RE: Talking Blood Pressure Machine
I was looking for one of these a couple of years ago. I could not find one that connects to the computer. After calling several medical supply places around the country I finally found one for about $200, including the large cuff. I'm out of town and don't remember where I bought it. My unit would give over a hundred readings on 4 AA NiMH batteries.

Is there a talking blood pressure machine out there that I could use with a battery or one that connects to the computer and could be read out via my screen reader? A computer-connected one would be good, as I probably could email the info to my doctor for review or, in any case, I need one that will check my blood pressure and read out all of the settings.

RE: Streaming Clear Channel Stations
A number of Clear Channel stations stream on the web. Many choose not to stream because they have to pay the internet rates for any music they stream. Rush Limbaugh said the other day that his stream blocks all music, including parodies, because of the cost. Said the stations have to pay the royalties if they want to broadcast any music he plays. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2008 4:21 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Streaming Clear Channel Stations I asked about Clear Channel streaming stations on another e-mail list and got this answer from a Clear Channel employee.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles tour down under though some might argue its the 50th Anniversary since the Day Music Died, I'm of the view that The Beatles were just one big noise the 20th century could have done without but putting that aside I have to admit that - if you get the right stuff - some of the recordings made of The Beatles are quite stunning. I have 2 sets of Beatles material which I refer to whenever I'm feeling gloomy and must listen to Beatles material, the first is the Masters CD collection which was released in 1995 or there abouts, there are 18 CD'S in the set and they come in a mini writing desk type box, yep its made out of wood and all, cost me $375 at the time but it was well worth the money. The other set I have is the Masters in high resolution FLAC format, even better quality than the CD set I mentioned above. And - if you don't have a CD player or couldn't be bothered to look where to buy the high resolution FLAC set - then iTunes offers a very good substitute, the Masters in AAC+ which still sounds acceptable in my lounge room. Its unfortunate that there are so many dreadful Beatles recordings out there - even on CD - so you really have to know what to look for, my guess is that a lot of company's - 20 years ago - just wanted to get the material out there, remastered from old tapes and didn't really give a damn about the quality of the finished product. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane

RE: keeping bluetooth running on the iphone
This is a problem with all of the Bluetooth transmitters I have tried. The signal drops after an interval of no audio. The delay varies from less than a second to several seconds, depending on device. The problem is when the audio returns there is a delay while the Bluetooth devices go through their handshake protocol. This causes a loss of the beginning of the audio. One of my devices looses over 5 seconds every time although it is usually only a second or so. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of André van Deventer Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2016 10:05 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: keeping bluetooth running on the iphone Let us hope this is not the case.

Mary Cassia Hub handles multi-room audio with any Bluetooth speakers TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog We first met the Cassia Hub back at CES, a device that offered the similar connectivity to a WiFi router but for Bluetooth. Now the company is announcing a new feature that will allow owners of that Bluetooth "router" a way to connect their wireless speakers for multi-room audio. The new tool is called BlueStream and it works with any Bluetooth speakers alongside the company's Hub. Once your speakers are connected to Cassia's Hub, you can stream music from the likes of Apple Music, Spotify and other sources just like you would to a single wireless unit, only now the audio is sent to multiple devices. Instead of connecting to one of the speakers, you link your phone, tablet or even an Amazon Echo to the Hub to play tunes. The BlueStream feature will be available as a firmware update to existing Cassia Hub owners. If you haven't nabbed one yet, the Bluetooth device will set you back $150. And if you require speakers to make use of that new tool, Cassia has a 360-degree model for $80.

RE: Here's a Cool Little Program for Raising the Volume of Audio Files.
You can't tell it to raise the volume to a certain level. You can raise by fixed percentage values, only and have to try it and check the results. You also can't prevent clipping with this program. It is fairly fast and, with practice, you can adjust the volume of a folder in one or two tries. I am looking for a command line version of such a program. Preferably one that raises volume to a set level rather than by a set amount.

Sound editing and Marking Time Intervals
First, let me ask that you forgive my ignorance for using the incorrect editing terms. I've used Total Recorder for several years, mostly for very coarse editing. The other day I was attempting to clean up an interview trying to get rid of pauses and the all too many stumbles and realized that with Total recorder, it's only possible to move the editing markers by a tenth of a second gradations. So, as a result if I didn't by happen stance place a marker exactly between words, moving it to the left or right by a tenth of a second would make it too large of a leap. The result would be either to include the end of the last word of the phrase I whished to cut, or clip the first word of the portion I want to retain. My question is whether either Gold Wave or Sound Forge allows for much finer movements of editing markers? Any comments would be appreciated.

