 Hi larry, in the January 2008 edition of FSCast, which I host and produce, 
 I
 demonstrated using iTunes in conjunction with jTunes. This was before the
 latest update, but it will give you some indication as to how it works.

 If you would like to hear this episode, the link is:

 Hope this is of some help.

 Hi Gordon. Larry here. Steve posted the original jTunes update message,
 forwarded from another list. So far as I know, it's still in the coming 
 soon
 category.
 this post concerning the updated version of the program is actually the
 first that I've heard of it. Do you own the previous version? can you tell
 me anything about cost and such?

 To date, as far as I know, this application represents the only means by
 which a blind person can successfully navigate iTunes.

 For whatever my info might be worth, I asked the Window-Eyes folks if 
 their
 soon to be released version 7.0 would offer similar iTunes support, but a
 representative indicated preference to withhold comment until the release 
 of
 Window-Eyes 7.0. Certainly their privellege, but it leaves me uncertain as
 to whether to purchase jTunes straight away.

 At any rate, since I am presently reviewing screen reader options for
 reasons that do not apply to this list, I am very interested in jTunes. I
 have jaws 8 on board and jTunes claims to work with Jaws 6 through 9. If I
 happen to see news of an official release before it is posted by another
 member, I'll certainly pass along what I learn.

Hi Larry
The previous Jtunes was a payable upgrade - I'm not sure but I think it's
about £30. It works fairly well and certainly makes Itunes workable. It has
one or two restrictions but in general is good. The new version sounds just
what we need and so as you can see I'm keen to get it.
Regards.

Hi. Napster is a service that allows users to purchase individual songs and 
full albums. Membership at a higher level allows you to download tracks and 
in some cases albums which you may keep on your harddrive as long as you 
continue to pay the monthly fee.

I hope this helps.

Samuel, I gather that you are using Window-Eyes. The custom control took me 
to the Napster home page. The first picture link also brought me to their 
home page. The second picture link took me to searches that I had not yet 
cleared. To work successfully in Napster with Window-Eyes, you're going to 
nee to use your mouse keys quite a lot.

 Hey Kelly,

 I have just forwarded your note to a colleague within the company for
 which I am employed.  He is a managing director of the Logitech
 technical support project, which includes Squeezebox.  Hopefully, I
 can get some answers from Logitech.

 In the meantime, I would strongly urge you to open up a ticket with
 the company's technical support team (which actually goes to my
 employer) and
 escalate it as far as possible, not granting permission for its
 closure until the access issue is addressed to your satisfaction.  If
 any others out here have Logitech products with access issues, I would
 advise you all to do likewise.  I'm wondering if we can somehow
 utilize the technical support process of some companies to get at
 least some of what we need?

 Hello,

 Apologies if this has been discussed here already but I didn't see it.
 Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and
 I've been very pleased.

 However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software
 for streaming  to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the
 server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version.  You can
 switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the
 challenges.

 The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is
 intigrated into the server software.  Earlier you had to connect to
 the Squeeze Network.

 The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous
 instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer
 created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of
 a mouse.  For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you
 now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing
 with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play
 list to appear.

 Just thought I'd share in case anyone else updates,

 Kelly

Hello Samuel. Napsteroffers membership to residents of several countries 
outside the U.S. including Britain Japan and Canada. One membership level 
lets you download
files that you keep as  long as you maintain your paid membership. On
another level you just by tracks and albums as you would at Amazon and the
like with no membership fee.In the States and here in Canada, a free trial 
is offered.

I understand your frustration. Here in Canada, Amazon.com, Rapsidy and other
companies based in the states block us from purchasing downloads at their
websites. Those of us who live outside the U.S. are also blocked from 
listening to Clear
Channels radio streams.The page that comes up when you attempt to stream a 
Clear Channel radio station says that non-U.S. surfers are blocked due to 
licensing restrictions. In my experience, I have never found a broadcast 
stream for any station owned by a company other than clear channel that 
blocks non-U.S. surfers, though others may exist that I have simply not yet 
discovered.

 Hello, I tried your suggestions, however amazon.co.uk does not have that

 if you are not a US resident. Can anyone suggest any websites that have a

 High Larry,
 I did call them and talk to them.
 In a stereo preamp, you will need at least 1 tube per channel.
 But in that preamp, it's only using 1 12AX7 tube to feed your turntable to
 your sound card.
 How can you get stereo sound out of 1 tube?

 Hi Gordon. When you have a file of a record with lots of pops, clicks
 and
 overall surface noise, try the impulse filters first. They make a great
 first step and they work especially well when you are dealing with the
 entire file as you and I are.

 I'm sure you'll know about the automatic scratch hiss and hum 
 removal
 preset
 in DC6 and 7. It actually can be pretty good at adjusting to various
 problems over a large file. The noise reduction presets are also
 excellent -
 there's usually something which works. The compression and expansion
 along
 with the general exciter presets are varied and excellent. Version 7
 claims
 to get rid of the many sound artifacts which can occur. I also have
 their

 noise

 but it's good.

 The couple of problems we have in not having a fully accessible
 program
 are
 as follows:
 1. The file navigation and selection tools need linking into 
 standard
 Windows keypresses, as in Audition and Gold Wave. At present if I'm
 really
 stuck I'll take a noise sample from the file in Audition - just a
 second
 or
 two - then analyse it in DC7, make a preset, then apply it to the
 whole
 file. Similarly if I'm really stuck I'll break the whole file into
 time
 sections which I take careful note of and after performing cleaning
 in
 DC7
 I
 then rebuild the file so as not to be one frame out.
 2. The other place I would like access to is the multitab editor
 where
 you
 can chain a variety of effects so that they are all applied at once
 rather
 than just one at a time. You can then put together your favourites
 and
 make
 a thorough and quicker difference.

