Hello rezound list. I just tried it today... & I _LIKE_ it! I can't say I know much about rezound (or any other sound editor for that matter) I doubt I'll ever be a pro at it. But every now and then I want to do something to some sounds. This time My sister had a tape of a family gathering that some friend was able to put on a cd. And I got a copy. Trouble was it was all on one track. And that made it difficult to skip over certain parts. So I did a search on sound editors for linux and as it happens resound was the second one I tried... I doubt there will be a third. I didn't really have a clue how to use it. But it didn't take much to figure out how to get it to do what I needed. In fact it was so easy that It's giving me ideas. The only complaint I might have is that the how to documentation I've found so far doesn't tell me very much. Like for example I'm betting I can take two or more sound files, Like a recording of people talking at a family event, and add background music. then edit the volume so that when people are talking to softly I could either lower the volume of the background music Or increase the volume of the conversation so that the interesting parts don't get lost in the background music. Thing is that while I'm sure that kind of thing can be done, I don't have a clue how to do it, nor even what the correct terminology is so as to try to look it up... Is there a how-to someplace that tries to tell a very inexperienced user how to do that??? I told my sister I divided the long file from the cd she gave me into multiple tracks, and she wants a copy. But I know she'd like it better if I was able to insert the background music. But in any case All I can say so far about this sound editor is wow! -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jt...@tt...>> |

It would appear that on Sep 15, Davy Durham did say: > > Actually, the style editor you're looking for to do something like this > is called "non-destructive > editing" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-destructive_editing not a > terribly helpful link) or "non-linear > editing" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing). > > There is a fine piece of free software called Audacity > (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) which will do what you're looking for > much more easily than ReZound.

If my lady catches me trying to figure out yet another new piece of software this month I'll suddenly have more time to play on my pc... That is AFTER I wire the doghouse up with power & broadband... For now I think my sister will have to settle for what I already did with rezound. But I appreciate the tip on the terminology, the links, and the clue as to a good sound editor to try it with. <sigh> But I kinda LIKE rezound. So I think I'll still find a use for it every now and again. I'll try not to bug you with to many stupid questions, but don't be surprised If I do ask one every now and again...
