Subject: question on streaming audio with SoundForge

Hi All,

Once I could ghave an audio file or program playing via the internet and
record it in progress with soundforge via streaming.  Now I can not and
belive something got accidently changed on my end.  I would genuinely be
greatful to someone helping to make this feature return.  Here is how I have
recorded a streaming file in the past.

I am using Windows Seven professional.  

System Access in my primary screenreading software.  However, I do have
access to JAWS, Window-eyes and NVDA.

 

1.Open Soundforge.

2.  Press control plus the letter r to start the recording process.

3.  Press alt plus r to start the actual recording.

4.  Access the internet and locate the sound byte I wish to record. Then
start that sound byte playing

5.  When the audio is finished, go back to soundforge and press escape twice
to stop the recording.

6.  Edit out the unwanted material at the beginning of this recording and
save the final product.

That is how it was done up to about a week ago.

Now when trying to record from streaming audio folloing the above steps,
nothing records.

Thanks again for any help.

soundforge editing question

2014-02-23 Thread dan thompson
Hi all,
When editing a sound byte, I use to be able to do the following, and now I
can not.  I will put these steps down first and then explain more.
1.  I press the letter q to make sure cuing is on.
2.  2.  I then press the spacebar to start the sound byte playing.
3.  3.  Next, I would hold down the left shift key and arrow to the
right.  
4.  Sound forge would play the sound byte as I move to the right,
stopping when I stop arrowing.  
However, now in order to hear where my selection has stopped, I have to
listen through the whole section that has been selected.  This takes up much
more time.  I am not sure what has gotten unchecked or changed  and am
hoping someone on this list does.  

So simply put, I once could just select the sound and soundforge would just
play the selected data.  If I stopped arrowing, sound would stop
immediately.  If I moved the arrow right or left, sound would respond
immediately with the new stopping place.  I hope I explained my question.
 I would be glad to share my phone off list withsomeone if they are willing
to help out.  It is probably something I accidently checked off or on.
Thanks for reading this long email.

 The Milestone is also something I'm considering,

Psalm 42:5
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation.
 Thought: Hope in God
Disappointment. It's bound to come. When our dreams are shattered, it's only
natural to feel let down. Life doesn't always turn out the way we want it
to, but there's a key reaction in this verse, and it tells us how to respond
to disappointment: Hope in God! 
Next time you face discouragement, try this: Take all of your heartache, all
of your burden and pain, and give it to the Lord. Let him have it! Tell him
exactly how you feel. He already knows, anyway. Then, put your hope in God,
for he is trustworthy. He has the power to change your situation. He can
take your turmoil and turn it into something good. Praise him. 

You are invited to a time of praise and prayer from 5:00 to 6:00 every

Hi Loren, This is Dan from Illinois.  We have spoken before about piano

Anyway, here is some internet tv access. It might not be exactly what you
are looking for. N but it may provide a bit of viewing/listening enjoyment.
I went to this web site.

It is really neat.  At any given time they are running five different
programs with audio described, TV programs: the categories are:

Comedy, drama, brain, etc...

check it out.

I went to the link on my iPhone and it went through the web browser of
Safari.

I listened to the TV show Cold Case last night at 7PM.

It had the audio description.

 

Blind TV is a free web based service that provides audio-only television
programming, in several genres, all with audio description.  It currently
has 5 completely audio described channels, featuring dozens of shows and
thousands of episodes. There aren't any schedules, but new programs begin at
0 and 30 minutes after the hour. If you don't like what's on, just keep
changing channels until you do.

Hi again Loren,
Here is another article where you can check on described tv shows in your
area.  They are not on the computer.  However, AFB has a tool that allows
for finding what chanels on your tv will be having described movies etc.
AFB Launches Described TV Listings!
Article edited to insert step by step directions written by Dan.

In order to view discribed TV shows the “SAP “ option must be activated
under setup menus provided   This option can be toggled on/off.  Sighted
help will probably  be needed to make this change.

For further information, contact: 

Mark Richert, Esq.
Director, Public Policy, AFB
(202) 469-6833
mrich...@afb.net 

The landmark Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act
(CVAA) has begun a revolution in mainstream telecommunications and video
technology accessibility. Among its many groundbreaking achievements, the
CVAA mandates several of the most popular television networks to make some
of their prime-time and children's programs accessible to viewers with
vision loss by adding video description. To help celebrate and promote this
achievement, AFB has implemented a Described TV Listings page on our
website, an online guide where visitors can determine which shows will be
described as well as when they air.

Video description (sometimes called audio description or simply
description) makes television programs and movies accessible for people
who are blind or visually impaired. Short verbal descriptions of action or
key visual scenes in a program, such as setting, costumes, and facial
expressions, are provided to add context. The descriptions are inserted into
pauses within a program's dialog.

Since July 1, 2012, the networks required to each provide approximately four
hours of video description per week include ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, USA, the
Disney Channel, TNT, Nickelodeon, and TBS. This expanded array of choices is
a much-fought-for complement to the current rich menu of described
programming that PBS has offered for many years.

AFB's Described TV Listings initiative makes it easier to find which shows
are described, allowing people with vision loss to enjoy their favorite
shows alongside their sighted peers. AFB is deeply grateful to the Rovi
Corporation and Comcast for helping us create this valuable tool.

I would like to receive TV programming strictly through my PC internet and
connect directly from my router to my internet capable TV. Where can I learn
about this? Or, even a tutorial. I no longer want Direct or Dish or other

RE: AUDIBLE BOOKS

2013-05-06 Thread dan thompson
If you are using the new stream as in new generation, the softpack is no
longer used.  It is included.  You format the sd card in the Victor Stream
by:
1.  put the sd card in the stream.
2.  Turn on the stream.
3.  Press the number seven until hearing format card 
4.  Press the okay button.  This is on the right side of zero.