 3. The preset boxes are pretty good but it would be good to have the
 'fine

 the
 Jaws

Hi John. I enjoy working with DC7 and I think you will too. If you find you 
need a hand at any time, give me a shout and I'll do what I can.

As for GoldWave, I like it for the ease with wich I can split files 
manually, which is my preference. I listen to each individual file from a 
given album at several times normal speed and place a cue point at its end. 
Then I do the same with each subsequent file until finished. Finally I have 
GoldWave split the files. Then I move to Dc7 for more concentrated editing. 
Just my preference. Everybody has their favorite way.

 John, one thing you're dealing with when it comes to DC7 support staff is
 that they don't know a lot about screen reader specific issues. Part of
 the
 problem there is that they just haven't had a lot of blind users offering
 them feedback. On the plus side, I've found them to be very proactive 
 when
 it comes to their willingness to support their product, whether the issue
 is
 accessibility or something else. To me, that is an important aspect when
 it
 comes to whether or not I purchase a product. DC7 allows you to play with
 every aspect of the program for ten days before buying it. They also 
 offer
 phone and email support even for demos. For me, that counts for 
 something.
 It may not be the only audio editing program you will ever need. But for
 my
 money, I would submit that there is no such thing. I use each program's
 strengths to accomplish what I need to accomplish. And at present, with
 all
 due respect to Sound Forge users, it is the program that I use the least.
 It
 is also the program that, for me, has generated the fewest ansers when it
 comes to how to questions which I have posted where and when
 appropriate.
 I make these observations with the full knowledge that other folks use
 Sound
 Forge exclusivey. I'm just sharing the oppinion that for me, and this is
 only for me, DC7 and Goldwave make the best possible combination that 
 I've
 found.

 very much, but they work well with Window-eyes. Have you tried the DC7
 demo?
 It is a fully functional demo which works for 10 days before you're
 required
 to either give it up or open your wallet.

 An important note, DC7 offers more functionality and from an
 accessibility
 standpoint it works the same as DC6. I would suggest downloading it and

 Hello list members,
 I went to:

 and I was looking at 2 different types of software for audio editing

 They are called DC-6 and DC7.
 I called them and asked them if any of their software was Jaws user
 friendly.
 When the guy I spoke too said something to me about graphics, I 
 thought
 to
 myself, Jaw scripts will be needed in order for me to use this
 software.
 He did say however, that blind people have used the plug ins without
 any

 But my real question is, can Jaw scripts be written for both DC-6 and
 DC-7?
 Thanks in advance.

 Either one can give you the sound of vacuum tube equipment on your

 Zooming in as far as possible, (Shift+UpArrow) , should do the trick.  You
 can then move through the area of interest while the clip is playing using
 the left and right cursor keys.

 You can also use the J, K, and l keys to move backward and forward through
 the clip.  Using the shift with the J or L keys will adjust the speed of 
 the
 transport.

 If you have Skype and you would like to discuss this further, I would be

Hi Curtis. Sure, I can help you out.  DC7 is an audio editor. It is 
dedicated to restoring digitizing and burning CDs of materialed that 
originated on vinyl, cassette, 78s of all descriptions and open reel tape. 
Its tape hiss removal is excellent and I think it has a lot of other 
fantastic features, default settings which can be employed to make dramatic 
differences when applied to a file. Again, the down side is that neither 
Gordon nor I have been able to isolate a specific file segment. That being 
said, their support team will generally get back to you within 24 hours. As 
Gordon and I have mentioned, not a lot of blind people have worked with them 
on concerns that they have with the program. However, they are willing to 
work with us and happy to discuss issues and concerns. I think that if more 
of us discussed our concerns with them, they would be willing to make 
changes.

You can download a fully functional demo which will remain completely active 
for 10 days with no restrictions at the following address.

Hope this gets you started.

I like your workarounds and your suggested changes. Perhaps if both of us 
present them, the ideas might carry more weight. Worth a try anyway.

Have you tried the cassette hiss filters. The impulse filters are also 
excellent for getting rid of pops and clicks.

I've heard a lot about audition 1.5 and I'd love to work with it, but I 
haven't been able to get my hands on a copy. Maybe one day.

 Larry
 I'm sure you'll know about the automatic scratch hiss and hum removal 
 preset
 in DC6 and 7. It actually can be pretty good at adjusting to various
 problems over a large file. The noise reduction presets are also 
 excellent -
 there's usually something which works. The compression and expansion along
 with the general exciter presets are varied and excellent. Version 7 
 claims
 to get rid of the many sound artifacts which can occur. I also have their
 audio mentor which interfaces with the main program linking and using 
 noise
 reduction and exciter presets effectively. I've to use the jaws cursor 
 here
 but it's good.

