Soundforge 6.0 has a lot of improvments from the previous versions. They basically re-wrote the backend as well as most of the functions so opening an mp3 file doesn't take any longer than a .wav file anymore. I opened a 5MB mp3 in around 10 seconds. And this is on a P3/500Mhz. Do yourself a favor and definately upgrade. Hell, as I said before, there are plenty of places to download a crack for the demo version of Soundforge 6.0. But you didnt hear it from me. g -----Original Message----- From: orb-admin@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:orb-admin@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Chris Dawson Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 3:15 PM To: 'orb@mailman.xmission.com' Subject: RE: [Orb] mp3 manipulation I use soundforge 5.0 Slow but effective. For example, on my 1.4 GHz p3 dell, it takes about 9 minutes to open a 9Mb mp3 (by comparison a 9 Mb .wav file will open in about 10 seconds-ish). I am assuming that the time involved includes the decompression to be able to edit. I could be on crack, though. I am by far no where near an expert, just a hack. I have sf5 if you want it. dawson -----Original Message----- From: sunny bather [mailto:leftfieldsunbather@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 6:03 PM To: orb@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] mp3 manipulation does anyone ot there know of any way to edit mp3's? i have a 6 hour mp3 (so many roads box set), and I want to cut it into 5 parts thanx, shawn ps: anyone know where to download the dhs video for hous of god? _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
