GoldWave and the clipboard.
Greetings, Using GoldWave v5.58, having been working for quite a long time with several files, many opens, closes, pastings, copyings and the like. I went to place sound at the end of a file by ctrl-f having saved the original from another file by ctrl-c, discovered I did not get the sound I expected, but the sound I had **previously** processed in a similar way. I tried this several times with the same result so in the end, closed all and reopened and, yet again, the same problem. In the end, I opened the file from which I wished to copy, copied the sound to a new file, opened the file onto the end of which I wished to place the sound, cut it's content onto the clipboard then by using ctrl-v thus putting the longer file infront of the shorter, achieved my objective. Any ideas why this happened? Was my system groaning with too much copying and pasting and cutting and so on? In my can't remember where, I've my GoldWave settings at up to 20 undos, might this be my problem? From Colin Howard, who lives near Southampton in Southern England.

Please can anybody advise me?
Greetings, In the UK, we have community radio stations and in my area, there is one called Angel radio, based on the Isle of wight just off the south coast. The station plays music directed towards whom they term the more mature listener, basically, very little released beyond the date of 1960, regarding listeners of fifty or more as mature. One of the programs is a rock'n'roll show, on at mid day our time Wednesdays, it is run by whom my friend and I term the two old codgers! I am sending a link to this week's program and for comparrison, a different program which preceded it. I used total Recorder v8.1 so far as I know latest build to record it with record level set to 67 in .wav format, 24,000hertz mono, this works on most occasions. I started the recording just before the first program about Berl Ives and left it running until the rock'n'roll program had ended, no changes at any time. What I then did was separated the file into the programs using GoldWave v5.58 so far as I know, latest build. I converted it into .mp3 24,000hertz 64kbps. So, taking all these facts into consideration, can anybody please advise how I can sort out the levels in the rock'n'roll program? I culd do nothing about the music, it was recorded as broadcast, often being way over in the rock'n'roll program, but the voices are mostly well down. In the Berl Ives program, though it may have been slightly over, in general, it was much more consistent. Other live programs from the station are even when two presenters are on air, far better than this rock'n'roll program.

Re: Help with Goldwave scripts, please
Walter, Far as I know the version for GW V5.57 work with v5.58 but as yet, am still using v5.56. I understand the scripts are available from the BlindCoolTech site. It would be useful to know which operating system you have, since I exclusively use Windows XP Home, for which I paste in the following from a post I sent elsewhere a few days ago. How to use these scripts. Installation. 1. Open the folder into which you have unzipped the scripts. 2. Now do escape with control, p for programs, j for jaws, right arrow into the submenu and go down to the explore Jaws and right arrow into it's submenu. 3. Go down to the explore my settings and enter. 4. alt-tab into the folder into which you unzipped the GoldWave files and move them into the folder you opened under the explore my settings. 5. Close all these down. 6. Go into configuration manager which I assume you know how to do, you should be looking at the my settings folder when it asks you to open a file, you are looking for a file called goldwave.JSS so open it and compile as with any other file. 7. Close all saving the changes when closing the configuration manager or whatever it is which compiles scripts. 8. Open GoldWave and do Jaws key with Q which should announce GoldWave settings 5 are loaded application being used is Gwave.exe g w a v e . e x e job completed. Of course, you could move the .zip file into the appropriate folder and decompress it there, saves moving then.

Re: Strange Windows Media Thing
Greetings, I have come to this thread which started in May 2010 and note people have not included a couple of obvious facts. I've had the problem of a media stream continuing, after I've closed the player, so nowadays, when I wish to stop a stream, I do ctrl-s then close the player - works **every** time with WMP11. The other factor is, when over the listen link, whatever format it is, why not go into your applications menu to save target as and look to see the format in which the target is saved. If the extension is .ram, you know it's real player, if .asx media, .m3u .pls WinAmp. If it is an .htm extension, it is likely to be a proprietory player used by the station. Just a few thoughts.

