. If I cant trust this site where can I get the PTE software from that I badly need?

:) kelly that is just what I wanted to hear! The Roland Edirol being praised! I think im about to buy it!! The link you give for goldwave is also very interesting! Sadly it wont work on Mac but i might download it on my Mac/pc Laptop and try it. it looks better than Audacity but that I can use on a Mac! Many thanks for your comments! Kelly! Kipper

Nice! Why is it I am trying to spend money this week! Now you reminded me I'd love a Griffin for playing music in my car. Monday it was an iPhone - no hopes - and today a Voice recorder! Oh and a 10 -20 mm wide angle lens too - - - in my dreams - -best go to bed! Thanks Brian! kipper

THanks for great replies! all very useful and interesting! Den thats a great link for the H2 thanks! Its looking good. (The H4 Iim not considering because its more expensive and it has been superseded by the H2. also don't like the look of it!) My alternative was the Roland Edirol R 09. also looks very good. Cool. Peter - you ask why why hooking up to the computer after recording and then transfering the sound files off the SD card to the hard-drive is such a big issue. The reason is - when using Audacity or Audition software you can import a music track - and be playing it at the same time as you are recording voice in so they fit correctly. Just makes it faster than importing it as a file and then having to make that fit afterwards. The links that we now have on the post are excellent reading. Thanks for those. A Mac user friend of mine uses an iMic and a Headphone with a built in microphone. Its a good system and works well. but it cost quite a lot to set up - as much as the H2 and Roland Edirol recorders which both have the added advantage of portability. You know, the more I'm reading the more confused I am becoming - - -!

THanks Brian for a very interesting link! Yes! If only I didn't already have a 60G iPod Photo - which does not support these technologies! Having said that I love my iPod although its not the fastest photo storage in the world! You are right in saying that Mac users are now using PTE on their Mac's/Windows. (I found that I definitely prefer the Boot Camp partition Windows on my MacBook for using PTE rather than using Parallels.) on the Mac I use Audacity which is free software for Windows and Mac users. Its pretty good considering its free. My desktop Mac does not have duo core so no Windows partition - and although there is plenty of great Mac software to use - the main stream of AV people use PTE so at the AV groups it is the format which is acceptable. i'm not complaining because I like PTE. My main problem at the moment is time - I make my images for AV on Mac, Make soundtrack on Mac. Save files and copy to Mac laptop which runs Windows so can import in to PTE. Also working on a small 13" screen is not the easiest on the eyes! Your post has made me think again about Apple products. Thanks for that! Kipper

Does anyone have any preferences re the Roland Edirol R 09 or the Zoom H2? The most important thing for me is to be able to use it like a mic - in to my mac/Pc and be able to speak live in to it (rather than to save on SD card and import into computer as a file. ) I dont know the jargon when Im reading the descriptions so Id be really grateful for anyone to tell me if both recorders will let me use as a live mic. http://www.tech.co.uk/gadgets/portable-aud...llSpecification http://www.samsontech.com/products/product...cfm?prodID=1916 Thats it now - I will have to make a decision so wil be glad of anyone giving me the encouragement I need to go ahead!!!!! Thanks kipper

Thanks John - I will have a look at both the h@ and h4. also been recommended the Roland Edirol R-09. I am not going to rush in to this - I have to be sure im buying the right product! i spend enough on my mac, camera and lenses etc and read a lot of reviews first! I tried an interesting experiment last night and I used my camcorder to record voice using its external mic. It worked but the downside was that I had to import the whole lot in to iMovie and extract the sound files from the movie clips. Then convert them from iaff to mp3 in iTunes. It is a way I won't be going!! Thank you for all this help - - this forum is a good place to find out things ! There is a lot to learn re sound tracks but i will get there in the end. Peter I have been reading your profile page and find your comments interesting - thanks!

Hi Peter! That is so good of you - and wow that is a super recording! I can see that I am having to spend some money here - the other recorder I just found on the internet is Roland Edirol R-09 Digital Recorder which is also expensive but it is on eBay cheaper - £205. At least now i have a great recommendation from you and a sample of its quality! I will try and see how cheap I can find it - and check its Mac compatible. (Yes! Macs do have USB2! ) Thank you for your time and all your help Appreciated ! kind regards Kipper

Hi - i want to add Voiceovers with sound/music - using Audacity/Mac or Audition/PC to add to my AVs. I need a good recorder to record my voice and other external sounds and then I want to input the sound in to my computer to work on a soundtrack. I am complicated in that I use a Mac - I have to make my images and soundtracks on my mac and then can export them to my MacBook on which I an run windows XP. i cant do the whole thing on my laptop because the screen is small and it gives me eye strain. It is fine though for any finishing off and completing the presentation using Pictures to Exe. Using Mac makes it more difficult to get a recorder ie a mic. You cant plug in any old microphone it seems.They dont seem to work - - - - :ph34r: Does anyone know about recorders? There is one I can see called iMic and with a set of earphones it will cost quite a lot. Trouble with that is that you cant use it to record external sounds when you go out somewhere. The ideal would be to have a great recorder to carry around at all times and to be able to edit the sound. It is important though that the sound is clear and pure Thankyou in anticipation kipper

Hi Robert Like you I am after the very same information and finding it impossible to get ! The recorder you are mentioning dseems to be discontinued? http://www.speakit.info/modules/ecommerce/...mp;product=view Maybe we an find an alternative? I want it to record voiceovers for AV - also to record external sounds ie waterfall, trains in station, people chatting that sort of thing/ I have tried my built in Mic but the sound is not good enough. Kipper btw Robert your link is now dead!
