[all-audio] Another Cool idea for those that want to get audio off the iphone

[Hamit Campos]

If the subject line is a bit screwed up sorry about that. But here's a 
vid of a cool large diafram condencer that is a recorder but also I 
guees you can hook it to the IPhone.

Hi,
I’ve found another audio editor for the Mac called Twistedwave which is 
incredibly accessible and easy to use plus you get great value for money with 
the Lite version which I’m using now.
Firstly the App uses cursor keys to get about so you would use say home to get 
to the beginning and end to get to the end of the file.
Left and right cursor keys move you through the file whilst up and down cursor 
keys change the length of that movement.
There are facilities to fine tune your selection and navigation.
For example the user can type a specific time at which to place the cursor in 
the file or use the selection editor to fine tune the beginning and end points 
of a selection.
Plenty of keyboard shortcuts exist and all can be edited to make the learning 
kerb a little easier if required.
Recording facilities are provided allowing recording from multiple inputs as 
well as punch-in recording.
Extra channels can be added to a recording though I’ve not explored this 
feature as yet but will certainly do so.
Twistedwave has an effects menu so the user can either use the provided effects 
or add their own efforts, VST and 64-bit are all supported.
Plenty of generation options such as tone generation, speech generation etc are 
also provided which is a nice convenient touch to any audio software.
My only complaint at this time is the lack of audio formats supported but 
that’s probably a restriction of the Lite version.
Sop long as a Lossless audio format is supported then I’m not worried as I have 
other tools to convert to such formats as FLAC and anything else outside the 
standard formats used on the Mac by apple.
The lite version of Twistedwave costs $30 from the Mac Apps Store.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event

[Dane Trethowan]

I should warn you before you go ahead with your iMac purchase that the 
modern-day iMac - as great a tool as it is - does not have a built-in sound 
device any longer, only built-in microphones and a headphone output so you’re 
going to need some sort of external sound Interface more than likely.
There are of course many interfaces available so take your pick.
As to why Apple decided to take away the built-in sound Interface from the Mac 
line? Well that’s Apple for you ain’t it .
I think it only fair to point out to you that - if its the all-in-one 
convenience you grave then there are Windows alternatives if you would rather 
not go down the Mac road.
I have been using Mac machines now for. 25 years full-time and I have enjoyed 
every minute of my experience.
I started with a Mac LC-630 machine with Outspoken.
Apple lead the charge with the Introduction of the VoiceOver Screen Reader in 
OSX Tiger back in 2005, thankfully Windows has followed suit with Narrator.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event

[Dane Trethowan]

Thank you for bringing this model of speaker to my attention.
The thing I really liked about the Amazon Alexa Tap was its portability even 
though this was limited to the boundaries of a Wifi network there will still 
ways around this.
One could take the Tap wherever one wanted to journey to and use the Hotspot 
feature of your Smart Device as a Wifi connection to the Tap.
Overkill one might say and that’s true but one has to admit that Voice 
Assistants are just damn convenient particularly when they perform the tasks 
you wish to your exacting standards .

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event

[Aidan]

Dane, I am also thinking of getting an IMac, since then you have
everything in one, and its goog for audio, and I get the full feature
set in apps like garageband and yes, ios don't have something like
audio hijack yet.
And if you need to get the job done, weel then that is just necessary.
And IMac also have stereo speakers.

Gina, I love google assistant. Its available on many thirdparty
speakers also, and I recently aquired the jbl link20. And now I can
carry the thing around and don't have to sit at one place where the
GoogleHome mini is plugged in. Yes google understands easlier, I just
struggle for it to here me trigger it sometimes.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event

[Brian Olesen]

Hi Gina,
Google Assistant is very good at understanding human voice. Probably the best 
at it at the moment.
Alexa is almost just as good, but dear miss Siri lacks quite a bit behind.
The response voice that comes with Siri is seriously upgraded with iOS 13 which 
definitely sutes her!

Best regards
Brian

I have a bit of a speech impediment that also causes her to not always

something that has the "R" sound, she'll sometimes get it wrong!

