    I might be wrong, but the problem you're having sounds like you're just ripping one channel of the songs. 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: Drum Machines

    Check the harmony-central.com forums in the Keys, Synth, & Sampler section
    for tips on drum machines.

    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.

    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.

    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?"

    Hey, JM...

    Yup, I have "Sanctus Ignis," and I like it a lot. But I like Hamadryad
    and Arabesque even better! :^)

    LaxBoy, put the keyboard down and step away from the computer.

    If you've got a fairly recent computer, I'd recommend going with a software
    drum machine. Better sound quality, easier programming, and best of all,
    cheeper :)

    Jon,

    To me it sounds as if your ripping to mono instead of stereo...
    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.

    Hello! I just wanted to say that there's a new song available for download on All That I Bleed's official site www.allthatibleed.com The song is off their debut album Dying to Remember and is called Gods. It's a kickass song, one of my favorites from the album. Please download it and post any comments or reactions you might have.
