Neal -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Friday, March 15, 2013 11:45 PM To: VIPhone Subject: Re: Fire 2? Hi Fanus, To change the button action so you can record by double tapping the Record button instead of sliding it to the right (which you'd have to do with VoiceOver turned off) in FiRe 2, go to Settings (4th of 5 tabs on the bottom), double tap, then flick right to Transport and double tap, Then, on the Transport screen, under the Record Button heading, flick right to Button Controls. A further flick right will tell you the switch button status, which is initially set to off. Double tap to set this to switch button, on, and you will notices that some of the other options under the Record Button heading, like Slide To Stop, will disappear. I also set the switch button for Hold to Record to switch button, off, so you don't have to keep holding down the Record Button for the length of your recording session. The ability to change the way of starting recording in Settings by tapping instead of sliding the Record button is a recent modification (version 2.6, January 2013). This is basically the reason that Annie and I stopped playing with this app when this new setup for FiRe 2 appeared in late 2011. Fanus, I think Carla was mainly thanking me for some old tips on using the Mail Archive page to search for posted content on this list, more than for describing how to change the Record button action in FiRe 2. Let me tell you how you can find out the answers to your questions for yourself, by using the link to the Mail Archive page that appears at the end of every post: http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone%40googlegroups.com/ First, just typing search terms into the text box on that page and pressing enter will give you several good results, shown as a list of links to posts by subject line, with a brief section of matching text context, along with a date and the name of the poster. This is like being able to do a Google search on this mailing list's contents, But you can also filter the results according to the poster, date range, and subject, and you can use wild cards like the asterisk character in your search terms, if you're not sure of the spelling. So, for example, since Neal Ewers started the discussions on FiRe 2, a good way to search for content on FiRe 2 would be to type into the search text box: from:Neal FiRe and then press enter. The from: filter term ends in a colon, and whether I leave a space after the colon before typing a name is optional. The arguments are not case sensitive. However, the name I type in must match a word that shows up in the From: field of his posts. It can be either a first or last name, or it can even be more than one word if I enclose his full name in quotation marks, but that's generally not necessary.This search will give me every post that Neal wrote which contains the word, FiRe somewhere in the post, and I'll be told (at present) that there are 13 matches. The results are listed in order of relevance to your search term, so posts where FiRe appears several times will be listed first. But if I want to catch up with how Neal first introduced the topic, and any questions he may have posed to the list, I can add the filter terms sort:oldest to have the oldest posts appear first, or I can use sort:newest to have the most recent matches listed first. Again, there is a colon after the word sort, and I could place these arguments before or after the search terms or from filter in my search text box. Most often I'll use the command to move back a page to return to my original search text box arguments and either add arguments to or modify the search terms I used, depending on how many results I got, and how these turned out. So my search terms could be: from:Neal FiRe sort:oldest And when I press the return key, I find that his first post on this subject is Questions about Fire 2 Field Recorder, and that short synopsis shows he's asking how to change action of the Record button. Now if I activate the link to that post in the list of results, I can read his full post. What's very powerful about he Mail Archive page is that there are access-key shortcuts that work for any browser/operating system combination
Re: Fire 2?
Hi Chris, I'm going to paste in a tip that Mario left in another thread discussing FiRe that you participated in, with subject title: Recording while out. It doesn't show up in the search thread results example I wrote up for Fanus, where I listed how to find the various starting posts of threads that discuss FiRe 2, because the originating post doesn't mention FiRe. But if you read through the subject link results of a search for posts that Neal made on FiRe, and compared them with the subject link titles of posts on FiRe that began threads, you'd have picked this one up. You'd also have found it if you read up and down the threads of all of Neal's posts on FiRe. begin quote tip: when you have recorded something, the playback cursor is alwais at the end of the track, and you can't click the play button. To go to the start of the track, disable vo and double tap the middle left and right sections of the screen. end quote Mario also gave a brief post of where to change the settings for the Record button action in that thread. By the way, FiRe isn't the only music app that bypasses the normal Mic recording, but many of the others are not accessible. take a look at this list of Core Audio iOS apps from the iOS Musician page: http://www.iosmusician.com/2012/06/list-of-core-audio-ios-apps.html Thie list on thus page can be read with Safari Reader (e.g., on an iOS device, double tap the Reader button in the Safari address bar, or on a Mac, press Command-Shift-R to toggle into and out of the reader, to read only the article and not the surrounding web page contents). However, if you navigate by headings through the full page, you'll find a list of currently oh sale music apps (heading level 2). This includes the Korg synth apps like iKaossikator at half price ($9.99 vs $19.99 until March 20). Haven't tried this myself, but the deals are posted up at AppleVis with links to the app and podcast entries. HTH with both FiRe and information on using the Mail Archive search functions.