 The couple of problems we have in not having a fully accessible program 
 are
 as follows:
 1. The file navigation and selection tools need linking into standard
 Windows keypresses, as in Audition and Gold Wave. At present if I'm really
 stuck I'll take a noise sample from the file in Audition - just a second 
 or
 two - then analyse it in DC7, make a preset, then apply it to the whole
 file. Similarly if I'm really stuck I'll break the whole file into time
 sections which I take careful note of and after performing cleaning in DC7 
 I
 then rebuild the file so as not to be one frame out.
 2. The other place I would like access to is the multitab editor where you
 can chain a variety of effects so that they are all applied at once rather
 than just one at a time. You can then put together your favourites and 
 make
 a thorough and quicker difference.

 3. The preset boxes are pretty good but it would be good to have the 'fine
 tuning' sliders more easy to work. At present they will work with the Jaws
 cursor but it would be good to make adjustments by tabbing to the 
 particular
 area and making changes which you can hear instantly. To get round this 
 I'll
 place the Jaws cursor in the preset combo box, tab to the preview button,
 once it has started use the jaws cursor to go down the list of presets, 
 thus
 hearing each effect on the file in turn. It does work with not too much
 problem. As you say it's a wonderfully comprehensive sound editing package
 and so worth all this trouble.

 Have you tried Audition 1.5 (old now but effective) I can use this to home
 in on clicks and zap them.
 Regards.

Re: Other Audio Editors And Jaws Scripts

2008-03-06 Thread Larry N
Hi John. Have you downloaded the demo? I haven't used DC 6 or 7 with Jaws 
very much, but they work well with Window-eyes. Have you tried the DC7 demo? 
It is a fully functional demo which works for 10 days before you're required 
to either give it up or open your wallet.

An important note, DC7 offers more funcionality and from an accessibility 
standpoint it works the same as DC6. I would suggest downloading it and just 
see what you can do with it.

Subject: Other Audio Editors And Jaws Scripts


 Hello list members,
 I went to:
 http://www.tracertek.com/index.asp
 and I was looking at 2 different types of software for audio editing and 
 restoring.
 They are called DC-6 and DC7.
 I called them and asked them if any of their software was Jaws user 
 friendly.
 When the guy I spoke too said something to me about graphics, I thought to 
 myself, Jaw scripts will be needed in order for me to use this software.
 He did say however, that blind people have used the plug ins without any 
 problems, but the rest of it had problems.
 But my real question is, can Jaw scripts be written for both DC-6 and 
 DC-7?
 Thanks in advance.
  John.
 PS. DC-7 according to the website, just came out.
 Either one can give you the sound of vacuum tube equipment on your 
 computer.
 Sorry Mack owners/users, this software is strictly for PC's.
 That's my only disappointment about it because I'm getting a Mack system 
 later on down the road.

Re: Goldwave Audio Editor

2008-03-04 Thread Larry N
Hi Gary. Well of course I'm limited with wave forms. I think that's a 
problem with all such software. However, you do have built-in choices for 
the kind of noise that you want to reduce, and presets which allow you to 
work with the sound with what is quite honestly trial and error. However, 
the original sound is always saved, so you can mess around a bit without 
worrying. The kind of noise that I work with is surface noise from 78s, 
often with homemade recordings from back when people owned machines that 
recorded on 78s. I know the presets that I need for such recordings and 
apply them. When it comes to reducing cassette hiss, there are 4 different 
presets ranging from light to heavy handed and including everything in 
between which are clearly spoken and work extremely well with speech. You 
can also adjust those settings with your own variations and save them, much 
as you can in GoldWave.

I also use Dc6 a lot for recording. It's quick and simple to set up. And if 
you screw up the recoring somehow and want to start over, you just hit altF4 
and the program prompts you with speech, asking if you want to delete the 
current recording. As I said, fast, easy and painless. For recording ease 
alone the app is worth it to me.

Now, as a Sound Forge user, can you tell me how to go about reducing vinyl 
pops clicks and other anomalies using Sound Forge? It's probably me, but I'm 
not getting it. All i see is a choice that calls itself audio restoration 
and offers 2 different choices for restoring.

By the way, I have Window-eyes 6.1 and Jaws 8. Would scripts help? If so, 
where do I get them and what in the world do I do with them once I have 
them?

I've only ever really seriously used noise reduction plug-ins to
remove hiss or constant noise through capturing a noise print, all
I've tried thus far (and these include the offerings from Sound Forge,
Total Recorder and Amadeus Pro) have done an excellent job at this task.
When it comes to more difficult noise removal? Well (and again this is
my experience) I've found I get better results when I got a sighted
friend to pencil in the various noises and remove them manually.

Re: sound editing?

2008-03-01 Thread Larry N
Hi Billy. Interesting question. I have 4 sound editors onboard. There's 
GoldWave, Sound Forge 8, DC 6 and WavePad. If you are asking about simple 
ease of use, accessibility and a manual that is easy to understand and set 
up in a way that can be accessed quickly, then GoldWave wins hands down. 
However, there are tasks that DC6 performs better than any piece of software 
that I've ever used. For instance, it has excellent hiss reduction and 
comprehensive noise reduction. The down side is that its manual is difficult 
to use with speech.

And Sound Forge? I truly feel that I get less out of it than I probably 
should, simply due to a lack of understanding. For instance, Sound Forge 
works with editable files which are made into and edited from what the 
program calls regions. What is a region? I'm not exactly sure, nor am I 
certain how to go about creating one or editing the thing with keyboard 
alone. Perhaps it is my own inability to understand, but none of the Sound 
Forge faithful have been able to show me why this program is worth its hefty 
price tag. I would still love to know how to take a recorded file, such as 
that generated by a vinyl LP and edit out pops clicks and extraneous noise, 
then burn it onto a CD using Sound Forge only. Others in this group can do 
so, however I have not succeeded as yet.

