Hi Everyone, I mentioned Radioboss around a week ago and before that I mentioned the software around 2 years ago.
At the time I forwarded an eMail message to the list from a friend who was successfuly using the Radioboss software at his local Hospital Radio station, Friend is also totally blind. So that was "Then" and this is "Now". I will save my comments regarding "Then" for later in this eMail but for the time being will focus on the present "Now". My friend Gordon had suggested I have another look at Radioboss last week after I made the suggestion that I purchase Station Playlist whatever its called these days. I did intend to purchase the full version of Station Playlist even though the price is rather high and this is something I'll go into further shortly. Gordon suggested I try Radioboss and see what I thought. Radioboss is easy to find at http://www.radioboss.com where you can downloaded the Advanced version to try. I've been exploring Radioboss for a week and was pleased to note that the author seems to have gone out of his way to make the software accessible. Actually there's an accessibility toggle in the "View" menu which was turned off for the majority of my testing thus far. The Software boasts plenty of shortcut key combinations and more can be set for functionality if required. So how does Radioboss sound? Here is a link to an hour of the testing I did to see how the audio and DSP sounded with Radioboss. The processing needs a little tweaking which I can do but I think right out of the box Radioboss sounds very good indeed so have a listen yourself at https://www.dropbox.com/s/owguume4yjdxydg/20190208_14-03-32.flac?dl=0 So now to when I mentioned Radioboss on the then pc-audio list around 2 years ago with the forwarded eMail. I was disappointed with the reaction of some list members. Yes some tried the software but said that Radioboss would never be accessible because of the language the software was written in. Another list member wrote to Gordon directly and asked him not to advertise the fact that their was a competitor to Station Playlist as this person wanted to develop JAWS scripts for Station Playlist and didn't want any interference thanks very much. As a blind person myself I found both attitudes quite astounding and my view is very simple. The more choice we have then the better for all. I have no problem with anyone using Station Playlist, Radioboss or whatever and if you're able to use the software then let's hear some positive feedback regarding your experience and some encouragement rather than selfish netativity. One can download a trial of Radioboss Advanced from http://radioboss.com or purchase the full Radioboss Advanced for $249 US which is less than half the price of Station Playlist Whatever. Different versions of Radioboss are available allowing extra plugins to be added for more functionality and flexibility but Radioboss Advanced has all of the bells and whistles so I thought I'd go with that given the price tag. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
