The Hands Free App And A Test Recording

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi there!

I wrote about the Hands Free Mac App around 2 weeks ago.

In basic terms the App allows the connection of a Bluetooth phone or device - 
Android or IOS - to your Mac and thus control of that device from your Mac.

You can control functions such as make/answer calls, search for contacts and 
dial those and - in the case of android devices - send/receive SMS Text 
Messages.

The App is fully accessible via the Status bar one your Mac which can be 
accessed with VoiceOver by using vo-M twice to get to the status bar, move to 
the “Hands Free” icon etc, a menu will be presented with the various functions 
allowing the dialling of numbers and so forth and with every option selected a 
new window will open on your Mac.

So that’s just part of the Hands Free App experience and what about its hidden 
functions such as recording?

Hands Free will record your phone calls as the link below demonstrates.

The recording is of a simple call to my Voicemail service and I plan to make 
another recording with someone using Telstra’s HD Voice capabilities on their 
network but one thing at a time, here’s the first recording.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10565527/No%20Name%20-%2026_02_2016%20at%208_31_42%20PM.m4a

You can try Hands free or buy a registered copy for $10 which sounds perfectly 
unreasonable doesn’t it .

As you can tell the sound characteristics are somewhat different but 
sounds nice for a Dynamic microphone all the same, good things to 
have around when you want to get up close with your speech without 
the background noise.


The test has been recorded in FLAC.

Re: Audio Technica Dynamic Microphone Test

Absolutely right.

My apologies when doing that test as I wasn’t in a very good frame of mind but 
that all seems to have sorted itself out now.

Regarding the whine someone mentioned? Well I didn’t hear a “Wine” myself and 
no one else has mentioned it but if there were a “Wine” of some sort then it 
wouldn’t surprise me at all given I’m right next door to the railway station.

Re: Audio Technica Dynamic Microphone Test

[Jörgen Hansson]

is it only called Audio technica USB Dynamic, or does it have a model number 
too? this sounds like a good choice for doing podcasts and so on. Can you 
even usit for portable stuff? I mean, is it easy to put in a small bag for 
traveling? you said it has a headphone jack on it, this means that you can 
even use it as a sound card, right? I like it's sound.

Re: Audio Technica Dynamic Microphone Test

It does have a model number yes and its featured in an article I sent to the 
list this morning that discusses creating Podcasts at a budget price.

Two microphones are mentioned for different tasks, the Audio Technica USB 
Dynamic microphone we’re discussing now - for close up Voice work - and the 
Blue Yeti condenser microphone.

Re: Audio Technica Dynamic Microphone Test

Hi, I have the same mic, and I think that mic sounds better than the blue 
yetti.



I use the earphone output to play through my speakers.

Because window eyes is playing through my laptop speaker  it's just great.

Re: Audio Technica Dynamic Microphone Test

[Dane Trethowan]

I’ll post the article to the list again which mentions the two microphone units 
we’re discussing here.

The Blue Yeti and the Audio Technical microphones are very different devices 
for very different needs and the article attempts to illustrate this though 
that’s difficult to do when you can’t hear the mic themselves though you can 
hear a distinct difference in the way they operate, the Audio Technical will 
only pick up sounds from directly in front of it whilst the Blue Yeti picks 
up.. well… just about everything to be heard including the vibration of typing 
on a keyboard if a shock mount isn’t installed .

Re: First Blue Yeti Microphone Test

[Curtis Delzer]

it sounded very very nice, a little "proximity" 
effect toward the beginning which is typical but 
you moved away. Stereo image, excellent, 
including quite a nice "low rumble," probably 
from traffic outside? :) very nice highs, and as 
I said, the imaging is excellent.
THANKS! sounds like mine, and am actually

Re: First Blue Yeti Microphone Test

[Dane Trethowan]

I hope to have the rumble sorted soon, could have been a number of 
things, possibly even the Train Station next door but I'd say more than 
likely the computer was resonating through the wooden desktop.


I also hadn't tweaked anything or perhaps a better way of putting it was 
that I didn't know how to tweak the Blue Yeti at that time so yep, a 
little clipping in places but very impressed if I dare say so myself 
given that I only had the thing for around 10 minutes.


I just used 44.1KHZ Stereo FLac, ain't that good enough? 

As soon as all the filters and stuff arrive I'll go for another test drive.

Re: First Blue Yeti Microphone Test

I honestly don’t know the answer to that question, the Microphone itself would 
be I should think given the various patterns that can be used but the output of 
the computer is just plain stereo and can’t be changed as far as I know.

Perhaps someone else here might have more knowledge on this point than I do as 
I’m setting up for the first time.

Re: First Blue Yeti Microphone Test

[Curtis Delzer]

it does sound "binaural," and it is quite phase 
sensitive, which matters to me! many "stereo" 
microphones are not as phase sensitive as they 
should be with each other, if you know what I mean. :)

 Hi all,
 
 Several years ago, I purchased a pair of AKG Q701 headphones for use with a
 home stereo. These are, in my opinion, outstanding phones, especially
 considering the price is around $200 or a bit more on Amazon.They are
 wonderfully comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, more so than
 any other phones I've seen, bar none.  Recent reviews indicate some
 dissatisfaction, since these are now apparently being made in China, rather
 than Austria, the home country of AKG. But that's not the point of this
 message.
 
