RE: Where to host my Files?
You can post practicly anything you wish, personal or otherwise, and when you post something, you can choose the type of license you want to use. For example, you can either choose that the files be in the public domain, or if you prefer that restrictions be placed on the files, where as telling people what they can or can't do with the files. Here's a couple of links of information that explain how it all works: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/HOWTO_Publish https://archive.org/about/faqs.php You can find more information as well as check out what the site is like by going to: www.archive.org Good luck and hope this is helpful.

trouble with yetti microphone direct monitoring
Hi everyone, Hope you can help. My friend Jay is no longer able to hear direct monitoring from his Yetti microphone. He had changed the some of the settings in the recording devices portion of windows in order to record both his voice and his screen reader at the same time. Once his recording session was completed, however, he found that he can't hear direct monitoring via the Yetti. He's tried unplugging the mike and plugging it back in, but no dice. The mike itself works, its just that he can't hear himself speaking through his headphones. The volume of the yetti's headset option is turned all the way up, and his microphone settings within the computer itself hasn't been changed. Any ideas as to what he can do to get the direct monitoring in the Yetti to work again? Mike Do you like disco? Do you like to shake your groove with New Wave, 90s Hiphop, Or today's slammin hits?

--- Begin Message --- Hello everyone, It's possible that someone on the list may have already asked this question some time ago, but I have no way to confirm that. Anyway, I'd like to install Virtual Audio Cable on my computer to check it out and see what its like. However, while researching about the software, I'm a little concerned about the complexity of the process. People online have been saying that uninstalling VAC is not quite as straight forward as uninstalling other programs is. I've heard, that Virtual Audio Cable is one of those programs that likes to spread its particles all around the windows operating system, which means having to messa round with the system registry and/or installing some third-party software just to get rid of it. Have any of you ever tried using this program? Is it really as difficult to uninstall as some people say it is? I just thought I'd find out now, before installing some piece of software to which I won't be able to uninstall very easily. Thanks in advance for any help. Mike Do you like classic rock?

So I'm surprised that it's happening and I know my settings are right. Jaws is set to allow other audio and my players are no different than they've always been. But whether it's Jaws 16 or 18--the 2 I have on my windows 7 system--if I play an audio file and use Jaws, the Jaws volume goes down super low. I don't have loud volume on my media players mostly because I want to work with other programs while listening to music. But as soon as an audio file starts I can barely hear Jaws. The file stops; Jaws comes right back up to the right volume. This is a dell system with real tech high definition, and between Jaws going out and the shaky type sound of the files I don't know if it's sound card or external speakers or maybe Jaws needs repair? And it's no respecter of media players--VLC, Winamp and Windows Media Player all cause Jaws to lower volume. Would appreciate any thoughts.

trouble with combine Classic home cynema
Hello everyone, Yes I know I spelled the name of the software wrong, but hopefully you'll get the point. I'm currently using CCCP which is the accessible software-based dvd player for windows. I'm currently using version 2015, which is the latest version. However, when I play a dvd, I find that the stop and play/pause commands do not work. In fact, they are all disabled. When I insert a dvd, I give the computer time to recognize it, then I start CCCP. I choose my optical drive, press slect folder, and the dvd starts to play. If I try to either stop it or move to the next chapter, nothing happens. It appears that the only way I can stop the dvd, is to press the eject button on my drive. Have any of you ever experienced this? At first I thought that it was a compatible issue between the software and Windows, but there is no problem from what I can tell. There's no error message. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help. Mike Do you like classic rock?

Barring that, she'd have to have someone go through the menus and learn them that way. Is there such a recorder?

When he presses enter on the file he wants to add to the list, the file is added to the playlist like normal, however, the weird thing is that it starts playing automatically.

