I don't know both pieces of software and as for the speakers, it's a 
question of feeding signal into both speakers or having a mono setting. 
Really depends on what you have to work with.  I, of course, might

You could use a patch cord with 2 rca pins on one end and a standard
earplug
jack on the other.  The earplug jack goes into the computer, and the rca
pins go into the outputs of the tape machine.  After that, you will need
either Goldwave, Sound Forge, or a similar program which will let you 
flip
the 3 and 4 tracks which will be recorded backwards.  You could use a
standard NLS-type machine, but it should have a line-out.  If you use one
of
these, since it's not stereo, you will be able to avoid flipping tracks 3
and 4, but you will have to record each track separately which will add 
to
the time.  The recording software should be able to make the mp3s to your
requirements.

Re: nero express

2005-03-05 Thread Morey Worthington
Hi Roger,
Below is a copy of a file that was put to the list awhile back.
It was put out by a nice lady named Debbie Scales whom has not been heard
from for a period of time.
Hope this might help you.


Run Nero express.
Tab to where it says which recorder do you want to use and make sure it has
the correct drive selected.
If you tab once from there, at least on my machine, all I hear is toolbar.
But
actually this is the data choice.  If I right arrow on where it says
toolbar, I get a context menu that gives me the choice of creating data
disks.
If I down arrow from where I hear toolbar, then I will hear music.  Again,
press the right arrow and you will get choices such as audio cd.
So enter on your choice.
So up and down arrow from where you hear toolbar, then press the right arrow
for the context menu's.
So choose the type of CD you want to create.
Then press alt A for the add button (or tab and enter on add).
Find your folder where it says location and then tab to the listview and add
your files by either using alt A or enter will work also.
Press escape to leave this dialog once you have all your files added.
You are back to the main window where you should find the list of what you
added.
Tab and enter on next (or use alt N).
Then you can set some options, then when ready tab and enter on burn.
One important note.
Nero Express likes to show a tool tip in the middle of the windows that
keeps jaws from reading the windows.  Such as when you first start the
program or use go to add files.
So if you are tabbing and not hearing anything, try hitting escape to clear
 the tool tip from the window.
HTH,
Morey

Is CD Architect accessible?

2005-03-05 Thread Matthew Bullis
Hello, the latest version of Sound Forge, version 8, doesn't appear to be
out yet, but when it does come out, it's being bundled with CD Architect.
Will this extra program be accessible? It will allow users to burn gapless
cd's from the program, respecting the regions you've placed in a file. I
have a lot of concerts on my hard disc, all in .wav file format, and marked
with region markers for making the track marks. Now when I make a cd, I have
to extract the regions into separate .wav files, and sometimes it doesn't
exactly line up seamlessly on the audio cd. This will help a great deal if
it is accessible.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Normalising .mp3's

2005-03-05 Thread Kevin Lloyd
Hi Dane.

I'd have to disagree with you on this one.  I've used a number of rippers
and used normalisation with each of them but for a long time was still
disappointed as I could still hear noticeable differences in volumes of
tracks taken from different albums.  Only MP3GAIN gives me the desired
results of all of my tracks sounding at the same volume level.

I've pasted some details from the MP3GAIN help files that explain the
difference between normalisation and setting the volume of MP3 files to be
the same that makes those few seconds to use MP3GAIN more than worth it.

Concepts

Concepts
Peak Normalization

Most programs that normalize sound files do so by adjusting all the
samples so that the loudest single sample is at some specified value. This
is not
a good way to make all the files actually have the same loudness. First of
all, the human ear does not hear the loudness of single samples. It averages
out sounds over time. Secondly, today's popular music CDs are heavily
compressed. The sound engineers making the CD raise the average level so
that it
sounds much louder, while compressing the loudest parts so that they don't
distort. A typical uncompressed sound file might look like this:

A typical compressed sound file might look like this:

Both of these files have a peak sample at about 100%, but the compressed
file has a much louder average level. It sounds much louder when played
back. So
to do actual loudness normalization instead of peak normalization, we need
to calculate how loud the file actually sounds. MP3Gain uses the
Replay Gain
algorithm to calculate this loudness.

Lossless Gain Adjustment

The bad news: MP3Gain can only adjust the volume of your mp3 files in steps
of 1.5 dB.