The stream does not say there is a softpack because it is in the firmware

Hi Sam,

My view might be a little subjective but from what I've tried out in the
past when I got myself Adobe Audition just to take a look at it got totally
worse than e.g. 2.1 version of Adobe Audition when you know they changed
their label from Cool Edit which was the predecessor of that one. I wasn't
confortable with that as many objects were placed without any shortcut keys
on the screen beyond the menu so OK it was possible to grab them using the
virtual mouse and crowling around but it was a real pain. It has the
standard menu from what I remember and maybe they improved some particular
things of that I can't tell but generally the older version were incredible
having most of things in menu reachable via the keyboard unlike the latest
versions. But maybe somebody knowing more of that will chime in. I say the
most blind-friendly one is Sound Forge:).

For the record I don't think it'll be better with Window Eyes as the
universal way of the layout and localizing the object is identical to all
screen readers regardless of whether it's NVDA Jaws or Window Eyes etc.

Re: winamp help please

2012-02-29 Thread dan thompson

Here is also the keys for converting files in winamp.

Converting audio files using winamp

DATE:
1.   Open up Winamp from the programs menu or the desktop.

2. now find the file that you want to convert and open it up in
Winamp, either by pressing enter on it or through the open file dialogue.
3.  Ok, now press the letter v to stop it, we don't want it to keep playing.
4.  now here's where the fun starts. go to the preferences, by pressing 
control

plus p of course.
5.  go to the plugins section and then choose output in the tree view.

6.  now tab over to the list of plugins, and focus on the one called
the Nullsoft Discwriter plugin, your version number may vary but it
all comes to the same.

7. now, it's time to configure it so that we can tell what type of
file to convert to.
so tab to the configure button.

8. now you're going to be in a dialogue with some buttons in it. the
first one will determine where your output file, that is to say your
converted file will be saved. you may hear something like,output file
location c:\doccuments and settings...my music button.
If you press that button, a dialogue will pop up and you can then
determine where your file will be saved.
9. now that you've done that, you'll be back in the dialogue, and the
next thing you'll see is a checkbox that says,output to directory
containing source files, and by default, this is unchecked.  This is
so that you can have your converted file in exactly the same folder
as the original file was.
so check that if you want the file to go there, i would do that for
simplicities sake. You can always move it later.
10. Next checkbox you'll see says, display save as dialogue for every
file.  This is so that if you're  converting an entire list of files,
you'll be able to determine where each file goes. I would imagine
that you would probably want them all to go in the same folder, but
maybe not? so check that  if you like, i normally leave it as is
because usually I'm only converting one file. This is unchecked by default.
11.  Next up, we have a combo box that determines if there are or
numbers at the beginning of your outputted file name.
 the choices you have are, disabled, 1 digit, 2 digits, 3 digits and
4 digits.
I can't imagine why anyone would actually want 4 digits, that is
unless you're converting literally thousands of files, which i've
never done and probably won't ever do.  If I'm converting something
from an album i like to at least have a number at the beginning of
the file name, 01, or 02, depending on where you are in the playlist of 
files.

 but if you want to disable this, you can.

12.  Next, we have a combo box that determines the title format, the
one by default is  % title %. this means you get the % which equals
the first 2 numbers like we mentioned before, artist name, title  and
then the track name. so i would keep that as is.

13. Next we have output file type, and the choice is set to auto
recommended. this is so you can choose different file formats. and

14.  Next down the line is a checkbox that says enable single mode.  Leave 
this unchecked.


15.  Now we're getting to the good part here, hang with me
folks!  this next checkbox will determine wether or not Winamp
actually remembers what file you convert to a lot, so if you convert
to mp3 a lot, leave this checkbox checked so you can just perform the
final few steps.
16.  Tab once again and you'll land on a button that determines what
file you can actually convert your file to.  for mine in particular,
this button says,
MPEG layer 3 192KBPS, 44.1 K Hertz, stereo
that's usually what i convert to, but if you want something
different, you can press this button and you can change the file
type, bitrate and sampling rate of your file.  Note that if you don't
have the radium codec installed, you won't be able to convert to
anything higher than 56k, 22.50 k hertz stereo.
I believe the lame encoder will fix this too, and the lame encoder
should be very easy to find if you do  a little hunting around.
17.  It's time to actually do the conversion!  So tab past that next 
checkbox,

i have no idea what the thread priority hack refers to, so just press
ok and you'll be in the preferences again. close the
preferences in the usual way.

18.  Press the letter x which will essentially play your file.  But you 
won't hear any sound.  Trust
me, you won't. that's just how this plugin works because it moves very 
quickly.

 If you want to know the status of your conversion, press the hotkey
which reads your title bar, insert t for JAWS and control shift t for
Window-eyes, or whatever one you use.  You will know your file is
converted when you hear the name of your file, followed by Winamp
stopped.  Note that while the file conversion happens, you may notice
that software speech is slower to respond, and sometimes it just
doesn't happen at all, but like I say the conversions happen very quickly.
19.  If you followed all the steps above, congratulations, you just

You can just use Stationplaylist Studio for that.  The program consists of
two packages.  Stationplaylist studio is the play out system while
Stationplaylist creator is the scheduling system.  With just studio you 
can

do play-out.  I haven't messed with the beat mixing but I think it will do
that.  I am more familiar with it in a broadcast and radio automation

Reaper is sound production software which pretty much does everything
and is accessible, you can even do multi track recording with the
software if you so desire.

I think the licence is only about $60.00 which is giving it away and
that licence can be used across platforms so you can use Mac or PC
versions.

The manual is well written though extra tutorials to deal with specific
subjects are also available and I warn you, when I talk manuals that's
exactly what I'm talking and this manual would look at home on a coffee

Reaper etc.

Re: an outlook Express question

2011-07-18 Thread dan thompson
Setting Outlook Express to display the BCC field, which stands for blind 
carbon copy, is quite simple. Follow these simple steps to have it appear.