accessible audio converter software
Hello everyone, Is there a piece of software that's accessible, that allows one to convert wma files to mp3? I know I can always do this through an online source, but sometimes this is not always feesable. A software program that allows for converting wma and other unusual audio filetypes to mp3 can come in very handy at times. So I was just wondering if such a thing existed. Thanks. Mike

questions about microsoft sound mapper
Could someone please explain in plain english, what exactly is the microsoft sound mapper? Up until a couple days ago, I've discovered that within my list of output devices within my screen reader, among certain other programs, (you know, the list where you can choose which soundcard you want to use for certain things, there's something called microsoft sound mapper. What does this (sound mapper) thing do? Is it a soundcard? During my radio show a couple nights ago, I had an emergency, and therefore, had to fire up nvda to use as a backup screen reader. Like I said, I only found out about microsoft sound mapper a couple days ago, and so this is also when I found out that nvda was using sound mapper for it's sound output. So I'm wondering, when you tell your screen reader and/or media player to use sound mapper for its output, especially when you're in a broadcasting situation, can listeners hear it? and what about the computer sounds that we all hear everyday, such as the windows startup and shutdown sounds, skype sounds and that ding ding sound that windows 7 and 8.1 makes to indicate that a download has completed. Where do those sounds come from? Mike Rochester, NY.
another issue has come up
Hello again everyone, I finally got Winamp 5.666 back up and running again, however, now I'm in the process of trying to setup my encoders in sam. The only problem is, you know how when you select the new ins options from the applications menu and choose mp3 and mp3 pro? This is where I'm having trouble. There's usually a focuss issue with that window, and so what I do is press spacebar on mp3 and mp3 pro, and then using my numpad arrows, I press numpad 3 to move the virtual mouse down to the bottom right, then press insert numpad 7 until I get to the ok an cancel buttons, and left-click on ok, which normally takes me into the next window, where I can select options for the server information, converter, streaming bit rate ETC. However, for some reason, I can't seem to get to the ok or cancel buttons. I know that they are present on the screen, but I can seem to get to them accessibly. What can I do? Mike Rochester, NY. P.S. other than this minor issue with sam encoder, (at least I hope it's minor), winamp is working fine otherwise.

RE: Editing Mouth Noise and Braille Display Clicks
While we're on the subject of audio editing, I'd like to suggest the Blue Yetti. It offers four different pickup patterns, so you can adjust the way it picks up your voice. It also has a way for you to monitor what's being picked up from it as well. Here's a link to an audio tutorial about it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/djrbrqri08kczj9/bct1524BlueYetiMicrophone.mp3?dl=0 It's an old tutorial from a few years ago, but it still holds lots of valuable information.

I have done voice-over work as well and I am a Goldwave user. I am a former Sound Forge user but SF had too many bells and whistles for me. I do all of my editing (and other folks as well) with Goldwave. I used SF a long time ago (before they got bought by Soni) and I saw more and more accessibility slipping away. Once I found out about how Goldwave was really implementing accessible features, and the fact that they seemed to actually care... I went with Goldwave. Just as an example. I had a sighted co-worker at the radio station who always made these little grunts and groans after she would read a sentence. It was very anoying to have to sift through every sentence and cut out these little (sometimes erotic sounding sighs and moans) So, I don't think it really matters what program your using as long as you're good at editing and you have the ear and the patience to do it. I don't really know if my reply is any help, but there it is anyway! SF and Goldwave are great products. I'm not trying to start any kind of debate... Just saying I was a Sound Forge user many many years ago and I have been a proud GW user too! And, while reading this I have one more suggestion for those editors out there. There is such a thing as over editing. Some people get too friendly with deleting, and lose the rhythm of natural speech. I recall listening to a Main Menu show a few years back where someone decided to cut out all breaths and pauses, they made the presenter sound like a robot and it was unlistenable.

ggetting rid of annoying echo
Hello everyone, Due to finantial reasons, I have to use Winamp and that line plugin, where you have to press control L, type line colon slash slash, press enter to add it to your playlist and then when the track stops, it automatically turns on your mike. Then when you're done, you just press enter on your next song to turn off the mike and play the track. This is easy enough, but the downside to it is, that each time you speak, you get that annoying feedback of your voice echoing back at you. I find this very distracting. I know there's a plugin that you can get, that prevents this from happening, because once installed, when you turn your mike on in the manner in which I described above, you hear your voice, but it comes through instantly. There's no echo. What's that plugin called? And can it be found anywhere online? I do plan to switch over to station playlist at some point, but even then, I'm still likely to run into that echo when I broadcast. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Mike Rochester, NY.