The good news: 1.5 dB is a small enough step for most practical purposes.
Most humans can just barely hear a volume change of 1 dB.

The other good news is that this volume adjustment is completely lossless.
In other words, if you adjust an mp3 by -6 dB and then change your mind, you
can adjust it again by +6 dB and it will be exactly the same as it was
before you made the first adjustment.

Here's the technical reason why it's lossless, and also why the smallest
change possible is 1.5 dB:

The mp3 format stores the sound information in small chunks called frames.
Each frame represents a fraction of a second of sound. In each frame there
is a global gain field. This field is an 8-bit integer (so its value can
be a whole number from 0 to 255).

When an mp3 player decodes the sound in the frame, it uses the global gain
field to multiply the decoded sound samples by 2(gain / 4).

So if you add 1 to this gain field in all the frames in the mp3, you
effectively multiply the amplitude of the whole file by 2(1/4) = 119% = +1.5
dB.

Likewise, if you subtract 1 from the global gain, you multiply the amplitude
by 2(-1/4) = 84% = -1.5 dB.

 There is a program called mp3-gain which you can google for.  It allows
 you to pick at what db value to raise or lower your mp3s and it does it
 for you without losing quality.  A good setting for some is 92 db and
 for other 9it's 95 db.  Most cds made in the 80's are recorded at 89 db
 and so if you listen to one from that time and then pop in a cd which
 came out in the last few years you definitely notice a difference.
 mp3-gain is great for this  reason.

Re: XEN MP3 PLAYERS

2005-03-05 Thread Kevin Lloyd
Hi Andre.

Sounds like you're talking about the Creative Zen.  The Creative players are
very accessible when hooked up to your computer and using notmad explorer to
transfer your music and build playlists.  It really depends on how much you
want to do with the player when it's not connected that will determine how
user friendly you find it.

I have a Creative jukebox 2 and tend to build the playlists when it's
connected to my computer and then just start the playlist when I take the
jukebox away so I'm not doing a lot of searching through the loaded files.
Doing this is very straightforward so no real accessibility issues.

Re: ripping four track tapes to mp3 format

2005-03-05 Thread Larry N
Sun Sparkle, I'm coming into this discussion late, so please forgive any 
advice that repeats what you've already heard. I would do this by patching 
my 4 track tape player into a receiver or mixer and patching the receiver or 
mixer into the back of the computer. That would not only permit me to hear 
and transfer both channels but it would allow me to adjust things like bass, 
trebel and balance to my liking. It would also permit me to use just about 
any accessible recording software to transfer the files to MP3. Also, if I 
wanted, I could use something like Goldwave or DC6 to remove tape hiss and 
other anomalies. Transferring audio from records and tapes to CD for people 
is what I do for a living and that is how I would handle your project.If I 
can be of more help, please feel free to contact me on or off list.

mp3
stereo?

You could use a patch cord with 2 rca pins on one end and a standard
earplug
jack on the other.  The earplug jack goes into the computer, and the rca
pins go into the outputs of the tape machine.  After that, you will need
either Goldwave, Sound Forge, or a similar program which will let you 
flip
the 3 and 4 tracks which will be recorded backwards.  You could use a
standard NLS-type machine, but it should have a line-out.  If you use 
one
of
these, since it's not stereo, you will be able to avoid flipping tracks 
3
and 4, but you will have to record each track separately which will add 
to
the time.  The recording software should be able to make the mp3s to 
your
requirements.

Subject: ripping four track tapes to mp3 format

Hi all!
I have some cassette tapes that I'd like to transfer over to my 
computer.
I
need to know exactly what kind of hardware and software I'll need to do
this. Do I need a special tape player or just a patch cord? I heard that
goldwave can be used to do the actual ripping, but is there something 
else
that might work better? If someone could send me a list of what I'll 
need
along with detailed instructions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Allison

Re: Sound cards

2005-03-05 Thread Larry N
Jerry, I'll accept your invitation with many thanks. First, how does one go 
about installing a second sound card. Second, how do I go about assigning my 
2 screen readers and basic computer sounds to one card, while assigning 
audio from all other sources to a second card. The cards in question are 
Sound Blaster Live and Sound Blaster Audigy.
s
It is my impression that some group members have grown tired of this topic. 
So please feel free to contact me off list.