Re: audio queueing was Re: Noise Reduction in Goldwave, I'm probably stating the very obvious
Greetings, I am copying this to friends not on the list (for their own information and possible comment). In my humble opinion, none of you have it right. firstly, the j, k, l functions were introduced in GW v5.25 it may have been in v5.22 but I jumped from v5.12 to v5.25 so am unsure. I've checked with a friend but they are unable to confirm if it was v5.22 or v5.23 both of which they used, but certainly before v5.25. Secondly, you are all skating round the markers problem. You can hear the sound when moving your markers if you do the following (Note I am using v5.56 here so it may not be exactly the same in v5.57 but I doubt it will be much different). 1. Press f11, you are now in the play tab within control properties. 2. tab to the item **after** the two winds, you will see by default this is set to 0.0. 3. If you set a value infront of the decimal point, as you move your start/end markers, you will hear however many seconds' worth of the sound you wish. If you place a value after the decimal point, you will hear the decimal part of a second whenever you move the start/end markers. I have mine set to 0.150, which means whenever I move my start/end markers, I hear 15 hundredths of a second. I played with values and find this to be about right. remember you hear it **whenever** you move either start or end marker, I do not know if it has effects anywhere else in the program. I reckon putting anything infront of the decimal point leads to confusion (but then, I am **very** easily confused). Note also, when making very fine adjustments, you will hear rather more than you actually delete or whatever, meaning in my case with 0.150, moving my start marker, I hear start marker to 15 hundredths of a second, moving my end marker, I hear 15 hundredths of a second up to my end marker. If you are, therefore, deleting, say a lip smack or a mouthy slurp, you will need to set your zoom level very very closely so as not to pick up surrounding sounds or remove ambience. this, I find, is often a fault with so-called professionals, they seem to forget how artificial removing breaths and/or ambient sounds such as room echo, make the results seem so unnatural. I've really only been aware of such things, since using digital editting; I started to notice them when editting on minidisk which I could do very precisely but nowhere so close as with digital editting programs. Well, I reckon I have waffled long enough for now so cheers. Colin Howard has sent you this from a small place about 8 miles east of Southampton in Southern England.

From: David Pardy pa...@waitrose.com Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 12:53:44 +0100 how about this for crazy litigation! http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/the-staggers/2010/08/legal-case-murdoch-claims-sky Rupert Murdoch claims to own the Sky in Skype Posted by George Eaton - 11 August 2010 09:38 The most absurd legal case of the year? Rupert Murdoch. Photograph: Getty Images. I have to confess that when I first heard the news that Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB had launched a legal challenge to Skype I thought April Fool's Day had come early, not least because the basis of the lawsuit is that the company claims to own the Sky in Skype. But it transpired that the case was genuine, and that BSkyB has been ensconced in a legal battle with Skype for the past five years. The news emerged only after a brief reference to the legal action in the 250-page document announcing Skype's Wall Street flotation. A spokesman for Sky said: The key contention in the dispute is that the brands 'Sky' and 'Skype' will be considered confusingly similar by members of the public. To which I can only reply that I have never linked the two and can't think of anyone who has. But it seems that the EU has upheld Sky's complaint and, should Skype lose its forthcoming appeal, the company may be forced to change its name. One wonders if others who have had the temerity to use the word sky in their work will now fall foul of the Dirty Digger. The Media Blog names some of those who may need to watch their back here. UPDATE: BSkyB has been in touch to point out that the dispute concerns several trademark applications filed by Skype, including, but not limited to, television-related goods and services. It's fair to say that were Skype's name to appear on a set-top box, Sky would have a better case. But I'm sure most people could make the distinction. Sky may claim its customer research suggests members of the public would be confused by the similarity, but the key question is this: did any of the people surveyed consider Sky and Skype similar before they were asked?

As you are in the UK, drop me a private message and I can help you set it up. audacity is another way, open-source, supposedly gree, some people like it but I've never managed to use it easily whereas totalRecorder, though not free, is very much more easy to use. totalRecorder can be used for line / microphone / capturing streams even when your sound card is being used by Jaws, depends how you set it up, but I can explain more privately with you, if you drop me a line, I will send you my phone number, I have free landline calls all day every day to 01, 02 and 03 numbers, as I am with TalkTalk and am using what I believe they call Package3.

I cannot remember the other settings but know the premium account allows files of up to 10gb to be uploaded / downloaded and there are several other account types too. There are also different download / upload speeds, the fastest is I believe 10megs per second down and 5megs per second up, dependent, of course, on your own system.

Re: GoldWave Version 5.57 is now Available
Greetings, The scripts for GW v5.57 sort of work but behave very oddly in a few ways. I wonder why it is f4 now accesses the third play not the first as it used to. By default, I note the first play is set to all, the second to selection (which i would expect) and the third to cursor to end. I read the help on these play settings and it says the third one is intended to play the non-selected item, so strange it did nothing when I opened a file, the start and finish markers being at the start and end of the file as I would expect, but f4 when I set the third play for selection, nothing! I would have thought because the start and end markers are at start and end of file, I ought to have had the file play from start to end. I will write to Jim and see if he is likely soon to update the scripts. I've not looked at the other settings as yet. -- Okay, I pulled the pin. Now what? Where are you going?

