laramus Location: USA Posts: 2	Posted - Sun Jul 20, 2003 5:25 pm  okay, i am a beginner, so please have mercy if i sound too ignorant. I have been using CEP version 1.2 for about 2 yrs now, mostly to make mixed cds for myself. it's been great. Recently, i bought an mp3 player for the gym. I like it but find that it doesn't play songs very lous. Full volume is still not loiud enough for me. I thought one solution might be to raise the volume level af all tracks in CEP and then it would sound louder in mp3 player. Apparently I can't do this in CEP? When I download mp3 tracks into the multitrack, it ends up sounding like white noise. Am I going to be able to do what I want to, or am I destined to have to fork over the 99.00 to upgrade to version 2?.....Confused.....Thanks in advance to any patient soul that can help.....Larry _________________ Lawrence D Keane

Other than that... no, you won't be able to work in an MP3 format with ver1.2a (or earlier). _________________ I said Good Day! Voodoo

Cool Edit 2000 has (had?) the ablility to render .mp3 files built in. Best... -Jon _________________

MP3 is a lossy type of file compression. The quality losses due to the bit rates are exponential and not cummulative. _________________ Craig Jackman Production Supervisor CHEZ/CKBY/CIOX/CJET/CIWW Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Having 1.0,1.2 (and the update 1.2a), I never had the need for the plug-in, (not to mention I despise lossy compression) but I remembered mention of it. Funnily, I thought it was a "free" download. _________________ I said Good Day! Voodoo
jonrose Location: USA Posts: 2901	Posted - Mon Jul 21, 2003 7:07 pm  I really only bought the plugin because I was building websites at the time, and they required audio clips, like it or not... 8) Best.... -Jon _________________

Divide your players memory by 10, and that's how many track minutes you have. a 60Mb player would give you 6 tack minutes, or 1.5 songs. _________________ Craig Jackman Production Supervisor CHEZ/CKBY/CIOX/CJET/CIWW Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