Minor League Baseball on the Net
I learned earlier this year that a triple A minor league team moving into my area would be carried on the net. Last evening I brought up the site and found that the broadcast was through MiMLB.com a division of MLB. The site uses the same media player, and the login is almost exactly that of Game Day. I then assume that the fidelity would compare to that of Game Day. When the broadcast began I was astounded at the higher quality. It was though I was tuning into an FM broadcast of the radio station carrying the game. I realize that Game Day at $14.95 a year is a bargain, but surely after several years at it, I would have expected an improvement in Game Day's sound.

Jim: that's a very generous offer on your part, many thanks. This is terribly imposing, but two individuals on this list who have responded to my Sound Forge questions have been Matthew Bullis and Michael Lang. Gentlemen would you consider serving as a panel. Perhaps there are others as well. Michael, I believe you reside in western Europe, so we'd have to work on a time which both serves your purposes and at least the west coast of the U.S. Perhaps scheduling it for three ninety minute sessions on consecutive weekends. We would have to presume that participants would have a basic working knowledge of SoundForge. This is not to say that participation would be restricted, but in order to accomplish the intended purpose of the sessions, the panel ought not be bogged down by very basic questions or repeating answers from one session to another. Once several volunteers have come forward, perhaps we could submit questions to give the panel a sense of the material to discuss. I suppose I sound a bit anal in my suggestions, but on a number of occasions I've observed such conferences be derailed by participants with only a casual interest in the topic. Thank you, Tony B.

Winamp plugIns and Total Recorder

Those familiar with Total Recorder are aware that in silent recording mode, Total Recorder will record at many times the speed of the original recording. I can not, however, find a way to have Winamp silently play a sound file into Total Recorder faster than 2.6 times it's original speed.

Re: Winamp plugIns and Total Recorder
Sorry, I should have pointed out that the WMA files are DRM (copy protected) files which Total Recorder won't open for obvious reasons. Before anyone should comment regarding the illegality of this practice, may I say that the illegality would be in distributing the re-recorded file. As long as I listen to, then destroy the file, I am observing the intent of copy protection.

I have better than 400 radio and audio streams stored as bookmarks.

Other than editing the Winamp.bm file, I've found no way to sort bookmarks. I find it useful to Arrange my bookmarks by genre. Classical, npr, oldies, and so forth.

Hardware Synthesizers with Jaws 64 bit Windows
In my business I do quite a bit of sound editing and always prefer to separate my screen reader voice, routing it to the dry and almost toneless output of a hardware synthesizer. I've made a considerable investment in several hardware synthesizers including both the PCI and external versions of the TripleTalk from Access Solutions. Within the last several months I installed a new PC running Windows 7 64 bit in my sound booth and was quite disappointed that Jaws for the 64 bit environment did not include drivers for any hardware synthesizers. At that point I contacted Mike Cozzolino of Access Solutions who agreed to begin work on the development of 64 bit drivers for the TripleTalk series. He quickly developed drivers to work with Window Eyes but has had little cooperation from Freedom Scientific in his efforts to develop drivers for Jaws. My question is whether anyone knows how and whom to contact at SF to try and get some movement on the issue? I've written to support, but received responses which told me what I already know, that at present there is no support for hardware synthesizers, which was my initial point. Here we have a vendor willing to invest the time and money to continue offering to support a product, and I would sincerely hope that SF would feel the same. I would be very disappointed as well to lose my investment in these hardware synthesizers. Tony Swartz To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Hardware Synthesizers in 64 Bit Environment
In my business I do quite a bit of sound editing, so I prefer to isolate the voicing of my screen reader away from what I'm editing. This can be achieved in several ways such as routing a screen readers output to a separate sound card or through the use of a hardware synthesizer. Through the years I have invested in several hardware synthesizers from Access Solutions. When I moved to Windows 7 64 bit, in the absence of 64 bit drivers, I found that the synthesizers were not supported by my screen reader. When I expressed my frustration to Mike Cozzolino, owner of Access Solutions, he took up the cause and has developed 64 bit drivers for both the triple-talk usb and the dectalk usb. In several months he should have the 64 bit driver completed for the triple-talk PCI, as well. To his credit, he is making the 64 bit drivers available at no cost to previous customers.

