Winamp start pause and stop
Every time I have installed Winamp, it wants to default to fading in and out when a file starts, stops, and pause/restart. I would like to make it start and stop abruptly. I think it has to do with a plug-in. Can anyone explain what I should do to achieve this action? Thank you very much. Howard
Re: A Couple of Digital Recorder Questions
I'm using the Olympus 520, also with internal mics. I do my best to sit still when it's in my pocket; and keep my hands off it when it's on the table. - Original Message - From: "Kelby Carlson"To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2017 7:31 PM Subject: A Couple of Digital Recorder Questions All, I have a couple of questions about recording with a digital voice recorder. I have an older Olympus DM-4 that is still in good condition. I have an iPhone 7 as well, but can probably not afford a really good external mic for it. I recently obtained a very good sound pair of in-ear, wired binaural mics from Andrea electronics. These mics have great sound quality. The only issue is that I can't use them while I'm walking anywhere, since the have to go in my ears. Likewise for recording things like classes, because it will look as though I'm not paying attention to anything. Are there any creative solutions to use these mics without necessarily always having them in my ears? If not, then I can still use my recorder with its internal microphones which also sound pretty good. The issue is that the recorder has intense handling noise, so I can't move the recorder around at all once it begins recording. I've looked for a carrying case, but all of them seem to be such that they cover up the controls when the recorder is inside. I've attempted recording with the recorder in a front shirt pocket, but then I just get the noise of the cloth rubbing against the recorder itself. I'm at a loss at this point. I have very good equipment but am having trouble getting the results I want because of this. Any help is appreciated. KSC

Re: feeling bass frequencies

If so the moderators must please let me know and I will request people to answer me off list. I have a very unique situation here. I have just had a second cochlear implant which resulted in my losing all frequencies below about 100 hz. This as many of you know results in you losing quite a deal of the lower bass sounds in music. I'm researching some way of now compensating for this. The only way I can think up is to use my tactile sense to feel the missing frequencies. Maybe the brain may put the signals of the audio and visual cortex together and create some kind of a whole. What I have done is to lightly rest my fingers onto the front of my reasonable quality sub whoofer. It is then indeed possible to do this. But it's really not the most comfortable position to sit in also. Another thing - if you turn up the bass too much, the harmonics starts to distort the cochlear implants. So I'm wondering if someone has any thoughts on this rather unique challenge to share?

recording off of a USB device
Speaking of the USB record player or turntable, it seems that all I've seen advertised have ceramic cartrages. Does anyone know of one that has a magnetic cartrage? Thus far, I've been using my old, old stereo with its tape output jacks connected to the soundcard input of the recording computer running goldwave for recording. For me, that might be the best choice; so I don't have to purchase any more hardware. This system allows me to convert vinyl, cassettes, and open reel. Of course, all these analog devices introduce extra hum and hiss; but to my seventy year old ears, it sounds pretty good.

I am going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet database is no longer available to the programme. I believe a license fee had to be paid to use the service in the first place, and while I could be wrong about that, the database did change ownership recently, and both Winamp and CDex no longer have access to it. WInamp is no longer being updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done with Cdex either. So it's likely that, unless another solution presents itself, you will just have to manually input your track information, or use a different programme. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

I'll give more details on the radio in the future, here are some initial impressions to wet your appetite. The PL660 is somewhat smaller than the PL880 and doesn't have the nice sounding speaker of the PL880 but it does have excellent short wave reception capabilities which are - in my view - the main selling point of this radio. The Sync Detection works very well indeed, possibly the best SDS I've heard from a radio of this size, as good as the Synchronous Detection System found on the Sony 2010, 2001D or ICF-SW77. The AM broadcast band is nothing special, radio exhibits quite a bit of noise here. FM is dead hot! SSB reception is disappointing, Tecsun use a clarifier adjustment which fees rough to adjust and even worse, the clarifier control has a detent point in the middle of its travel, similar to what you'd find with a balance control for an amplifier, absolutely crazy. The PL660 is the first radio I've used with an Air Band though as yet I've found nothing up there, will take the radio outside as its a nice sunny day and do further experimentation. Haven't played with the memory system yet. Like the layout of the buttons and the various shapes in the buttons, round, square, rectangular, big and small, makes for instant recognition for important functions. The buttons are slightly indented into the front of the unit, almost flush one could say and that means that they're not likely to be knocked. Unlike the PL880, the PL660 runs on 4 AA size batteries which can either be rechargeable or alkaline types, the radio automatically detects the type being used. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane

Using a Soundbar would mean very little set-up on my part to enjoy the experience of Surround-Sound in a movie or from Channels on my Set Top Box etc, no need to set-up individual speakers as I did in the lounge and so on. It should be noted that - whatever system you used with your Television these days - would improve the sound quality of your TV, the speakers in those TV sets now are even worse than 2 tins, 1 on each end of a piece of string. There are several reasons for the bad audio quality, the most obvious being that Television sets these days are getting to the point of being as thick as a piece of cardboard thus good sound would really be defying the laws of physics.