Re: Fire 2?
Hi Esther, Thanks very much for your tips. I have now successfully made some recordings with this app and I have to say that the results are pretty amazing even though I used the built-in mic. I've not attempted any editing yet but I've been reading from the mannual and see no reason why this isn't do-able. I've not come across the various settings for female voice etc yet but there does seem to be highpass lowpass etc which may be worth experimenting with. Take care, Cokes.

The editing functions and additional customization for sampling rates were added in version two of the app, which I haven't tried to use yet with VoiceOver. They also allowed you to record mono tracks, and provided various equalizer settings to boost male or female voice recordings, or optimize for specifc settings, like lecture recordings or concerts. The sort of features that were accessible in version 1 of FiRe that you didn't find in other such apps were precise marker placement and navigation by these markers within tracks. One warning for something not to try with VoiceOver: do not attempt to get and use the Røde microphone apps, because these will kill VoiceOver. In the original release of FiRe, there was a separate, free version of the FiRe app that was released for the Blue Microphone product called Blue FiRe. Blue FiRe and the first version of FiRe are long since gone from the app store, but the Blue FiRe app was a useful free version of FiRe to learn on. It didn't have all the accessibility features of FiRe for marker placement, but it had an introductory recording explaining how the app was used, and included a lot of the basic recording features of FiRe. If you had an iPhone 3GS or early generation iPod Touch, you could use it to record. While I was reading about Audiofile Engineering's recent iPhone microphone support, I came across references to the Røde iXY microphone for the iPhone 4S and older iPad models. This is billed as a 24-bit/96kHz-capable recording device that demoed at the Consumer Electronic Show and started shipping last month. It also was supposed to have a special version of the FiRe 2 app to use for recording (same price of $5.99 for the app), and a free recording app named RØDE Rec LE, both by RØDE Microphones. I'll just say that if you load the RØDE Rec LE app and launch it, your VoiceOver volume will get set to 0 with no way of getting the volume back unless you can kill the app, or reset your iPhone. You can kill the app in the app switcher if you perform all the VoiceOver gestures without sound feedback, and VO will come back. Or if you have the regular FiRe 2 app in your app switcher and can switch to that, you can also get sound back. Just don't even bother to try the RØDE Microphones apps if you use VoiceOver without vision. They won't be of any use. HTH.

Hi, you get to the various presets for different voices and other things by tapping settings in the app and then tapping input. Tap on preset at the end of the list and you can swipe through the various ones. If you turn on play through, which is in the same input settings, you can monitor the microphone with headphones and hear what each preset does without even recording it.

