Audacity: Software noise Reduction

So you added id3 tags to all your media, but still you would be happier if none of your those great mp3 had that tape hissing noise. No worries, Open Source to the rescue
First you'll need to get a few tools all free
1. Audacity available here(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/beta/ladspa/ladspa-0.4.15.exe)
2. Lame: available here http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/libmp3lame-win-3.97.zip

So ready to go?
Just fire up the easy audacity installation extract the lame to any permanent folder you may want(maybe windows???)
1. Now start audacity from you start menu and import your mp3 file by dragging it into audacity window. Next select the 'Selection Tool' using the first icon just below the file menu.

2. You may now want to choose some noise only region of you audio track, most like at start or end

3. next goto noise removal in effects menu just click on generate noise profile
4. Select the whole tract using edit select-> all
5. fire up the same window again(effect-> noise removal) and this time you may want to preview the audio by clicking the preview button. You may move the bar almost to the left at start which is usually sufficient.
After you are satisfied just selct remove noise
6. Goto file and select export as mp3 here it will ask for file name etc. and also for lame encoder. Just guide it to the place where you extracted the lame encoder dll file. All done Enjoy noise free music this weekend

Add Album information to you media library

So you have got lot of mp3's maybe unorganized or sometimes organized into folder but containing no or wrong album info.
Here's a method to do it easily, without any additional downloads apart from you good old windows media player.
So To get going just add all your media to windows media library if you don't already have it:
1.In file(alt-F) menu select add to library
2. In the next window just cick on add and lead it to your songs folder

It will add new files to your library and you are ready to get going
Goto your library tab next and its better to use the library or songs view so that you can know which songs have partial information.
So for any song for which you need media information just right click on it and select find media info, media player will search for appropriate information and show you the results and you can select the one that suits you

No here is the most important trick if you know multiple songs are from same album just selet them all and then choose find media info, This should greatly improve the search and more often than not , there will be only one result and you can just click on finish to get the album info

Tata One cat

So You are a car fanatic, tata fan?
Well after the nano blast tata is to create another explosion the tata one cat
Yes, Tata Motors plans to launch the OneCat, a car running on compressed air by 2009.
You say oh its another impractical 60 mile/hr max speed costing 3.5 lakh+ concept, NO it isn't, so read on.



The car is expected to be a five-seater with a glass fiber body, which would weigh just 350 kg and cost just about Rs 2 lakh. The project is backed for an undisclosed sum by Tata, which says it may also use the technology for power generation.

A BBC report has pointed out that Tata's backing makes the idea much more marketable and that the Indian company will be putting finishing touches to the engine.

French engineer Negre is planning to sell the car in India by 2009, the report said. He hopes that the first buyers of the compressed air car will be people who care about the environment and would sell it for an economical price. Tata would be the only big firm Negre will license to sell the car and sales will be limited to India.

The car will be driven by compressed air stored in carbon-fiber tanks that can be filled in just three minutes. The tanks will be built into the chassis. The car can also be plugged into the mains for four hours and an on-board compressor will do the job.

For long journeys, the compressed air driving the pistons can be boosted by a fuel burner which heats the air so it expands and increases the pressure on the pistons. The burner will use all kinds of liquid fuel.

Mind you compressed air cars have very high accelerations in general and would really be suitable for stop and go traffic of indian cities. Further the car is virtually noise less and consumes absolutly no fuel while standing still

A few reasons why i hate java

Java has really sink to a new low for me.
I had never liked coding in java but this new project they forced me to use and its in my first proper java project that i see my instincts coming really true.
So as i follow this project i'll continue adding more points to it(Hopefully Not)
One more thing as I should make it clear i am new to JAVA, so if any of the points are wrong please comment and save me a headache:-

1.) You can't pass simple variables by reference in java

2.) There is no simple way to inherit constructors

3.) You have to instatiate each of Array element individually (Don't say you can use loops)

4.) Every Limitation is names as a feature in java books.

5.)

The name

Thought I should clarify it in first post itself where does the name come form. Firstly this post shall not pertain to any specific topic, but utterly random(as it seems) collection of material from any where i feel about. But why pseudo then. One obvious reason i couldn't get the url absolutelyrandom.blogspot.com. But a more technical reason is actually these posts won't be quite random but actully depending upon my mood which further depends on millions of factors, hence pseudo random. Huh where does really come from, i couldn't even get pseudorandom.blogspot.com

So how do i feel today:-
utterly bored hence u see me just typing out this random stuff just so that i can pass my type. If you are bany sensible person i suppose you won't be coming to this blog again but that wasn't my purpose. This post just help me waste 10 mins and that too freeof cost thanks to blogger.com
So you still reading then better wait for my next post. Hope thisone keeps you thinking till then