I would recommend strongly the Bose Cinemate SR1. This Soundbar is extraordinary. The technology it contains inside is remarkable. When it is set up you get a little confused for a moment or two because you hear sounds coming from parts of the room where you know there are no speakers but that is how it works by bouncing sounds off walls and ceiling and it acts just like a surround sound system. The set up procedure is all automated and you are talked through it. It comes with a large subwoofer and it is a really high quality sound. The sound bar can be placed on the wall, or it can sit on the table in front of the TV. This positioning has no ill effect on sound quality due to the technology inside, it adjusts to its position. The Soundbar though isn't cheap but you truly get what you pay for. It isn't large just

Re: USB input device
Thanks, Robert, for the suggestion. I've been looking at the 302 and 502; the price ain't much different. Judging from the Amazon description, it sounds like there's one combination XLR and quarter inch connector and a pair of RCA jacks. Sounds to me like it does not have stereo mic plugs. It says either three or five inputs. Does that mean channels? Or do they all feed into one channel. Nothing is mentioned about input or output level controls. Sure wish I could go down to the store and check it out. Thought if I find the manual I could learn a lot more; but can't seem to find one to download--or to do anything else with. All my experience is back in the 60's when it was all analog. Do you know a little more about these things that you could pass along? Thank you a lot. Sure appreciate your help.

Re: Recording level in Goldwave
Roger, the setup is the hardest part--at least it has been for me. Once GoldWave is set up and ready to go, press Control+n for new file, make the correct choices from the dialog box that comes up. Press control+F9 to start recording, then start your source material. When the playing has finished, press control+F8 to stop recording. Then do control+s to save your work. Choose the name, file type, and where to put it from the save as dialog box. When I'm ripping cassettes or vinyl, I usually want to manually split the file into separate tracks later on. So, while recording, I press control+q between tracks to drop a Q point. Then, when finished, I split the file using GoldWave's tools | q points dialog. The way I do it is certainly not the only way--maybe not even the best way, but it gets the job done. If you need more than this, I'll put together a step by stpep instruction. It'll make me feel like I'm back teaching again. In my working days, I created all kinds of these sets of instructions.. Good luck.

Re: Winamp MIDI Files?

I don't know which setting I changed, but now it plays. Now, only a minor annoyance, midi file start playing at a lowered volume. The up arrow brings it back up. This does not happen on mp3 files. I also changed winamp's plug-in to nulsoft direct sound output which still lets it play.

Re: Winamp MIDI Files?
Thanks JM, I think my default output plug-in at installation was direct sound. In any case, the sound would fade out and in when I paused and restarted. Maybe there was an adjustment to fix that but it was just as easy to change plug-ins. When I hit on a .mid file, Winamp starts and shows that time is elapsing; just no sound coming out. I'll try the other plug-in and see if it works.

If you can record through a mic using a mic jack, you can get a cord with a resistor in it from radio shack and use that. You can, if I remember right, specify the quality of mp3 the machine generates. You would at worst have to figure a way to cut the tape files into segments. The real question is should you do this at all. If they're personal tapes, go for it. But commercial tapes usually don't hold up well. You have heard the tapes and know what condition they're in, of course. My wife's commercial tapes were so bad after years that there was no way I could tune the recorder to get the best sound because there was no best sound. Personal tapes usually have better quality.

VLC has a terrific sound but one thing I want to do is to be able to play several songs at once. I use control and down arrow together in my songs list and hit spacebar to select, just as in winamp, but it chooses one of the songs and only plays it. In fact, instead of choosing the song my arrow key happens to be on, it picks another that I have selected, say, above or below the track I'm actually on. How do I get it to play several songs? Okay I just did something while writing this. I hit next, and it did play the next track in my selection, but I want to play my selections one right after another without having to hit next. Also where is the equalizer, and I hear it also has a file converter. Are equalizer and file converter not accessible? This particular computer is an XP and using Jaws 13, so if anyone knows how to use this player I'd appreciate help. I really like its sound but doesn't seem real accessible. One more question, sorry. Does it have a plug-in like, say, Rock Steady or Thomas Limiter for Winamp, that regulates VLC's volume. Some tracks are way loud and others are very soft.Thanks.

