GoldWave's Doppler Features
Hi everyone. I'm having great fun playing around with GoldWave at the moment and am trying to work out how to use the presets and controls in the Doppler area to create different content. I usually find the GoldWave manual really helpful for explaining what results should occur from different actions and what each control does (so that it can be adjusted accordingly) but I feel completely unenlightened after looking at this section of the Help menu. Is there a problem with completing tasks here because of the manual's suggestion of using the mouse or can Jaws be used to create the same results? Sorry for what I'm sure is a very basic question but any help, either on or off list, will be much appreciated. I think I'm using GoldWave 5.65 (I know, I haven't updated for a while) but I imagine not much has changed over time.

RE: Looking for a good USB or blue tooth microphone headset combo for my PC.
I would make one comment about the h800 while it is a decent communications headset it's not ideal for webcasting. This has been my experience at any rate. Ray T.

RE: GoldWave's Doppler Features
while we're talking about goldwave, I continue to be baffled. I can not move markers and can not find an obvious way to control the zoom rates. What am I missing?

Could you expound on that further please? Why isn't this headset any good for Webcasting and what do you define as Webcasting, are you talking about Internet broadcasting/streaming?

Re: Looking for a good USB or blue tooth microphone headset combo for my PC.
Okay thanks, yes this H800 is a good headset for general use but certainly not a professional quality pair of headphones by any manner of means and neither would anyone consider it so for the price though it has many attributes to recommend the device, works very well with Skype has been optimised for that sort of thing. Excellent microphone for voice chat which works well and has good noise cancelation properties. On 9/08/2015 2:41 AM, Ray T. Mahorney wrote: you nailed it Ray T.

Re: GoldWave's Doppler Features
Hi! Been a good while since I've used Goldwave I admit so don't know whether you've tried this. Have you looked up the Goldwave Manual under Help? Its a HTML file that gets loaded automatically into your browser and I do know that this document contains an exhaustive list of keyboard shortcuts for Goldwave so link to that and see if you can find something to help you there.

Re: Looking for a good USB or blue tooth microphone headset combo for my PC.
One of the better Bluetooth headsets you've used? That being the case then you're easily satisfied and have not heard a better quality bluetooth headset smile. Yep, okay for just playing audio in most cases but absolutely dreadful! when using it in speaker phone mode but - as I said earlier - its a cheap headset and - given that - I guess one can't really complain. If you're going to be looking for a bluetooth headset for communication this the Logitech H800 just isn't it, using the wireless dongle with the headset on your PC or Mac is brilliant.

If so then I see where you're coming from and I did point out that the H800 is not a professional headset by any manner of means, its good for what its designed for and that's chat and general use.

There are many out there, probably the most well known is the Logitech H800 which has been discussed many times on the list. Like everything it has its advantages and disadvantages, its cheap and yep, a very cheap build. Has quite nice sound when using it with USB on your computer but Bluetooth certainly needs to be upgraded. Can be used whilst the battery charges. Folds up for easy carrying. Has controls for answering/ending calls, skipping backwards and forwards through tracks and so on. Note that the answering/ending buttons may not work with Skype, this is a known problem with the set. Warning beep sounds when batteries are running down, battery life is around 8 hours. A nice pair of headphones for chatting but nothing particularly special when it comes to music listening, build is terrible so don't expect the headphones to last too long. I think this product is around $50 so no, not too expensive, if you want something that will dazzle and excite you with its performance then try something like the Senheiser MM-500.

It does what I want, but I'm curious about headset/microphone combinations for the PC. The headset needs to be stereo. I'm looking for either USB or blue tooth options. Also, I need something that doesn't cost me the PC to get it. Thanks in advance for any information. Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY -- ** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
Multi Room Sound Controlled By Your Android Device
I've had a Bose Soundtouch Portable for 9 months. Initially the only way of controlling the Soundtouch was via the IOS Smartphone App but Android Lollypop has changed all that, the Soundtouch Android App works quite well and I'm able to get to most of the functions I need, I can search for stations, browse the station list, look at what I've recently listened to, select which preset I wish to hear, browse my media library on my UPNP media server, select what I want to listen to on pandora and so on. I'm not saying that accessibility can't be improved upon because it certainly can but enough information in the App is provided to give you a hand and an idea of where you are and what you're doing, given that then there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to make near to full use of the Soundtouch system as intended. The Bose Soundtouch system comes in 4 models to my knowledge, the small portable which has a surprising level of sound which will easily fill a medium-sized room or apartment and is fully portable and can run from its internal battery and moved from room to room, the mid-sized tabletop model, a bigger tabletop and the Wave Soudtouch which incorporates multi band radio - including AM and Digital radio in some countries - and a Multi format CD player. -- ** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
RE: Multi Room Sound Controlled By Your Android Device
Oh this is just way too super epic dude! How more accessible is it than the IOS app? Or are they quite equal? I was shocked to leain when I first heard of the sound touch stuff that it was so inaccessible as it was. I mean, come on. This is Bose we are talking about here.

Re: Multi Room Sound Controlled By Your Android Device
When I first got the Bose Soundtouch the IOS App was very difficult to use but not impossible. I've not had IOS for 2 months so I've no idea if the App has become any more accessible butI can tell you that the App was updated for IOS was updated several times when I was using it and improvements were added thus. For accessibility as I remember things the IOS and Android Apps would be about equal now. The Windows App was accessible though you had to know exactly what you were doing in order to use it and the Mac App wasn't accessible at all last time I tried it, time to try all that stuff again as I'm wondering whether I should buy the Bose Wave Soundtouch or something else.

Re: Multi Room Sound Controlled By Your Android Device
Yes, there are differing opinions on the quality of Bose audio - my opinion is that the sound from Bose products isn't what I'd get from other stuff I have - however a couple of things are clear, Bose as a company make products that are easy to use, convenient to use and their service/support is second to none. When I first got the Soundtouch last year I wanted to know how to update the firmware so I rang Bose to ask, Bose asked for my details and I had a chap on the phone next day from Bose who arranged an in-house appointment with me to show me what steps I needed to take, I certainly didn't expect that and was hoping for a read from the manual, the procedure is laid out but the buttons one needs to pressed are depicted in picture form as is so often the case with manuals these days.

Re: Multi Room Sound Controlled By Your Android Device
That's cool. They actually sent someone. Yeah I like Bose speakers well enough. My only beaf now is they don't have a 7.1 system at the very least. I have heard speakers that seem to have more highs. Which I love for things like Godzilla 1998's tornado blast roar as the toy boxes always called it. Seriously especially Trendmasters. Ahahahahaha! Right now the crispist thing I have is the JBL speakers in my Samsung TV-monitor. I love hearing Zilla roar on those. You hear the wistle nice and sharp. The Soundlink system 3 did pretty good with this. Shockingly better then the Companion 5 vurtual surround sound USB speaker system. The Soundlink Mini onthe other hand, not so well. The Mini 2 which is now shaped like the system 3 and has the buttons in the same order as the system 3 did a bit better and worse. Wander how the sound touch stuff will do.
