Dusty Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 A show I created before the days of AVI conversion capability I would now like to put on to DVD. The problem is, I don't have the MP3 of the music I did for it anymore (accidently deleted it!) and it wasn't that easy to put together in the first place (a lot of mixing was involved). I don't think I can duplicate it without a lot of time involved which I will do as a last resort. Is there a way to get the music off my exe file? The rest of the pte file is in tact, just missing the music file. Thank you,~Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Subject: Sending large files From time to time, you may need to send a large file to a friend. Large files don't do well in emails and not everyone has a website from which files can be downloaded. Dropload http://www.dropload.com/ is a place where you can upload a file up to 50MB in size and then send an email to your friend. They have 48 hours to download it before it will be deleted. Thought our members might want to take advantage of this at some point! It's FREE! < what was the tune Cindywe may be able to use that drop.com site )ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 If you have a programme such as Cool Edit or Audition would it not be possible to set the record going then the *.exe file and catch it that way. I have just stopped and tried what I am suggesting and it does work.Ronwil [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Ron,Sorry, I didn't see yours and Ken's postings on this thread before I posted a reply on the other one. I thought it should work, but I tried it and it wouldn't work for me. Sometimes to get this to work, though, I have to play around with the Audio settings in the Control Panel. I have never been able to figure out the logic behind the various settings necessary for MS Messenger audio, Audition, Cubase, PTE, Windows Media Player, etc., etc. Some are different for different uses. And, even when I get it right, my MS Messenger audio only works sometime (mostly not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I didn't expand on the settings as I am using Adobe Audition and possibly Cindy is using something different. For Audition it is Options>Windows Recording Mixer then in the Recording Control Window tick the Select box under "What U Hear".Ron [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLS48 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Cindy,Total Recorder will record whatever it hears and cost $12.00. There are several other programs out there that will do the same and are freeware or shareware.http://www.highcriteria.com/George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Cindy, you obviously already have some form of recording software because you say "it wasn't that easy to put together in the first place (a lot of mixing was involved)". I hope you will be able to pick something from the various bits of advice which you have been given. Good luck.Ron [uK} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Thank you for your replies! I used Audacity to mix the tracks and then dBpowerAMP to convert to MP3. I don't have the other programs mentioned but will look into them. I hopefully won't have this problem again so don't know if I want to purchase a program. Ken, the song is the one on my show "Dancing Dreams". It's on my website and also on Beechbrook a few pages back. I'm trying to put all of my shows onto DVD and this one is giving me grief because of the lost music track.~Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WA5IJA Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 this is a program that will allow you to copy any music playing on your desktop and save it as a wav file. You can then convert it to MP3.http://www.silent-bob.de/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 CindyI have just checked the forum before going to bed but tarried a bit longer to download your show "Dancing Dreams". From it I have copied the the first minute or so of your soundtrack using the method I have described earlier. If you fail to make your own copy from all the advice you have received I could make a full copy and mail it to you.GoodnightRon [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Thank you Ron, but Quietstorm just did it for me. Thanks, Bart! I'll be looking into that program that WA5IJA mentioned, sounds interesting. And Ken, that site wasn't mine, mine is in my signature. I'm about to re-do the whole site just as soon as I find the time. Tired of the look.Thanks for all the help everyone!~Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Cindy i went to your site looking for "dancing Dreams" -- did not find the musici did a google search and came up with the site i mentionedhttp://www.oceaneyes.net/dancingdreams.htmli was unable to find the music Dancing dreams so i played your show - -at the end you put the music on the screen -- it was not dancing dreams -- some other guy -- unable to do a screen capture or pause show to write down the name of the music author/songnot a very successful challenge other than the name "Dancing Dream's" is from the "Nutcracker Suite" ballet by Tchaikovsky so much for trying to helpKen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContaxMan Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I too searched for this - found the show but the music was Pachebel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I agree, the music is Pachelbel but the sequence and soundtrack is Cindy's "Dancing Dreams".Ron [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I'm sorrry for the confusion. The music is Pachelbel and I have that, but what I needed was the mixed version on my show Dancing Dreams. I had added about 3 separate tracks of nature sounds to the beginning and end, fading them independently in and out of the Canon in D part. Thunder, running water with crickets, and elk. Thanks for trying and it is solved now.~Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
