Guest BobNormal Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Okay, friends I am refering to an American Goa Trance Comp on a pretty cheesy label Moonshine (imho) called "trance psyberdelic". Actually quite a good comp with good tracks... Okay I've got a bit of a bummer here, I think there is something wrong with this comp. I listen to all my CDs and I hear them good, but every time I put this CD it's like a lot QUITER than other CD, hell then ALL CDs. I have to turn up the volume by at least a quater of what's it is already. And still it sounds so poor like an old tape or something, first I thought that it's just a style, kinda minimal and dark, but hell I doubt that the only way to make dark music is to lower the output volume. And I actually heard some 303s and stuff so it's not really dark or minimal,... I just couldn't hear all the 303s really good. So if anyone heard this comp and then heard these tracks somewhere else, is there really a problem eith this CD. Thanks kiddos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest basi Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 rip it to wav, alter in sound forge, and re-burn! i've got the vinyl and aside from some tracks that skip uncontrollably (thank you poor ebay packagers) its wonderful. but then again i'm used to volume differences.

Guest BobNormal Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Man, that's like complicated stuff. But I'll give it a try, some time, not now though. What's a sound forge ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest basi Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 sound forge is just the name for a common .wav editor. you can also try 'cool edit' maybe. and a program such as "EAC" (exact audio copy) to rip the cd to your hard drive. its not so tough to do though... 1) rip the cd to your hd using whatever you like (eac is what i recommend) 2) open a track in your .wav editor 3) find the function for 'normalize' and run it (usually on default) 4) save this .wav file 5) repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have modified all the tracks 6) burn this back to a new cd.. voila, no volume troubles its not TOO much work but will take a little time... its a nice compilation though, so it could be worth it some day to do... >peace< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BoBNormal Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Thanks a bunch. I am off to downloading this EAC program Hey, good job giving me this advice, you sound pretty good in that kinda stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobNormal Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Oh. I've got another problem. Sound Forge costs 349 dollars, Cool edit 249. And I went to EAC site and all they have is beta versions, I downloaded an older version and it doesn't evem open giving me some error, buttom line - it doesn't work. Any advices on something free on the web that might do the trick ? Is EAC free, how to download it or which file to download so it will work... sorry to bug you, friend.

Guest basi Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I can't even remember where I got all this stuff honestly, but I'm sure that cool edit has a 'trial version' that would let you use the normalize function (its very basic for a .wav editor)... you can always substitute for free software - just find a place that lets user review the downloads and avoid anything with low ratings... hope that helps!