external usb soundcards
Hello everyone, I'm in the process of getting a dj position on ACB Radio Interactive. During the first half of the audition prep, I found out that my computer only has one soundcard, and as a result, when I broadcast, my computer sounds and screen reader sounds would end up being broadcasted too. The person training me suggested that an external usb soundcard would solve this issue. Can any of you recommend a good plug n play usb soundcard that would work with the blue yeti usb mic, winamp 5.666, and windows 8.1? For anyone who has ever used multiple soundcards in an audio project involving talking to someone on skype, while broadcasting music over the web, do you know if external usb soundcards have a setting, something like an audition channel of sorts, that would allow you to take skype calls without broadcasting them online? If technology permits, I'm hoping to be able to play music over the air, and take requests via skype off the air. I hope that makes at least a little sense. I'm new to broadcasting online, so my question may sound a little confusing to some people. Thanks in advance for any help. Mike Rochester, NY.

Insert a blank cdr disk into the cd/dvd drive of your computer. If you get a message that asks you what you want the computer to do, just press alt f 4 to close this windo w. 2. Now start up windows explorer by pressing windows key and the letter E. Once open, arrow up and down through the list of drives and folders until you find the folder where your mp3 files are located and press tab to open it. 3. select everything in that folder by pressing control A then press control c to copy them to the clipboard. 4. Press shift-tab to close this window and arrow down to the burner drive, and press tab to open that drive. 5. Now, press control V to paste everything in. 6. Press the applications key to bring up the context menu and press T. This will bring up the burn wizard. You'll be asked to name the cd. The default name will be the current date unless you decide to give the cd a different name. 7. Then tab to the next button and press it. 8. A new window will come up asking you if you want to make an audio cd, or a data cd. Windows Media Player is normally set to audio cd by default. If it isn't, then use your arrow keys to navigate to the audio cd option. Then press tab until you get to next and press enter or press spacebar. 9. At this point, Windows media player itself will open. 10. The easiest way to get to the start burn button, is to shift tab 9 times. Once you find the burn button, press spacebar and wait. Do not do anything until you hear the cd drive's moter stop and the cd ejects. Once the cd is done burning, you can press alt f 4 to close Windows Media Player. You should then see an icon on your screen called audio cd E or something similar. Once you find this icon, press the applications key again and press F. You will then see a message that asks you to confirm that you want to remove the files from the temporary area where they had been placed prior to burning the cd. Either tab to the yes button or press alt Y. This will clear the burn list. Now your cd is ready for your friend to play in his cd player, just like a store-bought cd. Hope this helps. Hope you have a nice Christmas and Happy New Year. If you like, I could also send you an audio tutorial of someone actually burning a cd with Windows Media Player, so that you can get a feel for how its done.

accessible blogging site for posting audio
Good evening fellow listers: I'm thinking about getting into broadcasting on ACB radio Interactive sometime in the near future. I plan to record my live shows as they're going out on air, so that I can then upload them as a podcast somewhere online, so that people can go and listen to and/or download them. People have said, that you can use blogger to post podcast/show notes, and use ourmedia.com, to upload the actual audio files, which in tern would present you with a link leading to the audio file to which you can paste into the blog. This link, is what people would use to download the file to their computers. This much I understand. However, I've heard, that blogger isn't all that user friendly, and ourmedia.com has a bad habbit of not making uploaded files available right away and once something is uploaded, there's no garuntee as to how long the file will remain on the site. So, I was wondering, if there was an accessible site where I could upload podcasts, and add show notes all in one place? Of course, being that I don't yet have a show slot, I won't have to deal with any of this just yet, but I just wanted to get an idea as to where I could post mp3 copies of my radio show, if I decide to archive it. Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.

Re: Sound bars
Hi Tom, Most certainly, a sound bar will help a whole lot.I have a 40 inch television and added a 37 inch sound bar. They offer enough internal enclosure to give it some of that rich depth the old set had. Remember to get as wide of a sound bar as your particular installation can allow for great stereo separation. Its a cheap alternative, and I only paid about $ 65 for the sound bar. It was very pleasing when it was set up and I've never regretted the purchase.

Re: Soundbars
Hi Howard, Older televisions typically had enough speaker enclosure and did not require something like a sound bar. The newer flat screen models are the ones we speak of, and most if not all have multiple modes of input and output, making it a simple matter of plugging in a stereo cable or HDMI cable and making the connection.

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.