Total Recorder and Keyboard Commands
For those using Total Recorder, I'm not sure how many of you are aware that Total Recorder allows the user to assign a preferred keyboard command to virtually every function in Total Recorder. For instance, I have stop set to F5, Play to F6, Record to F7 and so forth. To assign keyboard commands: open the options menu with Alt O, the first sub menu under options is Settings. For some screen readers the title of the first sub menu might not be announced, so use your up and down arrows to assure yourself that you are at the Settings sub menu, then press enter. This will open a tree view of setting categories. The 4th one down is short cuts. Tab once over to a list of Total Recorder functions. Down and up arrow through the various functions. To assign a keyboard command to a specific function, highlight the function, then tab over to the press new short cut key button, press the desired key or combination of keys, then tab over to the assign button and press spacebar. I find then that I have to tab over a number of times to get back to the list of functions. If I instead shift tab to go back to the list, it erases the assignment I've just made. At the end of making keyboard assignments, tab over to the OK button and press enter or spacebar to preserve the keyboard assignments.

intro and the inevitable question re: making a musical recording with the Behringer Podcastudio USB
Hi everyone. My name is Tony. I'm an audiophile with little talent and even less money. I own the podcastudio set from Behringer, and I want to use it to make a recording of myself singing with an accompaniment track. For those who might not be aware of this set, it comes with a UCA200 in/out USB audio interface with RCA jacks, a small mixer, an XLR microphone, and a pair of really big headphones. My problem is that I can't figure out how to be able to monitor my voice, hear the accompaniment track, and make the recording without the accompaniment track also being recorded in the vocal track. The mixer only seems to allow for the capturing of the UCA sound card's output at the same time as the microphone. I am able to lay down the vocal track by itself without the accompaniment being part of that track, but then I can't monitor my voice. I can hardly hear myself with those huge headphones unless I monitor, but I would rather not use a different set. I got this kit to make podcasts that would allow me to patch the JAWS for Windows screen reader through to Goldwave so that it wouldn't sound like I just put a mic next to a pair of speakers, but I no longer make podcasts with it. It doesn't appear to do what I need for music as stated above, but I want to be sure I am not missing something before I try another solution. Perhaps someone on this list has experience with this and would be willing to help. I'd be grateful. I am wanting to surprise my wife by recording at least one song for her birthday, maybe even a whole album if I can find accompaniment tracks.

I don't really mind doing that very much, but I think I would make a better recording if I could monitor.

My name is Tony. I'm an audiophile with little talent and even less money. I own the podcastudio set from Behringer, and I want to use it to make a recording of myself singing with an accompaniment track. For those who might not be aware of this set, it comes with a UCA200 in/out USB audio interface with RCA jacks, a small mixer, an XLR microphone, and a pair of really big headphones. My problem is that I can't figure out how to be able to monitor my voice, hear the accompaniment track, and make the recording without the accompaniment track also being recorded in the vocal track. The mixer only seems to allow for the capturing of the UCA sound card's output at the same time as the microphone. I am able to lay down the vocal track by itself without the accompaniment being part of that track, but then I can't monitor my voice. I can hardly hear myself with those huge headphones unless I monitor, but I would rather not use a different set. I got this kit to make podcasts that would allow me to patch the JAWS for Windows screen reader through to Goldwave so that it wouldn't sound like I just put a mic next to a pair of speakers, but I no longer make podcasts with it. It doesn't appear to do what I need for music as stated above, but I want to be sure I am not missing something before I try another solution. Perhaps someone on this list has experience with this and would be willing to help. I'd be grateful. I am wanting to surprise my wife by recording at least one song for her birthday, maybe even a whole album if I can find accompaniment tracks.

re: making a musical recording with the Behringer podcastudio
Hi all. After a little more research, I found out that it's the combination of the Xenyx 502 mixer and the UCA200 audio interface that is the problem. My only decent solution is to buy another setup. I found that the Behringer 1202 USB should do what I need regarding making musical recordings while monitoring my input with headphones because it has the built-in audio interface. If anyone knows of a different solution for doing this with a USB or firewire audio interface, I would be grateful to hear about it.

RE: Audio software on Asus Netbook
Hi Dane. I don't know how much memory you have, but my experience tells me that the more ram you have on one of those netbooks for that sort of thing the better. Goldwave should not pose much of a problem, but you might get more stability if you could make sure the processor priority is lower than normal for intensive operations like batch processing. In cases like that, I also like to terminate the windows explorer process to give the computer more resources to work with. To do this 1. Open the task manager with Control+Escape. 2. Control+Tab until you get to the Process page. 3. Look for the Explorer.exe process and tab to the End Process Button. Press it and confirm. 4. Close the task manager. Ending the explorer process will get rid of your desktop and start button and system tray access, as well as any hotkeys like control+Alt+J for launching programs. However, you can still Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab to cycle between programs, and Control+Escape will still open the Task Manager. To restart the explorer process: 1. Open the Task Manager again as above. 2. Since the Processes Tab was your previous page, Control+Shift+Tab to get to the Tasks page. 3. Alt+N to start a new task. 4. Type explorer without the quotes and press enter. The Explorer process will come back again. This procedure should work with no problem if you happen to lose your screen reader, heaven forbid.

