Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
There's a station around here on FM that's been on since 51. It seems to have almost no high or low at all as they must filter that all out. I suspect they do this because at times you hear a high-pitch tone on the radio from them that they probably haven't figured any other way to eliminate but equalizing out a bunch. I believe they still use the gear they had back then. Now I think Jonathan's station sounds a whole lot better than the first night. - Original Message - From: Warren Goodwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Warren, As the one who started the feedback in this thread, I think I can speak for everyone else who offered their comments: NONE of our comments were, or were intended, to disparage Jonathan, his efforts, or The Minx, IN ANY WAY. They were, AND ARE, offered in the spirit of HELPFUL feedback, to assist in PRECISELY the teething process to which you alluded. And, I'm sure, Jonathan, himself, understands our feedback in just that way. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

RE: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
Hi Warren, thanks for your support. I know that for those who were affected by the original problem, the audio sounded really, really bad, so I've no problem with getting feedback. The issue is resolved now, and we're down to good old personal preference now. There has been and will continue to be much debate over the appropriate level of compression and equalisation. I've been in this game long enough to know that you're never going to please everyone on that front. But the good news is that the original, quite serious problem affecting some listeners is now gone. Thanks.

RE: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
Hi Michael, I have absolutely no clue. It was hard because none of the computers here exhibited the problem when I played the stream so it was a hard one for me to emulate. I ended up changing my DSP plug-in for Shoutcasting, changing the compressor used, and a few other random things. One of those things fixed it.

Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
Hello List. Today I purchased a plantronics stereo u s b headset for my computer listening. After installing it I fine, that I can't play audio on both the soundcard and the headset at the same time. As a result, Jaws plays on the headset while music etc plays on from the sound card. Is there a way to play on both simotaneously? In addition, the usb headset is suppose to use the audio controls in the control pannel operated by switches on the headset wire, but this is not working either. The headphones sound wonderful and I'd rather not send them back, but if I need to I will. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Subject: Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project Well yes it was, for AM radio, this is streaming audio which is a completely different idea altogether. I used AM stereo as an analogy. The Minx stream sounds very much like AM stereo and I'm sorry people, a 128k mp3 stream should *not* sound like that. Please also understand that I am not, in any way at all atempting to diminish the hard work that has gone into putting this station together. Hey, putting an internet stream together is no easy task. But when something sounds bad, and I think it could sound better, I'm going to be completely honest and at the same time, try to remain as constructive and respectful as I can. I'll do all I can to try and help Jonathan work out what the problem might be. From my perception here, it just sounds as if all the high frequencies have been taken out of the music, so the best answer i have for right now is to do whatever is needed to put all the highs back in there. That's really all I have. I'll continue to listen for further developments.

If you have any inquiries about this message, feel free to write to me privately but not to the list. Thanks. The Minx, at http://www.the-minx.com, is a new Internet radio station that launched at 8 PM US Central time on Tuesday evening. The stream is a broad band 128 KBPS MP3 stream. While many of my Internet radio projects have had a blindness focus, this one is very much aimed at a general audience, including all my blind friends and listeners of course! Of all the music radio I've done on the Net, nothing has been more carefully programmed. The Minx features a careful blend of music that reflects all aspects of love. First love, passionate love, unrequited love, love and marriage, love and divorce...you'll love The Minx. Settle back and listen to loves songs from the country, soft rock, RB, easy listening and jazz genres in high fidelity broad band stereo. It's the perfect companion to your work day, when your in the office and regular terrestrial radio reception is difficult, or when those pesky commercials and talk just get on your nerves. It's the perfect companion at home, when you're unwinding with the one you love, or just thinking about them. From the Board room to the bedroom, the Minx is your companion. There's something here for everyone from the starry eyed dreamer
Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
We have an am stereo station here in Wichita. It's been around for about 150 years but it's still kickin' They bragged about it being am stereo when that type of broadcasting was popular. I think they still are but since the format died they don't mention it anymore. I think when they advertised about being AM stereo there was only one place in town to get a radio that would pick up the stereo broadcasts.

AM stereo is dead. stations can still use the sequam format if they choose, but stations are gearing up for digital Am broadcast during the day time hours and not putting any money into sequam since manufacturers don't make the radios capable of receiving it any more.Crysler used to put AM stereo radios in there cars in the 80's. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
No, I agree. I'm not exactly sure what is meant by clipping. But it still doesn't sound quite as I think it should. I compare it to a number of other favorite streams of mine, some at considerably less than 128K, and Minx just doesn't sound as bright and clear and full-bodied. I know it's hard to define those terms non-ostensively. but, I think most audiophiles out there will know what I'm talking about. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S.

The Minx, at http://www.the-minx.com, is a new Internet radio station that launched at 8 PM US Central time on Tuesday evening. The stream is a broad band 128 KBPS MP3 stream. While many of my Internet radio projects have had a blindness focus, this one is very much aimed at a general audience, including all my blind friends and listeners of course! Of all the music radio I've done on the Net, nothing has been more carefully programmed. The Minx features a careful blend of music that reflects all aspects of love. First love, passionate love, unrequited love, love and marriage, love and divorce...you'll love The Minx. Settle back and listen to loves songs from the country, soft rock, RB, easy listening and jazz genres in high fidelity broad band stereo. It's the perfect companion to your work day, when your in the office and regular terrestrial radio reception is difficult, or when those pesky commercials and talk just get on your nerves. It's the perfect companion at home, when you're unwinding with the one you love, or just thinking about them. From the Board room to the bedroom, the Minx is your companion.

Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
hi. I've noticed the *exact* same thing, and I know of 2 or 3 other people who have noticed it too. It's as if there is absolutely no high end on the signal, like an AM radio station might sound, or something like a 24k or 32k mp3 stream may sound. I'm not in any way complaining about this as I explained to Jonathan privately, but I wanted to confirm what Dana is saying here. It's like there's a whole lot of bass, but very little to no high frequencies. Let's hope we can track it down very soon!

Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
There's definitely too much base, but \ can't be sure about too little high end. But what's most annoying is the quality I called fuzziness, and someone else described as scratchiness, in the vocal frequencies. It reminds me most of a poorly modulated single side band signal, not heterodyning, just badly modulated. I have no idea what that would correspond to in digital terms. but that's what it sounds like to me. HTH Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
It reminds me most of one of those AM stereo stations back in the late 1980's. It just does not sound like a 128k stream should sound, that's the main idea.

But what's most annoying is the quality I called fuzziness, and someone else described as scratchiness, in the vocal frequencies. It reminds me most of a poorly modulated single side band signal, not heterodyning, just badly modulated. I have no idea what that would correspond to in digital terms. but that's what it sounds like to me. HTH Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
I agree. The bass is good, but the high end is lacking.

Re: An Announcement about a new Internet radio project
Well yes it was, for AM radio, this is streaming audio which is a completely different idea altogether. I used AM stereo as an analogy. The Minx stream sounds very much like AM stereo and I'm sorry people, a 128k mp3 stream should *not* sound like that. Please also understand that I am not, in any way at all atempting to diminish the hard work that has gone into putting this station together. Hey, putting an internet stream together is no easy task. But when something sounds bad, and I think it could sound better, I'm going to be completely honest and at the same time, try to remain as constructive and respectful as I can. I'll do all I can to try and help Jonathan work out what the problem might be. From my perception here, it just sounds as if all the high frequencies have been taken out of the music, so the best answer i have for right now is to do whatever is needed to put all the highs back in there. That's really all I have. I'll continue to listen for further developments.