If a soundbar at $150 improves the sound quality from your TV then I guess it is worthit. each person must decide what they can afford and act accordingly. If you have your hi-fi in your living room where you have the TV then feeding the TV through the Hi-fi will greatly improve the sound quality. I think it should be noted here that Soundbars are designed to give a particular cinematic sound and in my opinion if it is for listening to music seriously then a good hi-fi is the better option. If though it is to use with your TV or DVD then a soundbar is a good investment. If you are going to spend a lot of money then you would be wise to audition the soundbar first by visiting a reputable dealer.

The soundbar sits there in the on position 24 hours a day. I don't go to the trouble of turning it on and off. It makes no noise, and only when the television is turned on is an audio signal passed to the sound bar and amplified. Those little speakers inside a flat panel television probably could be made to sound better, but without any depth for an enclosure, they sound very tinny and cheap. The sound bar, even cheap ones help quite a bit. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but even I objected to the television sound quality. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, May 09, 2014 6:39 PM Subject: Re: Soundbars I'm sure I'm miss-understanding something somewhere in your post, if the Television's turned off then how do you get the sound from it to the Soundbar or don't you bother, do you just use the Soundbar with your smart device.

The one I purchased is about the shape of a distorted closed cylinder. Meaning it is the size in length that you purchase, and perhaps somewhat oval with a flat bottom surface. What happened with mine is it improved the television sound quality immensely, but the television had to sit behind the sound bar, and needed to be raised just a little so the television could see the remote signal. I leave mine on all the time, and just turn the television off. It makes no other sound and just sits in an idle mode. I do have a blueTooth model, so I can put it that mode and play something from my tablet or iphone with it.

RE: questions about Radionomy
Hey Larry, Just got your email. Hmmm, it sounds like once someone starts using this service, even if it is considered free, they still have to have money in their pockets, because it sounds like the life of a station is based soley on how much money goes into Radionomy's pocket. Well, I guess it kind of makes sense when you really think about it. Good luck with the startup of your station. Hope everything goes well for you. Thanks for the info.

I looked into Radionomy several years ago. I'm calling on my memory to describe my experience with them, so I could be recalling small details inaccurately, but here's how I remember my experience with them. I found accessibility there to be a bit awkward, at least for me, but manageable. Their tech support answered questions promptly and helpfully. As I recall, at the time that I checked into it, they allowed free use of their service for six months. If, during that time, they were able to sell advertising on the station in question, then you could continue using the service for free. If they could not sell advertising after the six month period, you would need to pay to continue using the service. I believe I am correct in saying that they now own Shoutcast, which I will probably be using when I sign my own station on in a few weeks. Larry .

mp3 skype recorder success

When you press the alt key with the program running, all that comes up, is the system menu, allowing you to change the size of the window but there doesn't appear to be any menu of any kind. How do I tell mp3 skype recorder to save recordings in a folder of my own choosing rather than the default folder it has chosen for me? If it should become necessary, and I didn't want a particular skype call to be recorded, how do I turn the automatic recording on and off? and is there a way to adjust the quality of the mp3 files that mp3 skype recorder records? Finally, when making a recording of a Skype call, I read an article online, that states that you should fire up Skype first and then the program.

Does such a program exist? Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.

enqueue and play does not show in context menu
Hi fellow list members, First of all, I hope that everyone has had a nice Christmas and that 2014 will bring you happiness and good fortune. Quite a while back, I had written to the pc-audio list to find out how to insert a track immediately below the currently playing one in Winamp. Someone on the Pc-audio list, had given me some directions as to how to do this. I followed all the steps they set out in their email message, explaining how to get Winamp to insert a new track below the one that's already playing in the playlist. However, the (enqueue and play in Winamp) option doesn't appear anywhere in the context menu of Windows Explorer for some weird reason. The list member said to go to the shell options under the preferences treeview/dialogue, and checked the check boxes for add enqueue play to Winamp associated filetypes, insert enqueue files after the currently playing file, and leave playback on the currently playing file. Once that was done, I loaded my playlist of songs, pressed enter on the first song in the playlist and The song plaied as normal. While it was playing, I pressed Windows key and E, to open windows explorer and navigated to the folder where the file I wanted to add was located and highlighted the file. But when I pressed alt F to bring up the file menu, I did not see anything that said Enqueue and play in Winamp under the file menu. I even tried going directly to the (my music) folder, which is where all my music is kept, highlighted a file I wanted to add to the playlist, and tried pressing both alt F and using the applications key, but no matter which method I tried, the enqueue and play in Winamp icon was still no where to be found. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Has anyone else ever had this issue with Winamp? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Mike Rochester, NY. Mike Rochester, NY.
Re: Is the NCH audio software accessible?
I've used Express Burn for several years, and I find it totally accessible. There is one area near the bottom that keeps track of how much space is on the disk, and how much of that space you've marked files for burning. This is only accessible via the Jaws cursor, or a simple script can be written. Best of all, the program is free for the first two weeks or 15 days, so you get to try it prior to buying it. - Original Message - From: dan Kerstetter dh...@comcast.net To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2013 11:32 AM Subject: RE: Is the NCH audio software accessible?

