RE: Editing WAV file with Goldwave

[Humberto Rodriguez]

Hello Andy:

The [ key is to the right of the P and the ] the next one to the right.  You
could see what is selected before erasing it, if memory serves the keystroke
for it is Control [, if not, possibly Alt [ but at any rate, you can verify
it with Insert-H.

Subject: Editing WAV file with Goldwave

Hi again all.

I would have sent this request to the Goldwave list, of which I am a member,
but have lost their email address.

But this enquiry is also very much a PC Audio question and I'm sure there
are members who could put me straight.

I recorded my local quire using my Zoom and ended up with a large WAV file.

I know how to chop it up into tracks using GW, but, and I need to be honest
here, I was rather drunk when I was recording the concert and sitting too
closely to my tripod, so this lovely recording is runed by the loud shouting
and clapping from a drunk and I want to cut, me, out!

I've got a copy of John Wilsons book concerning goldwave editing commands
and what it says is place a left bracket at the start of the offending piece
of recording and then a right bracket, at the end of it and then simply
press the delete key and the offensive material should be deleted.

Problem is when I do this I delete all of the file completely.


I cannot find the left or right bracket keys on my keyboard, but I have
found the left and right perin keys.  Are they not the same thing guys or am
I missing something?

Any advice with this one would be fantastic as I really did mess up much of
the recording with my enthusiasm and apart from my audio presence, the
recording turned out rather very nice.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

I once was informed my echo dot had an update pleas wait it did it's 
thing I can't say I noticed any difference.

Yep good question and I'm not exactly sure of the answer either.

One thing I can certainly tell you is that updates are downloaded
automatically but I don't think you're notified when your device is
updating or has updated.

I'm sure I've seen an Update Firmware link on the Amazon Echo home page
somewhere too.

One thing that isn't clear to me is whether you can force an echo
device to look for an update, and if so, how. I have the original
amazon echo, and I've never bothered to look into this question; I just
figured updates would come when they came, but how to know if you have
actually received one?

That's convenient for a lot of people obviously.

I have to admit that the idea for me would be a little annoying given 
the size of the main device and it would only be bigger with a battery 
base in toe.

You can't attach a battery to the big echo as far as I know.

Interesting!
The big Echo - unlike the other two - doesn't have a USB socket, just a 
main power socket wich I'm assuming takes a higher voltage.

Re: Echo Tap initial impressions

[Fanus]

Hello Dane
Sorry for my ignorance but what is the echo tab. Can one only use it if one has 
an Alexa?

I think the first thing that struck me about the Echo Tap was how well 
it prejects sound about a room given the size of the device which is 
smaller than the Amazon Echo itself.

I have the Tap sitting on the kitchen table now where I can clearly hear 
it even at very low volume, I'm in the lounge area which goes through to 
the kitchen.

The first thing I did with Tap was to take it outside to enjoy the 
sunshine and listen to the BBC Radio 4 Midnight news.

I would stress that this device - whilst not the best for music - does 
the spoken word proud indeed! clearly audible and understandable.

By all means, listen to your music on the go with Tap but its nothing 
compared to other systems around and neither we should expect it to be 
at the price paid for a Tap.

I'd be most interested to hear comments from other Tap users.

I intend to use the Tap mainly for listening to Talking Books and Radio 
though of course! there's no reason why I can't use it for much much 
more with Alexa.

I haven't seen any mention of the Hands Free update we've been 
discussing yet so perhaps its not available everywhere at this time.

Re: Amazon Echo Alexa

[Dane Trethowan]

Yep, you've the right idea.

Let's say I wanted it to play the album blue by Joni Mitchell, what's
the sintax? is it play album blue by Joni Mitchell or what? I assume
amazon has quite a bit of music...
I'm a classical fan as is she so we'll be doing quite a bit of sintax

Something else for everyone to try who owns an Echo Tap - if you haven't
tried this already. -

Say to Tap "Current Battery Status" and Alexa will tell you the battery
status remaining in a percentage.

Ok, thanks. I have a ue megaboom, and a Oontse probably spelled wrong,
from Cambridge sound works. The megaboom is a lot more expensive at
retail, of course, and I like the sound, especially outside. I wasn't
at all interested in the Tap until this update came out. That seems to
make it much more useful. But I suppose, given that I have other
choices, it will be tough to justify the purchase of yet another
portable speaker.
