RE: Electro Static Headphones

[John Gurd]

I think I had the same Stax Electrostatics as Mary. I hope it's not the same
these days, but back then the big disadvantage was that over time the moving
plates acquired a charge and would need replaced as they became less
effective. It was expensive so I had to sell them after only about 6 months
or so.

A long time ago, like probably 30 years, I had a pair of Stax
electrostatics. They were pricy; I don't remember how much, but certainly
nowhere near a thousand. Then again, that was 30 years ago.
Yes, they did require a special amp. They even had a special connector that
plugged into the amp that came with the phones. And these phones were just
wonderful, except for those who want major bass. For folk and classical,
they were amazing! And they were light and quite comfortable, but of course,
they wouldn't have worked on a pc or a portable device, due to the special
connections and power requirements.
I didn't even know they made electrostatics any more.

Thanks for mentioning these cans, I can't see any reason why I shouldn't buy a 
pair given that they come in at around $360 in various places I've found with 
Google, would be good to have a nice sounding spare pair as seconds to the B 
P7'S we've been discussing over the last few days.

They're open backed so they won't sound quite the same as the B P7's

This B set even give my Senheiser reference set I've had for 10 years a good 
run for their money, you can hear the audible difference.

The P7's are the best I've heard particularly in their price range, no emphasis 
on any particular part of the audio frequency spectrum, if there's music to be 
played or spoken word to be heard then that's what you're going to enjoy, the

The P7’S are built from stainless steel and other metals with a touch of

Recording from Skype

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,

 

I believe someone once mentioned that one could use Total Recorder to record
a skype session.  I think that when I tried it, it only recorded the other
person and not both of us.

Is there a good way or program to record a Skype session?  I'm taking a few
lessons and want to take advantage of recording them.

 

If Total Recorder is indeed an option, then how would I modify to where both
of us could appear on the recording?

 

Thanks!

Jim

 

Re: Recording from Skype

[Jesse Tregarthen]

Hello,

I use the MX Skype recorder. It is very easy to use and can be set up
to automatically record Skype conversations if you want. The trial
only lets you record for 5 minutes, though. The paid versions cost
$29.00 US and $40.00 US. The website is www.skyperec.com. Hope this
helps. Best,
Jesse

Okay, here’s the third Podcast I recorded on the Sangean ATS-909X Multi Band 
World Receiver, Tome who also owns one of these is on the line in the recording 
I made from Skype, he’s not using Skype rather he’s using a standard Telephone 
connected to the PSTN network as you’ll hear but nevertheless the results are 
pretty good - an outstanding achievement when I recall 3 years ago, my Network 
was nowhere near as fast or stable then than it is now but I again digress.

Not bad, not bad at all! I’ll certainly buy this software, its very accessible

I did change a few settings - I prefer to record using PCM and the software 
records using MP3 by default -, the settings are easy enough to get to so no

Re: Recording from Skype

[Dane Trethowan]

Yep, think the people at Total Recorder need to update their Recording 
Internet Telephony primer, that was written some time ago it seems, 
perhaps the people at High Criteria just don't care any more.


As far as I go recording skype? Well I'm an old hand you might say, I 
use Audio Hijack on my Mac to do the job and I have an Apple Script 
which automates the whole task, make or receive a call and the recording 
starts, I can switch to "Manual" mode so that I can start/pause/stop 
recording during a Skype call at the press of a hotkey.


I'll fish out a sample of what the recording sounds like, did an 
interview with someone for one of the Podcast episodes I did 3 years ago 
I think it was, the Podcast was one of three Podcasts dealing with the 
excellent Sangean ATS-909X World Band Radio, I'll let the list know when 
the sample is available though - now that I've mentioned the Podcasts 
themselves - I may as well make all three available .

soundplant

Hey guys. I think this was brought up a while ago but I can't remember.

I am trying to use this program called sound plant which is a keyboard
trigger device so you can use as a sampler or anything that requires playing
with sounds quickly. 

It looks like the only way to use it would be to edit the key map file
manually because the whole window is pretty graphical.

Anybody have any tips or experiences with this software?

Re: AKG Q701 Headphones

I know they call these open back, but they are sure not like other open

These have a large over the ear cushioned ear cup, if you want to call
it that. The ear piece is larger than the p7. I guess I don't
understand what open back means, because I sould not have called these
that.

 Epic dude! Well I guess you kind of answered my question. I was going to 
 ask about the hi end sounds. Yes here we go again. Lol! Would 1 hear the 
 wistle to Godzilla 98 real crisp and clear? Seriously it's real rare the 
 speaker or headphone that can do it and do it well. This is why it blows 
 my mind that Sony TVs aren't as crisp as Samsung. Like, what the heck? But 
 I digress. Seriously dude. Also real crispness to the high end is usefull 
 for other things. It makes things real sharp and clear. Well for me 
 anyways. I just bring Zilla up always because that's 1 instance where it 
 gets real tricky. Either you do it well or it's meh. It's that particular 
 that wistling sound to it's roar is.

 Luxury Looks, Feel, Build And Sound
 
 And that’s exactly what the B P7 offer and a reasonably affordable price 
 particularly if you’re in the u.S. Where I’m told these cans can be yours 
 for under $300.
 The P7’S are built from stainless steel and other metals with a touch of 
 leather plus leather ear cuffs, the cuffs are attached to the frame 
 magnetically and replacements are available should they be needed.
 These cans are designed with portable/travel use in mind given the fold 
 away design and the quilted leather carrying case as part of the system 
 but they do come with a 6.5MM adapter for conventional stereo systems 
 along with 2 cables, one is for use with a mobile handset and the other is 
 the conventional stereo type 3.5MM jack type cable.
 The cable for mobile handsets has an inline control for answering calls, 
 volume up/down, volume up/down and a microphone.
 On hearing the headphones I was shocked, it sounded as though I was 
 listening to a 30 inch sub woofer in a room along with silky high 
 tweeters, it took me a few moments to realise that I was in fact listening 
 to a pair of very nice cans and then it all clicked into place, we’re 
 talking about a B product after all.
 I have only one complaint about these headphones, the cable could be 
 longer however I do appreciate that the phones are designed for portable 
 use and if I want a longer cable then its just a matter of plugging in an 
 extension.
 Speaking of the cable, swapping or replacement of same is easily down by 
 removing the left ear cuff, unplugging one cable, plugging in another and 
 

Another goldwave question

[covici]

Hi.  I have found something very strange in goldwave -- I had a small
selection of about a second and hit f3 and it kept right on going, but
then I hit control left bracket and after that f3 just played the
selection -- what am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