Meanwhile, with the exception of actually burning the CD, I can edit a 
project from start to finish using either GoldWave or DC6,

To be entirely fair, I can perform some tasks more quickly while using Sound 
Forge. It's equalizer is superior. Its general audio restoration feature 
works quickly and for the most part reliably when applied to an entire file. 
But I don't find the manual easy to use, so I'm sure I'm not getting the 
most from the program.

As for WavePad, that hasn't been discussed much here. I own a copy, but to 
be honest, I haven't played with it a great deal as yet.

Others will have their own ideas, but if I were buying my first audio editor 
which could take me far beyond the beginner stage, I would choose GoldWave.

Hope this helps you in some small way.

 Gold Wave's manual is very well-written, and the author has bent over
 backwards over the past year to add more accessibility features. He even
 added scrubbing, a feature whose usefulness I'll never appreciate but
 which seems to be deeply engrained in the hearts of many as
 un-live-withoutable.

Re: Yahoo's Music Unlimited Being Discontinued

2008-02-23 Thread Larry N
Yes it has stations and their quality is quite good. The limitation there is 
that they claim to be jaws compliant which they are, but the stations 
don't work with Window-Eyes. I have both, so I've been able to confirm the 
accuracy of that claim. I'd be interested to hear if any Window-Eyes users 
have been able to make the stations work as that is the screen reader that I 
prefer to use when possible and practical.

You can also play many of the tracks on the service, and download them for 
use for as long as you subscribe.

The only down side is that some tracks, too many in my view, are only 
available for purchase. It seems to me that if you are paying $10 a month, 
you should be able to download all tracks on the service for use as long as 
you are a subscriber without paying extra to purchase them if that is your 
choice. My own trial period is nearing its end, and if I don't continue as a 
subscriber, that one down side will be the reason why.

Hope this helps you.

 Marsha, Napster is cheaper, quite accessible and incidentally does not
 exclude those of us who live in Canada, the way that so many American
 services do. I know that in Canada you can try the service for a week 
 before
 your credit card is charged. In the States there are promo codes out there
 which allow a 2 week trial.

 Hope this helps.

Re: Nero

2008-02-23 Thread Larry N
Bruce, it's interesting that you say what you said about Easy CD-DA 
Extractor. I'm not a huge Nero fan and have been looking at Easy CD as an 
alternative. This leads to 2 questions.

First, is it possible to set diffent pause lengths between individual tracks 
on one Cd. For instance, 2 seconds between tracks 2 and 3, 1 second between 
4 and 5 and 0 seconds between 7 and 8. If so, how is this accomplished?

Secondly, I've heard that in Easy CD version 11, the F8 key no longer works 
as a burn CD or rip command. Is this true, and if so, what's the workaround?

Thanks for any and all responses.

  These may sound like beginner questions but my only recent downloading

  also has a ton of gaps when it comes to many major artists. So I'm

We have a bunch of digital music cable channels that pose that problem for 
me. Title and artist are printed on the screen, but my wife shouldn't have 
to be my DJ every time I want to know what song is playing.

Most of the XM stations that I've listened to will at least back announce 
after every 4 or 5 songs, and the decade channeles have jocks that talk even 
more. Plus XM play lists are much much larger than those offered by 
commercial stations. I thought the antenna might have a problem working 
inside, but the signal strength  is at its highest possible level with the 
antenna sitting against our living room window.

Re: HD radio

2008-01-12 Thread Larry N
Adrian, in Internet Explorer, to add a station's direct audio link to 
favorites, do the following.
1. Right click the link to the station's audio feed.
2. arrow down to the choice that says add to favorites and press enter.
3.  Follow the usual process for placing the new favorite in any folder that 
you like.

What I do then is to right click the favorite, send the link to my desktop 
and place it in a folder which is devoted to the stations that I like. Then 
when I want to listen to one, I don't even need to open the browser.

If the station has an embedded player and won't let me add the listen link 
to my favorites or to my desktop, I can at least ad a shortcut for the 
listen page to my desktop folder, again, avoiding the need to open the 
browser.

 I wouldn't waist my money on HD radio at this time, as HD radio is still 
 in
 the experimental stages of its development. There are still a number of
 technical issues that have to be ironed out. In Canada, for an example HD
 licences for broadcasters are issued conditionally on an experimental 
 basis
 only. If I had my druthers I would purchase a satellite radio before going
 HD. When was the last time that you heard an ad on television saying that
 the latest model of a given car comes complete with an HD radio? We all 
 know
 what happened to am stereo,it appeared to be a good idea at the time,
 however the manufacturers of radio receivers failed to come through with 
 the
 goods, and the system failed. Another example was the Sony beta system, as
 the public showed favour towards the VHS cassette. Now we are faced with
 another dilemma, blue ray up against yet another competitive format. I 
 have
 had a satelite radio for almost two years now, and frankly would not 
 switch
 back. Some times it is best to sit on the sidelines for awhile until such
 time that all of the technical bugs of a given system are ironed out.

Here in Canada we don't have HD, but I've listened to a lot of it online. 
With a couple of exceptions, it's pretty much all music, no commercials and 
no jocks. Play lists are, in many cases expanded and formats are not quite 
as restrictive and unimaginative as most commercial stations.

