In other words, you're ripping what comes out of only one of the speakers. Try to see if there's an option to record in stereo.

RE: MP3 ripping This is peculiar. Do you have some sort of eq in use? There are certain programs that are designed to eliminate vocals from audio files. I believe they use some sort of eq cut to achieve this. Maybe you've got certain high-frequency bands turned down a lot. -Dan. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 15:25:08 -0400 (EDT) From: Andrew Coutermarsh To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: RE: Drum machines & ripping to mp3 Message-ID: On Mon, 29 Jul 2002, Costello, Daniel J wrote: > RE: MP3 ripping > > This is peculiar.

Maybe you've got > certain high-frequency bands turned down a lot. BZZT. Thank you for playing. ;) Actually, the way karaoke plugins work is to remove the center portion from the sound field. It does this by subtracting one channel from the other, which leaves only the material that isn't being played by both channels at the same time, or, in other words, the material that's on the edges of the sound field. By doing this, the vocals, which usually are centered, are removed. Actually, what it sounds like to me is that he may have a spatializer turned on in his sound setup. I could be wrong about that, but I suggest playing the MP3s in Windows Media Player and seeing whether they sound okay in that case, because if they do, it's because MusicMatch Jukebox has some kind of plugin installed that is affecting the playback. If not, I suggest opening your mixer program (the little yellow speaker in the taskbar, or the green icon if you have a Sound Blaster Live) and clicking "Advanced Properties". It might have something in there that is checked that shouldn't be. ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh - http://cout.dhs.org/ email_address_removed ------------------------------------------------- The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except maybe "Don't you think it's about time you audited my tax return?" or "But officer, isn't it morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was speeding?" ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 14:56:36 -0500 From: "Souter, Jan-Michael" To: "'ytsejam@torchsong.com'" Subject: RE: arabesque Message-ID: Those two I have not heard..

The sections you noted are on one side only. I personnally don't use "MusicMatch JukeBox" but check your settings... Try-out 44K/16bit/Stereo for the mp3 recording.
