[all-audio] Over-The-Ear Headphones

2019-02-19 Thread Steve Jacobson
Hi,

I used to have some Sony over-the-ear headphones that did not have a headband 
but had long hooks that went over the top of each ear to hold them in place.  
These were flat headphones that covered the ear but did not extend into the 
ear.  The headphones in question were discontinued several years ago, but I 
wondered if anyone on this list has found something similar that one might be 
able to buy today.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Re: [all-audio] Splitting large audio files using Total Recorder.

2019-02-19 Thread John Covici
I don't think you need the queue file to do the split, if I remember
correctly justuse the criteria  and push the start button.

Re: [all-audio] URL for Zoom please

2019-02-19 Thread Dane Trethowan
Thanks for capturing this.
The only differences I can see between the F8 and F8N are the way the AA 
batteries are installed and the voltage of the connector.
With the F8n the input voltage can be up to 18 volts.
As far as the batteries go the F8N takes the same amount of AA batteries - 8 
but they directly fit into the recorder rather than slide in and out on a tray.

Hi Dane.

Have a listen to this link.  It's all about the Zoom F8 and alternative power 
sources.

I don't think that there will be any difference between the F8 and F8N.

Yes I too am looking around at external Powerbanks for the Zoom F8n and 
there’s no doubt that they are battery hungry or can be might be the better 
way of putting it.
If the Zoom F8N is working at full throttle - that is to say you’re using 
192KHZ 24-bit recording on 2 SD cards - then you’re only going to get around 
4 hours out of a set of Alkaline batteries, even less for Rechargeable I 
would imagine though I’ve no idea how long with the Lythium batteries I 
purchased.
Back to the Powerbank, you can use any voltage between 9 and 18 volts and 
have the recorder switch power supplies if if the voltage of one power 
supply hits a certain threshold.
You might for example have the recorder switch to internal batteries if the 
Powerbank you’re using slips below 12 volts, at least then you have some 
backup and can stop recording proceedings at the earliest opportunity.
I don’t know what sort of warning one gets when the power supply switches or 
the voltage becomes low.
Surely the display would show something but that’s pretty much useless to 
us.
I know one can enable a low battery tone in the settings -I think its 
enabled by default - so perhaps you may hear that.
Yes it is a shame that we two seem to be the only happy users of the Zoom 
F8n in the blind community perhaps. Bare in mind that I had to save for 6 
months to get my kit and you probably dreamed about owning a Zoom F8n for 
just as long as I did  so with that in mind both of us have done 
extremely well and even more so considering we both are familiar with the 
wonderful Zoom H6 recorder.
Let me know how you get on with your search for your external power supply 
though I think you’ll probably find what I have.
I found the power banks as I stated above so what needs to be done now is to 
find the connections required and do some assembly.
Thankfully the manual of the Zoom F8n shows you what connections need to go 
to what.
Again hardly helpful if you can’t see the diagram.
All the same though at the very least we have something to give our sighted 
friends to lend us a hand.
I didn’t buy a sound bag and I talk about this in a subsequent eMail.

I'm going to get an external power supply with the Herosi , Erosie, 
Parding the spelling, to run my machine for over ten hours.  These are not

So I take it you now have your Zoom F8N in some sort of working and 
recording order, how do you find it? I can’t put my F8N down.
The F8N is the most wonderful recorder I’ve ever used though I still have 
fond memories of the H6 and I don’t forget  we all started somewhere 
before upgrading .

I’m trying to find some external power banks I can use with the Zoom F8N.
I also bought some Lythium batteries fro the recorder a couple of weeks 
ago.
Lythium batteries have a long shelf life and are much lighter than 
alkaline batteries whilst giving more power.
To be clear here I’m talking about Lythium batteries and not Lythium-iron 
batteries.

The Lythium cells I bought come in the AA size at 1.5 volts each cell.

Hi Dane.

Thanks for that link.  I'll check it out this evening.

Dane, when you got your Zoom F8n, did you buy a sound bag?

I got one and it's far too big and I'm aware that there is another 
smaller bag but I cannot find it.  That's  why I'm planning to wright to 
Zoom direct!


Keep the chin up and happy recording.

Very best wishes.

Re: [all-audio] Podcast Manager for Windows

2019-02-19 Thread Dean Martineau
An option which I haven't tried but which should work is Replay Radio version 9 
from Applian Technologies.  It is free for use as a podcatcher, and pretty 
accessible.  Version 11 is much less accessible, but when last I looked, 
version 9 is still available.  Also, if you own tapin Radio, it can serve as a 
podcatcher, but it isn't free any longer.
