MUSIC TIME CALCULATOR

[Conflow]

Hi All,

From time to time one has to calculate the 'total' playing time of Multiple Sound-Tracks

to coincide with a Slideshow running time. It is difficult to add more than 3/4 Tracks each

of X.mins + Y.secs to give a total Sound-Time. Yes it is possible to do this in Excel but

its 'tricky' at the best of times and nigh impossible to do if you don't know Excel.

Here below is a rare Program that can add Mins+Secs upwards of 20 entries.It also 'Prints'

out the addition's and answer and can import Numeric time values from other Programs.

Let me know if it's useful..

I mentioned it in the other thread but I'll mention it here as well. Your calculator is a very useful tool for those that need to put soundtracks together and timing is a factor. My Excel calculator does basically the same thing, but also deals with some other timing issues at the same time. Like you, I always save my music titles with the running time at the end. I don't use the dot, but simply use 4 digits. 0433 is 4min, 33sec.

Larry,

Thanks for the reply ~ I do appreciate what you are looking for ~ essentially you want to 'paste'

the Music Tracks into a Box which will show the Track-Title plus Track-Time and at the end

of a list of Tracks it shows the Total-Running Time.

The 'Accumulative Track Timer' I posted is really designed for those who don't know Microsoft-Excel

or can't configue it.

best regards,

Almost... The most important thing I need is speed. With my music window open, I can grab an approximate number of tracks, drop them into the calculator basket, the total track time displays somewhere. If the total time is less than the target time by 2-3 minutes, I have what I want. If I'm short or long on time, I can see the times of each track and quickly select and delete to shorten, or drop some new tracks into it. This will take about 1 minute or less. I then select all from the calculator basket, drag them to my video-edit working folder to await the final touch, the customized exact-length ending (or beginning, if I want) to bring my soundtrack to a perfect length. This custom procedure takes relatively no time to accomplish.
