Re: accessable multitrack

2008-12-27 Thread Matthew Bullis
Hello Josh. I had considered that unit briefly, until I found out that there
weren't inputs for what I needed. I've never been satisfied with the mono
sound of instrument inputs. I therefore use a pedal and spread out the sound
with dual outputs. This unit wouldn't help me in that regard. I therefore
used a program on the computer called NTrack. I can mix the audio how I like
it, and then feed it into the computer and layer as I please. I did a review
on Main Menu several years ago, and I hope that it helps you, if you decide
to go the computer route. You can edit the resulting mixed-down .wav file in
any number of editing programs to get rid of the before-song stuff. I hope
you can return the Tascam unit without problems, if you find it not to meet
your needs. I never actually tried out the unit, but maybe you can get
sighted assistance to show you the menu structure for the things that you
need, and memorize enough to go where you need to go.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew

Re: Does the sound quality of different software media players differ?

2008-12-27 Thread DJ DOCTOR P

Hello Steve,
I have used media players such as VLC WMP and WINAMP.
And for a while, I also used Real Media Player, they all sound pretty much 
the same to me.
I haven't heard Foobar 2000 yet, I couldn't find the website to download it 
to try it out.

I guess some things sound different to different people.
My best regards!
 John.

An interesting way to test this would be to play a song to someone using
say Foobar, Winamp and Windows Media Player without them knowing which
player was playing the song and then see if they could identify the
players correctly.  I certainly don't think I could tell what software
player was playing a file just by listening to it.  This raises the
issue of whether a software player sounds better to someone simply
because they like that player better.  I don't have all the answers to
this debate but it raises some interesting issues.

RE: Finding The Listen Link On Station's Website

2008-12-27 Thread Tim Martin
Hi John,

All you need to do is go to the 2nd link on the sight.  That is the play
link.  It doesn't say listen, but does say something like play.  Remember,
it is the 2nd link on the sight.

You will need to create a password.

When the player opens, go to the link that says get a password.

This will open a link that asks for a little information.

Fill in the info and you should be able to play the station.

If you get hung up, let me know on the list and I'll do what I can to help.

I did go through the steps and was able to listen to the station...Does have
some good tunes there.

Re: Does the sound quality of different software media players differ?

2008-12-27 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm no audiophile, and my ears aren't what they used to be, but I would 
be a little surprised if there were any noticeable difference in the 
quality of the output you get from different media players. I haven't 
researched this in particular, but the different reviews I've read of 
the different media players talk about features, ease of use, bloat 
ware,  I've never seen a review talk about sound quality of one 
software media player over another. I wonder how much of this perceived 
differences in the players is due to default equalizer settings? IMHO, 
if someone likes the sound they're getting from one player over another 
than that's the player they should be using. I think the test Steve 
describes would be interesting, but people wouldn't have to guess which 
layer was which but just rather which one they preferred.


Like I said, I'd be a bit surprised if there were a noticeable 
difference in sound quality between the players, but it wouldn't be the 
first time I was surprised over something like this.

Re: Does the sound quality of different software media players differ?

2008-12-27 Thread Dana S. Leslie
This is funny. I think we have an ambiguity going on here, between two 
senses of quality. When I first read the question in the subject line, I 
took it to refer to the *qualitative* feel of the sound produced by 
different players, as opposed to the *quantitative* numbers at which they 
might test out in a sound lab; and, in the *qualitative* sense of quality, 
I definitely do hear differences between different players. The differences 
I hear may well be due to different default settings. If I tweaked one 
player of whose sound I am not that fond, I might well get it to sound close 
to another player whose sound I prefer. But that is why I prefer the sound 
of the player whose sound I don't have to tweak to make it sound as I think 
it ought; because I don't have to tweak it.


NONE of this talk of the quality of the sound produced by a player has 
anything to do with the good vs. bad scoring a player might receive in a 
sound lab's test of its technical specifications. In this regard, I suspect 
you are right; all the players would score pretty much alike.

Also, you might rip the tracks using a ripper that will see only the audio 
tracks, not any of the video content on the CD. I've done this using Easy 
CDDAExtractor. But, if you want to extract just the audio from a DVD that is 
ALL audio-video, you'd have to use something like DVDAudioExtractor, 
instead.

RE: Does the sound quality of different software media players differ?

Hi all

Perhaps I have not explained myself properly.

What I am thinking about is the sound quality of a player without using any
kind of equalisation at all.  The kind of sound setup I have does not need
any kind of equalization.

A friend of mine said that she can hear a difference in sound quality
between winamp and media player with the equalizer disabled  in both
players.
