Bellshare and SharpVoice
I just read about both of these programs this afternoon. Both programs are a bit like Skype but I haven't tried them yet so I don't know how accessible they are. Bellshare can be downloaded from www.bellshare.net. Bellshare has been written by the author of Buddyphone and is the next generation program following on from Buddyphone. SharpVoice can be downloaded from www.sharpvoice.com.

Thanks very much indeed, Steve. - Original Message - From: Harry Bassler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 1:45 PM Subject: Re: MP3DirectCut Url Yes, here are some instructions that someone sent along last week or so: Here are some shortcuts for this fine program, which may be useful to some here: b: Marks the beginning of a selection n: marks the end of a selection Note, that one can have several selections simultaniously in one file. To activate a specific selection, one can use the menu system of Mp3DirectCut. The following commands use the numbers row above the letter keys, not the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard. These commands move by frame. One frame is about a 38th of a second: 1: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the left 2: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the right 3: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the left 4: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the right With the following keys, one can exactly hear, where the margins of a selection are: F5: Plays the two seconds before the left margin of a selection F6: Plays the first two seconds of a selection F7: Plays the last two seconds of a selection F8: Plays the two seconds after the right margin of a selection F9: Plays the file around the selection as if the block had been cut out To cut a selection one can press the delete key. This does not touch the MP3 file. It just modifies an MP3DirectCut index. Therefore, cuts can be made quickly. There are also menu options and shortcut keys to save a selection into a different file. To split an MP3 file, which consists of a complete album, one can use the pause detection feature, which can be reached via the menu system. It will set a marker before each song. These markers are actually selections with a length of zero. To check the markers, one can go from one to the other with Control cursor right and Control cursor left. The file can then be split according to the markers. Or one can save a cue sheet file or an MP3 DirectCut project file. Both would contain the markers. With these marker files, one can easily find certain positions in an MP3 file. To go to a specific time position, Control-p can be used. The edit box is a bit strange, don't delete the words in it, just modify the file position. One has to leave the apostrophes, which seperate hours minutes and seconds alone. The program needs these apostrophes Then, there are the recording shortcuts, which I mentioned in my first message about MP3DirectCut: r: Opens the record dialog, in which sighted people can adjust the recording level p: Starts the recording, when the recording dialog is open As much as I know, there's no pause function in the program. s: Stops the recording. These were just a couple of the shortcuts and functions of this powerful program, with which one can also normalize, fade-in fade-out and so on and so forth. Hi Marlaina, Here are some more shortcuts: One can rewind and fast forward using cursor left and right or page-up and page-down. The latter two keys move faster than the first two. How many frames each pair moves can be set via the menu system.

Re: Diamond Cut 5 (DC5)
Hi There is no wizard to access the presets. You use the straightforward menus perfectly accessible with Jaws, choose the group of presets you wish eg. Continuous Noise Reduction,Dynamic Filters, Bandpass, etc.; each of these bring up a dialog box which can be tabbed around. One of the places you land on with the tab key is a preset combo box from which you can choose from up to a hundred presets - you can then preview the one you've chosen or indeed if you are happy with it, you can apply it to the file.l All this is perfectly accessible to Jaws. You can even slightly fine tune each preset. Some more sophisticated tuning would need th Jaws cursor but generally there's a preset for just about everything. The next version just about to appear has an automatice checking and analysing of the file to which it will then apply the filters it chooses. I think these can even be fine tuned. As I've said in a previous email they appear to be addressing some of these finer points and hopefully this automatic function will be Jaws friendly. The new program will not need anyone to choose a small area of file as a fingerprint for noise reduction of the whole file - it seems to do the analysing itself. It's perfectly true at the moment that selecting a small area as a fingerprint is difficult in DC5 as editing and selecting are difficult but not impossible. I prefer to save a small area of the file in Cool Edit Pro (Audition) - a portion only with the background noise - then import this into DC5 to analyse and make a preset. Then I import the whole file and apply it. To be fair though there's generally a preset which will work fairly well With the new program however fingerprinting will be a thing of the past.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 9:36 AM Subject: Re: Diamond Cut 5 (DC5) Hi Rocker I'm afraid I'm not aware of any scripts for JFW and DC5. To be honest I've not used half the features as I really only am interested in my business with audio restoration and once I prepare a file eg the portion I want to process - I do this in Cool Edit Pro (Audition) I then load it into DC5 and apply any of the presets of which there are hundreds. The dialog boxes for each of the functions i.e. Dynamic Processing, Continuous Noise filter, Band Passes, etc., these boxes are perfectly able to be tabbed around and selections chosen. There is a combo box in each dialog box which contains from about 20 to to about 100 options, in the case of noise reduction giving you many fingerprints of different devices, record players, tape machines, dictaphones, reel to reel recorders, all types of dolby settings, 45rpm, 33rpm and 78rpm, etc. which can be applied to the file or previewed first. In the EQ dialog boxes again there are similar presets giving so many options it's more than likely you would be able to find one. In general there's enough for anyone to use there - the difficulty is that if you want to tweak any of these you have more difficulty and would have to use the Jaws cursor to get around with varying degrees of success. As I said earlier however for most people there are enough presets to get by with. The other main problem with the program is that editing is not simple - I only use whole files I've prepared somewhere else eg. Cool Edit. The good news is that they have responded favourably to an email I sent (and others too of course) detailing all the things the program lacked including the need for more transport and selection shortcuts. At present it's accessible menu-wise and dialog box-wise to a good and usable degree with Jaws, but no doubt with continued pressure and perhaps more VIP's giving suggestions, this good program can only get better. I have no hesitation in recommending it at the moment if the features I've described are what you need, and you're not too bothered about tweaking at present. Also because I spend much time analysing a file for the best preset it can take some time to settle on one. With the new program however with its automatic functions not only to ascertain which filters are necessary for the file but also with the ability to adjust as the file proceeds, I can see this taking out much of the drudge work and possibly appealing to the novice who wants a professional finish easily achieved.

