Re: Another Audacity question

StewGold
 

I'm a Soundforge user, I use normalize which sets the loudest moment of the recording to the highest possible volume without distortion and then brings everything else up proportional to that. Unfortunately the only version with a batch converter so you can run a whole folder is version 9. At least I've never found it in the later version, but I may just be missing it. all the best, Leslie

Joe mentioned the other day MP3Gain. I have used it  for years. Works great and you can apply it to an entire folder at once, which is easier than Audacity.

Can the volume of a file be increased in Audacity without throwing off other audio qualities?

Notes On An Episode of "The Breakfast Club"

Larry Maupin
 

This recording, entitled "Scottish Number," was aired on station WLS-FM Chicago on September 17, 1968.    It is referred to in the program itself only as "The Don McNeil Show, brought to you from the Clouds Room atop the Hotel Allerton on Chicago's Magnificent Mile."   Much of the old and much beloved format is gone by this time.  There is no "Good morning breakfast clubbers," no "It's the first call to breakfast for all of you out there, America awake The Breakfast Club is on the air!"  No "Fourth call to breakfast, last call to breakfast!"  In fact we learn that Don will be retiring and the show will end on January 1, 1969.

What remains is some lively conversation, several good musical numbers and several commercials.  Songs and instrumentals include the "Girl Watchers" theme,  "Everyday Housewife," "High Hopes" and "Summer Samba."  There are commercials for Pream, "the non-dairy creamer, Delta Air Lines, Bayer Aspirin, Regal Wall Satin by Benjamin Moore, and Sanka from General Foods.

Five minutes of "Paul Harvey News and Comment" is aired during the program.

This is the last summary I will be posting on this set of episodes which are now proudly residing on the Internet Archive for everyone to hear who wishes to.

I will conclude with a story from one of the shows that did not make it because it was from a Vaughn Meader recording entitled "Second Coming" which was not an OTR series, but I had it digitized anyway because it is so funny and, along with a record entitled "From Our Point of View," was on a cassette I received labeled "Miscellaneous OTR."

Here is the joke: God and Jesus are having a conversation in Heaven.  God tells Jesus that prayers have fallen off from people on earth and that they seem to be mad at him.  Jesus replies that perhaps people are upset because of all the natural disasters that have been occurring and they blame God for them.  God asks, "Like what?"  Jesus replies, "A good example is that terrible earthquake in California last year."  God says, "Hey, I had absolutely nothing to do with that!  That was all San Andreas fault!"

Re: OTRR YouTube Channel Reminder

If Paul Kornman has Google Analytics set up on our various sites (or is tracking listening information on HOTROD, for example), he can probably get similar information to this - at least, from whatever point it was set up. HOTROD has a registration function, so the number of people who have done that should be available. For archive.org, though, I don't think we'd be able to get much in the way of meaningful statistics.


Re: OTRR YouTube Channel Reminder

Ryan Ellett
 

I wonder if there's any way to compare these numbers to those of our OTRR library or series that are up on Archive? That's a lot of subscribers considering longer-time OTRR members may not even know our stuff is on YouTube!
