*MURDOC* Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone know a decent free program with which I can f*ck with my vocals, like a vocoder. I'm trying to get mostly mechanical-type sounds from my voice. Any help= Appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You want to do this live or after the fact? You can use Audacity to change it after you've recorded it. Don't ask me how exactly but I'm sure it can do it and it's free. I'm not sure if the filters in it can be applied as it's recording. Maybe not exactly what you want but it's a voice changer and it's free http://download.cnet.com/Funny-Voice/3000-...tml?tag=lst-0-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seddo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I was wondering if anybody could help me with a few things... I downloaded Firefox a few days ago after IE was doing my head in, but when i click links that should open in the same page (like Google searches), they open in another tab, like below. How can i stop it opening in a new tab? Then why i try to access my emails from the Windows Live Messenger page i get an error, So i have to get to my emails by searching for Hotmail in Google. Anyone know what's wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmachine Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Is there a way to rename 71 folders to ALL CAPS without renaming them one by one? Preferably without additional software, maybe using the command prompt, if that is possible. If it is possible to do it with Total Commander, I am fine to download that.

This was suggested for changing extensions of multiple files, but I think you can use it to change filenames too. Put all of the files in the same folder on your desktop. Hold shift and right click on the folder. You should see an option to "Open command window here" Click that. In the command window type this: ren *.(old extension) *.(new extension) For example if you wanted to change all png files to gif, you would type ren *.png *.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmachine Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I am talking about folders. And I don't think that'd would work for that. Also, I am not a genius at command prompt, so I wouldn't be able to figure the command (if there is one) by myself . I did find something but that was for Linux .

Torcidas Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi everyone. My older computer has recently gone kaput and I'm looking to buying parts for a new one to put it together. Sort of a noob question though, but is it possible to run my old SATA hard drive straight through my new computer? I'm not looking to buy a new hard drive at the moment because I don't "own" a copy of Windows XP to run it from, but I'd like to know if my operating system will run from my old hard drive? I hope you can piece together what I'm asking. I'm kind of in a panic because I have a university essay on that hard drive that I need printed, and I'm trying to find a simple approach to it..

Chances are that it won't since the hardware has changed. The OS on your HDD was installed with drivers and registry keys pointing to your old hardware. You'll have to reinstall XP.

anus Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yep, you're going to have to reinstall Windows I'm afraid. You'll be able to backup the essay of course by just running the HDD on the new PC. And if you need a good build, give me a budget and I'll put together one for ya . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torcidas Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks for your replies, guys! One last quick question.. if the operating system installed on the new hard drive isn't the same as the one on the older one (like lets say different service packs XP or w/e), will I still be able to backup my file? Also, I'll PM you shortly Warlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, why not. You'll be booting from your new HDD and so all data on your older HDD will stay just as it was and you can easily copy it over to your new HDD.

Wolf68k Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 What you're talking about is caused by ad/spyware you need to get Ad-Aware and Spybot and let them both scan and remove what they find. Spybot can take it a step further by adding about 10,000+ site to block your system from even being to access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopskin Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Dear GTAF: How would i go about getting my old Music Collection off my iPod? i want to do it before i connect to iTunes and my new computer causes iTunes to wipe it. *last computer, clobbered XP installation. Maybe i could fish the files off with my ReactOS livecd...? Edited April 20, 2009 by poopskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 There are program out there for that iPod recovery. My suggestion is before you do even try it is to first, if you have iTunes installed already, is to stop the iPodService that is running but I would also back that up with renaming the iTunes folder just to make sure. Other than that just do a search for iPod recovery or iPod backup. I can't suggestion anything to use on Windows since I've only do it on a Mac.

How can i stop it opening in a new tab? That's odd, I had a good look through the firefox options, found nothing. I have a three button mouse, two normal clickers, plus a scroll wheel which doubles as a clicker. If I click a link with the scroll wheel it opens it in a new tab, left click loads it in the same window and right click shows options. Have you checked your mouse settings? Seems like the only thing that could be out of place to me. edit - my bad double post. Edited April 21, 2009 by asimov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disabling some services is a good start http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm Other wise Google for things like tweak vista or vista lite. This site could help http://www.tweakvista.com/ Some of these might point to something called vLite, this is for making a lightweight Vista to install with. It's for making your own customized install disc of Vista, besides slimming it down you can also slipstream hot-fixes, create accounts and add your CD key so you don't have to type it in each time you reinstall your OS. Not what you're looking for to trim down an existing install but useful if you want to create a disc for future installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouveia Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My dad has a MacBook and I'm getting fond of Mac OS X. Is it posible to get his DVD for the OS and install it on a Virtual Machine on my PC, using VirtualBox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopskin Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) so, guess what? my PSU finally took out something else in my new computer. at least we got the warranty and i have a copy of S.u.S.E i can install on my old computer to get it working. Computer's booting fine now, odd. However, i have backed up everything onto my external hard drive (thanks, norton 360!) in case something does happen, and i have no less then 5 Open-Source OSes ready to install on my last computer also in case something does happen, plus i want to refurbish it and use it as a jukebox or something.

If your system specs supports running it OSX normally then sure it should be ok in virutal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
