Analogue to digital CD burners

To get a vinyl record to cd, this is what I do. 1. Vinyl input (via mixer) to soundcard 2. record as wav file using Creative Labs Wave Recorder 3. edit wav file (remove pops, initial silence, final silence, divide a side of vinyl into individual tracks, etc) using Creative Labs Wave Studio 4. (This step is optional) Convert to mp3 using freeware wav --> mp3 converter 5. burn to cd using Easy CD creator from either wav or mp3 source. The Creative Labs Wave Recorder and Wave Studio came free with my sound card. Or, you use to be able to buy it from the site for $14.99. You can spend a couple hundred dollars on fancy wav editing software to automatically remove pops from vinyl, but I don't think any general algorithm beats visually examining the wav file in Wave Studio and fixing the glitches by hand. For this purpose, any freeware wave editor will suffice. You need lots of RAM though. If you have a 90 minute cassette and you record one side as a wav file, that about 500 MB. You want your editor to manipulate the file exclusively in RAM. If you use virtual RAM (hard-drive space), it is dog slow. So, lots of RAM makes editing large wav files a much more pleasant experience. David K.

I am looking for Masaru Sato's soundtrack music from Akira Kurosawa films 'Yojimbo' and 'Sanjuro'. Does anybody have recordings of this music? I would love to trade some material, or buy a copy of this music. Thanks. Eric NP- Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club

> Mole Jazz - Gray's Inn Rd. near Kings Cross Station - is definitely worth >a look. Definitely - it has a very good second hand section. The following are all very central and could be done in a couple of hours, depending how long you like to browse: Ray's Jazz, now part of Foyles Bookshop on Charing Cross Road (nearest tube Tottenham Court Road) has a reasonable second hand selection. Selectadisc and Sister Ray on Berwick Street in Soho don't do second hand but have a good indie/alternative selection at reasonable prices. Reckless Records, also on Berwick Street, is solely second hand and has a large experimental section, plus all the stuff you'd expect. It's not particularly cheap though. Rough Trade is in Neals' Yard in Covent Garden. No second hand, but an excellent selection of indie/experimental music. It's in the basement of Slam City Skates. Worth a trip slightly further afield is Sound 323, at 323 Archway Road, Highgate (it's just outside the entrance to Highgate tube station, which you can get to via the Northern line from Kings Cross). This is my favourite record shop in London. A full selection of experimental musics and jazz, a very reasonable second hand section, and lots of Zorn. Good prices too. Best of luck, Alastair If you fancy -- Personalised email by http://another.com

If this is the instructional video, its not that new, I bought it a couple of years a go. I think it is best said that Bill is a wonderful guitar player but not a natural communicator. Unfortunately, there is no interviewer to help smooth things a long. You get Bill with a band playing a few numbers and intercut with Bill alone in front of the camera looking for all the world like a rabbit trapped in the headlights. He stumbles through a little information about himself and then tries to explain his basic techniques but he is halting and unsure. At one point he goes to demonstrate something, there is a long pause and he says "I've just thought of another way of doing it." To be brutally honest its quite fun, although heavy going, to watch once but I would never watch it all again. Richard gardner