I wouldn't be surprised if you find that XM is the superior product. I got 
and XM radio for Christmas and I love it. Still, if I lived somewhere that 
offered a decent number of Hd choices, I'd give it a try.

Problem with audio muting at random

2007-12-04 Thread Larry N
Hi. I have a problem with my sound card muting all audio, seemingly at 
random. Everything looks normal on the computer but there is no sound. And 
if I open up Sounds and Audio devices, everything shows as muted.

This problem can happen once and then not happen again for 3 months or it 
can happen 2 days in a row while I'm in the middle of work. So far, there's 
no rhyme or reason for this anomaly.

My question then? Aside from trusting Windows to maintain a given audio 
setting, might there be software that forces audio to assume certain 
settings upon rebooting? Failing that, could I somehowe save a given audio 
configuration to the desktop, one thatI could locate and press to force my 
audio settings to take effect? This is an extremely random problem, so I 
would like a method of countering it while I try to figure out what's 
causing it.

Thanks for any ideas.

Larry

Winamp Remote

2007-11-21 Thread Larry N
Hi there. After having some problems with Winamp 5.35, I finally downloaded 
Winamp 5.5. Now, every time I boot the computer, something called Winamp 
remote wants to be loaded. Could someone please let me know how I can stop 
thiss from happening? This is a backup machine without a lot of space, which 
is primarily used to stream XM without the need to buy a second receiver. If 
it weren't for that feature, I think that I would seek another player. The 
new Winamp may be a fine choice for the majority of folks and that's great, 
but let's just say that I'm not personally pleased with the player's recent 
direction. Any suggestions for neutralizing Winamp remote?

Re: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related

2007-11-06 Thread Larry N
Hi Beth. I have most of the popular sound editors onboard and when it comes 
to splitting files, I would recommend GoldWave. In my own work, I use it for 
that purpose every day. Not only is it easy to split files, but the cost is 
only around $50, which should make it easier to sell your employer on the 
purchase. The entire program is very easy to use with a screen reader and, 
as has been noted here, scripts are available for Jaws users. It will 
definitely do what you need it to do quickly and efficiently.

Related



 Hello everyone,

 Please be forewarned, I'm a pc tech by training but I'm not an audio 
 expert,
 so please be gentle with me because I'm in dire need of your expert
 assistance.smile

 I am supposed to start a job this week where I need to record and then
 listen to tech support calls from agents taking live calls for an internet
 provider.  My job is to split these calls into separate files and save 
 them.
 My boss is doing this visually by looking at the wave forms.  I'm familiar
 with the concept of wave forms, and I can read the negative, 0 numbers, 
 and
 the positive numbers with the JAWS cursor.  Unfortunately, using Cool Edit
 and JAWS 8.0, the software they are using, I can't seem to tell where one
 call begins and where the that call ends and then where the next call
 begins.  I'm supposed to record the calls, separate them, save each one 
 into
 a separate file, rate it in terms of quality, and send my feedback to the
 powers that be.

Because I couldn't find the Cool Edit scripts, I downloaded Gold wave
 5.22 and the new JAWS scripts.  Gold wave looks more promising, I read the
 manual and it appears that I should be able to do what I need to do, but 
 it
 is confusing because when I receive my file of calls, I don't know ahead 
 of
 time how long the calls are and where the silences are so that I can save
 each call as a different file.

Thanks for your patience, folks.  My questions are these:  Can I do 
 this
 with Cool Edit, that is what my colleagues are using?  Or should I use
 something else like Gold wave, Audacity, or Sound Forge?  There are other
 people with disabilities at the job site, but I'm the only blind person. 
 I
 will try to use what works best if it isn't Cool Edit, but I'll have to
 convince my boss that this would better.

 If you'd rather not clutter up the list, please feel free to email me
 privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thank you in advance for any help or
 suggestions!

 it
 stops playing and tells me so and asks if i want to submit a new entry. i
 don't mind if this for the first track, but it does it for each

 track and it's bugging me. how can i stop winamp doing this? i want it to

 I don't know if that'll do any good because when it pops up for a lot

Re: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?

Hi Bob and thanks for the response. The truth is, I know next to nothing 
about sattelite receivers. I did phone XM, and was told they had no 
receivers with raised buttons. Probably not true, but I didn't appreciate 
the brush off.

Now then, after reading your post, I have 2 questions. First, what is the 
name or number of the sirius model that you're using? Second, when you say 
that I would need to purchase the boombox that this unit would clip in to, 
are you talking about a standard stereo system or something else related to 
sattelite technonogy. Please forgive these very basic questions, but my only 
sattelite listening experience is through XM on Winamp.

Thanks in advance.

 Larry,
 I don't think that you are going to find a satellite receiver with speech
 output. The particular unit that I have is pretty straight forward, and 
 the
 buttons are raised and are in a straight row at the bottom of the unit. 
 They
 appear as little dots that are easy to feel. There are long bar type 
 buttons
 on the front panel off to the left that perform other functions, and on 
 the
 boombox itself there is a cluster of raised buttons; volume up, volume 
 down,
 off, and mute. When you change channels you hear a little beep that tells
 you that you are indeed changing channels. The Source has this particular
 unit on sale for I believe to be $129. This of course, does not include 
 the
 boombox that the unit clips into. This is a good unit for people with low
 vision, as the faunt on the display window can be changed. Ideally it 
 would
 be nice to have a unit that would tell you verbally what song is playing. 
 I
 am wondering if a speech device could be hooked up to the unit to read out
 the information on the display window. I think that it is dooable. This
 would be similar to the device that reads out the frequencies on ham radio
 equipment.

