booba - I think I need to be in the dummies forum. I can very basically look at the spectrum in audacity - have no idea how to manipulate, splice, stack, etc.

I was trying to do quick online tutorials - but finally decided it was better (at least for me) to just ride on the coattails of the audio tech talents of others.

Thanks for uploading the files so I can hear the actual solutions instead of just looking at them in the other phonopath thread.

Yeah r.m, I've hung around here for years and just waited for someone else to do the sound files, it's time I learned. It's a great opertunity to try and duplicate the solves from the real Phonopath. Most of this is my first time, so join in.

Aplause Booba & much THX! As Level 2 became progressively very tough for me I ditched it to TGIF out with pals.....

Would help out but am playing phone stack with them and have to shout a round of drinks for posting just this but you're worth the expense. Cya. Laughing

Thankee amandel- Just got back from a football payoff/poker game and way too "tired" atm. If anyone can advance this short bus version, please carefully explain how.

This one, you're going to have to use Audacity (or a similar spectrogram-friendly program): I'm putting in step-by-step instructions on how to make it clear, since an audio file won't reveal it.

Having trouble with "cut and align beats" as posted by Mantic
My version of Audacity 1.3.14 beta doesn't seem to have an equivalent?

In Audacity, go to

Edit->Preferences
(or use Ctrl+P)

On the left hand side of the screen that pops up, choose 'Spectrograms'

Change the 'Window size' to a somewhat larger value(1024 or 2048 is alright, I think, 4096 is too big.).

This changes the frequency resolution with which it does the calculations. Bigger is also slower.