Hi list, Merry Christmas. Would anyone here know about the accessibility of the software from NCH? Specifically, I want to look into their Express Burn CD burning software, if it works on Windows 7 64 bit machines. If anyone's had experience using this, would you please give me some pointers for getting the best use from it? Windows Media Player seems a bit tricky for setting up a playlist to burn to a CD; I use System Access for a screen reader but something's wrong with the Media Library in that it won't let me burn something to CD; Support can't help much in this case. I have tried Digital Jukebox from Marvelsoft; in that case yes, I can make the playlist and then go to the Project menu and tell the program to burn the tracks to CD; a blank CD is in the drive, but when I hit the okay button after I'm given the total playing time for the tracks to burn the CD, the speech just goes silent and a message pops up that the dj.exe has stopped working and should be closed; I haven't heard back from their tech support yet, maybe tomorrow after Christmas. Meanwhile I'm wanting to find out more about Express Burn by NCH Software to find out if it's accessible with screen readers before I plunk down money for it. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me on this; also if anyone has experience with Digital Jukebox by Marvelsoft I'm interested in learning about experiences people had using it. thanks again and Merry Christmas.

The stereo Mix ability that was so easy to use in Windows XP, disappeared with Windows 7. I wish there was a way also to trigger this sound ability so that everything on the computer can be recorded.

You can find a podcast regarding how to set up the App, by going to applevis.com. As far as using the computer goes, I do not know of any other way to use the Sirius XM on-line service other than the flash player. I agree that saying that it's accessible would be a stretch. . - Original Message - From: Dave Marthouse dmartho...@gmail.com To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 7:39 AM Subject: Sirius-Xm Satellite Radio Does anyone know of any accessible alternatives to the flash player that you must use for Sirius satellite radio on the internet. It can be used in a hit or miss way with Jaws and Nvda but I would hardly call it accessible. Any information would be appreciated.

RE: copying audio cd's onto a computer
Yup, Dave is right. If you're simply using Winamp to tag and play files, you can do that totally free. But if you want to rip or burn cds you'll have to pay for the pro version, I believe that it costs something like $15 for the pro version of Winamp.

RE: recording a piano with my blue yeti microphone
Hey Andre, I too have a Yeti Mic. If You're recording music, it might be best to record the Piano in stereo. Good luck.

a new computer in my future
Hello fellow pc-audio listers, Due to technical reasons, I might have to get a new computer. When looking for a new computer, in addition to doing the normal everyday things like using the computer for work, school and play, I would also like to be able to broadcast online. If I want to have the ability to use my computer to broadcast online, is there anything in particular that I should look for when purchasing a new machine? Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.

copying music onto a thumb drive to play in the car
Hello fellow pc-audio listers: I'd like to download some music to put onto a thumb drive to which my Parents can play in the car. Unlike my Dad's car, my Mom's car doesn't have a cd player, and when we go on road trips to Canada, we often use her car. So I was just wondering, once I have the songs I want downloaded to the computer, do I have to do anything special to the files in order to get them to play correctly in the car? Should I save all the files as one long .m3u file or can I just put the files on the drive as individual mp3s. The way the thumb drive in my Mom's car works, is simple. All you have to do is put the thumb drive in, and the music starts playing. Then, when you're finished listening, you simply pull the drive out and the radio starts playing again. Cool huh? Thanks in advance for your help. Mike Rochester, NY. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
