MP3 Trimmer

MP3 Trimmer

This program is a life saver! Can batch process a series of mp3 files and create short clips for you automatically. The length of the clips is adjustable and you can also set it to fade in and out. Whats better is that it doesn’t re-encode the mp3 for you so you’re not losing any quality either.

This guy will definately be getting my money, its a steal at only $10!

Found a load of archived tutorials over @ the Computer Arts website, so am working my way though them to try and block the holes in my Photoshop knowledge.

Here is the result of the tutorial ‘Another Dimension’

I think the background colouring is a little obvious, but I haven’t quite worked out how to do the technique to make it more subtle yet

Ordered some RAM for my sampler from Amazon… that is it on the bottom right of the image. On the left is the package they sent it in… can’t beleive nobody thought this was a little excessive?

Useful mac tip

This is mostly for my own benefit but found this useful tip today:

On a Mac you can make a non-linear selection in a body of text by holding the alt (option) button and drawing a rectangle around the text you want to highlight…. this is useful if you wanted to select a column from a text file

Most text editors seem to support this feature

Got my eye on these badbwoys!

These are the best sample CD’s i’ve heard in along time… most sample CD’s leave me feeling a bit disappointed but from the demo’s (which are lengthy) these sound awesome!

Bit pricey… but will be aiming to get these at some point.
