Like ProTools, REAPER is a professional grade DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and a license can be purchased for as little as $60. Like most true DAWs, REAPER is designed first and foremost around music production. So, some configuring is needed to optimize i...
In 2014, I stopped using Macs, and in 2020, I stopped using Windows. But, this wasn’t supposed to be an article about the shortcomings of the platforms of my past. It was supposed to focus on the present, and the future. But before I get there, I really should explain how I got here…
I’ve used lin...
Just like my scripts that add this functionality to both TwistedWave and Audacity, it is possible to get Audition to do a basic Punch & Roll.
My script is written for Mac OSX, it should be possible to implement a similar script on Windows using a program called Auto HotKey.
1. On your M...
If you are using my AppleScript that adds Punch and Roll to TwistedWave and want to assign a Keyboard Shortcut to the script, follow the steps outlined below. Any image that has been reduced in size to fit the page can be enlarged by clicking on it.
1. In your Applications folder, double click o...
Download the TwistedWave – Punch and Roll script here.
Two months ago, I put together a Punch and Roll script for Audacity. It was a bit clunky, but it worked. I’ve since modified it, and broken it out into separate parts (move audio, run pre-roll, etc), and I have found it much more useful.

So, it turns out, that after doing some pretty thorough research (see last week’s article), I do in fact indeed need a Vocal Isolation Booth. And, with all of the choices on the market, it seems like a good idea to document the process.
Question #1: Do I want to permanently transform part of my ...
Even after using almost every advanced DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) out there, I still have a soft spot in my heart for Audacity.
It’s a wonderful piece of open source software that can handle an incredible number of common audio editing tasks. One reason that people sometimes leave Aud...
It may seem a bit counter-intuitive, but since Mac OSX is based on BSD, you open programs (including web browsers) like you do on other UNIX derivatives. In Preferences, under General, you will find Web Browsers. Add a new browser. Name it anything you like. Put /usr/bin/open into the Loca...
From My Scripts for Pomodoro Desktop | Steven Jay Cohen:
To follow up on my scripts for Pomodoro Desktop, here are some Adium versions of the same scripts:
Start script:
set timeStr to time string of ((current date) + (25 * minutes))
set Pos to offset of ":" in timeStr
set timeStr...
Pomodoro Desktop is a great utility to aid in Time Management. It helps break tasks down into simple, bite-sized chunks.
My workplace has a simple policy. If your iChat status is set to DND (Do Not Disturb), people leave you alone completely. I have found that people stress out less about not bei...
Running MAMP on standard ports (80 for Apache and 3306 for mySQL) makes MAMP ask for a password on each start up. I would like MAMP to start automatically when I log in without requiring a password.
There are a few ways to do this posted around the web, but they all involve hacking MAMP in one w...
Now, it’s one thing for a company like Netflix to “accidentally” exclude Chrome, but I cannot imagine a valid excuse for Google Web Toolkit not supporting Google’s own Chrome for Development Mode.
This looks like a genuine #googlefail 🙁
Netflix Watch Instantly should work fine in Google Chrome. After all, it is using the same rendering engine as Safari, so it should just work, right?
The answer is not that simple…
Google Chrome for the Mac is 100% capable of running Netflix Watch Instantly, but the web-geeks at Netflix are ba...
Old-timer mac users will remember the Desktop Accessory called Key Caps. Key Caps made it very simple to look up how to get your keyboard to input special characters. Apple dropped Key Caps in Mac OSX 10.2. So, I made Key Viewer.
Apple still ships the Keyboard Viewer as part of OSX, but without Ke...
