Well my laptop is my cd player. I can't afford a cd player right now, nor I want more equipment. I also use the pc for recording.
So, I want software to play the songs I've got from CDs and my own songs. I've also got 2 TTs.
I got demos(or similars :disbelief ) of tracktor, ableton and virtual dj.
virtual dj is too easy but not so good for blah blah reasons
tracktor is too good but has way more than I need
So I don't want mixing software. All I want is pitch manipulation and maaaaaybe cue points. Why pay for what I won't use? right?
So I try Ableton but its too complicated. I could learn and maybe do more than I could imagine, but :rolleyes:
So, any ideas?
Thanks |

| There used to be a pitch plugin for winamp. I dunno if that would work with cds or not. |

The plugin is Pitchfork:

I found this link via google, I didn't test out the exe link from there but it appears to be working. If this doesn't work, google some more I guess. |

| pitchfork doesn't work with audio CDs. could always rip them to wav (less quality\space) and use pitchfork. I'll hook you up if you can't find it online. |

A wav file is the same quality as the cd. A cd is basically 44/16/Stereo wav files. You loose quality when you compress them (ex: to mp3 format). |

Thanks for the pitchfork plugin. Definitely the cheapest way to go :tongue2
I'll see how it works tonite.
I'm not using CDs, I do rip them to wav. If I'm using a laptop why carry the CDs anyway.
Had never seen it before. Not a bad idea cos its free. But I hate adware.

Theoretically, almost. But it depends on the software you use to rip. Most not expensive software loose a bit or two in the process.
A cd is not basically a wav file. A wav file is basically the cd file, only a microsoft version. There are other lossless formats.
...Just a little extra info :happy2: |
