Yes I have used KBPiano for a few years. Now I can't comment on how well it will work with Jaws but I use it just fine with win-eyes. First make sure you are in the main window of the program. There is a music creator window but that window is not speech friendly so you want to be in the untitled window. Lets now type control-p which will put the program in practice mode. Press notes on the bottom of the keyboard and see if you hear sound. Press escape to cancel this window. If no sound is heard lets press The letter p and that will bring up a patch list where you select the instruments you'd like. This should at least get you started Dean but if you need more help Please drop me email and I'll help you. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 2/4/2009 at 9:17 AM dean martineau wrote: KbPiano is a neat-looking little program that turns the computer keyboard into a music keyboard.

Sound Forge 9 Aborting Files
Some may recall that I wrote to this list back in early January to ask about getting Sound Forge 9 to play through my laptop speakers while recording. Fortunately, I found a solution to that problem that didn't include having to buy an external sound card. Turns out the laptop can send the incoming signal from the cassette player to the laptop speakers just fine. Now the problem I have is that when I finish doing a 45-minute recording and tap either Enter or Alt+F4 to stop the recording, Sound Forge 9 closes, and it seems to abort the file I've created and not yet had a chance to save. Windows intervenes, telling me that the program needs to close, etc. When I reopen Sound Forge, I obviously hit the recover button, but then I'm told that an error has prevented this project from being completed. I never get to recover my files, and I don't know the name of the actual media file created. I've done searches for dot sfw files, thinking perhaps that's the native format Sound Forge uses to create those temporary files. I've also done searches for files that begin with frg, and can only find a log and some temp files, which Sound Forge refuses to recognize. You should also know that I've set up Sound Forge such that it automatically stops recording to the hard drive after 46 minutes, which is just about right for the conversion of cassette books to MP3 format for use in my Stream. In any case, if anyone else is seeing this behavior, please let me know what you think may be the cause. It's so intermittent I can't find a reason or a pattern. I suppose it could be a memory issue with the laptop, but I have four gigs in the laptop, and eight gigs in a ready-boost situation; so you wouldn't think that would be it. It truly frustrates me to spend 45 minutes spinning a stupid cassette only to lose the file as soon as the recording stops. It's gotten to where I just literally hold my breath and hope whatever session I'm working on doesn't spontaneously abort.

Is this possible with Goldwave?
Hi listers, I just downloaded a couple of audio books, and unfortunately, the person who converted these books didn't convert the files into a single file for each cd, but left all the tracks converted as individual tracks. All I want to do is to take these files, and place them in their proper order, and making one mp3 file for each cd. As of a few minutes ago, I took a look at the batch processing options in Goldwave, but can find no one step way to select all these files, and consolidate all these mp3 files into one file. Is there a way to do this, or must I copy each file, one after the other, adding them to the last mp3 file created in a manual fashion. Surely there has to be an easier way to do this. If some one can instruct me in the best way to go about what it is I am trying to do, I would really appreciate the help. The reason I would like to accomplish this particular task, is to make it easier to listen to these files on my Victor Stream, rather than the Victor classic, because fast forwarding, and rewind are so much better on the stream.

Re: iMic
there is a little switch on the right side of the IMic which is used for Mic or Line input. look beside the headphone jack and you should find it. it isn't a lever as such, but feels like part of the sound card. it slides back and forth.

Re: Sound Forge 9 Aborting Files
Hi Nolan, and this sounds very very anoying! First off I'm not on SF9, but still using SF7. I had issues rather like this last year and found updating my soundcard driver to be the solution. To make a general point, updating drivers for soundcards, video and keyboard is a really good idea anyway. Not for nothing the Superior Apple folks bang on about the stability of their machines and this is in some part due to well written and up-to-date drivers matching the hardware, Oh, where was i? Yes, Sound Forge. I think the temporary files Sf creates end in .FRG rather than starting with that sequence. I have found that moving SF's temp file to the E: partition on my hard drive makes these temporary files much easier to locate. (This is done under the many Sf Options in the tools menu. I've found Sf to be co-operative on the odd ocasion it does crash and the files are either recoverable or else can be found. Do hope you sort this one out - and do let us know the solution when you've found it. Ray. Nolan Crabb wrote: Some may recall that I wrote to this list back in early January to ask about getting Sound Forge 9 to play through my laptop speakers while recording. Fortunately, I found a solution to that problem that didn't include having to buy an external sound card. Turns out the laptop can send the incoming signal from the cassette player to the laptop speakers just fine. Now the problem I have is that when I finish doing a 45-minute recording and tap either Enter or Alt+F4 to stop the recording, Sound Forge 9 closes, and it seems to abort the file I've created and not yet had a chance to save. Windows intervenes, telling me that the program needs to close, etc. When I reopen Sound Forge, I obviously hit the recover button, but then I'm told that an error has prevented this project from being completed. I never get to recover my files, and I don't know the name of the actual media file created. I've done searches for dot sfw files, thinking perhaps that's the native format Sound Forge uses to create those temporary files. I've also done searches for files that begin with frg, and can only find a log and some temp files, which Sound Forge refuses to recognize. You should also know that I've set up Sound Forge such that it automatically stops recording to the hard drive after 46 minutes, which is just about right for the conversion of cassette books to MP3 format for use in my Stream. In any case, if anyone else is seeing this behavior, please let me know what you think may be the cause. It's so intermittent I can't find a reason or a pattern. I suppose it could be a memory issue with the laptop, but I have four gigs in the laptop, and eight gigs in a ready-boost situation; so you wouldn't think that would be it. It truly frustrates me to spend 45 minutes spinning a stupid cassette only to lose the file as soon as the recording stops. It's gotten to where I just literally hold my breath and hope whatever session I'm working on doesn't spontaneously abort.

