Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 9:22 PM Subject: Re: Removing Pops and clicks Hi Anders, Over the past few days, I've tried different ways of removing pops and clicks with varying results and am now back using Sound Forge. I've come to the conclusion for a novice, like me, it is certainly the easiest to use and consequently more effective. One thing I did discover from using one of the other programmes is: when copying a tape or other recording, such as vinyl, it is best to keep the bit of track before and after the recording actually begins and ends. Then when the Pop and Crackle Remover is run, the information is used to remove surface noise. It has made a great difference to the end results I am now getting. I have also tried to do a better job of cleaning the records before copying and will continue to look for even better cleaning products. One tip I got from using Google, is to use a piece of plain old fashioned velvet for cleaning off surface dust. I then use a product for cleaning glass that I use on my scanner. They are called 'Cleaning Wipes' and are pieces of soft paper that have been soaked in some sort of cleaning solution. They come in packs of 50 hermetically sealed sachets and do a pretty good job. For removing the occasional really loud pops that are sometimes missed by the automatic removal method, I've found it is easy to remove them manually with Sound Forge. When recording an LP, I time it and make a note of the time where these pops occur. I can then easily find them when the recording is finished. Then, using the left and right arrow keys the pop can be isolated with a bracket either side, enabling it to be lifted out of the recording, leaving the original sound in tact. I do hope this is of some help to someone and if anybody else has further tips, I'd love to hear them. Best.

Re: Nero and 2 second pause
Hi Gary. The only way that I know of to get rid of Nero's two second pause is to change it for each track once you have them all listed. to do this, simply take the following steps. 1. Highlight each track, not as a group, but one at a time. 2. With each track, go into properties and tab till you hear the word 2. 3. Replace the 2 with 0. 4. the next tab will say seconds or frames. It defaults to frames. Leave it there. 5. Tab to okay. Again, as far as I know you have to perform these steps with each track. There may be something in preferences that instructs Nero to default to no pause, but since I only use the no pause feature occasionally, I haven't actively pursued it.

Re: color identifier
I have spent a little time with the Voice-It-All and Color Teller. The Voice It All is very basic in the types of colors it announces. If that is all you want along with a money identifier then it is acceptable. The voice recorder is so basic I found it to be nearly worthless. The Color Teller is quite a bit more detailed in its color identification. Also, the case is designed far better.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats

Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 4:07 PM Subject: Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats Thanks for explaining this. One more question about settings: I've learned from you how to make variable bit rate settings. Now, if I wish to try the average bit rate approach described in the manual, I wonder if I've discovered the way to set it for that. There isn't any button or anything for doing this, so I poked around in the combo box list of various variable bit rate types. First you have Disabled, then you have the default one, I guess that's what you're expected to use normally. Then you have a couple of variations whose names I don't understand. And then, last on the list, is an option written as VBR -ABR! could this be the choice that sets the encoder to use an average bit rate, as a sub-type of variable bit rate? Does anyone know? this program, though the price is right and the operation fairly simple to navigate with a screen reader, is pretty bad in terms of how things are named and how the documentation is written. I mean, it truly makes no sense at time. It doesn't say, for instance, how to set VBR or ABR despite discussing them, and I see it's given one reader the opposite idea of what it meant by cautioning against not using a floor setting. Same for the on the fly explanation. It starts by saying one thing, then reverses itself not out of intention but just because the writing is confused, and no one edited it for clarity. I believe your own explanation of the on the fly deal sounded right. I've noticed that ripping takes much longer when you uncheck it, so I assume this is because those operations I'm hearing tracked by the progress bar involve a first one that writes the track to an image, as you put it, and then it converts that to an .mp3. But honestly, this stuff wouldn't be so hard if the interface and documentation were a little better done. I know, beggars can't be choosers. So step on my pencil cup and smash my blues guitar. But still. Okay, so what about the ABR setting? Is that how you'd make it? and then do you still set a minimum and maximum for it to work with? thanks, guys. coencodr fr - Original Message - From: Kevin Lloyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
I don't know whether the issues with the full version of 1.51 were only screen reader related but they may well be. I don't think there's a company behind this software just a very generous individual. People pay for an interface that isn't as accessible and easy to use as CDEX and yet uses exactly the same encoder so it really is the best freeware around as far as I'm concerned. That's why the documentation for variable bit usage is not that extensive. It's not a CDEX feature, it's a lame feature. These are all settings provided by the lame encoder and the CDEX developer has just given some basic details on what settings can be changed in the lame encoder. I'll take a look at the average bit rate setting which I believe is VBR-ABR as you mentioned. However, I wouldn't use this method of ripping over the variable bit rate as it works subtly differently. With average bit rate, the whole file is analysed and the average calculated so if you have a file that is 2 minutes of 128kbps and 2 minutes of 256kbps, the average is going to be 192kbps. With this setting the whole file will be ripped at 192kbps so you use more space in the 2 minutes of 128kbps that you didn't really need and you lose 128kbps of extra sound information from the 2 minutes at 256kbps that is required for high quality reproduction. With variable bit rate, in the example above, you'd have got 2 minutes at 128kbps and 2 minutes at 256kbps as each frame of the MP3 file is analysed individually to ascertain how many bits per second are required to reproduce high quality sound. In this very simplistic example, both files would have been the same size `192kbps multiplied by 4 minutes and 128kbps multiplied by 2 minutes plus 256kbps multiplied by 2 minutes. Regards.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
Kevin, Many thanks for the clear explanation. I guess you've sold me on the merits of the continuously variable rate approach. I was briefly confused because the vague documentation seems to confidently promote ABR while explaining VBR but hinting that one may make bad choices with it, without explaining what they mean by that. I didn't mean to impugn this generous person's freeware offering, only to say forthrightly that the instructions provided simply aren't clear. And I've written things of this sort, among other tasks in my free lance writing experience, so I'm not being catty or arbitrary, and certainly not (I don't think, anyway) dense. I could point out every juncture at which the text doesn't say what you have to infer it thinks it's saying, and other times when it says nothing where it should have. None of twitch I'm saying bitterly, considering how explicit and patient you're being to clarify this stuff.