Hi Tim. I agree. Excessible is a term that I use primarily within the 
confines of this group. After all, how is a sighted person supposed to know 
what that means to me. And even within this group it's almost a cliche. That 
being said, excessible to me means raised buttons for changing channels and 
all. Speech would be nice, but I didn't think it existed. When I asked XM 
Canada customer care whether or not they had raised buttons on their 
receivers, the person who responded said that they had no such receivers and 
thanked me for my interest.. I had hoped and still hope to find out which 
service offered the most functionality for me as a blind guy and then take 
it from there, learning which service offered more of what I want to hear.

 They may not know what you mean by accessible, just like I don't.  If
 you mean can you turn them on and change stations, I don't know of an
 XM receiver you can't do that to.  If you mean one that will speak
 everthing then you won't find one in either company.  If you mean one
 that will partially speak then XM has them.  They are usually some of
 the replay models.  I can't remember what they are, but I have seen
 one.  I'm still using my old PCR.

 With Winamp, people believe they've uninstalled it when they haven't.  it
 leaves folders with plug-ins and other data in them.  Open program files

I agree. Cassette to Cd is quite Viable. I've transferred many of my own and 
for customers with good results. If the cassette is in good shape, there's 
no reason why it can't be transferred to a good CD. I would especially 
recommend such a transfer if the cassette is one that you like to listen to 
frequently.

 Hello list members,
 I don't know very much about this device yet, but there is a cassette 
 tape
 deck that goes right in to the case of your PC or MACK.
 It allows you to record your cassettes right to your hard drive.
 And if you want to, you can burn the files to CD right from the cassette
 deck.
 I am trying to locate a store that I can buy one of these just to try it
 out
 just to see how well it works.

Yes, you can plug the cassette deck directly into your computer. The reason 
that I prefer a receiver is that it allows me to patch in multiple sources, 
such as a turntable, another deck or even a tuner. I also like using a mixer 
as it lets me tweek the audio and to some degree the volume, directly from 
the mixer before I start recording.

Excessive volume from your recording source can also fry your sound card. 
But if you start with the volume turned low and adjust it upward in small 
increments, you should be ok.

2007-10-10 Thread Larry N
That would be a good thing to check when setting up any recording system, 
yes. I've never run into the problem with any of my setups,, but I can see 
how it could  very easily be a factor.

In this case, my understanding of Gail's original question is that she is 
transferring cassettes only. In that case, she probably should just patch 
the cassette deck directly into her PC.No reason to add unnecessary 
elements.

Re: How to best or easiest way to Record Audio Cassettes to the PC?

2007-10-09 Thread Larry N
Hi Gail and welcome to the group. You will first need to connect a receiver 
to your computer and then connect your cassette deck to your receiver. If 
you need help in doing that, there are plenty of people here who can guide 
you through it. As for transferring your cassettes to the computer and 
editing them, I agree with Walter. GoldWave is your best and most economical 
choice. It also boasts excellent documentation. There are lots of GoldWave 
users on this list who can help you with any problems. Finally, for burning, 
Easy CD-DA Extractor would be worth considering. You could download the 
fully functional trial version and see what you think. Again, lots of users 
of that program on this list. You might also want to think about downloading 
Express Burn. It's also a good CD burner and works very well with Jaws.

There are more expensive sound editors and burners out there, but for cost 
and ease of use, those would be my suggestions.

That should get you started with some things to try out. -

Hope this helps.

Larry

Michael, or anyone else who is experienced with Easy CD DA and cares to take 
a shot at my questions.

1. Easy CD claims to do text writing. How does one go about that in this 
program.

2. Let's say that I have an album where I want varying pause lengths between 
tracks. Maybe between tracks 1 and 2, I want the customary 2 seconds. But 
let's say that between tracks 4 and 5, I want no pause at all, and between 7 
and 8 I want 1 second. Can I accomplish that with Easy CD DA?

Thanks for any answers you might offer. I want to continue upgrading with 
technology, but Nero's price tag has me looking around for possible 
alternatives.

 Hi Dane and all,
 I have used easy cd da extractor for years.  Yes, it has come a long
 way.  I am not sure about the drive offset, but I do know you can
 configure the encoding formats.  At the bottom left of the window there
 is a configure button, which when clicked will take you to another
 window where you can choose the bit rate  then on the same window, there
 is a edit button which will allow costumazation.  i use highest quality
 and auto to choose the mode.  there are alot of other settings also
 available on the edit page.  Hope this helps some.