They do have the Weather Bug program, and also something called Weather Pulse, but where do I go to find out about Weather Aloud? ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Live Journal http://djc1.livejournal.com email Or Msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I C Q Number Is: 4781694 Join Me for Great Oldies on Saturday Evenings. www.krbx.com for the Schedule and Information. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

microphone
Maybe someone can answer this. I have this Dell computer with a SBLive sound card. Now, on the normal SBLive driver there is a check box for a 20 DB boost in the record microphone volume which worked out great with the non-powered mics, but this dell driver doesn't have the check box. Can I get a mic that would allow me to boost the gain since I can't do it through the sound card driver? ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Realplayer 10 update
Hi. I also think that it is kind of funny that you need sighted help to get the real player update. As has been said, the program seems pretty accessible, but with window-eyes, as with jfw, I guess, you can't find anything on the update window nor can you tell which check boxes are there to be checked or unchecked.

Nero question
I want to create a CD that has a recording of a radio programme on it. the program is 70 minutes long. However I want to be able to create tracks that I can go to using next and previous buttons on the CD plater. I have created regions in Soud Forge and then from that created 44 separate tracks. How can I make all the tracks run together, so that if I just want to listen to the CD without the gaps between tracks. I think there is a way to do this but I am not sure where to find it in Nero or Sound forge.

Re: getting split files from mp3 direct cut to play as split files inwinamp
Have you used the save split dialog? This should create individual files for each song or track that you have previously selected or marked. Pay attention to the dialog because it has options for file naming. When you finish, navigate to the folder where the split files have been saved then you can load them individually in Winamp. - Original Message - From: Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am able to split files from my cassette album and they play that way as long as the program is open However, when I save my work and play it in winamp, it plays ok but has no splits in it and shows as one big track.

Re: Diamond Cut 5 (DC5)
Hi Hank It's not easy to select areas in a file in Diamond Cut. It may be possible with the Jaws cursor but I think not. As I've said in another email to someone on the list, I edit the file first in Cool Edit (Audition), taking a small portion of file with only the noise and loading it into DC5. I then make a preset of the fingerprint, then load in the complete file with the hiss and then apply the preset I've just made. If you want to be precise then you can't do it at present in DC5 - you must edit the portion somewhere else then import it into DC5. If for instance it's a complete song with hiss then there's no problem - you just load in the file and apply any filter preset. For more limited areas you have to select and save somewhere else then import into DC5. Hopefully the new version will have some of the suggestions I've put to them - they're promising to do something to make transport and selecting more accessible. Also with the automatic analysis and constant checking mode that is coming I'm hoping this will make precise editing and selecting less necessary. At present however I use it to augment my editor as it provides many easy to use filters which are much more powerful.

You use the straightforward menus perfectly accessible with Jaws, choose the group of presets you wish eg. Continuous Noise Reduction,Dynamic Filters, Bandpass, etc.; each of these bring up a dialog box which can be tabbed around. One of the places you land on with the tab key is a preset combo box from which you can choose from up to a hundred presets - you can then preview the one you've chosen or indeed if you are happy with it, you can apply it to the file.l All this is perfectly accessible to Jaws. You can even slightly fine tune each preset. Some more sophisticated tuning would need th Jaws cursor but generally there's a preset for just about everything. The next version just about to appear has an automatice checking and analysing of the file to which it will then apply the filters it chooses. I think these can even be fine tuned. As I've said in a previous email they appear to be addressing some of these finer points and hopefully this automatic function will be Jaws friendly. The new program will not need anyone to choose a small area of file as a fingerprint for noise reduction of the whole file - it seems to do the analysing itself. It's perfectly true at the moment that selecting a small area as a fingerprint is difficult in DC5 as editing and selecting are difficult but not impossible. I prefer to save a small area of the file in Cool Edit Pro (Audition) - a portion only with the background noise - then import this into DC5 to analyse and make a preset. Then I import the whole file and apply it. To be fair though there's generally a preset which will work fairly well With the new program however fingerprinting will be a thing of the past.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 7:33 PM Subject: Re: microphone Tim, What I did was to go to radioshack and buy a small amplifier for around $20 I think. It gave me a tremendous amount of gain, far more than I actually needed, so just set the volume control on it at a low level. The amp is powered by a 9-volt battery or you could get an AC adaptor. The other alternative would be to get a power mic which is a mic with a small amplifier built into the base and is also powered by a battery. Since I already had a working mic, I opted for the small amp. The amp also works quite nicely as a small audio amplifier as it has an internal speaker which is, of course, muted when you plug a cable into the output and run it to your computer.

Re: Nero question
In the properties of the tracks in Nero. What I do is select the tracks from track2 to the end. Then press Alt-enter and check the cross fade with previous track option and then ok. This w2orks perfectly. To check all you need to do is press $7 from Nero before and then after this cross fading manoeuvre and seenthe difference. A further check would be to save the compilation to an .nrg file and then mount to a virtual drive and just let your default player pay it as an audio cd.
