[all-audio] Any DVD Pro Platnum

2018-03-27 Thread Dane Trethowan

This software is a very nice and reasonablly accessible DVD ripper.

Best of all DVD Cloner Platnum can backup encrypted DVD'S and rip them 
to ISO image files should you require this sort of thing.


A variety of video formats are available and the list is comprehensive.

The company also make a companion tool Any DVD Converter Pro I think its 
called.


I've been using the 2 pieces of software for over 2 months and they're 
the most accessible DVD tools I've found for Windows PC thus far though 
Screen Reader users may need to use the JAWS Cursor etc from time-to-time.


If you look on the web site you'll find various tutorials that instruct 
on the use of Any DVD and these are quite well written and to the point.

Re: [all-audio] Notes on the Yamaha CDR-HD1500 Hard Drive Recorder

2018-03-27 Thread Dane Trethowan

As a follow-up to my eMail yesterday.

Appointments for me were canceled this morning so that meant I had extra 
time to play with the Yamaha.


I've now worked outsome of the editing functions mainly how to erase 
tracks and discs - discs in this context refers to groups of tracks 
copied or recorded to the unit -.


Tracks and discs can be divided or combined with complete audio feedback 
so if you use a Minidisc recorder you'll feel right at home using the 
Yamaha recorder.


The layout of the menu structure is fine however there's a lot in the 
menu system of this recorder so it does take a little learning.

Are you thinking of maybe of doing A podcast describing it and show us some of

Subject: [all-audio] Notes on the Yamaha CDR-HD1500 Hard Drive Recorder

Two words spring to mind when using this Hard Drive recorder and they
are flexibility and convenience.
Yamaha have added a CD Drive to this recorder you can copy to and from.
You’ll also find a set of digital and analogue inputs/outputs so yes the
recorder can record digital/analogue from other sources such as a
digital tuner or Cassette player.
The machine can be used as a DAC, connect a digital source to the
digital input and hear the resulting output through the analogue
connection jacks which is often better than the analogue you would hear
on the source itself.
Up until now I’ve used my computer systems to rip CD’S but given how
convenient the hard drive recorder is I don’t think I’ll be bothering
with the computer too much in the future for CD ripping for my personal
CD collection.
Copying a CD to the Hard Drive is as easy as inserting the CD, pressing
the “Copy” button and then pressing the “Play” button to start the CD
copy procedure, copying of a CD to the Hard Drive takes around 10 minutes.
The copy method I described above is the basic copy method and there are
others which are more advanced, you can select the track or tracks you
want copied from your CD for example so I’ll get to trying those methods
out in time.
Each CD copied using the recorder is put into a separate “Group” thus
one group per CD.
You can switch easily between “Group” and “Track” selection by pressing
the jog-dial which toggles between these two modes whilst in playback.
Added to this are the skip forward and back buttons thus you can switch
to “Group” mode and use the buttons to move between tracks in a group.
Editing functions are available to allow the user to put in names for
groups and tracks but I have no need for this as its easy enough for me
to identify the CD’S I’ve copied over by the tracks presented in each group.
You can mark favourite tracks and play them from you “Bookmark List”,
unfortunately the recorder only handles one Bookmark listing.
The recorder can use CDR or CDF-W discs for recording, pity the recorder
won’t handle CD-RAM discs as the Panasonic equipment does.
The recorder has a Headphone amp however the amp has problems as it
compresses the output sound at louder volumes.
Front panel controls are well laid out but I prefer to use the remote
control as the remote contains direct buttons to control more of the
recorders functions directly along with a numeric keypad with letters.
So that’s everything I’ve discovered about the recorder so far, I’ll
write to the list as I progress with the recorder.

Ah that's cool.

Yes through USB you connect your PC, Mac etc.
Actually the amp has 3 USB ports, one for connecting to a PC obviously, one to 
take an iPhone or a Usb stick for playback and another that just supplies power 
so you have a charge port at your convenience or something say to power a 
Google Chromecast etc.

Hi!

Every year around January I attend the sales at my local HiFi outlets to see if 
I can afford one or some of the wonderful devices reviewed in the Stereophile 
and similar audio magazines in the past 12 months, this year it was the Rotel 
A14 and CD14 Integrated Amplifier and CD Player I was keen to get hold of to 
match the T14 Tuner/stream I bought in January 2017.

There are many things to be said about the A14 and CD14 so if anyone has any 
specific questions then please ask. I'll just cover what I believe to be some 
main points about the Rotel 14 series.

Starting with the amp which offers 80 watts RMS per channel though the testing 
says the amp delivers 105 watts.

The A14 has an excellent set of inputs which include tuner and CD inputs, two 
Aux inputs, 4 digital inputs - 2 Coax and 2 Optical which feed a 38400K/32 bit 
DAC -, a Bluetooth APTX input and finally inputs for your iPhone or a USB input 
to allow connection to your Mac or Windows PC thus the Amp can be used as a 
sound card with a digital link to your computer for playback of audio.