 Hi folks!
 Ok, I registered Easy CD DA Extractor today and I've been playing
 with it for much of the day so thought it time I offered some
 comparisons with the ripping software I've been using which has been
 EAC (Exact Audio Copy) and Max (on the Mac and my LINUX system).
 First and foremost, there is no doubt whatever that Easy CD DA
 Extractor has come one hell of a long and mighty way since I last
 tried it some years ago however it still falls short in several areas
 if accuracy in ripping from CD'S is what you're after and considering
 that Exact Audio Copy and Max are freeware applications and Easy CD
 DA Extractor isn't then this in my view is some cause for concern.
 Where the accuracy shortfall occurs is in the fact (it seems) that
 you cannot set the read and write offsets for your drive, that's very
 important for CD Ripping and CD burning, now please someone correct
 me if I'm wrong, I'd in fact relish being wrong because I cannot
 believe that such a good product as Easy CD DA Extractor wouldn't
 have this feature. So with that shortcoming out of the way I looked
 at the various file formats on offer for output.
 Yep, no doubt again, quite a range but unless I'm not looking
 thoroughly enough the formats it seems to me aren't customisable. For
 example let's take MP3 layer 3, all you get when selecting the
 options are 128K, 256K, 9 levels of VBR etc and that's it. Again,
 unless I'm missing something then this is a very poor show. So you
 pick 128K for example, what quality mode is used here for the
 encoder? Is it stereo, mono or joint stereo the encoder will be
 encoding in? What sample rate is going to be used? All this
 information seems to be determined for you and (whilst most will be
 content to leave things at that) I'm not because I find optimizing
 your MP3 encoder for various situations can save you a whole heap of
 space and a whole heap of trouble whilst not compremising on good
 audio quality. Further to this when you select one of the VBR modes
 offered, which VBR method will the encoder use, the old or the
 new method? The new method is indeed faster but the old method
 (whilst slower) is of a far better quality and there are other VBR
 settings which should be available which don't seem to be, 2 quality
 settings for example whereas Easy CD DA Extractor only allows the
 access to one.
 Now to the Format Conversion section, again very nicely laid out
 but one annoyance here and perhaps this will be fixed in later
 versions. One would think for instance that if you had say a Wave and
 Cue pair of files (as generated by many rippers including EAC, Max
 Ripper and even Easy CD DA Extractor itself), you should therefore be
 able to open the cue file which would therefore in tern open the
 associated Wave file and you should be able to convert the content to
 MP3 tracks or whatever, not so it seems which is a crying shame.
 So there you have it, some of my thoughts on Easy CD DA Extractor but
 its still worth supporting at $49.00.

2007-09-30 Thread Larry N
Hi, actually it's my understanding that they don't have a trial version 
available as yet. If you want to purchase the program at the reduced price, 
you would be doing so in advance of release, and with no demo to try before 
you buy. That's why I would hesitate. There's no guarantee that I would be 
able to use the program once purchased. Probably, but not definitely. I've 
been burned often enough to hesitate, ya know?

Re: Audiotapes onto CDs

2007-09-29 Thread Larry N
I would have to respectfully disagree with the oppinion that one can't edit 
with DC6. . I use DC6 for editing on a daily
basis. Perhaps it could be said that certain aspects of DC6 are 
innaccessible or less accessible than other editors, but I honestly have not 
run into anything except for a bit of a learning curve for certain editing 
issues. The
menus are quite accessible, and all filters can be tried without fear, 
because all of them have a clearly spoken preview mode that lets you listen 
to the change in question while changing nothing in the actual file until 
you apply the alteration.

Many on this list prefer Sound Forge or Goldwave, both excellent choices 
which I
also use daily. I'm only offering an oppinion that DC6 is also a viable 
consideration for the mix

Speaking as someone who uses several different editors professionally, I 
would advise that anyone intrested might be best served by trying demos of 
all the major editors. Then choose the one that fits your needs, comfort 
level and budget. That's why demos are out there. In the end, what works for 
you is the best choice.

Peace,

Larry

Hi larry,

I don't have nero 7 so I really can't be sure that this will work for you.
however, In nero ultra 6 the nero explorer worked almost like the windows

the one's that you want to burn and copy them to the clipboard.  then,

Samuel, if you don't mind spending a bit more, DC6 offers 4 levels of 
dedicated hiss removal and always lets you preview the results before you 
save them. Even after you save your results, you still have the original 
file and can go back to it if you change your mind. You can also create your

Re: Nero 7 Question

2007-09-27 Thread Larry N
Tony, the interesting... oK frustrating thing about Nero 7 is that it will 
not let you out of its little browser when you want to choose an alternative 
method of finding files. For instance, let's say you have files that you 
want to gather together from several folders. With Nero 6, you could do that 
easily. What I've found with 7, is that I had to create an audio  folder and 
ask my wife to set Nero to land in that folder when choosing audio. That 
should work, as it has been my experience that Nero 7 doesn't want to 
migrate from folder to folder using the keyboard. On the plus side, it will 
let you work with files within the folder as before.

I don't think I'll be buying Nero 8 unless it's a lot more excessible than 
7.

   You will need a good noise reduction system.  I think I remember

 one

 Emusic.com has just started offering audio books in the .mp3 format.
 They pretty much duplicate some of the Audible.com offerings, but they
 are not tied to any proprietary scheme.  They run around $10 per book
 with a few being $20.  You purchase a monthly subscription.
 
 In this case, you should be able to use any burning program that works
 with your screen reader.

Nero 7 Question

2007-09-26 Thread Larry N
No answer on my last Nero question, so let's try it another way. Since I 
can't figure out how to get Nero to build CDs through Windows Explorer, I've 
dedicated a folder where I dump songs for CD burning for use with Nero's 
file browser. The interesting thing in Nero is that while I can't scroll 
down through the  various folders that contain music, I can scroll through 
each individual folder and read all info concerning each song. So I'm 
wondering if maybe I'm doing something wrong. I have both Window-Eyes and 
Jaws, so I can work around this problem with either screen reader. Any 
suggestions? Or is Nero just a bit less accessible than it was with version 
six?

Thanks,
Larry

Ultra weird GoldWave problem

2007-09-19 Thread Larry N
I've been using GoldWave for a long while and am now using version 5.19. 
This is happening on 2 computers, so it's either me or GoldWave, not the 
hardware.

