Audio Editing support for Dell 11 3147

Sir
I have the Dell 11 3147 Laptop running by Windows 8.1 and the system is well within warranty.
Now I urgently need to install the Driver & Software for editing the Audio Filed of my system which has been recorded by my Laptop itself. I failed to find ways for editing the audio files.
Matter is most urgent for me.

Please provide support.
Hello Damodar Chakrabarti.
Dell does not provide a program for editing audio files. It may necessary for you to acquire a third party graphical editing program.  [Graphical editing means audio editing is performed by making changes to a pictorial representation of the audio, usually as an amplitude waveform.]
The most popular free graphical editor is named Audacity. Link to the Wikipedia article on Audacity
.There are other free editors available too. Link to Wikipedia list of free audio editors
In addition to the free programs, there are editing programs that you can buy. I use one of those (Cakewalk Sonar) because I find its user interface to be a bit more sophisticated and easier to use than that of the free programs. Link to Wikipedia list of audio editors both free and proprietary

Damodar Chakrabarti., I hope this information is of use to you. If I can assist further please let know. Audio editing is a particular hobby of mine. However I must say that there can be a steep learning curve required for using an audio editor initially. If time is an urgent consideration you might need to find someone locally who is familiar with audio editing techniques.

  • Are in Adobe CS6 Student Teacher Edition support for Middle East Language? because i mostly used for

    i need help for this section before im buying Adobe CS6, iam indonesian, and thats on South East, but i need Middle East support languages.

    As of CS6, all programs have support for Asian and ME languages built-in. There are no specific ME versions. When installing using an ME language, the options should be enabled by default, otherwise the can be turned on e.g. in the preferences or the various text-cenrtric panels. You can simply check if the features you need work as expected by downloading the trial version.

  • Ridiculously simple audio editing question for Garage Band

    Ok, so this is really a fundamental
    question. It concerns editing technique.
    In analog mixing, the editor put
    the sounds to be saved in the right
    places on each of several tracks --
    narration, sound effects, lip sync,
    music, etc. The tracks were then
    all locked together and the mixer
    adjusted the volumes to either save
    or reject audio information.
    A blank master received the information
    and that was your final product,
    in sync, sprocket by sprocket, with
    the video.
    My question, then, is, how do you
    do it in digital multitrack such as
    Garage Band? Are you aiming to have
    4 or 5 tracks all level controlled
    or do you simple erase unwanted
    sound, or what exactly do you do,
    in post production? If you are going
    to do a voice over, then you have to
    do a mix at some point, not just a
    cut and paste. What's the philosophy,
    if you don't mind my asking?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Wow... you gave me flashbacks to a movie soundtrack I scored, with separate reels of tape all synced up and whirling away for final mixdown!
    To answer your question as best I can in a paragraph or two, digital mixing is unlimited compared to analog. Whereas tape has a physical limit, you can always add another digital track (there are limitations to digital, but they are becoming harder to reach as systems become increasingly powerful). So no need to erase. Editing is also a breeze. Digital tracks are endlessly malleable, with virtually every parameter available for automation.
    Sometimes you might mix down to stems or mix everything down to a stereo master (or alternative mixes) for post production. Similarly, in post, they can deal with huge numbers of digital tracks from different sources.
    In terms of a professional workflow, Logic is the more typical choice over Garageband, and includes a number of features designed for scoring to picture: variable sample rates, frame rates, etc.
    Gain staging in digital recording is different than in analog, and it requires a different approach to achieve excellent sounding results. But the digital workflow is so much more flexible, forgiving, and economical, that it has been the death-knell for the analog workflow. Infinite bussing, routing, mixing, comping, storing, stemming... infinite possibilities, really!

  • Audio editing software for a G4 PowerBook 1.5

    Hi I've been given a G4 PowerBook to see if I'm tempted to move away from windows PC's to apple.
    I'm looking for software that will work on the PowerBook that will let me edit all audio files and multitrack edit too, the current software I use on pc is adobe audition, any pointers?

    Deciding whether or not to switch to the Mac by test-driving a six-year-old Mac with a four-generation-old processor is like deciding whether to buy a new car based on test-driving a six-year-old model. You won't get any useful information that way except an absolute certainty that you don't want to buy a six-year-old Mac. But it's more likely that, knowing nothing of how different your experience would be with a current Mac, you'll simply jump to the unwarranted conclusion that Macs aren't for you, and that would be a real shame. If you're interested enough to consider a Mac, give it a fair shake: try one that will give you an accurate idea of what you can expect from today's models.