With variable bit rate, in the example above, you'd have got 2 minutes at 128kbps and 2 minutes at 256kbps as each frame of the MP3 file is analysed individually to ascertain how many bits per second are required to reproduce high quality sound. In this very simplistic example, both files would have been the same size `192kbps multiplied by 4 minutes and 128kbps multiplied by 2 minutes plus 256kbps multiplied by 2 minutes. Regards.

Updated M-Audio Delta drivers.
Hi Folks: As you know, there has been an update in the M-Audio drivers. I don't think there is much to get excited about; however, for those who are interested, the new version seems to work well with my DeltaPanel JFW scripts. You can download the driver package from my server at: ftp.compuconference.com Be careful because the previous version is still there in case panic sets in.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
Remember, it is your choice whether to install a beta copy of software. Beta means the product isn't fully live yet, that there are still issues with the program. Beta testing is a way for the users to give feedback to the developer of outstanding issues with the program. I'm straying off topic for this list, so I'll be quiet now. - This message was written and composed on the Pac mate. -- Visit my blog at http://wil.wilanddenise.com -- -Original Message- From: Yardbird [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5/10/05 7:41:02 PM To: PC audio discussion list.

Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2005 12:27 PM Subject: Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats I use that version of CDEX as I think most people on the list do. There is actually an updated version 1.6 available now but I'm not sure what the new features are. It's true that when you hit enter on a help topic, JAWS will start reading the page. You can't use your PC cursor to read the page back but you can use the JAWS cursor to do so. Alternatively, use control + A to select and control + C to copy and paste into a word document. This does work and here's the CDEX introduction copied in exactly that way. Introduction This document describes CDex, a utility for extracting sound files from CDs in your CD-ROM drive, and for converting WAV files into several other (compressed) formats, like the popular MP3 format. The latest version of CDex can be downloaded from: http://www.cdex.n3.net System Requirements Status of CDex Acknowledgements Change log Kevin E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Yardbird [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2005 8:14 PM Subject: Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats One more thing: I just opened the copy of CdEx on my computer and attempted to study the help file topics about things I need to learn. But even though the topic list is set up like a tree view, and I can navigate it fine and open books or topics to arrow to their sub topics, when I hit Enter, I'm taken to a page that 1. starts reading audotmatically in Jaws if I don't touch the keyboard, but can't be read deliberately with the arrow keys and Jaws reading keystrokes. I thought maybe I could compensate by selecting and copying each topics's text to the clipboard and pasting into a text editor to read, but my attempt to do this also failed, for some reason. Also, the text seems incomplete, from what I can figure out, like only topic headings are given but then there's no actual writing beyond that.