Re: Files at the same volume
Greetings, I have looked in my archives and found the following. I paste it in as is with **no** guarantees, I have downloaded the program and my system since then has been modified to a Kompak laptop and a desktop (model unknown as was built for me) on both machines WindowsXP Home, goldWave v5.55 (latest far as I know) and on this Kompak laptop Jaws10 on the desktop Jaws11. With this information, take from the text below, what is of interest to you, but please do **not** come back to me asking for more, what follows is all I know. Here is what comes up when I do alt with enter for file properties.

From: Darrell Shandrow n...@speakeasy.net Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 07:59:37 -0700 Hello Colin, The Levelator is a utility that makes the volume of audio within a Wave file constant. Levelator is very good in situations such as conference presentations or interviews where there are different people speaking at varying levels. The Levelator can ensure that all speakers are audible at approximately the same volume. The authors of the Levelator describe the tool as follows: One of our tools for audio engineers, The Levelator is free software that adjusts the levels within your program for variations from one speaker to the next. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. The people who wrote the Levelator did so explicitly for the purpose of quickly improving the audio quality of the IT Conversations (http://itconversations.com) and other podcasts they produce consisting largely of recorded conference presentations. Visit http://conversationsnetwork.org/levelator/ to learn more about Levelator, but do not download the program directly from The Conversations Network at this time. The currently available public release is not accessible for most blind screen reader users, as it requires use of drag-and-drop in order to locate and process Wave files. Instead, The Conversations Network has agreed to make the software more accessible. You may visit http://lorrain.pbwiki.com/f/LevelatorSetup.exe to download a private beta of the software. This is available with the usual play-at-your-own-risk caveats associated with pre-release code. The accessible version of the Levelator provides right click functionality as an alternative to drag-and-drop. Follow these steps to Levelate a Wave file: 1. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to locate a Wave file. 2. Press the Right Windows (Application or Context) key or Shift+F10 to right click the file. 3. Down arrow to Send To and press enter. 4. Down arrow to CN Levelator and press enter to start the process. 5. Press enter on the OK button. Don't worry about the version related error dialogue. 6. You can see a percentage of processing using your screen reader's review functionality. 7. Results are found in the same directory as a file with the same name as the original followed by .output.wav. Enjoy. Please send me an e-mail to edi...@blindaccessjournal.com with your constructive feedback so that the final product and future versions can be made even better.

Greetings, I am listening to the live segment from Wednesday, I am the friend to whom Dave from England referred when talking about the magazine we produce together for The Association of Visually-Impaired Office Staff, Dave could not quite remember which version of GoldWave I use. My system is an Evesham laptop running WindowsME and Jaws v5.10, the version of GoldWave I have is 5.12. I am interested to know when will the version of LevellLater be available and from where, which uses the new access as I'm not over keen on messing about with clicks, I just like simple enters and so on. Where will it be available from? Thanks for a very great program. Colin Howard - Nr. Southampton,
Re: keys don't work in goldwav
Greetings, What access software do you use? If Jaws, ensure you have the latest Jim Grimsbey scripts if WindowEyes, I assume there is a setfile so ensure you have the latest. Otherwise, no idea about access. Is it **all** cursor movement keys are not working? Please explain further exactly what the problem is as the checking of scrollock ought to cure the problem, it did for me. Why not write to Chris, sure he will help as he helped me.

Re: looking for a good stereo microphone to conduct podcast interviews
Greetings, I forgot to say the mic is about five inches long and easily held in the hand, it comes with the usual 3.5mm plugged into the usual 6.4mm adaptor so can be used in either format.

Re: Direct Link to total Recorder Standard was Re: Total Recorder Version 8.1 is Released
Greetings, Currently, I have Total Recorder v6.1 pro, not sure what the difference is between pro and standard, please can somebody explain the differences between pro and standard and, if applicable, any other versions? I may, if thought a good idea, jump straight for 8.1, I currently have WindowsXP home on a desktop and a Kompak laptop, both currently running v6.1 pro. My access software is Jaws v10 on the laptop and v11 on the desktop, so if there are any scripts, it would be helpful. I can use v6.1 pro to some extent but expect with scripts it ought to be more useable. Am interested to hear comments from others and where, if, scripts may be obtainable. So far I only use TR for recording off the net or upstairs via line in and/or off the net. I have been advised certainly to date, have also found by looking, the editting functions are largely inaccessible. Therefore, to date, I have used GoldWave v5.55 for virtually all my editting.

Re: WAVE PAD HELP GUIDE
Greetings, Thanks, I assumed help would be one method, I simply thought from the contents list given there was some kind of manual or other downloadable guide. Does anybody know of an audio tutorial? Also, are there any Jaws scripts for these products? It may be said they work well out of the box; the same was also said of GoldWave but I, for one, would not be without Jim Grimsbey's brilliant scripts, for they've given me so much useful feedback from the program which, until I used them, had no idea just how good GoldWave is. also, the author has made himself so very approachable for our requests. How many other people are willing to do this? Not many in my experience of some ten years of internet use. From Colin Howard who lives near Southampton in Southern England.