In my work, one of the things I do is to divide vinyl albums into separate 
tracks after transferring them to the computer. Once divided, I trim the 
silence off the beginning and then go to the end and trim silence from that 
end of the file. If the song is say... 3 minutes long, I now have a 3 minute 
file. Quite naturally, I then hit save. Once doing that, in about a quarter 
of my files, I then have a file that is 59 seconds long. Not 58, not a 
minute, but almost always 59 seconds. Any Goldwave experts care to take a 
shot at that one?

 Does anyone know if its possible to use sound forge to find gaps in

 That is, I have many 1 hour long audio files and don't know if there are
 any
 gaps in them as I recorded these streams off of the internet. Rather than
 listening to the files in their entirety, I would like to quickly find my
 way to any part of the file that has a piece of silence caused by an 
 audio
 gap. If this feature does in fact exist within Sound Forge, please let me
 know what its called and I'll research it from there.

 big thanks,

Re: Audio on Windows Vista

2007-07-29 Thread Larry N
Hi Edwin. As far as I know, Sound Forge 8.0 cannot be installed on Vista. 
You would have to upgrade to Sound Forge 9.0 to use the program on Vista.

One of my Vista concerns is that it will not run some programs that were 
designed for XP. So, yes you do indeed have advantages with new Vista audio 
alternatives, but you may also find that a necessary element of the upgrade 
is to upgrade software as well. And in some cases, there could be software 
packages that the developer has abandoned.

While these audio aspects are no reason to reject Vista, it seems to me that 
they must be considered when deciding whether or not to upgrade to Vista.

Just my two cents for whatever it's worth.

Subject: Audio on Windows Vista


 Hi All,

 I recently tried playing with Windows Vista and thought of asking some 
 audio
 related questions as I am still in the midst of exploring. I got to say
 that, if vista matures a little further as time progresses, its worthwhile
 the upgrade just for the audio part. 1 very big bonus is that we could now
 control indivisual volume controls through the mixer. For example, if we 
 are
 listening to real player streams, on xp systems, when u tune down the
 volume, it utilise  the wav volume and this would affect our screen 
 readers
 too. However, on vista, u could indivisually set the current active
 application's volume level. In this case, u could have different levels 
 for
 your screen reader and real player. This is especially benificial for jaws
 as eloquence of jaws on xp system uses the main level of the volume 
 control
 of your soundcard. But, I am just a bit puzzled. If such a powerful volume
 mixer exists in vista, why there isn't a volume control icon on the 
 startup
 group like in xp? I know 1 could just go to control panel and go in to the
 sounds item to select our sources and go in to the properties page to set
 them, however, i find slightly of a hassel to do that. Of-course I could
 just create a shortcut of the sndvol32.exe at the start menu. Any intake
 from listers on this?

 Next, though not completely audio related, but someword related. I tried
 installing Sound Forge 8.0D in vista. I got a msg that SF needs .frame
 network 1.1. I tried installing but got some error message and my .dot 
 frame
 network couldn't be installed. Does listers know why is this so and is 
 there
 a work around?

 Finally, its regarding vista's windows media centre. I understand that we
 could setup our tv-tuner card to work with WMC and use it to set schedules
 and recordings etc and just use it without installing any related pvr
 softwares, as in xp. Currently, I have a cable set top box attached to my
 card. When I tried configuring it and told it that my card is attached to 
 a
 external set top box, it told me that I need a microsoft remote control or
 something of that sort. I am a bit puzzled on this. How exactly does this
 work? Is WMC any accessible at all? Have I done anything wrong?

 Thanks all and hope to get any relevant input from listers who have
 experience with vista  and its audio. Thanks.

 Regards,
 Edwin.

Bruce, on one of our home systems I tried the links that read

We used to have a Linksys router and it gave us the same problem that you

frustrating attempts to resolve the issues, we replaced it with a Netgear

CD Architect Question

2007-06-07 Thread Larry N
Since I've started editing certain Vinyl and cassette to CD transfer 
projects in Sound Forge 8, I've learned that Nero 6.6 will not burn projects 
touched by SF. It consistently reports that I have a CDR in my drive, and 
that I need a CDR-RW instead. This is not true, as I have Nero set to Audio 
CD. Furthermore, Nero does not display the same anomaly when I burn a disk 
that was edited with DC6, Goldwave, or WavePad. So far, CD Architect seems 
to be the only burning program that will touch a Sound Forge edited project. 
My problem is that some of my customers want no gaps between tracks. In 
Nero, removing the 2 second gap between tracks is a simple matter. How can I 
accomplish the same thing when using CD Architect?

As always, thanks for any suggestions you might be able to offer.

Hi there. Yes in Nero there's no problen removing the 2 second gap. just do 
the following.
1. Place focus on a track which you want preceeded by something other than 
the default 2 second pause.
2. press alt+enter. At this point your screen reader should indicate that 
you are now in an edit field.
3. Tab twice. When you do that, your screen reader should say something like 
pause 2, indicating that Nero is set to pause for 2 seconds before the 
highlighted track begins.
4. Write in the number of seconds that you would like Nero to pause before 
beginning the track in question. Note that if you want no pause, you should 
enter in 0.
5. Press enter to save your choice and repeat the process with any other 
tracks where you would like the preceeding pause to be different than the 
default 2 seconds.

Hope this helps.

Larry