RE: Is this possible with Goldwave?
I would use the command line to achieve what you want. For simplicity, perhaps put the files into the root folder of drive c:, or some other easy p lace you can find. The easiest scenario would be if you wanted all the files from the book to end up in one file. So if the book is called my multifile book, with each chapter being a file with a name based on that name, Go to the run dialog and type cmd. You then have to navigate to the folder where the files are. In my example, type cd \ to get to the root of drive c:. Now type this, paying attention to punctuation: Copy /b my multifile*.* thebook/mp3 Press enter. To close the command line, type the word exit and hit enter. You should now have a file called thebook.mp3 in the root folder of your c: drive.

Goldwave question, never mind
Hello again listers, Just wanted to let you know that I figured the whole thing out, as I am want to do, especially after posing the question internationally g. I found the merge option, and am currently in the process of merging 102 mp3 files, hopefully in their proper order. I did notice that the last file in the cue was listed first, and that isn't good, but I guess I can deal with that little quirk. I've seen this happen in Nero, and had to rename the file in order to sort properly, at least I believe remember that working. As you might be able to tell, I don't use Goldwave all that often, or nero either as a matter of fact. Anyway, I'm sure that one of you would have given me the answer if I hadn't figured it out so soon. Anyway, all's well that ends well.

And, no, the Soundblaster Live 24bit external doesn't continually try to steal the default device assignment, just the logitech headset does that. - Original Message - From: Peter Alan Smith psmith.harv...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 4:44 PM Subject: RE: iMic Hi Donna, that is exactly what I want to do as well.

Re: Is this possible with Goldwave?
Hey Dennis, thanks for your answer. As I said in a later post, I managed to remember the file Merge option just after posting my question to the list. Actually, to be accurate, I was reading the changes page on the Goldwave site for v5.25, to which I immediately downloaded and upgraded and heard the term File Merge and it hit me g. As I said, I don't use the program a whole lot, so I tend to get a little rusty with the recall. Now, could you tell me if it is possible to keep the Merge from placing the last file in the merge cue at the top of the order?

RE: Sound Forge 9 Aborting Files
Yes, it actually works great with WE 7.01. But your point is a good one. I wonder if one of those funky WE scripts is causing my file abort. Surely not, but still, it's worth a thought. Clearly, I've become the unrestrained paranoia poster boy. LOL I seem to have no problems editing with it; works better for me than does JAWS or System Access.

Hi, Brian. Odd. I went into the options dialog and I tabbed to that particular field and I then pressed down arrow I think, until I got to 192. There was one radio button which I think was set to a nonvariable bit rate, but that was probably because I hadn't highlighted a file yet.

Re: Is this possible with Goldwave?
I found the bet way to handle this problem is to select all the files within a folder you want to merge with the ctrl A key. then go down the list of selected files removing the ones you don't want to be merged in the big file you are creating. open the final selection and zoom to the top of the list before starting the merge process. - Original Message - From: Larry Higgins lhigg...@tbcnet.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 3:39 PM Subject: Re: Is this possible with Goldwave?

Hope you can help with the iMic
Hi Donna, Gary, Alex, et al: Y'all have been very kind and patient with me. Thanks ever so much! I don't have individual email addresses so I can't go off-line. Sorry to those who are disinterested. Here's the situation now that I have the iMic: I have a Dell laptop, Windows XP, with a SigmaTel Audio soundcard. I am usually hooked up to a port replicator which also has its own sound card called C-Media Headphone Set. I have Jaws 9.0 as the screen reader and Goldwave as the sound recording program. To start with, I assume that I should disconnect from the port replicator and use my laptop with the SigmaTel Audio default card. So before shutting down, I should go into Control Panel, Sounds, Audio tab, and check the box at the bottom that says use only default devices. I then do a shut down. I attach the line outs from my tape deck into the iMic line in adaptor plug and plug that into the line in plug on the iMic. I flip the switch to line in on the side of the device. I then unplug the USB port replicator. I plug in the iMic USB plug and restart the laptop computer. Will I hear Jaws when it comes on? Do I plug in a set of headphones into the output jack on the iMic? If I don't get any sound, I will have to abort. The one thing that I will need to check is that my sound settings in control panel and Goldwave are on the iMic for the recording device and that the playback settings are on either the iMic for the headphones plugged into the iMic or without headphones on the SigmaTel card. But I can't do this without Jaws. In the old days when my old device was sometimes working, along with doing the checkbox in the control panel sounds audio settings, I would bring up the Jaws 9.0 ini file and insert the following at the last line before the synth2 line: Synth1Port=SigmaTel Audio I don't know if I should do this or not. Some have advised that I do this and some say it is not needed. I hope that you can help. It's been a struggle to get back to eliminating my vast tape and vinyl collection. This is all I am focused on besides my job. It has become a quest of sorts. I wish I had a sighted person along side that can help, but it ain't happening without much pleading. Besides this isn't rocket science, or is it? Smiles! Let me know what you think! You can contact me via any of the contact points below.

Re: Is this possible with Goldwave?
OK Gary, this is the way I did it. I simply selected all of the files I wished to merge from the folder in Windows Explorer, then copied all of them to the clipboard, then move focus to the Goldwave Merge dialog box, and paste them all into that box. I would think that would take care of the problem, meaning, that my selected files would be placed in the proper order. However, that blasted last file in the bunch still insists on being the first in the list. I did find a rather clunky way of dealing with this problem though. I simply opened up the completed product file in Total Recorder, and cut the material from the last cd at the beginning, and placed it at the end of the file, making things right, but I really shouldn't have to go to all that trouble. I guess I can at least be thankful that at least I have that option.
