I have a bunch of gigs recorded on an Zoom MRS-1608 recording desk. Until recently to capture/edit the recordings, I recorded the master-output via a Line-in connector on an iMac (into Soundtrack Pro). This worked fine, but all the levels were set on the desk, and mixed-down to a stereo output, which means to change the levels, you have to capture the song again. And there is no way of adding effects to specific channels and so on..
The solution should have been simple - Zoom have an application called "Audio File Manager", an extremely buggy and broken application that (should) take the recordings via USB, or a CD and convert each track to a .WAV or .AIFF file (which can then be edited in any audio application)
Big things are happening with Microsoft lately. As an Open Source developer by nature I can say that I was a little shocked when they first opened their Microsoft Office document format specifications (which I was sad enough to read!). There are various news stories where Microsoft is becoming more open. I like it. I like it a lot.
As to why they are doing it, the only reason I can see is that they are taking a beating in the the computer industry with competitors like Apple, IBM, Mozilla and Google all peaking at their profits. Not to mention the European computer laws on monopolistic behaviour. They need to form alliances and change market opinion about them if they want to remain unchallenged.
There are precompiled versions available for Windows, Linux (via apt-get/yum/etc) and OS X, but if you want the most recent version, or to install it in a non-standard location, compiling it form source is actually very easy (on OS X at least).
This guide was done on OS X Leopard (version 10.5.3), but the steps are basically the same on Linux (just skip the bit about fink and Xcode), and other versions of OS X.
It's my Birthday. All hail me!... as if you need an excuse.
I understand why the files are named along the lines of show.name.s01e02.dsr.xvid-grp.avi - it describes the showname, what episode, what source it came from, the format, and group that captured/released it... All very efficient, but they are hardly very nice to look at..

#Exporting MRS-1608 recordings to .WAV

#Microsofts open source push

Microsoft is now a major sponsor of the Apache Software Foundation and is putting its protocols and formats into a royalty-free license, all part of a larger open-source push.

#Compiling git on OS X Leopard
Git is a "distributed version control system" (DVCS). It's website is http://git.or.cz and you can read more about it on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29There are precompiled versions available for Windows, Linux (via apt-get/yum/etc) and OS X, but if you want the most recent version, or to install it in a non-standard location, compiling it form source is actually very easy (on OS X at least).

#Automatically rename your torrent'd TV episodes
Download!
http://github.com/dbr/tvdb_api/tarball/master - Always the latest version as .tar)So what is it?
I'm going to go out my way and assume you have downloaded a TV episode at some point. I'm sure you will have noticed the filenames are rather horrible.I understand why the files are named along the lines of show.name.s01e02.dsr.xvid-grp.avi - it describes the showname, what episode, what source it came from, the format, and group that captured/released it...
