Re: Working with the Sandisk Sansa-270

2009-02-16 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I assume it's not trivial to tell whether a Sansa e200 is a v1 or a v2 
model, since if it were, I'd assume the information I found on the web 
would have indicated such. Therefore, I doubt it says on the packaging 
whether you're getting a v1 or a v2 model. The best way to tell, from 
what I've found on the web, is to check the firmware level. Also, it 
appears that if it does mention Audible on the packaging then it is a v2 
model.

Fwd: DJay for the Mac Test Mix

2009-02-16 Thread Steve Pattison
From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net
To: VIP-L Mail List vi...@softspeak.com.au

Hi everyone!

I've commented on list about the Dj package called Djay for Mac and
how accessible it is, well that's correct however some of its
functions are a little tricky to set up in particular the sliders for
cross fading and so forth.

I've done a Test Mix of the settings I've made at 
http://web.me.com/califeron/filechute/Test%20Mix%20from%20Djay.mp3
  its a Mp3 mix of 4 tracks and you can hear how the cross fading and
processing work, if anyone things it sounds ok then I'm prepared to do
a podcast on how you set the package up, if people think it needs
further tweaking then let me know.

Cheers

Hello,
I have about twenty recordings recorded at the same volume level. I would like 
to find a program that can boost the volume of all of 
the files up the same amount. in other words, I want a file to be louder, but 
at the same level of loudness compared to the other 
nineteen files. Is this possible? If so, are there any free software that can 
do this? I tried mp3 direct cut, but it gave me 
different db levels for each file every time I normalize it.

Problem with Real Alternative

2009-02-16 Thread Samuel Wilkins
I am having a problem with Real Alternative. When I click on a sight that has 
an imbedded real file, it gives me a message saying a general error has 
occurred. When I click on more information, it says that no information is 
available. When I go into normal real player, it just says I'm in Media Player

List members, you may recall last week I presented a detailed explanation 
of
a problem I was having with Sound Forge 9 and two stereo channels 
appearing

in the same channel.  In other words, I could hear both channels in each
separate channel as though they had been mixed into a mono channel; hope
that recap makes sense.

I told you at the time that I had reseated the patch cord into the PC
without satisfactory results.  Many of you wrote back to encourage me to
reinstall the audio drivers perhaps or possibly double check to ensure 
that

Sound Forge was indeed recording in stereo in the first place.

Well, here's why I'm likely a good nominee for the Computer Audio Stupid
Tricks hall of fame:  I decided after being frustrated with this problem 
all

week and trying a bunch of solutions--using a different tape player, etc.,
that I would just start again with the absolute basics.  I knew beyond any
doubt more sure of it than I was of being able to breathe, that I had
inserted that cable properly and fully into my PC's audio input jack.  But
just for grins, I decided to give that plug one more little nudge.  It
already felt tight and in all the way.

Well, you can all guess the rest, and by now I hope you're smiling just a
bit.  Trust me, you should smile guilt free about this; I've been laughing
at myself since yesterday. When I gave that cord that little nudge, I 
heard

it click just once more and felt it settle into the jack ever-so-slightly
further.  Of course, my problem instantly went away and I was again 
hearing

my separate tracks in their separate channels as they should be.

Well, that's what being arrogant and cocky will do for you.  I was so
absolutely certain I had that cord in there as far as it would go, but 
that
extra eighth of an inch or so made all the difference.  I figured I'd 
share

my little story, since none of you have ever done anything like that and
never will.  I want you to at least vicariously enjoy a good laugh or 
smile
at my expense or along with me or whatever you prefer.  I guess the moral 
of

this little story is, no matter how sure you are about your connections,
check'em one last time before you write this list.

Thanks to all of you who wrote back and expressed your concern; I hope
you'll forgive me for wasting your time reading and responding to that
earlier message.

2009-02-16 Thread Robert Logue

Is that one of those 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks?

I've noticed some are really hard to get that last little bit in.  I've felt 
them very carefully and think the problem is they don't make the divisions 
between the different sections smooth enough.  Some brands are much better 
than others.


Anyway, I've done the same thing fairly recently thinking something was 
broken because I was sure the jack was inserted all the way.

Sound Problems

2009-02-16 Thread Gary Petraccaro
I have a P4 mother board from Intel with built-in sound.  I'm using Nero 7.  I 
want to rip some cds for play on a mono system.  I check mono and the 
appropriate bit rate in Nero and the rip proceeds to what the software calls 
success.  Problem is, the mp3s which I play are still in stereo.  I don't know 
whether this is a Nero problem or a sound driver problem.  I have no other 
system to test on.  I'd appreciate some verification that mono works or doesn't 
work from someone else using Nero of 7 or later, or a suggestion as to what to 
look at or try.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: I'm About to be Nominated to the Dumb Computer Audio Tricks Hall 
ofFame!


List members, you may recall last week I presented a detailed explanation of
a problem I was having with Sound Forge 9 and two stereo channels appearing
in the same channel.  In other words, I could hear both channels in each
separate channel as though they had been mixed into a mono channel; hope
that recap makes sense.