First, Open a new message.
Second, Press Alt-V for View Menu.
Third, Up arrow to show or display all headers and press Enter to check it.

The BCC field will now appear in all your messages. Names placed in this 
field will receive a carbon copy of your message, however their addresses 
will not be displayed.

I don't know if this info found you so I will try it again.

   Clear kote makes a really good cd cleaning product
called Disk Restorer.
. I have heard of a product called CD Dr. I have used both Armerall and
tooth paste. I think cleaning a cd really good with dawn is a really good
solution. I have used the clear kote disk restorer on CDs that wouldn't 
even

boot up and it worked great restoring the Boot table of the cd.
If I fix a cd I make a coppy of the cd to back it up.
I would say that Tooth paste is the most unlikely method of cleaning a cd.
Armerall works but who knows how much dust you will trap on the cd at a
later time.
But I love the clear kote.
   If you can't find a cleaning product at your local record store Give
this product a try.
Contact Larry or Donna, Owners

Thank you Barry ,  I have been taking the selected sound, saving it into a

is saved and highlighting it.  Then if it is not the needed size, I delete

I don't know of such a hot key, but it would be useful.  One somewhat

to time stretch with alt+p followed by t.  Tab to initial time and it will 
show the length of the selection.  You can then escape

without actually doing a time stretch.

Hi, I'am a blind user, and I'am learninng how to use reaper. I produce 
radio and video spots, and in these 5 years of work I've ever used Sound 
forge, that

isn't a multitrack editor, so has some limitations for my work.
On this list I've discovered that Reaper can become very accessible by 
using Rea Access, a tird parti plug-in that talks to my screen reader and 
allows movements between
tracks, faders, triggers ecc. I've learned how to select, cut, paste, but 
I can't understand volumes. Often, for my work I have 2 or 3 tracks, one 
for
the background music and the others for voices or effects. So I need to 
put down the volume of the background music and re incrementing the same 
volume
when the voice track is finished. How I can do this with Reaper via 
keyboard commands?


I've assigned a shortcut for inserting envelope points, but then I can't 
understand what I have to do. I don't want to use automation if possible 
because
I don't have a midi controller, and automating volumes via keyboard can't 
be easy, especially if I want to create a gradual shape.


Anyone can suggest a solution?

Re: What's the easiest CD burning software?

Windows media Player will allow you to burn cd's and so will winamp.  Below 
are directions for Windows Media.  I am getting ready for work or I would 
write Winamp's directions as weel.


1.  Place a blank cd in your cdr drive.
2.  When you see/hear what do you want windows to do, press the letter o 
followed by tapping enter once.

3.  Move to where you have the files you wish to burn to this cd.
4.  Select a file you wish to place on the cd and press control plus the 
letter c.?


5.  Press alt plus tab back to the cdr drive window.
6.  press control plus the letter v.
You could select all the files in a folder and press control plus c if you 
wish.  You do not have to do them one at a time.

7.  Once all the files are in the cdr window, press alt plus the letter f.
8.  Press the letter t.
9.  Tab to next
and press enter.
10.Windows Media Player will open.  So tab to copy and press the 
spacebar.  Do not press space on copy to cd or copy to device.


11.  Tab to next: again and press enter.  When the cd is finished 
recording, the drive will open.


Have a good day.

reach the various tracks.  However, it is not that easy and one must not

Audition's sound efects.


I like soundforge for the easy cuing feature and much more.

enhanced IPhone (tactile) screen protector

2010-07-21 Thread dan thompson
Here is an article about the tactile overlay for the IPhone from Fred's Head 
of APH, april 30, 2010




Enhanced iPhone Screen Protector



Do you find your fingers dancing around the touch screen of your iPhone? 
Have you ever wondered how to make touch screen navigation a little easier 
on your Apple device?


Solona is proud to introduce a screen protector that transforms your iPhone 
touch screen into a tactile keyboard.


Whether you prefer landscape mode or portrait mode, the Solona Enhanced 
Screen Protector will function properly and provide you with a tactile map 
of the keyboard.


Each screen protector is carefully embossed with the tactile effect so that 
your touch screen navigation is fast and accurate.


Here's how it works.  Each letter key is elevated with one distinct dot. 
Each function key is elevated with two distinct dots.  That way, you can 
easily distinguish between letters and function keys.  This slight 
enhancement provides your iPhone with an additional layer of accessibility.


If you are interested in receiving an Enhanced Screen Protector, you may 
elect to send your own for us to process .  We will enhance them free of 
charge and return them to you via USPS.  The other option is to purchase a 
set of two Tactile Screen Protectors directly from Solona.


For a fixed price, Solona will provide you with two Power Support brand 
Crystal Screen Protectors for your iPhone that have been enhanced with the 
tactile keyboard effect.


iPhones are magnificent devices.  Apple is to be commended for incorporating 
native accessibility into both families of products.


Most people use screen protectors in an effort to reduce the threat of 
screen damage and to extend the life and accuracy of the touch screen 
functionality. If you are already using screen protectors, then you 
understand how they work.  Imagine your current screen protector, yet with 
elevated dots strategically positioned on each key to provide you with a 
roadmap of your iPhone keyboard.


If you have never used a screen protector for your iPhone, I recommend that 
you do some independent research.  Discover how other people use them.  Read 
about how to install them.  Get an idea for how they help extend the life of 
your iPhone touch screen.


If you would like to enhance your iPhone touch screen with an Enhanced 
Screen Protector by Solona, please visit the Solona Screen Protector Page at 
http://www.solona.net/new-solona-enhanced-iphone-screen-protector.

