Connecting Multiple devices to a laptop with one audio jack
Hello everyone. I'm a brand new subscriber. I just purchased a Dell Latitude 5530 laptop. It's a very nice machine but it only has one jack for the Microphone, Headphone, Line in and Line out. If I want to connect a headset that contains separate microphone and headphone plugs, what kind of cable do I need? Also, the sound card doesn't contain a What U Hear option so I probably need a mixer to mix the audio from JAWS and a microphone, etc. I don't think I need a real elaborate one. Do any of you have recommendations? Thanks so much. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Using Goldwave
Hello everyone. I'm new to sound editing and have Goldwave. Are there any tutorials or scripts for oGoldwavee? I'm particularly interested in learning to do tight editing and mixing. Thanks so much. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Connecting Multiple devices to a laptop with one audio jack
I would buy a USB sound card to connect all your bits to. Shop around and you should find something that will do the job. regards.

Re: Using Goldwave
Paul, you may want to try the following couple of resources for help in getting to grips with Goldwave. And the first link here will take you through getting and installing the scripts. http://startbutton1.home.comcast.net/~startbutton1/gw/gw.htm I'm also pretty sure there's Goldwave help to be found over at www.blind-geek-zone.net although I haven't checked this before sending, sorry. Hope there's something here of use! Darran - Original Message - From: Paul Hunt prhu...@att.net To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 6:01 PM Subject: Using Goldwave Hello everyone.

Re: Using Goldwave
Paul, first, read the help documentation that comes with goldwave. It's pretty extensive. Next for the type of audio editing I do, I haven't needed a script at all, Either I'm not requiring exacting results, or, you can get buy without scripts. Who knows. People work in unique ways, and my methods may not suit other folks, or they may do. The developer works with Dave Bar I think his name is, and around daves suggestions based on his extensive experience, the programme is particularly keyboard friendly. As for mixing, which you mention, don't know what you intend. GW may not be the programme for you, but then again, it may suit you down to the last digital byte.

Re: Another Discovery Concerning My Winamp Problem
Not sure what may be causing your Winamp problems. If you don't mind loosing your custom settings, you might delete the winamp.ini file and see if things get back to normal.

Audacity or GW
Hi all, I eventually will be getting a copy of Sonar 8.5. But between that upgrade and the Jaws scripts for it will cost me a wopping $700.00 which I don't currently have. In the meantime, I need to start making podcasts and musical spotst for radio broadcasting using Shoutcast and hopefully Station Playlist. I am looking at either Audacity or GoldWave. Which one of these Digital audio editing software packages should I start investing time into learning. I also must choose to either upgrade to WE 8.x or I can also use Jaws 13. What do you guys think? Thanks for your input, Blessings, John To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Audacity or GW
Audacity is free and allows for multitracking with control over individual tracks. It also has more extensive effects and better noise reduction than Goldwave, but it is more complex than Goldwave and takes longer to master. Goldwave has a reasonable price, but cannot multitrack. The key strokes in Goldwave are easier to use. Both work well with speech. There is a free guide on using Audacity with speech which covers the main issues.

Re: Logitech surround sound speakers z506
Ok, the speakers are with five hook ups the one is like an rs232 connection while the others are like the standard ones you might see as like rca jacks. the 3.5 mm chords there is one with double plugs on each end, then one that has one on each, there is a two rca input set. I have them hooked up and from what i can tell they sound great.
