Adjusting volume in Total Recorder?
Hello everyone. Please can anyone tell me if there is a way of adjusting the volume of things in Total Recorder? I am asking because I have got Software and Soundboard selected, can record computer fine. But my microphone is really quiet! I have set my microphone to 100%, so think there is something wrong in Total Recorder. Done a test with it and shared it with my friend and one member of this list, Christopher Hallsworth. By the way got the Digital Mixer Add-on installed, so this is why I can select Software and soundboard. Keyboard shortcuts welcome, as I'm blind. The help isn't very good. Many thanks, any responses really appreciated.

Re: Adjusting volume in Total Recorder?
Gary, just to say the help is very good but is very comprehensive which may not suit you and anyone else. But it does suit me. Anyway, putting that aside, do you have a boost setting in your microphone's volume. If so have a play with that and see how you get on. Mine has a boost control so should yours since we are using the same sound chip, the Intel Hd Audio and we are both using the drivers that are shipped with Windows 7. Good luck.

Re: Mac Versus Windows
Vicky, I think it would depend on what program was used to create the documents and what you wanted to do with the documents on each platform. From what I understand, MS Office doesn't work on the Mac, but there are programs that can read documents created by MS Word. What I'm not sure about is whether these programs can modify documents and retain all of the formatting. The one thing I haven't heard when listening to the many demonstrations of the Mac is someone doing office work, i.e., performing complex tasks like mail merge, creating and navigating tables and using styles in formatting documents. The only problem I can see with music is that you might need to do some format conversion if some formats are not directly supported.

Re: Mac Versus Windows
Hello Vicki, As you say, Itunes on both systems shouldn't present a problem. Pages is a word processor for the mac, and will read, and save documents back in to word format. You would use numbers, as a spreadsheet package if you want, it's fairly accessible I believe, although completely different from excel for example. VLC media player works on both systems. We haven't really scratched the surface, but good luck in the new enterprise. regards, Joe To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Question About Free You Tube Converter
You can use the free program Freemake Video Converter which is available at: www.freemake.com You copy the link of the Youtube page then go to the opened program. Next go to the edit menu and the only thing there is paste so enter on that. Next go to the convert menu and choose which format to save the video or audio. A dialog will come up. You can set presets or change presets then tab to ... and enter to select where to save the file. then tab to convert and hit enter. You may get some warnings or alerts. I don't know what these say since jaws won't read them. sometimes you will be able to download the Youtube but some of the videos are blocked. so if you get a warning or alert try a few more times to make sure if you can download it or not.

Hello Dean and list: Thanks for the instructions as to which menus to go in Freemake Video; now then..could you give us (mainly me) a more precise direction as to how to accomplish the where to go? I got to where I needed to be ; even converted a couple of You Tube videos to MP3, but couldn't tell you how I got there! Part of the problem is my computer (it tends to want to be a little slow and not respond immediately to commands that I issue! I would also like to know if this program will allow one to actually save the You Tube video and all? Converting to MP3 is fine and I'll find applications where that may be all I want; just the audio! But which is the best way to convert if I want video as well as audio?

Re: Mac Versus Windows
Say, while we are stretching the bounds of the list topic, can anybody briefly tell me about any OCR programs for the Mac that are comparable to Openbook or Kurzweil for use by the blind. I'm sure there are programs that will scan and convert to text, but what I'm really concerned about is convenience of page orientation, columnization etc. I looked at the page that Dane suggested, but at first glance, I didn't see anything about OCR. Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated, and you can send privately if that would be more appropriate to discussion.

Re: Mac Versus Windows
Well, I'm not sure how much talking about accessing music files on both a Windows PC and a Mac are stretching the list topic, since it seems pretty on topic to me, but asking about an OCR application on a Mac doesn't seem to have anything to do with this list at all. That's just my $0.02. It might be best if you ask this question on a Mac list.