Hi Pamela and others,
I have been using the IPhone 3GS for a little over a year and have 
upgraded
the 3GS up to 4GS software a few weeks ago.  I am totally blind and find 
it

easy to use the touch screen.  However, it did take a few weekends of
intence practice.  Once learning where things are on the screen and most
common finger swipes, using the IPhone got easier.
I was one of those who thought it crazy for a blind person to use a touch
screen.  You can buy a 4GS with bilt in voice over for 16 gigabyte 
$199.99.
They now have two plans for the data package that is necessary for the 
voice


over.  The data packages are $15.00 or $25.00 per month.

So Pamela, now you can just walk into a cell phone store and buy a phone
with voice over like anyone else.  It did feel really nice to finally have
the same opportunite as most others shoppers in a cellphone store.

It is true you don't get much of a choice as far as size or shape in 
regards


to the Iphone but neither does anyone else.  You can however choose types
and colors of hard shell or soft cases.  Pamela, If you choose to buy a
Iphone I would be willing to help you learn how to do the basics including
dialing a number, answering, hanging up, closing applications and texting.
For that matter, I would be glad to help anyone over the phone.  If you
email me off list I can contact you via secondary phone like your home 
land

line and work with our IPhones over a speaker phone etc.  It isn't really
that bad.  but may appear such at
first.

easy to use the touch screen.  However, it did take a few weekends of 
intence practice.  Once learning where things are on the screen and most 
common finger swipes, using the IPhone got easier.
I was one of those who thought it crazy for a blind person to use a touch 
screen.  You can buy a 4GS with bilt in voice over for 16 gigabyte $199.99. 
They now have two plans for the data package that is necessary for the voice 
over.  The data packages are $15.00 or $25.00 per month.


So Pamela, now you can just walk into a cell phone store and buy a phone 
with voice over like anyone else.  It did feel really nice to finally have 
the same opportunite as most others shoppers in a cellphone store.


It is true you don't get much of a choice as far as size or shape in regards 
to the Iphone but neither does anyone else.  You can however choose types 
and colors of hard shell or soft cases.  Pamela, If you choose to buy a 
Iphone I would be willing to help you learn how to do the basics including 
dialing a number, answering, hanging up, closing applications and texting. 
For that matter, I would be glad to help anyone over the phone.  If you 
email me off list I can contact you via secondary phone like your home land 
line and work with our IPhones over a speaker phone etc.  It isn't really 
that bad.  but may appear such at
first.

it is accessable with jaws, the only thing is the edits aren't done in 
real time, you have to make them, save the file, then open it up  again.

its around $84 USD.

it has menu's but it doesn't speak when placing marks, you just have 
to put the marks in and then save the file.


This software won't record the files, you need a tv tuner to record

Subject: questions about cd ripping



Hello fellow pc-audio listers,
I have some brief questions regarding ripping audio cds.
1. On an audio tutorial I listened to, the narator stated that you should 
hold down the shift key while inserting the cd. What exactly will this 
action do?

this will prevent auto start of the cd or program on the cd.

2. Should I press and hold down the shift key after I close the cd drive 
tray? or should I hold it down as the drive tray is closing.
You should hold the left shift key after closing the tray until the cd stops 
spinning. You will hear the cd slow down.  then let go of the shift. This is 
usually around 10 to 20 seconds.


3. After doing this, will this cause the auto run feature in windows to be 
perminatly disabled? and how long should I hold down the shift key?

No
4. If I set windows media player to (always), I know that it will 
automatically begin copying the tracks from the cds I insert, however, 
even with this option set to always, do I still have to have windows media 
player running when I insert the cd?

I usually have windows media running when doing this type of operation.
That is not say that you must.

soundcard, both screenreaders have a kind of choppy sound.  I am nnot sure how 
to explain it better.  All the sound comes through but sort of choppy.  I went 
under the device manager and updated the drivers with the same result.
Does anyone have any idas how to make the speech come through smoother?

Hello list:  I know that AI can use Windows to burn something that is
already on a hard drive to a CD; what I wonder is..let's say I want to
copy one CD to another; can this be accomplished with Windows..or with
Windows Media Player?  And if so..how is this done?  I have something on
my computer called Sonic..but found it pretty much inaccessible with
Jaws..unless I just never found anyone who could show me how to do it! 
So



I have deleted the shortcut that was on my desk top; all I have now of
Sonic is the program itself..but it really doesn't lead me to where I 
need



to go to copy a CD!  Since I have no other CD burning program on here, I
got to thinking Hey..maybe it's possible to just use the Windows Media
Player: to do this..but I am sure that there are folks here on this list
who can tell me if this is doable with that program or not!  Thanks!

Subject: Internet Broadcasting Audio Tutorial to be Released


Mushroom FM is proud to announce the imminent release of the Mushroom FM 
Fun

Guys Guide to Internet Broadcasting.

Over the years I've met, or been in correspondence with, people who love 
the
idea of getting into Internet radio as a broadcaster, but who really 
don't

know where or how to get started. In the short and very successful period
Mushroom FM has been around, we've been approached by a number of people 
who

would make fantastic team members, if they could unravel the technical
mysteries of how to make Internet radio magic.

In talking about this issue with Brian Hartgen, who is Operations Manager 
at

Mushroom FM, we decided to create an audio tutorial that we could give to
people who approached us about being part of the team, but didn't know 
where
to start. And so the work began, with us dividing the work roughly in 
half

for us to complete outside of our day job time.

Now that the project is near completion, we realise that what we have
created is a resource for which there has been considerable demand for 
some

years within the blind community. So we have decided to donate this work,
and make the tutorial available for free to anyone who wants to know a 
bit
about Internet broadcasting. We hope many people will benefit from it, 
and
that if you, like us, get bitten by the Internet radio bug, you'll 
approach
Mushroom FM, the people taking voluntary Internet broadcasting to the 
next

level with our innovations, quality output, and high standards.

With over three hours of audio content, The Mushroom FM Fun Guys Guide to
Internet Broadcasting will be released soon as a DAISY audio book, able 
to
be played with software DAISY players, as well as portable devices 
capable

of DAISY playback. This will make it easy for you to listen on whatever
player suits you, while you follow along on your PC.

