Before you transfer your entire tape collection over to your hard drive, make sure you're getting a good recording. Record what you did, then give it a listen. If you set up everything correctly, you should have a fairly clean digital copy of your old analog tapes. If the recording is too quiet or too noisy (the music is quiet but there's lots "fuzzy" noise), the output was too low and the recording did not have enough signal to offset the noise. If the recorded sound sounds like it's being played through a broken speaker or a meat grinder, your recording was too loud, and the sound's distorted. You can adjust your computer's sound settings to help offset the above issues. You may not need to do any editing, but if you want to cut out silences, erase some tracks, or change the volume, for example, most sound recording programs will allow you to do so. Programs such as Audacity (available on both Windows and Mac computers) can perform basic editing, while more advanced paid programs may be able to clean up your recording. When editing, it is a good idea to keep the original file as a backup and change the names of edited files when you save them in case you find you made a mistake. When you're sure you like the edited file, you can delete the original to save drive space on your computer. Once you have a basically good recording, you can improve it by using audio tools, chief among which is a process called "normalization". Normalizing your audio will ensure that the loudest peaks are at or near 100% of full scale (e.g, when all the meters are lit, or 0dB, depending on your metering). Most audio-editing programs offer some form of normalization. This is not something you will use for every recording you make, as it can render a lot of music lifeless. It works by keeping the loudest sounds about where they started while bringing up the level of the quieter passages. You lose the difference between the highs and lowsor dynamicsand in return, you get an apparently louder recording. When listening at home, this isn't necessarily desirable, but if you're making a CD for your car, it can be very useful. Depending on your speakers, how they're set up, and the quality of your overall playback system, adjusting the EQ to taste can be helpful. A word of caution, though: like compression, "good" EQ is subjective. While you may adjust the EQ so it sounds great on your system, the same music may sound distorted or off on another system. Once you've gone through the trouble of converting your old cassettes, make saving a copy of your recording the first thing you do before you start any reconstructive (or just destructive) edits (normalization, EQ, compression, etc.)

One-sentence summary -- Record a small amount at first. Edit your recording. Normalize the audio if needed. Apply compression. Equalize (EQ) the audio. Always work with a copy.

Q: If you are a beginner in gymnastics, you need to build up your flexibility gradually over time. Begin in a way in which you feel most comfortable and slowly develop yourself one step at a time. Try some gentle stretches, such as the side stretch. Stand with your feet together and lace your fingers together. Raise your arms over your head and focus on lengthening your torso as well as your arms and legs. Gently lean to one side, and hold for 10 seconds. Return to the starting position then repeat on the other side. Stretch your legs by standing an arm's length away from a wall. Keep your arms straight and rest your hands on the wall, then bring one foot back, keeping it straight. Let your front knee bend and hold the stretch for 10 seconds. Return to the starting position then repeat with the opposite leg. Sometimes people unknowingly hold their breath when stretching, but this is not a habit you want to create. Breathe deeply when you are stretching, and exhale on the more difficult movements. This will help you to concentrate, as well as get oxygen into your muscles. Aim to stretch your entire body each day rather than focusing on one particular area. Stretch your arms and upper body, your torso, back, and abdomen, as well as your lower body and legs. You may already be able to move certain muscles effectively, yet can do hardly anything in another area or on the opposite side. Practice where you need it and maintain the areas in which you are already flexible. There is no set limit of time or specific day to stretch. You can do it when you wake up, go to sleep, or simply during commercial breaks when you're watching television. Just be sure to stretch each day, or you risk losing flexibility. If you know a friend who is practically a master gymnast, ask for tips on how to stay motivated and get them to work with you daily until you achieve your goals.
A: Start out small. Remember to breathe. Stretch all your major muscle groups. Identify your strengths and weak spots. Stretch every single day. Seek "professional" help.

Article: This will bring up the "Design Menu," which is used to place page numbers. Alternatively, click on "Insert" in the top bar. This should bring up a ribbon on the top that allows you to add page numbers. This allows you to choose where the page numbers go.

Once you select the exact position of your page numbers, Word will automatically add the numbers to your entire document. There are many options for page numbering. However, you can also adjust your own page numbers slightly if one isn't quite what you wanted. Each version of Word is slightly different, so some of the exact placement of buttons may change. However, all current versions of Word allow page numbering by double-clicking on the top or bottom of the page. This will allow you to open up the Page Number menu.

Problem: Article: It is likely that you will receive anti-fungal medication, and in almost all cases (95 percent) the forms of the disease can be treated successfully. Early diagnosis for long lasting or severe symptoms (see symptoms above) and beginning aggressive anti-fungal treatment is important. Be alert to tell your medical doctor or consult other physician (or veterinarian for animals) of your ongoing issues. Request tests with doctors for persons who show symptoms. Screening tests are not performed on people without symptoms to see if they have been exposed. While you should remain confident that it is treatable, be aware that sometimes it may develop into several life-threatening, severe forms such as: Growth of invasive nodules in the brain or lungs, Fungal pneumonia, or May develop meningitis (compare to spinal meningitis) -- a lethal nerve and brain lining disease; Also skin infections are possible.
Summary: Seek treatment from your usual medical professional. Follow up if your do not feel relief. Remain positive.
