Re: an interesting signal level problem

Only thing I can think of is if you go into the dialog where the max is,
is the level set to 0?  Also, what does the get peak level dialog say?

Re: an interesting signal level problem

2013-04-30 Thread Joe Giovanelli
Hello again,

I went through the Tools group and did not find anything about matching volume 
or maximum volume. I have the cd Reader, Expression Evaluater, File Merger, 
Control, and perhaps something else.

The version of Goldwave I'm running is 5.58.

This is the last version I can use without moving to Windows 7 or 8. I do not 
use my PC for very much except to do work with cd's and to download a few 
things from the net. At this point in my life I do not need nor expect to do 
much more complicated things.

Do I dare wonder if there's anything more for me to do?

 match volume option if you select the entire file you can tab through and 
 find the rms levels for the left and right channels of that file which will 
 show hyou the average volume level. Under the maximize option you will find 
 the highest peak in the file which will be expressed in db along with the

motherboard with good onboard audio

2013-04-30 Thread Joe
Hi. The subject asks the question. Is it possible to get a computer with good 
onboard audio? The last PC I built in 2008 has an Intel DG41RQ MOTHERBOARD THAT 
BOASTS OF HIGH DEFINITION audio but its far from that. Even at 100 percent I 
can't get a good level. I've tried several microphones so I don't think the mic 
is the problem. Are they're any computers out there either pree built or home 
built that have good level audio? or is it always better to just get an 
external sound card and forget about on board audio. Thanks. Joe.

Yeah, external maybe better. Even PCIE like the Sound Blaster ones would do
perhaps. Now if like me you want to really go high end, then a pro sound
card or in fancy turms an Audio Interface would be best. I so want the Sound
Devices USB Pre2. Thing is, it's $600. But if you've heard the few
recordings Neal Ewers has made on BCT on his Sound Devices 744-T recorder,
then you know it's well worth it. I just don't have the $600 at hand. By the
way, even something like an LS-100 or a Zoom H4-N would be good to. Pluss,

Yeah, my PC is 7 years old too. The reason I care about this kind of thing
is I want to go Pro audio. So for me like I stated before even using
Olympus's LS-100 recorder might do for me. But the one I'd really like is
the Sound-devices USB Pre2. Heck I wish Sound Devices would make there new
$6000 788-T recorder an Audio Interface. Then you can easily do full 7.1
surround sound recording with SF Pro at full 192 KHZ 24 Bit LPCM WAV. Is
that cool or what? Well, since it cann't be done, wouldn't htat be so cool?

Ah yeah. I don't know about that. Perhaps Neal might. But here's the other
thing though. As far as I know, all the multitrack stuff isn't too
accessible. I know someone on this here list did it once, but it doesn't
talk. So, if you can deal with that like Neal can, and like that person can,
then yeah maybe. I want one for the quality. I don't think I'd use the
multitrack thing that much though. On something like the Sound Devices 788-T
I might though. That thing has 8 XLR plugs. So you can use 8 mikes. Import
those into Pro Tools, and you can create 7.1 surround files. Yeah, I'm into
7.1 surround sound. I love surround sound. But yeah. The problem with all
the Sound Devices stuff though is it doesn't talk. I can't deal with it like
Neal can. I'd get lost. I'd have to have some one set it up for me and then
just forget about it. But yeah, back to the LS-100. I like it well enough,
and I do want one, but it's just for the sound quality, and full LPCM 96 KHZ
24 bit. The sound devices goes the next step up in sample rate though, they
do 192 thousand KHZ. That's way cool.

What does the focusrite scarlett 2i4 sound like? Can you send me a sample of
it to hamitcam...@gmail.com? Thanks.

Yes, I got the focusrite scarlett 2i4 card, and that also dubbles as a midi
interface, very good and really outstanding. I am considering the
ls100 as I get to much latency at the moment and I couldn't solve that yet,
but I have a problem, I am scaired that once I bounce tracks on that
recorder that I won't be able to export everything in one file, because
after you have done 8 tracks you must bounce them in order to make new space
available and to emty the tracks. And the other thing is I am not sure if
you would be able to open that project in audacity or sonar, I mean I don't
no wich format the ls100 save its projects. I also don't no if you can
overdub on one track a few times.

 Yeah, external maybe better. Even PCIE like the Sound Blaster ones 
 would do perhaps. Now if like me you want to really go high end, then 
 a pro sound card or in fancy turms an Audio Interface would be best. I 
 so want the Sound Devices USB Pre2. Thing is, it's $600. But if you've 
 heard the few recordings Neal Ewers has made on BCT on his Sound 
 Devices 744-T recorder, then you know it's well worth it. I just don't 
 have the $600 at hand. By the way, even something like an LS-100 or a 
 Zoom H4-N would be good to. Pluss, theres are stand alone recordes too 
 so you aren't always strapped to the PC if you don't want to be.

 Subject: motherboard with good onboard audio

 Hi. The subject asks the question. Is it possible to get a computer 
 with good onboard audio? The last PC I built in 2008 has an Intel 
 DG41RQ MOTHERBOARD THAT BOASTS OF HIGH DEFINITION audio but its far from
that.
 Even
 at 100 percent I can't get a good level. I've tried several 
 microphones so I don't think the mic is the problem. Are they're any 
 computers out there either pree built or home built that have good 
 level audio? or is it always better to just get an external sound card 
 and forget about on board audio.
 Thanks. Joe.

I'm told the alan heath mixer can also double as an external soundcard, 
because it also has a USB port.

Hi all,

You guys have peaked my intrest here with this thread.  I am interested in 
starting up my own radio broadcast show using shoutcast.  Right now, I 
have a four year old toshiba laptop I was thinkiing of increasing the ram 
in from three gbs to eight gbs.  I am in the market for something like a 
Maci pro mixer or an Allen Heath.  I'm leaning towards the Allen Heath 
mixer right now.  But I will be needing some sort of effects processor as 
well.  My question is:  should I look into an external sound card too?


Thanks,

John

Yeah, I've heard this about one too. I don't know which one we're talking
about here. I think a mixer might be a bit too much for me though. But I do
want or would love to have 8 XLR connectors. That's why I love the
Sound-devices 788-T recorder.

You know, I believe the Maci Pro can do the same as It too has a usb 
output.  The ones I have been looking at are both under $250.00 each.