Re: converting wav files to mp3 files

2005-03-05 Thread Kevin Lloyd
Hi Jonathan.

You don't actually need to use that graphic.  Simply tab to the edit field
that holds the name of the folder where your music is and press enter.  This
will open the browse menu.

 I just used the Jaws auto graphics labeler to help Jaws recognize the dot
 button.  In order to do this place the Jaws cursor on the dot button
and
 press control insert g to activate the auto graphics labeler.  When the
 labeler is done the first button in the tab list should say something like
 c:\ProgramFiles\CDEX or something like that.  When you press enter on
that
 button it will open the browse dialogue box.  The button will now show up
as
 a standard button within the dialogue box.  This means that you will be
able
 to tab to it like any other button in the dialogue box.
   If you have any questions about this you can write me off the list and I
 will do my best to help you.

  Hi Fred,
  You don't have to go to the folder that stores the ripped files.
  If you select convert, from the menus and then choose, wave to mp3, or
  compressed,
  then you will get a  browse dialogue, where you can choose files you
have
  in
  another location.

  Subject: Re: converting wav files to mp3 files
 
 
  First off I apologize for not getting back to the list last night but
I'm
  old and sleep just creeped in and knocked me out.
 
 
 
  The first thing you have to do is move or copy the wav file to the CDEX
  folder where the program normally saves your ripped files. In my case I
go
  to C:\ Programs\CDEX\My Music.
 
 
 
  That's where my files are saved by CDEX by default.
 
 
 
  After pasting the file there, Backspace to go back to the previous list
of
  files in CDEX. Press ENTER on the CDEX.exe to launch the CDEX program.
  *Press F11. You will be placed in a dialog box where you can tell CDEX
to
  delete the original wav file or not, by tabbing through this dialog box
  and
  using check marks. You can also tell CDEX to normalize the file as it
  converts it.
 
 
 
  Keep tabbing past the Convert button and you will be placed in a list of
  all
  the wav files in the folder where your ripped files are saved. Only the
  wav
  files will be there, including the one you pasted there. Select the ones
  you
  want to convert and tab back to the Convert button and press Enter.
 
 
 
  This will place you in  another dialog box where you will be given some
  information about what's going on. In my case I turn on the JAWS cursor
  and
  arrow up through the dialog box and am able to find out exactly what is
  going on, how much time is left, percentage completed etc.
 
 
 
  When the conversion is complete you will be placed back in the CDEX main
  window again.
 
 
 
  To go back to the converted file simply go back to where the ripped
folder
  and the file will be there but it will be a mp3 file instead of a wav
  file.
  If you checked the delete original wav file that file will no longer be
  there. But if you didn't check that box the original wav file will still
  be
  there and if you're satisfied with the mp3 file you can delete the wav
  file
  manually.
 
 
 
  *Note: instead of using the F11 key to start the process you can go to
the
  convert menu and arrow down to the convert from wav to compressed file
  and
  press ENTER.
 
 
 
  Attached is the text of this process in MS Word

  That's not true. You can convert wav files that are already on your
  computer to mp3 and even actually have CDEX delete the original wav
file
  or keep it if you desire. if you would like instructions just e-mail
me
  off list and I'll do my best to create a step by step of how to do
this.
  I'm asuming that you use a screen reader as I am. I am using JAWS. but
  it
  will work just as well with any reader you happen to have.-

Re: ripping four track tapes to mp3 format

2005-03-05 Thread fenderwal
   Couldn't you just plug into the sound card's microphone input, which is 
a mono jack, instead of the line input, which is a stereo jack?  Keep your 
tape player output levels down and switch the source to microphone and do it 
that way?

Re: i'm also needing total recorder help

There is another way to solve this problem and that is to buy a hardware 
speech synthesizer.  Not a cheap solution but it would solve this problem.

Hi,
I use emule version 0.44d, and it works fine for me. 
Admittedly I have to use the mouse keys a little but not sweat.
Using w.e. 4.5 xp pro sp2
Some hot keys are alt s, search page, tabbing around the search page
should work to get to the edit field and type of file etc.
Alt t get you to the transfers page, alt p takes you to preferences.