  • FCP as Audio Editing Tool for iTunes

    I've got a two hour concert as an MP3 I'd like to cut into individual songs and then load into my iTunes library. I realize FCP is not the most appropriate tool for this, but it may well be the most appropriate tool I've got. What I can't figure out is what's the best way to export the subclips so as to make them importable.
    Any ideas?
    Martin

    FCP doesn't work with MP3 well at all. You should use an audio editor that works with MP3 directly such as Amadeus: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31673

  • Audio editing across tracks after OMF/AAF import problems

    Hi there,
    I'm having difficulty getting my head around the way STP handles multiple-mono audio files.  I'm lucky enough in my job to have a choice of audio editing tools for what I'm working on.  For speech I use SADiE, for more complex projects involving automation I'll often use ProTools & for podcasting I find that STP is pretty good - especially for enhanced podcasts with pictures & web-links etc.
    So now to my problem.  I've brought an OMF project, from ProTools, home to work on in STP. The import went smoothly, every thing in the right place & sounds ok.  However, all the stereo audio files are now split across 2 tracks; 1 track for the left leg another track for the right leg.   I can't now edit the stereo content in any easy form.  I've tried using the 'blade all' tool to cut across the 2 tracks, but I can't then delete & ripple the audio.  This leaves me with a gap that I have to manually close.  Needless to say, I'm finding this frustrating as it's making what should be a simple process un-neccessarily long-winded.
    Both ProTools & SADiE allow me to group files like this so that they can be treated like a stereo file.  I've looked everywhere, but I can't see a function in STP that does the same.  Am I missing something obvious?  I can't be the only person who's had to deal with files like this can I?
    The only workaround I've found is to use the export command to bounce the 2 tracks to a stereo file, however, this loses any existing edits so I can't unpick them if there are problems.
    Any ideas anyone?  Can this be done or should I just stick to my other audio tools for this sort of thing?
    Thanks

    ProTools uses WAV, in fact it uses the Broadcast Wav standard. The problem is the way it handles files. It still splits stereo files into separate L & R files. It's just that it hides this from the user. When you drag a stereo file in from PT's region list (the equivalent of STP's bin) to the playlist, the two files appear as one as they should do. The downside is that OMF/AAF export still treats them as individual files.
    My problem is that I was halfway through an edit when I tried to move it from one system to another. If the edit was complete & just needed mixing, then it would have been less of an issue.
    But you're right, there's probably some tool on the net that will solve this issue
    Cheers

    These features are already available as extensions, I've seen
    trupal
    template editors and joomla ones too,
    the basic function used by most of these extensions is
    dreamweaver's
    "Translators", there re-write a document so that dreamweaver
    can recognize
    it, because dreamweaver MUST HAVE html, head, title and body
    tags in a
    document, these translators rewrite the document when it's
    opened and remove
    the added tags upon saving.
    If you're unable to find an extension for your template
    syntax, please post
    a sample of the syntax.

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

  • Dell Equallogic SAN HIT Kit support for SAP in Linux 11.2

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to use an Equallogic SAN as storage in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.2. Is the Equallogic SAN supported in Linux when using the HIT Kit to provide MPIO and snapshot support? The article from thorsten.staerk describes Equallogic SAN + Linux + native iSCSI (no mention of the HIT Kit). I understand that there are restrictions on using third party kernel modules.
    My understanding is that the Equallogic MPIO driver will provide a faster, more efficient, connection to the SAN along with additional features.

Running in the background, the ehcmd daemon uses the Open-iSCSI management tool (iscsiadm) to add, remove, or modify iSCSI sessions to maintain an optimal number of iSCSI sessions. It also gathers information on the volume layout from the PS Series group.
    2. A loadable kernel module, dm-switch, which implements a new Device Mapper target to the multipath devices. Based on the volume layout on the array members, the dm-switch module routes each I/O to the optimal path within the PS Series group.

    I'll take a moment to provide an update on the solution. There were some issues with the initial configuration of the in guest iSCSI volumes. If I had to start from scratch, I would run all the storage through VMware. The last round of software updates appears to have resolved a potentially serious issue with iSCSI disconnects. iSCSI has run perfectly for two months now. I'll consider the issue resolved once I have six months without any iSCSI issues.
    One remaining issue is that LVM won't initialize properly without implementing a custom init script. The init script work-around is simple and it works.

  • 5.1 Audio Support for Touchsmart Laptop

    Greetings! First post on this forum
    I have a Touchsmart TXN-1274NR laptop. It has RealTek audio drivers that support surround sound audio (5.1, etc.). However, the laptop's only audio jacks are three jacks in the front edge of the latop, two of which are labled with a headphone symbol, and the other with a microphone symbol. Is 5.1 audio or greater supported by my hardware? If so, where do I connect the output to?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Joe:
    Welcome to the HP Consumer Support Forum.
    I am not an audio expert but looking at the specs for your notebook at the link below and reading the users guide, it appears to have support for enhanced audio.
    The product specs state it has Altec Lansing speakers with SRS Premium Sound
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01801117&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
    I looked up what SRS Premium Sound is and it appears to describe 5.1 quality audio.
    http://hothardware.com/News/SRS-Introduces-Premium-Sound-Suite-for-PCs/
    Chapter 2, page 4 of the users guide indicates that the jack labeled 5 in the illustration is an S/PDIF jack and the description of the jack states:   Provides enhanced audio performance, including surround sound
    and other high-end audio output.

