- The Program
- TwoTrak is shareware, it is not a free program. You may use TwoTrak
- free for 30 days at which time you must register it if you wish to
- continue using it. Please see the registration form below for
- instructions on how to register TwoTrak.
-
- For the latest version of TwoTrak for Windows, see our web site at
- http://home.teclink.net/~jburrell/TwoTrak.html
-
- TwoTrak is a two track stereo (4 track mono) wave file recording and
- mixing program.
-
- TwoTrak is designed to allow the user to record a wave file while
- listening to the playback of a previously recorded wave file, and
- then overdub (i.e. combine) the record file on top of the play file.
- Using this technique, the user can create a wave file containing
- several instruments and/or voices, much like a song from compact disc
- or the radio.
-
-
- System Requirements
- Window 3.x or Windows 95 (Versions for each are available)
- Any Windows supported sound card with full duplex drivers
- (Optional: A more powerful processor provides better file sync with
- higher sampling and bit rates.)
-
-
- Installation
- To install, create a directory on your hard drive called TwoTrak.
- Place the TwoTrak zip file in this directory and unzip it using any
- recently released unzip utility program. The file will expand and
- create three new files; readme.txt, TwoTrak.doc (same as readme.txt
- in Microsoft Word v7.0 format), and TwoTrak.exe.
-
- If you have Windows 95, right click on TwoTrak.exe and drag the file
- to your desktop and release. Then click on 'Create shortcut'. Double
- click on the TwoTrak icon to run the program.
-
- If you have Windows 3.x, use program manager to create a new group
- and an icon for TwoTrak.exe.
-
-
- Instructions (of the most basic kind) for operation of 'TwoTrak.exe'
- When TwoTrak is first run you will see the 'Record Trak' on the left
- and the 'Playback Trak' on the right. The 'Record Trak' will show
- 'trak1.wav' as the suggested name for a file to record. The following
- is a tutorial sequence of steps to allow the user to record a 'trak'
- (wave file) and then overdub another trak on top of the first.
-
- 1. Set the desired 'Wave Format' by clicking on the << Wave Format >>
- button.
- 2. Set the desired input (i.e. microphone or line) and the recording
- level using either the software that came with your sound card or
- Windows mixer software.
- 3. Click the Record button and record your voice or music.
- 4. Click on Stop Recording.
- 5. If you wish you may listen to your recording at this point by
- typing (or cut and paste) the name of your newly recorded file
- (i.e. trak1.wav) in the 'Playback Trak' filename window and
- clicking Playback. If you hear nothing go back and check step 2,
- then repeat steps 3 and 4.
- 6. Change the name of the record file to a different name such as
- 'trak2.wav'. You can not record and play using the same file name.
- 7. Click << Record+Play >> and record your voice or music. Note you
- will also hear your previous recording being played back at the
- same time.
- 8. Click on Stop Recording.
- 9. Click on >> Overdub >>. This will combine the first and second
- recordings into the 'Playback Trak' (i.e. trak1.wav).
- 10. Click on Playback. You should hear the first and second recordings
- being played together.
- 11. At this point you may repeat steps 6 through 10 to add additional
- traks.
-