I told you at the time that I had reseated the patch cord into the PC
without satisfactory results.  Many of you wrote back to encourage me to
reinstall the audio drivers perhaps or possibly double check to ensure that
Sound Forge was indeed recording in stereo in the first place.

Well, here's why I'm likely a good nominee for the Computer Audio Stupid
Tricks hall of fame:  I decided after being frustrated with this problem all
week and trying a bunch of solutions--using a different tape player, etc.,
that I would just start again with the absolute basics.  I knew beyond any
doubt more sure of it than I was of being able to breathe, that I had
inserted that cable properly and fully into my PC's audio input jack.  But
just for grins, I decided to give that plug one more little nudge.  It
already felt tight and in all the way.

Well, you can all guess the rest, and by now I hope you're smiling just a
bit.  Trust me, you should smile guilt free about this; I've been laughing
at myself since yesterday. When I gave that cord that little nudge, I heard
it click just once more and felt it settle into the jack ever-so-slightly
further.  Of course, my problem instantly went away and I was again hearing
my separate tracks in their separate channels as they should be.

Well, that's what being arrogant and cocky will do for you.  I was so
absolutely certain I had that cord in there as far as it would go, but that
extra eighth of an inch or so made all the difference.  I figured I'd share
my little story, since none of you have ever done anything like that and
never will.  I want you to at least vicariously enjoy a good laugh or smile
at my expense or along with me or whatever you prefer.  I guess the moral of
this little story is, no matter how sure you are about your connections,
check'em one last time before you write this list.

Thanks to all of you who wrote back and expressed your concern; I hope
you'll forgive me for wasting your time reading and responding to that
earlier message.

Nolan, who can easily be recognized in a PC-Audio list group photo because
he's the one wearing the embarrassed smile.

To: VIP-L Mail List vi...@softspeak.com.au

Hi everyone!

I've commented on list about the Dj package called Djay for Mac and
how accessible it is, well that's correct however some of its
functions are a little tricky to set up in particular the sliders for
cross fading and so forth.

I've done a Test Mix of the settings I've made at
http://web.me.com/califeron/filechute/Test%20Mix%20from%20Djay.mp3
 its a Mp3 mix of 4 tracks and you can hear how the cross fading and
processing work, if anyone things it sounds ok then I'm prepared to do
a podcast on how you set the package up, if people think it needs
further tweaking then let me know.

Cheers

Hi there Samuel well  some web sites only allow real player or windows mecia 
player.  I have found that if you install mp player over the real player?  it 
will play because it use's mp only.   I hope this makes sense for I use the 
enternet for alot of reasons, for example wabc use's only mp not real player 
the same for kabc.  Hey try this web site for listening to any kind of

Re: Intro and Help needed urgently, or at least fast

2009-02-16 Thread Constantine

That's the problem. You need a headset that isn't USB.
USB headsets can only use microhone output. If you get a headset that pluggs 
right into the soundcard you should be able to record your voice and 
speech - of course, this might depend, if your soundcard doesn't support the 
microphone in playback options.

Hi everyone,
I'm Rob.  Ok enough with the intro. lol
I want to record a demo showing off a piece of software.  I am running 
Windows Vista which is probably the cause of my grief.  I am using a 
Logitek USB headset mic.  What I would like to do is not only record my 
voice, but the speach synthesizer and the sounds of the software I am 
demoing.  Using the Headset Mic, I can only get voice to record, none of 
the otherh sounds I need.  I have a number of sound recording programs at 
my disposal including Sony Soundforge Sound Studio 9.0, audacity, 
goldwave.  I can get none of these to record more than just my voice.  I 
went to control pannel, sounds, went to the record tab and put it to 
stereo mix.  When I tried this, absolutely nothing records, so the 
frustration level is very very high. lol
Can someone give me a work around or even better a sollution so I can 
record voice, synthesizer, and sounds made by the software?  I even tried 
total recorder to no avail.

Thanks for your help in advance.
Rob, the incredibly frustrated, non demo recording person.

Re: software request

2009-02-16 Thread patricknc
I don't know what that software was  I didn't send it, but in case they 
don't get your message and don't send the software, here's a suggestion.  It 
may not work, but it's worth a try.  I've recovered more than one message 
this way.  Look in your Deleted folder.  It may take some time, but it's 
sure worth a try.  In case anybody doesn't know how to do this, and I know 
most people do, just do a shift-tab and down-arrow to Deleted and tab into 
the list.  Simple and obvious I know, but sometimes we overlook the most 
obvious.  I know I have many times.

I can't tell you  exactly how to do this in vista but go to the playback 
properties in the volume control and make sure mic and wave volumes are 
checked. then close the volume control. you should here the synthesizer and 
your voice through the USB headset once you plug it in. in the record 
properties, make sure the stereo mix is checked and do the same within which 
recording program you choose to use.

Hi,

You can't use stario mix using a USB headset, as far as I know. Windows 
treats it as its own soundcard and I've yet to see one with stario mix 
capability.