Re: Fire 2?
this string. So my search terms are: FiRe 2 -Re sort:newest and when I press return, I get 7 matches. They include one thread about games and a second about a drive that can be used with the Kindle Fire, which is why I added the sort argument , since the threads discussing FiRe Field Recorder are recent. You can now activate these links and use Control-n to read down every post on this topic. For more information on search syntax and access-key shortcuts, check the Mail Archive FAQ pages at: http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html I hope this has been a practical example of how to use the search function to find content in the list archives. It takes about a day or less for new content to be indexed for searches, but if you're looking for recent posts, you can simply go to the Mail Archive web page for this site without searching for text, and do a Find on that web page. Also, although I described how to do a search on the Mac, you can equivalently move to the links for the next and previous posts on iOS devices. Finally, you can copy the URL address of the post you want to reference (e.g., on a Mac, move to the Safari address bar with Command-L, and copy the URL with Command-C), then paste the link into your mail post with Command-V. There's also a recent AppleVis podcast that describes how to create 3- line web shortcut files on the Mac that you can place on your Desktop or in the Dock, and open to open your browser at that web page. I make such web shortcut files that open on the Mail Archive pages for these lists. You can read printed instructions for doing this on a Mac at John Panarese's MacfortheBlind pages: http://macfortheblind.com/Tips-and-Tricks-for-the-Mac Navigate to the heading for Web Shortcut Files Here's the shortened link to the AppleVis Podcast page in question: bit.ly/10BKauz HTH.

I've not attempted any editing yet but I've been reading from the mannual and see no reason why this isn't do-able.

Well Esther, you have just upped the count on the Fire 2 post by a couple. One is me thanking you for all the knowledge that you spread on this list. And now I need to post some update information I learned today from the Fire 2 developers. Thanks much for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Fanus, To change the button action so you can record by double tapping the Record button instead of sliding it to the right (which you'd have to do with VoiceOver turned off) in FiRe 2, go to Settings (4th of 5 tabs on the bottom), double tap, then flick right to Transport and double tap, Then, on the Transport screen, under the Record Button heading, flick right to Button Controls. A further flick right will tell you the switch button status, which is initially set to off. Double tap to set this to switch button, on, and you will notices that some of the other options under the Record Button heading, like Slide To Stop, will disappear. I also set the switch button for Hold to Record to switch button, off, so you don't have to keep holding down the Record Button for the length of your recording session. The ability to change the way of starting recording in Settings by tapping instead of sliding the Record button is a recent modification (version 2.6, January 2013). This is basically the reason that Annie and I stopped playing with this app when this new setup for FiRe 2 appeared in late 2011. Fanus, I think Carla was mainly thanking me for some old tips on using the Mail Archive page to search for posted content on this list, more than for describing how to change the Record button action in FiRe 2. Let me tell you how you can find out the answers to your questions for yourself, by using the link to the Mail Archive page that appears at the end of every post: http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone%40googlegroups.com/ First, just typing search terms into the text box on that page and pressing enter will give you several good results, shown as a list of links to posts by subject line, with a brief section of matching text context, along with a date and the name of the poster. This is like being able to do a Google search on this mailing list's contents, But you can also filter the results according to the poster, date range, and subject, and you can use wild cards like the asterisk character in your search terms, if you're not sure of the spelling. So, for example, since Neal Ewers started the discussions on FiRe 2, a good way to search for content on FiRe 2 would be to type into the search text box: from:Neal FiRe and then press enter. The from: filter term ends in a colon, and whether I leave a space after the colon before typing a name is optional. The arguments are not case sensitive. However, the name I type in must match a word that shows up in the From: field of his posts. It can be either a first or last name, or it can even be more than one word if I enclose his full name in quotation marks, but that's generally not necessary.This search will give me every post that Neal wrote which contains the word, FiRe somewhere in the post, and I'll be told (at present) that there are 13 matches. The results are listed in order of relevance to your search term, so posts where FiRe appears several times will be listed first. But if I want to catch up with how Neal first introduced the topic, and any questions he may have posed to the list, I can add the filter terms sort:oldest to have the oldest posts appear first, or I can use sort:newest to have the most recent matches listed first. Again, there is a colon after the word sort, and I could place these arguments before or after the search terms or from filter in my search text box. Most often I'll use the command to move back a page to return to my original search text box arguments and either add arguments to or modify the search terms I used, depending on how many results I got, and how these turned out. So my search terms could be: from:Neal FiRe sort:oldest And when I press the return key, I find that his first post on this subject is Questions about Fire 2 Field Recorder, and that short synopsis shows he's asking how to change action of the Record button. Now if I activate the link to that post in the list of results, I can read his full post. What's very powerful about he Mail Archive page is that there are access-key shortcuts that work for any browser/operating system combination, and that let you read up and down the threads.

