RE: Total Recorder various versions

2010-01-05 Thread Joe Paton

David,

I aggree, unless you want to do what total recorder calls background 
recording.  I don't think GW does that.  The TR scheduler may do more 
remote recording than GW but that's for others to enlarge 
upon.   You'd really need to do a side by side comparison, features 
and accessibility et cetera.  It's true that GW have taken 
accessibility as a priority and there's good JFW and wineyes support 
for it..  Doesn't mean that TR isn't as accessible out of the box, I 
don't know but I doubt it.






speak soon.

VBR encoding with MP3

2010-01-05 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi everyone!

Okay, had quite a few messages about VBR and various settings ot use 
after some recent discussions on this list so I've knocked up a few 
notes thanks to the help of my friend who is an audio engineer by trade 
so he should know what he's talking about here, I've quoted from him on 
this list before when we had the discussion on VBR bit rates.


We're going to deal specifically here with the "lame-enc.dll" encoder 
which is handled by many pieces of software including Total Recorder and 
easy CD Extractor however many pieces of software - including the titles 
mentioned - do not for whatever reason offer the full functionality of 
the library which is a pity so for best results it is recommended that 
you use something like Exact Audio Copy with lame.exe which will accept 
full and customisable LAME command lines but that discussion is for a 
different thread .


So to the basics, go into the configuration screen for your format and 
select VBR, where possible select the "Old VBR" method rather than the 
new, old is slower but gives better quality results whereas new is 
faster but quality isn't quite as good, great for getting jobs out the 
door quickly though.  Next set minimum and maximum bit rates, set 
minimum as low and maximum as high as can be obtained, Total Recorder 
and Easy CD Extractor only let you set minimum bit rates to 32K, library 
will go as low as 8k, hence my mention of the command line earlier to 
get those extra tweaks.


Next select joint stereo, Easy CD Extractor allows you to select this 
but Total Recorder does not so you'll have to rely on the stereo setting.


Turn all filtering and auto sampling off and select a sampling rate of 
44.1KHZ, will work well for most jobs including CD'S.


Next set absolute quality to the highest setting you can get, only 4 
settings offered in Easy CD Extractor and 5 in Total Recorder and these 
do not make any reference to the actual quality setting of the encoder 
which has 10 quality settings so use the highest available but note that 
you'll get better results from a command line.


Next set VBR settings and remember the lower the number here the better 
the quality, 5 should do for music but you could try 3 if you're really 
fussy, if you do anything lower than may as well use "lossless" 
compression and throw MP3 out the window.  6 or 7 should do very well 
for general audio such as spoken material, documentaries, talking books 
and the like.


So that should be about it I think, remember in all these pieces of 
software you can save different settings to different files to enable 
you to switch between them depending on the jobs you're doing.


Cheers

Hi Bret and others who have set me suggestions as to how I could

I think the multitrack recorder/player, is what will work for me.

This might be a stupid answer. At least a nontechnical one.
1 John Denver has put out several acoustic versions of his songs.
2 If you are internet savi u can find chord files for guitar. This is 
similar to tabliture files but only has chords. It can be a process 
but the chords can be read by your screen reader or if you're lucky 
enough to have a braille printer or display you can read the chords.

I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself.
Anyway a couple of work arounds i thought might help.

No, because what you have is a final compressed track. if you can 
get your hands on the master recording then you wil have that 
option. with equalization you can enhance certain instruments based 
on how much that track was in the fore front.

Is it possible to either be able to listen to or record just the 
voice and guitar from my CDS of John Denver?  I feel I could do a 
much better job of picking out songs, if I wasn't distracted by 
other instruments.