  • Premiere Pro Does Not Support Audio-Only Capture For Some Formats, Such As HDV?

    In the PPro CS 5.5 Help file  under, "Recording audio", it says:
    "Note: To capture an audio-only file from a digital video source, choose Audio from the Capture menu in the Logging pane of the Capture panel.
    "Premiere Pro does not support audio-only capture for some formats, such as HDV."
    I'm shooting in HDV and if I want to capture audio only, would I just need to switch my setting to DV?
    The only thing is my Canon HV20's HDV audio is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz.
    My DV setting is PCM audio, which I think is a better quality format, right?
    Would there be any noticeable difference?
    Thanks.

    Capture your HDV material in the normal way and just drag audio only from the source monitor to the timeline.

  • Feature request:  keymapping support for basic GVIM style editing

    Maybe this isn't the right forum, but it seems to be the only mechanism for providing
    feedback. I'm getting used to the workshop environment and like a lot of the
    features it provides. Tab completion of methods, parameter info, import automation
    are all very nice modern features. I come from a Unix background and cut my teeth
    coding on VI and GVIM off the command prompt. A feature that would really sell
    me on an IDE and many that I know, would be some support for VI keymappings.
    Once you are used to an editor that doesn't make you run to the mouse or the arrow
    keys every time you need to move the cursor, anything less feels slow and taxing.
    If basic support for "VI like" operation could be added, I think you'd find more
    people like myself willing to spend time in the IDE for its other features. GVIM
    offers a rich set of features, of which about 10 would suffice for most of what
    I do.
    1. insert/navigate modes so you can use ijkl instead of arrow keys.
    2. support for '/' as a search prompt as well as 'n' and 'N' to jump between
    findings.
    3. support for regular expressions on the search line
    4. support for regular expressions via a VI style substitute command {range}:s/search/replace/
    5. :w for write or "save"
    6. :e to open a file
    7. 'A' to jump to the end of a line and enter insert mode.
    8. 'D' to delete beyond the cursor to the end of the line.
    9. :line-number to jump to a line number.
    10. 'x' to delete a character and 2x for two etc...
    Okay, my list goes beyond ten if I continue, but if I could perform basic editing
    without having to go to the arrows or the mouse or a separate window of gvim,
    I'd be a happy customer.
    Thanks,
    Morgan

    Worth noting, I just found viPlugin for Eclipse on Sourceforge.net.
    From
    the looks
    of the documentation, it will act as a layer on top of any JDT editor oran editor
    that extends ITextEditor, which might be an Eclipse class. Hope thathelps your
    development team.

    Maybe this isn't the right forum, but it seems to be the only
    mechanism
    for providing
    feedback. I'm getting used to the workshop environment and like alot of
    the
    features it provides. Tab completion of methods, parameter info,
    import
    automation
    are all very nice modern features. I come from a Unix background andcut
    my teeth
    coding on VI and GVIM off the command prompt. A feature that wouldreally
    sell
    me on an IDE and many that I know, would be some support for VIkeymappings.
    Once you are used to an editor that doesn't make you run to the mouseor
    the arrow
    keys every time you need to move the cursor, anything less feels slowand
    taxing.
    If basic support for "VI like" operation could be added, I think
    you'd
    find more
    people like myself willing to spend time in the IDE for its otherfeatures. GVIM
    offers a rich set of features, of which about 10 would suffice formost of
    what
    I do.
    1. insert/navigate modes so you can use ijkl instead of arrow keys.
    2. support for '/' as a search prompt as well as 'n' and 'N' to jumpbetween
    findings.
    3. support for regular expressions on the search line
    4. support for regular expressions via a VI style substitute command{range}:s/search/replace/
    5. :w for write or "save"
    6. :e to open a file
    7. 'A' to jump to the end of a line and enter insert mode.
    8. 'D' to delete beyond the cursor to the end of the line.
    9. :line-number to jump to a line number.
    10. 'x' to delete a character and 2x for two etc...
    Okay, my list goes beyond ten if I continue, but if I could performbasic
    editing
    without having to go to the arrows or the mouse or a separate windowof
    gvim,
    I'd be a happy customer.
    Thanks,
    Morgan