RE: Fire 2?
Hi, I was conversing yesterday with a person who uses the Fire 2 app on IPhone 4. There seems to be one striking difference between the use of this app on iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. I am using 5, and whenever I load the default profile with all my settings, the VoiceOver volume drops dramatically. This does not seem to happen on iPhone 4. I communicated this to the developer and it is their thought that it may be some difference in the OS which they may not be able to overcome. They will check and see. Of course, one can simply raise the volume of the iPhone 5 to compensate. The only way I have found to get the normal volume back is to delete the app from the app switcher. I'll keep you up to date if I hear anything different on this front.

FiRe doesn't record in AIFF or WAV or AAC the file format right off the bat. Recordings are stored at the highest possible quality, which is 32-bit floating point, raw samples. These raw samples are converted to your choice of, WAVE, AIFF, CAF, AAC, Apple Lossless, AAC, Podcast, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC when you export the file. You choose which you want as you start the export process. To keep the file sizes small you may want to consider AAC. However my file sizes exported are relatively small I tipicly use WAV to preserve broadcast quality as I use them on air. However I can sometimes do use AAC if the file is a bit larger the end user, aka the listener can't tell a difference. I tipicly use MP3 when using audacity if the file is a bit larger use WAV for smaller files. There is no conversion to MP3 FiRe has no plans to support MP3 due to patton copywrite issues... Hope this answers your question. SP - Original Message - From: Courtney Curran To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 10:42 Subject: Re: Fire 2?

One warning for something not to try with VoiceOver: do not attempt to get and use the Røde microphone apps, because these will kill VoiceOver. In the original release of FiRe, there was a separate, free version of the FiRe app that was released for the Blue Microphone product called Blue FiRe. Blue FiRe and the first version of FiRe are long since gone from the app store, but the Blue FiRe app was a useful free version of FiRe to learn on. It didn't have all the accessibility features of FiRe for marker placement, but it had an introductory recording explaining how the app was used, and included a lot of the basic recording features of FiRe. If you had an iPhone 3GS or early generation iPod Touch, you could use it to record. While I was reading about Audiofile Engineering's recent iPhone microphone support, I came across references to the Røde iXY microphone for the iPhone 4S and older iPad models. This is billed as a 24-bit/96kHz-capable recording device that demoed at the Consumer Electronic Show and started shipping last month. It also was supposed to have a special version of the FiRe 2 app to use for recording (same price of $5.99 for the app), and a free recording app named RØDE Rec LE, both by RØDE Microphones. I'll just say that if you load the RØDE Rec LE app and launch it, your VoiceOver volume will get set to 0 with no way of getting the volume back unless you can kill the app, or reset your iPhone. You can kill the app in the app switcher if you perform all the VoiceOver gestures without sound feedback, and VO will come back. Or if you have the regular FiRe 2 app in your app switcher and can switch to that, you can also get sound back. Just don't even bother to try the RØDE Microphones apps if you use VoiceOver without vision. They won't be of any use. HTH.

Re: Fire 2?
Hi, FiRe 2 sounds like a neat app; I just might have to buy it. I'm curious about something, though. What kind of microphone is in the iPhone 4? I play in a classic rock band and would like to record our gigs. Is there an interface to the iPhone that would let me hook up a couple of good PZM microphones with 1/4-inch jacks? We use pretty heavy firepower on stage, Marshalls, Mesa Boogie amps and the like and we generally crank them up. So I'm looking for a very small recording tool that will give me clean stereo recordings at high db levels. The PZM microphones that I have will cut the db level back considerably, and that combination of mikes, whatever interface I'd need plus equalization and other features of FiRe 2 might just be the ticket. Any thoughts? Tom - Original Message - From: Esther mori...@mac.com To: VIPhone viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 7:45 PM Subject: Re: Fire 2?