The front panel is well laid out with a row of buttons on the front for input 
selection rather than a jog-dial which can confuse when trying to select the 
appropriate input.

Tha A14 can be connected using Intel's link system to form an integrated system 
thus all the components can be controlled by an IOS app for source selection, 
text display of the CD titles, text display of DAB and FM RDS broadcasts, 
selection of tuner presets, manipulation of connected Bluetooth devices etc.

The 14 Series App is very accessible on an iPhone where I use it here.

Volume, Balance, Bass and Treble can all be controlled by the App along with 
speaker A-B sellection.

The A14 has a great headphone out facility, one of the best I've heard in an 
intigrated amp.

If you wish to expand the system further then you can add sub-woofers to the 
A14 or a Power Amp.

The CD14 CD player is a basic CD player however don't let the 6 buttons on the 
front panel deceive you, lacking buttons the cD player is but sonic quality and 
build are both outstanding.

CD Text of tracks can be displayed using the Series 14 IOS App thus if you see a track 
titled say "Baby Come Back", double-tapping the track title will cause it to 
play.

All the usual transport controls ar available in the App.

The T14 is not only a tuner but a network streamer thus you can listen to music 
from all the popular music sources such as Spotify or stream music from 
anywhere on your network.

The T14 is also compatible with Chromecast, Apple AirPlay and DLNA so let your 
imagination run free.

Rotel's T14 also has no trouble whatever streaming Internet radio.

So there you have it all in a nutshell, a truly excellent HiFi system with 
plenty of flexibility and functional features.

Re: [all-audio] Zoom H6 thanks for the recommendation

2018-03-27 Thread Dane Trethowan
Thanks for that and anyone who recorded with a Zoom H6 would more than enjoy it 
I reckon.
I heard Neal’s review on the product, its in the Blind Cool Tech archive - 
Blind Fools Wreck if you prefer - which I have on my system.
I’ve read about the Zoom R8 - 8 track recorder - which sounds utterly amazing 
but offers more than I’m ever likely to use but a recorder without a doubt for 
the audio professional who wishes to take things to the next level.
Zoom has quite a name for its recorders now and wipes the floor with the so 
called “Big Boys” of the industry such as Tascam, Roland and so on.
Many reports and reviews I’ve read lately point to shortcomings in those 
recorders offered by Tascam, Roland etc.
It would appear that those company’s are sacrificing good quality product in 
the name of being the cheapest out there thus the performance and build quality 
suffers in the final product whereas Zoom have come up through the ranks so to 
speak and learnt from customer feedback and their own mistakes.
I started life with a Zoom H1 as list members will probably remember as I’ve 
written about it often enough and I still hold to the view that for $99 - 
that’s what I paid for the Zoom H1 8 years ago -its an incredible bargain of a 
recorder and just so easy to use.
Like everything else the Zoom H1 has its pros and cons but still an incredible 
and well well regarded recorder if you’re on a bit of a tight budget.
I’ll be getting some more capsules for the Zoom H6 including the shotgun mic.

Re: [all-audio] Zoom H6 thanks for the recommendation

2018-03-27 Thread Andy via Groups.Io

Hi Dane.

Welcome to the Zoom club.

I've had mine for about 2 years and love it.

I'm getting a bit of a reputation in my community for being available and 
recording local bands, chures, concerts and solo singers, etc at really high 
quality.


Thus far I've only used the plug in X Y and Right Angle plug ins, so have 
not dabbled on the rest of the available 4 tracks.


I was thinking of buying a couple of Sure microphones with stands, but 
around £150, it's a bit outwith my means and the plug in mics are perfect 
anyway.


Finally, have you listened to Mr. Neil Ewars podcast on this device.  If not 
I can provide it, via Sendspace.


Finally, if you get around to the menus structure document, I'd love it as 
sighted assistance is not always available.


Finally, finally and final finally, Did you know that there is also big 
brothers to the Zoom.


Not sure but Zoom 8, 10 and 12 ring a bell but about £800 a pop!

Please let me know if I can be of any help to you, but must say that I'm a 
very amateur recordingist.


Andy.

Hi!
Thanks to the list member who recommended the Zoom H6 recorder, I’ve had 
mine for a month and to say I’m pleased with this recorder is indeed an 
understatement.
The Zoom H6 is the best field recorder I’ve ever owned for so many reasons 
which include usability.
The ability to record 6 tracks at once right out of the box is a plus as 
none of the recorders I have will do that.
The sound from the supplied microphone capsules has to be heard to be 
believed as it sounds so much better than most other supplied microphones 
for field recorders you’re likely to hear.
All of the functions I use are accessible without the help of the menu 
system though I do plan to write a menu shortcuts document for the recorder 
though its the usual thing of finding time.