Topics covered include:
A detailed look at StationPlaylist Studio that shows how to set up and 
run

this software in an Internet broadcast situation. You'll learn about the
benefits of using a mixer, how to cope with requests, how to use cart
machines and more.
A look at options for getting your broadcast to the Internet, including
using facilities within StationPlaylist Studio, using free Winamp tools, 
or

the optional StationPlaylist Streamer.
Using the Sam Encoders with soon to be released JAWS scripts to optimise
your streaming experience.
A session where you hear all the tools we've discussed in action as an
actual radio show goes to air.
A brief overview of StationPlaylist Creator and how it can be used to 
make

live Internet broadcasting easier.

We'll post again when the Mushroom FM Fun Guys Guide to Internet
Broadcasting is available for free download from the Mushroom FM website 
at

http://www.MushroomFM.com blocked::http://www.mushroomfm.com/ .

You could use an external sound card instead and use the internal sound
for speech.  It would cost less  and may sound better.  One possible
disadvantage is not having hardware speech.  I can't suggest any sound
cards as I haven't had experience with USB or Firewire audio interfaces.

something has changed in Soundforge and I can't figure it out.

After pressing the letter q for cuing, I would press the spacebar, then hold 
the left shift down.  I would then arrow to the right and hear as the cursor 
skimmed across the sound.  Only the selected sound ould play.

 

Now I still can sselect sound, but I do not hear the cursor move across the 
sound while pressing the right arrow.  I must press the right a few times and 
wait until the sound reaches it's end and press a few more times which  takes 
more time and I have problems of being as detailed in editing the file.

 In graduation, the students make a 2 to three minute speech.  I then paste 
that speech over a meaningful piece of one of their favorite songs.  This 
clipis then merged into a powerpoint presentation  with photos of their life at 
school.   The clip is played as they come up on stage.

 

Anyway, I tried pressing q again and it just stops selecting and pressing it 
again, allows me to select again.  How  do I make the selection play as I move 
across it?   I hope this is not confusing of a question and I got my point 
across.  Sorry for any poor explaination.

Hi, regarding the winamp problem with c for pause and v for stop not 
working,  It sounds like to me that either you are running an older version 
of winamp on windows seven if that is what you are using or winamp needs to

Hello, I was wondering if any of you is able to guide me in the 
following
direction. I was wondering if there was some sort of accessible dj 
sorftware

that I can use with Jaws 11 and windows 7 ultimate? I'm currently using
winamp, but the issue I'm having is that when I try cuing upa file, 
there's
no option that allows me to cue up songs within winamp. When I was using 
xp
home with windows media player 10, I had that option available to me. 
Any

suggestions or ideas are very much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Best portable mike mixer out there?

Hi Doic, I totally agree. There is nothing like the tube sounds and the 
older equipment.  I have delt with sound equipment since the 60's and the 
new mixers and amps don't cut it.  However, I am empressed on improvement of 
mic pickup with the newer models.

High Sunshine,
The simulators may simulate the warmth of the vacuum tube, but it cannot 
reproduce the music the same way a vacuum tube can.

I had to prove that to a guy by the name of Bob Carver.
In 1998, he let me audition his Sun Fire Signature Series power amplifier.
Which is a transistor amplifier that was suppose to sound every little bit 
like a vacuum tube amplifier.

I listen to allot of jazz music, some of it being big band.
Here is where that Sun Fire Signature Series power amplifier failed me.
All of the horns and wood winds, didn't come through that amp like they 
did when I played those same records using my dad's Fisher 500-s stereo 
receiver.

Which has nothing but vacuum tubes in it.
Even listening to some modern R  B music, that amp really fell apart 
there too as well.
I don't mean to start a fight on this list, but most blind people can hear 
things that our sighted counter parts can't hear.
I sent that amp back to Mr. Carver with a note that said, BLOCK QUOTE 
START. tube sound?

This is really a big fat joke.
To my ears, nothing sounds like a vacuum tube but a vacuum tube, and allot 
of musicians feel that way too as well.
If that isn't the case, then why do they dump the simulators and return to 
using vacuum tubes in their amplifiers?  BLOCK QUOTE END.


Long story short, Mr. Carver didn't have any answers for those questions.
My best regards.
 John.

Do you mean you want to play the tunes on your Braille Plus?  Though
I'm not familiar with the Braille Plus, I've just googled it and I'm
99 percent sure it wouldn't work with Itunes.  Itunes, though it can
be used as a music management program and media player, is
fundamentally for communicating with Ipods/Iphones and as far as I
know it wouldn't communicate with your Braille Plus.

If your aim is to play music on your Braille Plus you would copy the
mp3 files onto it.  Or if I'm misunderstanding what you want to do
please say and I'll try and help you...

soundforge recording question for conferences

ten minutes.  The meeting was around 1.5 hours.  I didn't know this until 
checking after the mmetting was over. 
I fortunatly had a victor stream as backup.

The steps I used for recording were.
1.  Press control plus r.
2.  Press alt plus r to start recording.
3.  Press escape to stop the recording.
4.  Pressed the spacebar to listen to the recording and only 5 to ten minutes 
was there.

What is the maximum for recording with Soundforge and what did I do wrong?

Dan,

Go into the record dialog with control+r.

shift tab until you get to a  combo box called method.

It should be set to normal.

Do not set it to one of the automatic settings  because one of those  will
automatically end recording after a fixed time which, in your case, was 10
minutes.   However, it is  a useful function if you are doing something 
like

unattended recording from a cassette and you want the recording to finish
after 45 minutes.

Hope this helps

buttons.  The gain control is on the front rather than on the back.

It is a good unit which you can leave on for days and weeks  and
the frequency will remain stable.

If you buy the high gain antenna and set it up properly, it will
transmit up to 300 yards without significant degradation of signal.

