Just usual rant. I got a functional spec. I implemented it. The app was deployed on the server, I marked the item done. The manager (who wrote the spec) went in, claimed she did not see any changes and moved the item back to me. I went to the server and confirmed the changes are live and working as per the spec... Except that I found out that she's looking for different results than what she described in the document. Again. FUUU!! Mad | :mad:

I lost track of how many times the spec has been changed after I pointed out such issues.

Because somebody is going to bring it up - no, it's not the scenario where a developer misunderstood the spec. Trust me. Cool | :cool:

I'm 100% sure of that, because the requirements are explicit in that place.

And that is why specifications should be under source control, just like your code.

My daughters are doing a little playette for a party we're attending at the weekend. As part of it, they have some music that they want played in the background.
I have the music but I want to be able to edit it so that the volume drops. Is there anything anyone can recommend, beyond me standing beside the 'puter and manually changing the machine's volume.

Audacity

And if you have a Linux Box there is an exceptional command line tool: mp3gain. Used it quite a lot back in the days...

I'd ~~second~~ third Audacity - it's not the most obvious UI in the world, but it does the job (with the help of Mrs Google).

Stupid Question Of The Day

What´s wrong with the volume button? I know this is tedious, but my guess is that you want to "normalize" the volume accross mp3´s? In that case you´re in for one hell of a job to get all songs fixed.

If it´s crossfading between songs you want try a DJ program like Virtual DJ[^] which I found fun to work with. Chances are the application can even normalize the volume for you...

Hope this helps.

You mean lower the volume for speaking parts?

If so, not necessaily a good idea to pre-duck it. You really can't anticipate when it would be needed...pauses for applause, missed cues, temporary actor blanking will totally mess things up.

It /shouldn't/ be a problem. There's a silly intro mime of getting ready with the music full on, then it fades down and that's the prompt to start actificating.