RE: Question about recording in Goldwave
Mark, I don't know what other responses you've received, but here's my 2 cents. If you have a sound card that includes the line-in as part of your playback controls, you can select the line-in in the playback control section of your Windows volume control. This is different from the one in your recording control part. This one will let you here what is coming into the line-in. It might appear in the form of a checkbox that says mute, which you would uncheck. Make sure that the corresponding sliders are also more than 0.

Is Cubase or Nuendo at all accessible with Jaws, or are there scripts available that will let you work in 1 of these apps? How does Cubase or Nuendo compare with Sonar? Another important issue, is voice tuning. The studio where I work, use Melodyne to do voice tuning, since it sounds very natural, not as synthetic as some of the autotuners out there. Also, with melodyne it's possible to tune small portions of music, even parts of a single note. I wonder if Melodyne can be accessed at all with Jaws, or is the lay-out too graphical? What good alternative is there to melodyne, if any, something that would enable you to achieve almost the same success as with Melodyne? Thanks for any help, it would be highly appreciated.

training dragon naturally speaking
Hi all. I find that it is a big pain in the neck to train Dragon just using a plain old screen reader because of having to navigate the window with the JAWS cursor while listening and talking at the same time. Sometimes parts of it get obscured, which makes me make mistakes, and the training doesn't seem to take. Is it possible to get recordings of the training exercises for Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Standard edition?

Subject: what's happening with Sound Forge? Hi Folks I've a bit of a question for those with good technical knowledge. It's a bit convoluted but I'll try and be as brief as I can. The system is windows 2000 on a 2.8 ghz machine: it's a laptop with two sound cards, one internal, and one pcmcia Echo Indigo card. I also use a 16 channel mixing desk into the pcmcia sound card. I use this for broadcasting on ACB Radio with the sounds and multi media control set to the pcmcia card, although I don't have it set to only use this preferred device. For broadcasting all is absolutely fine. Also for Skype, I use the microphone through the desk and that is absolutely fine as well. However, when it comes to Sound Forge and in fact Cool Edit as well, neither programme seem to see the sound card in terms of recording, although for playback both work fine. if I play something like a minidisk through the desk, the sound comes through my speakers okay, but the meters on both Sound Forge and Cool Edit don't register a thing. I have been into the Sound Forge and cool Edit preferences, both record and playback, and tried both Microsoft Sound mapper and the pcmcia card but neither seem to show it. Now here comes the interesting bit. If i, for example play something via Winamp set to the pcmcia card, Sound Forge doesn't see it, however, if I take a cable from the output of the sound card - to the input of the same card, and keep the volume level down, then Sound Forge sees it just fine and I can record and normalise afterwards. I've checked in sounds and multi-media and nothing is muted that shouldn't be on the pcmcia card. If I then try to use, within sounds and multi-media, the internal card, setting everything to that, and then put a signal into the pcmcia card via the desk, Sound Forge sees it just fine. Can anyone explain why, if Sound Forge is set to the pcmcia card, or to the Microsoft Sound mapper, when sounds and multi-media main controls are set to the pcmcia card, I can't record with it. I do hope this makes sense and sorry it's a bit convoluted but it's baffling me totally. Okay, I could and can set the sounds and multi-media to the internal card, but I don't like the idea of switching back and forth as I know I'm going to get it wrong one day when I'm broadcasting, and anyway shouldn't sound Forge see the card from the point of view of recording, if it's preferences are set to that card? Again, I do hope this makes sense to someone. many thanks for any help.

RE: Accessible DJ Software
Hi. I can recommend Ots dj for use as a dj. This software is little complicated but when you have played with it you love it, at least i do. It's not very accessible out of the box but with Snowmans script for it it rocks. One downside is the price, it's expencive ... I have used it now for 4 years and I like the sound and response from the software. It plays mp3s but you get more power of it with their own ots format. I have used it on live gigs and on internet broadcasts and I'm very happy with it. It's a good choice if you want to mix songs together and do good transitions between songs. You can read about it at www.otsdj.com Stationplaylist is also very good but it is designed more for radiobroadcasts and you can't mix songs together in this program. I also find Stationplaylist little sluggish in response to commands. More info at www.stationplaylist.com So think of what you wanna do with the software and go out and download a demo and play with it and you'll see wich one you like.

I have heard of PC DJ, Mix Master and Niro and I am not sure if they are accessible.