   HI PERFORMANCE FM-100MWS-LCD-E

   Digital PLL FM stereo transmitter

   ONLY $345 USD



   12 Volt Power Supply

   Our New FM-100mW-LCD unit is ready to go and comes complete with
a compact rubber duckie antenna and well regulated 12 volt power
supply that works with 120 or 240 VAC sources.

   All you need to do is hook up your audio source to the RCA
inputs on the back of the unit, and you are on the air!



   This NEW 100 milliwatt FM stereo transmitter will well out
perform most of the low cost units on the market since it was
carefully designed to pass even the very lowest audio frequencies
down to 20 Hz and up to 15 KHz for the high frequencies.  Believe
me, this unit sounds just like the big stations!  Excellent base
and highs!!!
   Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you
will have a very stable signal at all times.   The frequencies can

easily

be
selected by pushing the recessed buttons using a paper clip wire.
The frequency range is 88 to 108 MHz and the channel resolution is
100KHz.  I should also mention that the stereo separation is
excellent!  We tested this unit against 4 other stereo unit that
did not even come close.
   The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure
that shields the unit.  No cheap plastic box used here!  For more
range a high gain antenna could be used and connected to the
standard BNC connector on the back of the unit.

   If you are seriously looking for a high performance Stereo
transmitter, this is definitely the one!

audition question

2010-01-06 Thread dan thompson
Hi All, Has anyone had success installing the jaws scrips for audition?  If 
so, can you please send me some detailed directions  regarding the steps.  I 
have tried it twice and now jaws doesn't like running with audition.  I may 
need to do a repair on jaws.  I delete what I think all the added scrips. 
But still when opening audition and switch to multi-track mode, jaws has an 
application error and I need to open another screenreader to locate the 
application error window  and close jaws.

Thanks for any help in advance.

adobe audition 1.5 jaws scrips problem

2010-01-04 Thread dan thompson

Hi All,
I tried installing the jaws scrips for audition 1.5 using jaws 10.
this is what I did and now have problems opening adobe audition because I 
tried switching to miulti-track mode once.


1.
copied all the files inside the jfwaudition1.0beta5.zip file to my  JFW 
settings,  enu directory .


2.  I was told that I would need to open both audition.jss and audtips.jss 
separately in JFW script


manager and press control+s to re-compile them.

I did that with the  audition.jss  file.  But I could not find the 
audtips.jss  file to recompile it.


3.  Opened audobe audition and everything worked.  Until, I tried pressing 
f12 to switch to multi-track view.  But it will work with window-eyes.  So 
it is something in the scripts.  Does anyone have some ideas or now where to 
get some scripts to fix the problem.  Now

The authors of this version of scripts are:
Authors: James Teh, Victer Tsaran and Michael Curran.



If any of these people perhaps is on the list maybe they can email me and I 
will work with them off list as not to clutter up the list.


I could uninstall all the audobe audition scrips but I think it can be 
fixed. I am just the crazy one who probably didn't follow directions 
correctly.


Any help would be great appreciated.

  You can order both CakeTalking and SONAR at Dancing Dots.
   CakeTalking costs $289 and works fine with JAWS 10.  SONAR has 2
   editions
   which they sell for the minimum advertised price.  The Producer Edition 
is

   $499 and the Studio Edition is $299.  They are both excellent but the
   Producer Edition comes with a few more soft synthe instruments including
   the Session Drummer 3, more audio effects and more options to 
customize some

   of the effects also contained in the Studio Edition.

   For $99 you  can order the Fast Track USB or, for $199, the Fast Track
   Pro.  Both of these units are high-end audio interfaces/soundcards 
that
   connect using USB.  It's important to have a separate soundcard to 
dedicate to

   recording and playing back the audio that comes with SONAR.

   Lastly, you  should make certain that your  PC at least meets the 
minimum System Requirements for SONAR.  See
   http://www.dancingdots.com/prodesc/CakeTalkingForSONAR.htm for System 
Requirements for CakeTalking and a link to the System Requirements for 
SONAR.

much more.  There is a program called jsornar I think is free but I haven't

Could I ask, which adobe audition version are you using and when you mean 
accessible, does it mean for all instances like managing multi-tracks and

Thanks.

Re: burning a cd with windows media player 11 question

2009-11-21 Thread dan thompson

Hi
there, here is how it should work.

Burning an audio cd



1. Insert a blank CDR disc into your CDRW drive.

2. A dialog window should pop up after a few seconds.  Your screenreader 
should say, CDRW (and the letter of that drive.)




You are in a list view, Press the up or down arrow until you highlight open 
rittible cd using windows explorer.  Tab to the OK button and hit enter.


You could also just press the letter o followed by enter to open the same cd 
folder.




3. Now hold down the right windows key and hit the letter E.  This will 
bring up


Windows Explorer.

You will land in the treeview on My Computer.

If the files you are looking for is located in My Documents, arrow up one 
time then


tab, and then you should be in a list of the files that are in My Documents.

If the files are not in My Documents, then tab one time, hit L for local 
drive, hit


enter.

Now you are in a list of folders contained on your C: or main drive.

Navigate to where the files you want to burn are located.

4. Now it is basically a copy and paste process.

Select the files you want to burn either one at a time or group at a time, 
and hit


Control C to copy the files.

Remember that to select files, hold down the left control key and press the 
space bar on those files you wish to select.  If you press the spacebar and 
you hear the file's name spoken followed by unselected, press the spacebar 
again and that file will be selected.  You usually only need press the 
spacebar once on each file.   Remember to not let go of the control key 
while highlighting files.  If you happen to accidently let go of the control 
key and then arrow down once to the next file, all files are unselected.






5. Now hit alt tab to go to the CDRW drive dialog.  Then hit Control V to 
paste those


files to the CDRW drive folder.

6. If you have more files to burn, use Alt Tab to switch between the two 
windows.


Do steps 4  5 until all of the files you want to burn are copied over.

