Re: Anyone use a Zoom H6 for audio recording

Re: How to record phone calls - How-To - PC Advisor
If you run freeswitch, you could use the portaudio module to get the output of the phone line to your sound card which should do what you want. Freeswitch is a whole pbx, so this may be overkill for you. You would also need an adaptor to convert your phone line to sip.

Re: Recording calls on the Iphone.
There is no way to record calls on the iphone directly. There are two possible things you can do. 1. Get an app like groundwire and get an account with a sip provider and make and receive calls through that number and you can record. 2. There are apps which allow you to make a call and then add a call to their servers which will record the call. I think this has been prohibited by Apple or some such and this is why you have to get around this.

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac
For the ripping, use the external programs tab. If you want to use flac, you will need to download it separately and install and put the path to the binary in the external programs tab and specify all the options to the flac program that you want. After the rip is done, just don't check the hybernate checkbox and the pc will not hybernate. Hope this helps. On Sat, 12 Nov 2016 16:04:24 -0500, Chris Skarstad wrote: > > Hi.

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac

You might still run into cds not showing up in the database, but that's a different program.

bluetooth speaker recomendations
Hi. What are people recomending for a decent bluetooth speaker which will not break the bank, but has a decent sound? The Bose has a new one which is cheaper than ths Sound Link II, so I am considering that, but any other suggestions would be appreciated.

need high quality recording app
Hi. I am in urgent need of a high quality recording app -- one where I can have 44.100 sample rate or higher and works with voiceover on my iphone. I have tried something called recorderplus which has the features, but is very unfriendly to vo, you push the buttons and sometimes nothing ahppens, amoung other things. I bought a good external mic which uses usb audio, so for these live recordings, which are classical music, I need something which works well. The mic (rode xyl) has an app, but it destroys voiceover till the next reboot. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Re: Bose and B
This I agree with absolutely, I have one of the higher end ones (p7) -- saved a bit of money buying openbox -- and I like that the base is not overwhelming like the Bose, you really hear what was intended, depending on the recording.

Re: Another goldwave question
Well, play2 si set to play selection, but what was happening is that it would play past the finish marker.

Another goldwave question
Hi. I have found something very strange in goldwave -- I had a small selection of about a second and hit f3 and it kept right on going, but then I hit control left bracket and after that f3 just played the selection -- what am I missing here?

Re: another goldwave question
I like it a lot (the scrub), thanks for that hint.

It does work, the only strange thing is no good way to control how far those control-arrow keys move, what I did was view selection and it was not too bad that way. john riehl <realma...@verizon.net> wrote: > Autoscroll lock is checked; it was checked when I was having this issue. > > > > From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Colin > Howard > Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2015 7:56 PM > To: PC Audio Discussion List > Subject: Re: Goldwave question > > > > John, > > You need auto-scroll-lock in the view menu to be checked then all markers > and arrows will do as you desire. > > I did write to the group having forgotten to advise when giving details > about how to delete a selection from the file. > > > > > > __ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature > database 12295 (20150922) __ > > The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. > > http://www.eset.com -- Your life is like a penny.

Re: Goldwave question
Hi. I have been using goldwave, and I tried to follow your post to set the markers, so hear is what I did, play1, play2, and play3 are as you suggested and I set the preview to -0.150. Now, I can't move the start marker with any of the arrow keys, control left arrow or control shift left arrow, its still in the same place -- what am I missing. I set the view to 1 second. The right marker is way off there, I wanted to play briefly and then drop it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The inability to close total recorder is a uia bug which effects both Window-eyes and nvda. Nothing can be done unless Microsoft fixes that bug, or someone finds a clever way around it.

Re: Gigaset C610 IP VOIP Phone
Does it speak the caller id number or name? Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net wrote: Yep I’ll give a description once I get my head around everything, still some things to explore. I can tell you now that one of the things I like about the Kigaset is that the buttons are a hard plastic and require a firm press, I don’t like those rubber buttons and in any case, I find they don’t last too long. The buttons trigger a very short identifiable beep when pressed, the volume of this beep can be controlled, the beep sound is nice and short thus its not annoying as is the case with so many phones these days for the home market. Shortcuts are a plenty with this device, holding down the hash key locks the phone for example, that function is a toggle and holding down the number one key calls the voice mail service if you have one, you can define the number called. there are 2 soft keys at the top which can be defined to perform different tasks, open a list of the various VOIP providers for example so you can scroll down to the one you want to dial out with. Of course you have the regular features that can be set up such as dialling plans and rules, these are set up from the built in Web Configurator.

Best regards Brian -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] På vegne af Dane Trethowan Sendt: 1. august 2015 02:03 Til: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Emne: Gigaset C610 IP VOIP Phone The phone arrived sooner than I expected, ordered it yesterday and it was at my door around an hour ago. I’ve just configured the phone and the task took less time than I thought it may, everything was clearly laid out in the support guide provided by Internode though this phone certainly supports other VOIP providers which either can be configured manually or are already there in the firmware of the Gigaset, all the user need do then is to type in the appropriate user information particular to the user. so a brief description of the phone would seem in order. If you’re a user of Siemen’s cordless phone systems then the design will look perfectly familiar to you, a simple base box with a “Paging” button on the front and a number of handsets depending on how many you purchased with the base, in my case I have one handset though I may buy more in the future. The system can handle both VOIP and PSTN calls, a maximum of 6 different VOIP accounts from different VOIP providers can be installed and configured, these can be used simultaneously along with the PSTN line, the Gigaset can handle 3 parallel calls at any one time. Users of Gigaset VOIP phone systems can set up separate Gigaset VOIP accounts, this way all Gigaset users throughout the world an communicate via the Gigaset network for free, handy if you know a whole bunch of people with Gigaset phones, as for now I’m using the Nodephone VOIP system though I do plan to configure Mynetfone, I also have my PSTN line connected. Still a fair bit to do, I have to configure the answering machine - the gigabit can support 6 answering machines - and I have to do some tweaking but I do know at this point that I can make and receive calls and that’s the important thing. Such a system as described would be incredibly useful for those who didn’t want to muck about with a separate VOIP adapter, who just wanted the phone. If you buy the Gigaset from Internet then it will come pre configured, all the user need do is to connect the phone to their rooter. ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind. ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind. -- Your life is like a penny.