[all-audio] Google With Voice

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi,
I like the "Search By Voice" facility in Google Chrome so naturally was 
wondering if there's a way to use Google Search by Voice to listen to Radio 
Stations and Podcasts as one can do with the Google Assistant?

Subject: [all-audio] Plextalk WebRadio

Some kind person sent me a list of these playlists to import to PlextalkPocket 
WebRadio Folder. However in the process of transferring accomodation to an age 
care facility and changing computers they have disapppeared.
The Plextalk manual suggests that I visit Shoutcast and download individual 
.pls files. Can't find what I want on this site. Are there any other sites from 
which I can get these files?
Andrea

Re: [all-audio] Portable digital recorders

You can use dropbox with many iphone apps to export audio from an iphone.

Hello,

I didn’t explain very well as it was early hours of the morning. Obviously, the 
microphone changes an analog signal to a digital one. So the phone’s DAC is 
only relevant in respect of editing. However, there is still paths for the 
digital signal to travel and pick up noise. As I said, manufacturers have been 
focusing upon video advances at the expense of audio. I could imagine getting a 
Gig of audio would be quite difficult off an iPhone. The Galaxy S8 would be 
easier but it’s the S9 and 10 that are stereo and have a good audio system.

Hello,

I forgot to return to the fact that the DAC Digital to Audio Converter is not 
the best. So whatever bit rate and depth is used, or whatever microphone is 
used the recording will suffer. As you can appreciate, phone manufacturers have 
only just starting to focus on audio because there was a demand to improve 
video and camera functionality in  the past. I am really seeking something more 
professional than a phone’s DAC.

Hi, Georgina.
Another option is something like the sennheiser ambio smart headset, 
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-AMBEO-Smart-Headset-iOS/dp/B0744PC5J8/ref=asc_df_B0744PC5J8/?tag=hyprod-20=df0=312026001792=1o2=g=14690300091695391918c===9002059=pla-450898583753=1

This works with your iphone and will make recordings in binaural stereo. 
Especially if you are recording something like a dragonboat race in which you 
are participating, a person listening to your recordings wearing headphones 
will think they are piloting the dragonboat. Binaural recordings give a very 
lifelike experience to the listener.
I agree with Dane in the sense that I think any iphone out there today will 
make as good a recording as the zoom h6 or h8. Also, depending on the iphone 
recording app you are using and the amount of storage space you have on your 
iphone, you can record at 48 kilohertz 24 kbps which is fine for high-quality 
recordings.
Also, if you put your phone in airplane mode with a full battery charge, you 
can get a whole day of recording off of one charge.
I wouldn't edit on the iphone, however. For that I would use some type of audio 
editing software on the mac or pc, of which there are many good options.

Hello,

To me it seems an exciting world. I don’t know what I will use things for until 
such time as I know what tools I have at my disposal. I have always made 
compromises and I accept that working with audio it is always making 
compromises. At the moment I just want to get a very nice sound as professional 
as I can at home and out and about. The Dragon-boat nationals are in October so 
got some time to play. While I redo my tutorial on DMR which sounds absolutely 
awful.

Yes, I am looking at stuff that could be overkill but such equipment is an 
investment so it is important to have room for  growth. Rather than wanting 
something better 5 minutes after purchasing it.

Thanks, for your input. It is really making me think about how I get to my

Hi,
Based on the description of the task at hand I’m wondering if its worth the 
bother using something like the Zoom recorders we’re discussing?
The H4N Pro, H6 etc are all multi track recorders and fine recorders they are.
You may consider using the iPhone or the Galaxy phone you have.
I know with the iPhone I use a very nice recording tool called Twisted Wave or 
the free TW Recorder.
Using the iPhone itself the recorder can record 48K Sampling. Rate in stereo 
which may be all that is required for a demo when using speech.
Adapters may be required for use of particular microphones. With my iPhone I 
use the Shure NV51 or NV88 microphones.
Amazon is a treasure trove for this sort of stuff so it might be worth spending 
a few minutes doing a few searches, doing some browsing and see what you come 
up with.

Hello Christopher,

I am a radio ham and I decided to do recordings to demonstrate how to use

by CAVI and I am working through that material.

I recently went to Barcelona to paddle for Preston Dragons. I would have loved