NOTE: Remember the 700 MB limit per CD.

Make sure the total of all of your files does not go over that limit.

7. Now once you are done copying and ready to burn, Alt Tab until you are in 
the CDRW


Drive dialog.

8. Hit Alt F for the file menu.  Hit enter on the first choice, which should 
be,


write these files to CD.

9. This will bring up the CD burning Wizard dialog.  You will be put in a CD 
name:


edit box.

The date is automatically put into this box by default.

To give your CD a name, first hit the delete key to clear the edit box, then 
type


what you would like to name the CD.

10. Then just tab to the next button and hit the space bar.

11.  You are given the choice of two radio buttons.  The highlighted one is 
make an audio cd for standard audio cd players.


The second radio button is make a data cd for computer and some cd 
players.




12.Tab to next and press enter or the space bar.



13.  Window media player will open.Tab to burn button and press the 
space bar.




14.  Tab to start burn  and press the space bar or enter.  The burning 
process will start.




When it is done writing, your CD drive door should automatically pop out so 
you can


remove the CD.



You will be placed back into Windows Media Player with the start burn 
buttonhighlighted.


I hope the above instructions helped you accomplish what you were wanting to 
do!

using dvd writer with lightscribe capability and jaws question

he loaded the LS drivers for the writing program to work.
He  am totally blind using jaws.
Because Because he using jaws, I downloaded the lightscribe simple program.
Jaws goes to the edit fields and it seems to fill in just fine.
But, when going  to preview, and or, print, the text is blocked by a black 
square, no matter what font or templet is used.

Tried using other programs but jaws won't work due to graphics.
Any experience, or thoughts with this?

Hi Michael.

Personally I use Goldwave, but SF is perhaps the more professional and 
flexible program.


I really don't think it matters too much which you use, unless you intend 
to do some really fancy recording stuff.


If all you are talking about is recording the pure sound of trains, then 
it's a matter of which recorder, rather than which Digital Editor you 
choose.


Loads of us love the sounds of steam trains, passengers and day trips by 
train.  I have an Olympus DS50 and a pair of BSM Binaural microphones and 
the sound quality is actually very good.


Okay, I need to convert my file, which is not MP3 into an MP3 file using 
goldwave.




but apart from that, my Olympus and Goldwave does the job.

Finally, there is a lot to be said about keeping things as simple and 
basic as you can.  This, I believe, can be a sign of professionalism. 
Clarity and simplicity, that's the answer.


Very best wishes.
Andy..

digital turntables question

2009-10-17 Thread dan thompson

Hi All,
I wish to put some lp's on cd.  Currently I am recording  them in via Adobe 
1.5 , track by track and running the noise reduction option on each track.
I'd like a USB  digital turntable since data transfer is quicker or other 
device that would notice the silence between tracks and record each separate 
into a folder on my computer or hard drive in the turntable that could be 
transftered to the computer.
Is there such a device and where can I find it?  I'd like to put many lp's 
to cd next year after I retire and maybe  do this as a side job for locals. 
Not suggesting anything illegal, just putting famly collections to cd for 
better sound quality after a lp is scratched etc.

Hi George,

The latest release of Audacity is 1.3.8 which came out at the end of the 
last week. Although a small number of people have had problems installing 
it on XP, the developers are working on the problem, and there is a 
temporary fix if needed. There's a new version of the Jaws guide which 
someone else referred to, and it's available at:

http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-1.3.8-Guide.html

If you've got a recording which you want to save as separate tracks, then 
you could do something like this:


Make sure the track is selected (enter toggles the selection). Press home 
to make sure you're at the beginning of the track. Then go round the 
following loop:
1. Press P to play, and then press ] at the point where you want the track 
segment to end, and then spacebar to stop the playback.
2. There's now audio selected, and you can save this by choosing Export 
selection from the file menu.
3. After the export, press right arrow which deselects the current 
selection and moves the cursor to the end of that selection, so that 
you're ready to go round the loop again.


Note that several ways of moving the cursor and refining which audio is 
selected are given in the guide.


David.

Hi Brian, I'd like some guidance in this area.  I currently use soundforge

Hi,
I have afew music videos we have made on a new cool Sony Video Camera with 
a build in hard drive.
I can view these files on my computer, and want to do stuff like, edit 
convert, and so on with these files.
At least I want to be able to cut the ends bad takes, and maybe insert 
some text and so on.


I know you can import video files into sound forge, but will SF also cut, 
paste, and so on in the video materials, or only edit the sound part?


thanks in advance

Best regards
Brian

multi-track recording

2009-05-13 Thread Dan Thompson
Hi, I also use Sornar with Cakewtalk  and JFW as well as We with great 
results.  However, I also use soundforge for editing files because of the 
very friendly cueing feature.  I also use adobe audition for addition 
affects.  Probably because of inexperience, but I find sornar's affects 
challenging to add/change.

question on cueing in soundforge 9.0E

2009-04-13 Thread Dan Thompson

Hi All,
I use Soundforge 9.0E for e  editing.  When pressing the letter q, I can 
then select material and SF plays the selection as I move along and as I 
select the more.


However, something I did now made SF not let me har the selected materail as 
I am holding down shift and arrowing to the right to select audio material.


A sighted friend said something is being select4ed//highlighted, but SF is 
not   letting me hear  the selected mmaterials as  before.  Hope that 
doesn't sound to confusing.  I will write the steps I take below so someone 
may understand my problem better.

How things use to work.

1.  Press the letter q.
2.  Press the space bar followed by holding down the left shift key.
3.  While holding down the left shift, I arrow right and can hear only the 
material I am selecting.


How things work now.

1.  Press the letter q.
2.  Press the space bar followed by holding down the left shift key.
3.  While holding down the left shift, I arrow right and can not hear the 
material I am selecting.
4.  I have tried pressing control plus  left arrow to move to the beginning 
of the  file.

