BakTrack Converts Audio Cassette to MP3 CD Without Any Software or Hardware

Astoria, NY (PRWEB) March 2, 2011

BakTrack, a division of Huemans Inc. launches an innovative technology solution for converting audio cassette tapes or vinyl records into digital mp3 CDs that does not require any hardware or software. BakTrack.com is a plug-n-play online utility that allows one to convert analog audio to mp3 CDs just by plugging a computer into a stereo system.

Announcing the launch of BakTrack.com, Mike Gallina, President of Huemans Inc. commented, ?BakTrack is the first of its kind, easy to use web app that allows you to convert your cassette tapes and your records to mp3 without having to do anything much more than plug your computer into your stereo and press play.?

All existing solutions in the market for converting analog audio to digital formats like mp3 require the usage of an additional hardware (popularly known as converter) or at least software for such conversion. BakTrack works on a completely new technology whose patent is pending, that allows a user to convert old audio tapes and records into digital CDs without the need of any hardware, not even software. Baktrack automatically separates the audio tracks after the digital conversion. There are very easy to use tools in BakTrack which allow one to cut and combine the mp3 tracks to prepare custom playlist.

?With BakTrack, you can convert your music without using any audio cables if your computer has a built in microphone but chances are you?re also going to end up recording background noise as well. We recommend using an audio cable so you can get a direct signal from your stereo or audio playing device,? Mike further explained.

The true plug-n-play features of BakTrack.com brings in the much awaited relief for the music lovers who have been challenged for the lack of an easy to use, quick solution for converting their old music treasures to mp3 CDs. BakTrack.com allows a user to start the tape or vinyl to CD conversion free of cost for the first five tracks. Once satisfied with its simplicity and quality, one can buy credits for very reasonable price to start his / her bulk conversions. BakTrack.com also sells an audio cable just for a dollar to ensure the quality of analog to digital audio conversion.

BakTrack is expecting huge response from the music professionals like DJs and artists and studios who are in the business of archiving old audio tapes and records, apart from the general music loving people.

MP3 Cutter Makes Audio Files Fun to Split and a Joy to Convert

(PRWEB) May 23, 2011

MP3Cutter.org today announces MP3 Cutter ver. 1.1, a new freeware utility for Windows that splits audio files into fragments. The new software has a task-oriented user interface and easy controls, supports more than 40 popular audio and video formats and saves the output to MP3, WMA, WAV and AMR. MP3 Cutter is instantly available as a free download from http://www.mp3cutter.org

MP3 Cutter can be used to do many different things. For example, it lets users open a music file and split the record into smaller fragments. This operation is helpful when users want to make a ringtone from a favorite song, want to split a long audio book into shorter chapters, or trim a podcast to remove portions of the record which are not interesting or necessary like silence pauses. Featuring support for more than 40 different file types, some of which are video formats such as AVI, MOV and MPEG, MP3 Cutter lets not only cut audio files, but also extract audio from music video and save to MP3 or other audio formats. Users have full control over the output settings and can select the required bitrate, channel (Mono/Stereo) and sound quality.

Other MP3 Cutter abilities include being able to do file conversions between formats. Users can, for example, save a WAV record as MP3 to upload to the mobile device like iPad and listen on the road, or export an AVI video of the favorite concert to MP3, cut this long record into songs and upload to an MP3 player. If users want to share the split record with friends, the program offers a special button, Send to Friends, that opens the default mail client and attaches the file to the message, so users only need to enter the email address and a few lines.

Splitting an audio file is fun to do. To begin, users need to open the audio file to split in MP3 Cutter. To cut out the required audio fragment from the record, it is necessary to play the song and set the start and the end time by clicking the corresponding control buttons, Start Position and End Position. To ensure the fragment is selected right, the user can play the selection, and then click the Save button to save a new audio file.

Fraunhofer IIS Expands ?AudioLabs? International Research Center for Audio & Multimedia Technologies

London/Erlangen (PRWEB) May 12, 2011

Fraunhofer IIS, the world?s renowned source of audio and multimedia technologies, today announced the expansion of the International Audio Laboratories Erlangen (AudioLabs), an international research center focusing on digital processing of audio and multimedia signals. To help drive the organization?s key initiatives for the next decade, three professors were newly appointed to the joint institution between Fraunhofer IIS and the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-N?rnberg. Fraunhofer is also seeking top scientists from around the world to further grow the organization.

The addition of Prof. Dr. J?rgen Herre, Prof. Dr. Bernd Edler and Prof. Dr. Emanu?l Habets to the organization?s team of more than 20 internationally renowned scientists, will further drive AudioLabs? cutting-edge research and lead the development of technologies in the fields of audio coding, audio signal analysis and perceptual spatial audio signal processing.

?Fraunhofer?s extensive history and expertise in the field of audio and multimedia technologies, coupled with the university?s highly-talented scientists from several disciplines, is the ideal combination for driving innovation and ground-breaking research in this space,? said Dr. Bernhard Grill, representative AudioLabs at Fraunhofer IIS. ?AudioLabs will continue to help leverage ongoing projects for Fraunhofer?s audio and multimedia division and benefit from Fraunhofer?s expanding capacities with the University of Erlangen-N?rnberg, a leader in research and teaching.?

The close cooperation between the university and the Fraunhofer IIS creates a unique organization with competencies ranging from basic research and teaching, to technology implementation in innovative multimedia systems. Fraunhofer IIS provided a budget to fund AudioLabs for an initial period of ten years.

?The international presence and outstanding atmosphere at AudioLabs attracts the best and brightest scientists from all over the world, as well as the top students from German universities,? said Prof. J?rgen Herre, University of Erlangen-N?rnberg. ?Working with Fraunhofer, we look forward to continuous innovation and adding further research topics.?

Fraunhofer will hold a reception and introduction of AudioLabs by Prof. J?rgen Herre at the AES Convention in London from 6:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on May 13 in Room 1.
