[Dixielandjazz] NERO 6 PLUG-INS

[Stan Brager]

Arnie;

I beg to disagree with you. While one is limited by the musical information stored in the file, it is possible to "enhance" a recording by several techniques. For instance, in the case of a recording who's speed is either too fast or too slow, with the tools available for computers, the music can be sped up or slowed down. Balance can be also enhanced although within the limits of the recorded signal - one can tone down or accentuate the highs, the mid-tones, and/or the bass tones.

There are many other effects available to anyone who wants to use them. Dick Broadie, if he's lurking, can cover this topic more thoroughly. Dick has taken mono recordings and converted them to quite convincing stereo renditions.

I feel that one should begin with a set of ethics about being true to the music. I won't delve into that issue right now.

  Bob,
  Just to add to Stan's explanation, there is no way one can really "enhance" an audio file (except by removing clicks and hiss, for example) once you have downloaded and saved it to your hard drive. You can burn only what musical content is in the file.

    You've got Nero 6, I assume and you've downloaded the plug-ins which you
    want. Next, double-click on the plug-in to install it in Nero. That's all
    there is to that part.

    Now, let's use the plug-in to create a file using that plug-in.
    Open Nero.

    Go to the "Extras Menu" and select the "Encode Files..." submenu.

    Using the "Add" button, select a file which you want to encode with your new
    plug-in.

    Then, go to the Output File Format and select your new plug-in.

    Note the "Target File" location - this is where the newly encoded file will
    be stored. If you want, click on "Browse" and select another location for
    Nero to store your file.

    When that's done, click the "Go" button and you file will be encoded with
    your new plug-in and stored where you want to place it on your harddrive.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