5.  Then I have pressed q again.
6.  Pressed space  followed by the left shift plus right arrow with no text 
beingselecteed.7.  If I press q again while the file is playing, it will 
stop playing.  Then if I press the spacebar, I will hear a smal snip of what 
was selected.

In short how can I make things behave again?

I would be extremely greatful for any help.

Thank you Mat, this will help a great deal.  I wI thought it one would do 
what you said regarding copying the dvd to a hard disc but wasn't sure.

OK, this depends on what you actually want to do. If you just want to 
store the dvd data on the hard drive, in order to make exact copies of the 
dvds later, then you need only to create folders with meaningful names for 
each dvd, and copy the video_ts and other folders from the dvd itself into 
those meaningful folders. When you want to burn another copy of the same 
dvd, you can use the data stored within the folders to make dvds, rather 
than using the physical discs themselves. For instance, if your dvd is 
labeled production 1, then make a folder with that name on the hard drive, 
and copy the contents of the dvd just like you would any other file. When 
you actually prepare to burn the dvd, select the folders within the 
production 1 folder, rather than the production 1 folder itself. The root 
of the dvd structure must be those video_ts and audio_ts folders. Now 
that's how you preserve dvds on a hard drive. However, if your object is 
to take the video content off of a dvd and make playable files for 
uploading to Youtube or for play in other formats, then you'll need a dvd 
ripper. There is a good program which grabs only the audio from dvds 
called DVD Audio Extractor, but for collecting the whole video source, 
you'd want something which will turn dvd segments into .avi files, such as 
a converter named that, or some of the tools within the Nero suite of cd 
burning tools. I hope that this info helps you out some.

FYI.
HUMANWARE UNVEILS VICTOR READER STREAM 3.0

[This announcement is displayed in text only for accessibility with 
Braille

Notetakers. A web version with images is available at:
http://www.humanware.com/en-canada/about_us/press_releases/2009_press_releases/humanware_unveils_victor_reader_stream_3]

Los Angeles California, March 17, 2009 -- Today at the annual CSUN
technology conference in Los Angeles, HumanWare announced the latest 
version
of its popular Victor Reader Stream DAISY NISO book player, MP3 player, 
and

voice recorder. The latest release of software for the Stream is version
3.0. It is a free upgrade software for the tens of thousands of users who
now enjoy their Stream worldwide.

Version 3.0 is a major release packed with new features that continue to
distinguish the Stream as the industry leader among pocket size accessible
players. Version 3.0 responds to popular requests received from many 
Stream

customers. New features include:

• Multi-level bookshelf navigation for Other Books, Podcasts, and Text. 
Now

you can optionally organize these bookshelves into multiple levels of
folders and navigate at those levels.
• Multi-level folder navigation within Music files. For example, now you
could choose to organize your music by levels such as genre, artist, and
album and navigate at those levels to more quickly find your desired 
music.
• Further you can now instantly create temporary playlists of any subset 
of

your music collection and limit Random play to only that portion of your
music.
• Moreover, you can turn random play on or off with a single key press 
like

many commercial MP3 players.
• Text Search. Yes, now you can enter words to search for in your text 
files

or text-only DAISY books.
• Bookmark alert. You can enable an optional bookmark alert feature to
notify you when you are playing a book and pass over a previously 
bookmarked

position. It will even automatically announce your audio bookmarks.
• Two text-to-speech voices. The English version of Stream 3.0 will now
include both a male and female text-to-speech voice.
• A 30 minute Time Jump feature and many other usability improvements have
been added.


With the increasing use of 8gb, 16, and even 32gb storage cards, users 
are

managing ever increasing amounts of data on their Stream, says Gerry
Chevalier, Victor Reader Product Manager. With thousands of music files 
and

hundreds of podcasts or text files they have asked us to provide more
efficient navigation and version 3 delivers just that.

Says Chevalier, The improved navigation as well as the bookmark alert, 
text

search and other usability improvements in Stream 3.0 renews HumanWare's
commitment to our Stream customers that we would continue to enhance the
Stream over time to maximize their Stream investment.

And there's more. HumanWare is pleased to announce that Stream 3.0 will 
also

be accompanied by a completely new-look Stream Companion software. The new
Stream Companion 3.0 Windows software has a completely new menu driven
interface, support for the new Bookshare zip format, and more.

HumanWare expects to have both the Stream 3.0 and Companion 3.0 available
for free download before the end of March. The software will be made
available on the Stream Support Page

Re: converting mp3 to gp3 or mp4 etc question

2009-02-09 Thread Dan Thompson
Thanks for the  valuable feedback.  I will probably wait as you suggest.   I 
agree with you about reducing  sound quality when shrinking the files.  I 
really wish the wav files weren't so big since they are the best sounding in 
my opinion.


Thanks again.

You can use Switch Sound File converter. The FAQ on the files types 
supported, which includes a link where you can download the program, is at 
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/kb/747.html. This is a 14 day free trial, but 
after the 14 days is up, it'll still work in a limited fashion, but 
converting from MP3 files won't be effected.


I personally wouldn't be too quick to convert your MP3 files, unless 
you're desperate for space. there hasn't been a media player--to my 
knowledge--that hasn't supported MP3 files, and I doubt this will happen 
any time soon. Furthermore, there will always be programs to convert from 
MP3 (there are just too many of them out there right now) to other file 
types, so you could just wait until this is needed.


Also you won't be improving the quality of your music, and in fact, you 
may be introducing artifacts. If you're looking for a smaller footprint 
with better quality, you'd have to go back to your original source.


For my part, I'm still ripping music into the MP3 file format. I'm no 
audiofile, and the convenience of MP3 just can't be beat. I know I can 
play it anywhere. Note that I have been toying with the idea of switching 
file formats, but I haven't settled on a new format yet, and I'm not in 
any hurry.

cda to mp3 or wav format.