 I have tried my Q701 with the headphone output of my iPhone and find the
 output of the phone isn't sufficient to drive the Qs well. So I looked into
 the possibility of a portable headphone amp, such as the fiio e12, which has
 pretty decent reviews on Amazon. It is not clear to me, however, how you get
 the signal from the lightning port on the phone to the little amp, as it
 doesn't seem to come with a cable. You can purchase a separate LOD from
 fiio, but it has the old style 30-pin connector. You could then purchase an
 official Apple lightning adapter at some ridiculously inflated price, of
 course, and then I suppose the set up would work, although I don't think
 this amp has a DAC, and I'm not sure if you'd need one of those anyway. So,
 the question. What are folks doing who have head phones which are not driven
 adequately by the crummy output stages found in portable devices like phones
 etc?

or whatever to  the 3.5 mm input of the amplifier. It also has a usb socket
so you can use it as a sound card also.

I think it was called the Egghead or something like that.

Subject: improving headphone sound with a portable amp?

Hi all,

Several years ago, I purchased a pair of AKG Q701 headphones for use with a
home stereo. These are, in my opinion, outstanding phones, especially
considering the price is around $200 or a bit more on Amazon.They are
wonderfully comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, more so than
any other phones I've seen, bar none.  Recent reviews indicate some
dissatisfaction, since these are now apparently being made in China, rather
than Austria, the home country of AKG. But that's not the point of this
message.

I have tried my Q701 with the headphone output of my iPhone and find the
output of the phone isn't sufficient to drive the Qs well. So I looked into
the possibility of a portable headphone amp, such as the fiio e12, which has
pretty decent reviews on Amazon. It is not clear to me, however, how you get
the signal from the lightning port on the phone to the little amp, as it
doesn't seem to come with a cable. You can purchase a separate LOD from
fiio, but it has the old style 30-pin connector. You could then purchase an
official Apple lightning adapter at some ridiculously inflated price, of
course, and then I suppose the set up would work, although I don't think
this amp has a DAC, and I'm not sure if you'd need one of those anyway. So,
the question. What are folks doing who have head phones which are not driven
adequately by the crummy output stages found in portable devices like phones
etc?

I use a little headphone amplifier  made by a company called Headroom.  It
takes 4 AAA batteries.

What I like about it is that it has a high and low impedence switch so it
caters for all kinds of headphones.

You get a short cable with it  which allows you to connect your mp3 device
or whatever to  the 3.5 mm input of the amplifier. It also has a usb socket
so you can use it as a sound card also.

Please reply offlist: Looking for some NVDA users willing to test upcoming version of StationPlaylist Studio add-on 4.0-dev

[Joseph Lee]

Hi, mostly broadcasters using NVDA,

I'm looking for a number of users to test some of the upcoming features of
NVDA add-on 4.0-dev. I'm looking for people who are:

* Broadcasters using NVDA add-on for SPL Studio (add-on version 3.0
or later).

* Users using Studio 5.10 (5.01 is fine too).

* Users using braille displays.

* Users using Studio's own encoder to encode their shows.

If you believe you fall under one or more of these categories, or would like
to volunteer to test late alpha level code, please reply to me privately at
joseph.lee22...@gmail.com mailto:joseph.lee22...@gmail.com . Incentives
will include a chance to test early beta version of the add-on and to talk
to the creator of the add-on via Skype to provide early feedback for the
next version of the add-on after 4.0. Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph

Re: Test Of Yamaha TD500 DAB+ Tuner

[Casey]

Hello Dane do you happen to know if the make a version of this tuner for 
the united states?

It sounds like a nice unit.
And very sensitive also.
So what do you think of the unit so far?

This tuner is capable of receiving FM/AM/DAB/DAB+ stations.

I'm still learning how to use the thing but thought I'd test DAB+ first given 
that this was the main reason for the purchase.

The Tuner has 30 presets for each band and most functions are driven by the 
compact remote controller unit.

Anyway back to the test, its in FLAC format and is about 12MB in size.

I recorded the test holding the DAB+ antenna in my hand so the least that can 
be said is that the tuner is very sensitive, I live around 40 miles away from 
the DAB+ transmitters and they're only really meant for Inner Metropoletin use.

I doubt it would be available in the U.S. given that you use HD Radio digital 
standard and we don't.

Fwd: DJay for the Mac Test Mix

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

Hi everyone!

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

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

Cheers

Goalball Audio Stereo Recordings: 2007 Trans Tasman test Series.

[David Truong]

Hi to those of you interested,

I have stereo recordings of the recently completed Trans Tasman Goalball 5
test series held in Melbourne over 21-22 September at Kew High School.
There is no commentary.  None the less it is a cracking series played
between two great teams being Australia and New Zealand.  Many of you
probably know the result of the series but just in case you don't, I won't
spoil it for you smile.

You can download these files from:

ftp://files:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'll be sending up some sendspace links soon just in case you can't get into
my ftp site.  However, if you do run into problems with the ftp site, just
try toggling your passive mode settings.

Cheers and enjoy.