Re: BurnAware Free error message
Thanks, Clifford, for your response. I have a string of 30 mp3 files that I'm trying to burn onto a CD for the car. I've done this acouple times before, so I know it can work. Most of the files seem OK and are added to the burn list. Some, seemingly random, get the error message. So I have replaced the files that are in error with other copies of the same recording and it usually is OK. So I'm wondering what is wrong with the bad files? They play (using winamp) just fine. Still would like to know what error 15 meant. There's a contact link on the burnaware website; so maybe that's my next step.

Re: guitar for beginner?
I guess this doesn't have much to do with pc audio, but: I'd like to ask for a suggestion. I know a few chords on the guitar and I'm gonna try to follow the Bill Brown course for beginners. I bought an acoustic big hollow-body guitar and a rummage sale. It's tough to play because the strings are pretty far off the fret board. I broke the high E string trying to tune it; so I'm thinking about getting a set of strings. The question: What sort of strings should I get? Would nylon be a choice; maybe easier on the fingers for a beginner? Thoughts, please.

Honestly, that's such a personal thing. I'd go in, and handle them. There are some really cheap guitars that play like crap, there are some that are cheap that aren't bad. The worst thing to do is to buy somethikng that's totally crappy and will be hard to play .. seen it with acustics. Do you like the sound of a fender, gypson, etc .. that will be a factor. I would recommend getting medium gage strings .. but the guitars will already be strung. Wish I could be of more help, but a guitar is such a personal thing. My advice is learn acustic first before electric. Honestly, a classical guitar is the best because once yhou learn it, you'll find playing a regular guitar and most of all and electric much easier. Learn your scales, it's cool to jump in and start learning songs, but you want that foundation. Too many people never sit there and learn those different scales, and there4's tons of different fingerings. twitter http://twitter.com/richardclayppol last.fm http://www.last.fm/user/lord_of_beer msn bellevue@gmail.com skype lord_of_beer - Original Message - From: BlueNose hotsco...@sky.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, July 02, 2012 2:15 PM Subject: guitar for beginner? hi guys, I'm looking for recommendations as which is the best eletric guitar for a beginner?.

Re: An Odd Problem (at least to me!)
I don't know if this is related to the Tom problem, but: I have an early CD player--probably from the early 80's when they started making cd's. It will only play up through the 17th track on a cd, no matter how many tracks there are on it. I think it's because the hardware is limited. I don't think they ever expected that cd's would hold more than a vinyl album.

CD Ripping
A two-pronged question: I'm using Windows XP Pro with JAWS 11. 1. I bought Express Rip; a very nice program. But it gets the wrong info from the Internet for the CD. I don't know how to change where it gets the info. 2. So I went back to CDex and it gets the right track names and stuff, but it creates silent files that are about 25% the size that they should be.

To update the file in the open window (I think) means it will close the .wav file and open the .mp3 (or whatever format you are converting to) file.

PCI Express slots are usually available in PC towers, but unless there's some mini version of PCI Express, I cn't imagine you'd have access to anything like that in a notebook.

Re: Olympus recorders
Supposedly, there is a way to turn off the AVC and manuallly control the input level. In that case it should work fine. So far, I haven't figured out how. I did, however, record from the speaker output of my Drake R-4C ham reeceiver and it wasn't bad. AVC was turned on and the input sensitivity was as low as it would go. There was some pumping on the recording, but not bad.

Re: microphone input to computer
Plugging the mics into the tape deck allows me to control the mics as though I were recording onto tape. It has individual left and right controls as well as mic and line mixing--which I won't need. In any case, I control mic levels by placement rather than setting the level higher on one or the other.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Of course, when you use an FM transmitter, you don't get the full frequency range. Doesn't matter to me because I'm old and my high frequencies are fading. Also depends upon if it's a legal FM transmitter; the upper frequency limit is 15 KHz. A good hi-fi stereo system will produce 20KHz. I used to could hear those high harmonics.

Its been a while since I've played with Goldwave as I prefer to use Amadeus Pro on the Mac but it doesn't hurt to have fingers in the Windows pie smile. Anyway to cut a long story short I was given a job where noise reduction in parts was required as part of the audio editing, I can handle this stuff quite easily with Amadeus Pro but as I'd never given the noise reduction function in Goldwave a go before I thought that the ideal opportunity was presenting itself. To be frank I was amazed at the quality of the result I got for a first try and I'm prepared to stand by the claim I'm about to make and that is the Noise reduction functions of Goldwave rival those which are part of more expensive products such as Sound Forge. Furthermore, the sections in the manual describing how the noise reduction system in Goldwave works are incredibly well written without boring anyone to sleep so all one has to do if they want to try the noise reduction function is to read for a minute or so and the have the basic knowledge required to get started. So what's Goldwave worth these days, $59.00 or thereabouts? Damn good value for money and I'd almost be tempted to say its a Giveaway! when one also considers its many built-in powerful functions and the fact that the author has gone out of his way to make this product accessible.