Re: Fw: A computer 101 question about copying.
Greetings, You are planning to use GoldWave to edit the file? why not use GoldWave's cd-reader function in the tools menu? Surely this will do exactly what you want as it would seem from your post, the cd plays in a normal cd machine. In the reader you can save the file to whatever format you wish, presumably as you intend further editting, you will save it to .wav. From Colin Howard who lives near Southampton in Southern England.

Re: .pls FILEs WON'T Play
Greetings, robert, correct, there are limits to free accounts though, you have the minimum service of file size max 300mb, deleted after seven days (unless massive number of downloads in a short time) and no file management is possible, files may only be sent to the main folder. with a max account (which I have) files remain long as you wish (or the account is active) and there are plenty of file management facilities available. Free account users have limited use of the SendSpace wizard, if you pay, all facilities in the wizard become available. From Colin Howard who lives near Southampton in Southern England.

Setting up the volume.
Greetings, Please can somebody remind me. I have seen posts on one or more groupps to which I am sending, to ask about setting up the volume for recording off the net. I do not have a problem as I solved it a good while ago and here is my need. I cannot remember what I did but somewhere I read about a means of setting the volume by going into somewhere which showed me a list of possible volumes available on my system, against each was a check and if it was set, the volume would be displayed in the volume controls. I thought I had kept the post but it seems I didn't. Please, if you understand about what I am asking, please come back advising where I look for my poor likwl bwain urtz!!

Setting up the volume - found the answer.
Greetings, A friend has found the lost post and forwarded it to me so in case it may be of use to others, I paste back the basic text below. 1. Do Windows key and r to open the run dialogue. 2. type: sndvol32 press enter. 3. The volume settings dialogue comes up, you do not need to take any notice of this at present. 4. Do alt and cursor down the menu, you need properties. 5. Enter. 6. There is first the device combo box, tab past this, then you come to radio buttons. On my Compac machine, there are two shown but it says one or two of three, but I do not know what the third one is as I've not seen it by arrowing through the list. As you reach each, it will be checked. In my case, one is play, the other record. 7. You want the record volume, so when you reach it tab once. 8. You will now see a listbox headed show the following volumes, these are a series of check boxes and, what they are, is the list of possible volume devices available on your sound card. Normally, when you go into the windoes (or Audacity or GoldWave) volumes, you see certain of them, the ones you see up to now, are checked in this list. To enable recording what is going through the sound card and this includes what you receive from the net, you need to check a box which, in my case, is called stereo mix, but may be called what you hear. 9. When you find in the list either stereo mix or what you hear, check it. 10. Go to ok and enter. 11. You will now be back in the list of volumes and you should now see the one or ones you checked in the list, any you have unchecked will have gone, so, when you want to recoard from the net (remember it will pick up **any** sound going through the card, go into volume as usual and check the box against stereo mix, adjusting the balance and level as necessary and unchecking any others which are checked. Of course, you will not get these right first time, it's a matter of trial-and-error and getting to know the properties of the card and how loud the incoming signal is. Be interested in how you get on. Update Sunday morning before going to the meeting. I set this up on my desktop machine and recorded off the net by doing: 1. Opened new file in GoldWave. 2. Went on to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 which has now changed since this original post to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio7 and down to the listen live link then entered. 3. The IPlayer consol came up and soon the stream started. 4. I went back to the open file and did control with f9 to start recording. 5. I let this run for about half a minute then did control with f8 to stop recording. 6. I closed the IPlayer stream. 7. I went back to GoldWave and did f4, the recording, a little on the quiet side, played perfectly. From Colin Howard who lives near Southampton in Southern England.

Setting up the volume - found the answer.
Greetings, I am fully aware the stereo mix or what you hear method is not the best way to record from the net but at the time, it was answering an enquiry. I mostly use totalRecorder which has it's own driver hence no need for concern as to what is going through the sound card other than making sure the driver works properly.

Re: External sound cards
Greetings, Matthew Bullis wrote: I quite like the IMic from Griffin Technology. For a while it wasn't available on their site, but I see that it's back for addition to their shopping cart at $30. It just plugs into the USB port, and has an input and an output jack, with a switch to go from line in to microphone settings. It doesn't do the what you hear or stereo mix feature though, but if your laptop doesn't have a line in port, it's quite handy. You wouldn't think a small piece of plastic would work so well.
