Tools of the Trade

Post by ChzHeadParrothead »

Hey Guys, I thought this might be as interesting subject. What are some of the tools and programs you use to edit files, and record concerts? I have a few programs which I think are great, but I sure don't know everything that is out there. I thought we could share what we use and maybe give each other a better way. Here's some of the things I use.

Media Player--Media Monkey--I think the best music program available. Makes editing and converting large amounts of files very very simple.

sendspace.com--Free to join. Allows you to upload a concert after you put it into a zip file to allow you to email to friends.

EZ Soft Magic mp3 splitter and joiner--Very simple to use. Allows very simple splitting and joining of mp3 files.

Acoustica mp3 to Wave converter--Allows conversion with just a simple right click. Very easy to use.

Good thread topic, ChzHeadParrothead.


Still organizing with a mashup of iTunes, Windows Explorer, and Excel. :o

Replay AV and/or Replay Media Catcher - depending on what kind of audio/video is being captured

Replay Converter - for file format conversions

Free Audio Editor - haven't found a splitter/joiner good enough to commit $$$s to yet.

Thanks for starting this topic. I haven't recorded anything before and this is just the information that I was looking for. One question, do you prefer to record the Radio Margaritaville feed from the internet or connect to a satellite TV receiver for the feed? Does one give a better quality or reliability?
The next time you get mad, ask yourself the following question. Will it will matter a year from now?
If it won't, breathe in, breathe out and move on. Life is short, remember to have fun along the way.

OPH...Try the EZ Soft Magic splitter and joiner. I tried many ones until I found this one. Liked it so much I bought it. Only $20. I think it's the easiest to use.