Re: Mac Versus Windows
OK now, just to set the record straight, someone was asking about using MSOffice on the Mac, and that was what I was referencing. You are definitely right, audio and music questions are very much on topic. I didn't want to add to what I thought might be a continuation of the subject of word processors and the like by asking the question I did, however, I thought with the set of Mac users on this list, that someone might reply to my query in private and direct me to a web site where I might find out what I wanted to know, or even better, about any experience they had using such programs with a Mac. I really don't want to have to go to the trouble of subscribing to another list, just to have such a question dealt with, especially since I specified private communication on the matter. I am not a Mac user at present, but was thinking of possibly making the switch as soon as I have enough cash on hand to give it serious consideration.

Freemake Video Converter and Youtube
First you must get the URL of the Youtube video you want. I have five e-mails which each has one link to a video. I used the append to clipboard to have all five links on my clipboard. If you are not comfortable with this or don't know how to do this, you could open a text editor and copy and paste each URL into the text editor. Here are my links: http://www.youtube.com/user/fourtwelvevideos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNuQbJst4Lk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32-k2_VLq_M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsl6YXHdWnE http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1v=PcwGrzA8Cj4feature=endscreen If you have them all on your clipboard you can go to your previously opened Freemake Video Converter. If you copy them to a text editor just select all and copy with control + c then tab to your previously opened Freemake Video Converter. Hit alt Arrow over to edit Paste will be the only item on that menu so hit enter. This pastes the links into the program. Hit alt arrow over to convert menu Down arrow to the format you want to save the file in. If you only want the audio arrow down to mp3. If you want the video then choose one of the video formats in the menu. I have chosen mp3 so that is what I entered on in the convert menu A dialog will come up. the first thing you hear is mp3 output parameters Tab once and you will find a combo box and it will say custom. Tab again and there is a button to create a preset. If you like to use presets you can go through the dialog for each preset you wish to create. but I don't use presets. I just edit the custom preset that is there. So I tab one more time to edit preset Another dialog will open and you will hear mp3 preset editor Tab once and you will hear custom which is what I use so tab again Here is a combo box to choose the bit rate of your file. You can up and down arrow through the combo box to find the bit rate you would like. Youtube videos aren't usually that great so you don't need a high bit rate. I will set mine at 128 kbps Tab again and you can choose but I usually leave this at 44,100 hz Tab again and there is a combo box where you can choose between mono and stereo by arrowing up and down the next time you tab jaws doesn't say anything so I don't know if anything is there or not so tab once more to the OK button and hit enter. You will end back at your original dialog at edit preset. Tab again and there is a button to delete a preset so tab again The next two tabs jaws speaks nothing so I don't know if anything is there or not. Tab to the button that says ... and hit enter Another dialog will open up. This is a tree view just like My Computer or Windows Explorer. so arrow through the tree view to find a folder you would like your mp3 to end up in. Once you have chosen a folder tab twice to the OK button and hit enter. You will be returned to the top of the original dialog. Tab all the way through the dialog. If you would like your files to show up in iTunes then check the checkbox near the end of the dialog. Check the box by hitting the spacebar. Tab to the convert button and hit enter. The program will let you know the percentage of the work that has been done. When it is through a window will come up that says success. Hit alt + f4 to close this window. Tab to the program and it will also let you know the work is finished. Hit alt + f4 to get back to the program. when I checked the folder I saved the files into I found that it only saved three out of the five files. so I will have to check the links again and try to download the other two to make sure they are not being blocked by Youtube. some files are blocked so they cannot be saved. I hope this was helpful. Dean To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Freemake Video Converter and Youtube
Hello Dean and list: Thanks for taking the time to write this out for us who want to use Freemake; it should be most helpful and I am keeping this in hopes to make the next experience with the program easier! One more question: if I want video as well as audio, which would be the best choice to use as far as that list is concerned? You said if we just want audio, we want MP3. But I gather that for video that there are several choices?
