Hello Carol,
Thank you so much. I think you have helped me solve my problem. The balance
appears to be right now.
Now I have another question about WinAmp. I heard some time ago that there
is an addon to Winamp that could change the pitch of music in Winamp. I
heard, however, that it was not very accessible. Is that true, Are there
addons that can change the pitch or speed in Winamp? If there are such
addons and if they are accessible, they would be very helpful for me when
learning a new piece of music.
Thanks again to all of you who tried to help me.

Hello. The keys for shifting the balance are shift plus alt plus the
five keys from left to right (unless your speakers are reversed) h is
all the way to the left, j is partially left, k is centered, l is
partially right and semicolon is all the way to the right. This should
help bring the volumes closer together.

I stopped using Winamp a while ago, so I can't remember how easy this was
to do. But perhaps you inadvertently shifted the balance one tick.
Good luck,

Hello Larry,
No, I am not using surround sound. I'm using sterio. It's just the one
side is slightly softer than the other so I don't get the central sound
when the announcer is speaking. The original default sound was surround
but I changed it to sterio.
Thanks any way. Maybe someone else will have some suggestion.

Peter, Sorry, but I didn't realize that you were referring to surround
sound. I'm still using old fashioned stereo here, and like it that way
<smile>. However, Winamp is also supposed to handle surround sound, so I
would just keep inquiring, and maybe you will come up with an answer.
This must be more than a little frustrating.
Good luck, and once again, sorry I couldn't help.

Hello Larry,
Sorry for not having written to you as promised. I have been bogged down
with other things and, have to admit it, just forgot.
I tried to follow your instructions by pressing alt+shift+k but couldn't
find how to adjust the volume of individual channels.
Thanks any way.

Peter, I saw your previous queries concerning Winamp, but saw it a day
after it was originally posted, so thought someone might have already
answered your questions. I will try to answer the questions I think I
can, and leave the rest to those who might be more expert on the rest.
When it comes to balancing channels, just press alt+shift+k while
playing an audio file or stream and you will be in business.
To read the title, press ctrl+shift+t.
When it comes to the volume with MIDI files, the only thing I might
suggest is to turn on your equalizer alt+g, then ctrl+tab to focus on
it, and then use your preamp settings, and turn them all the way up.
This will only work using a screen reader, particularly Window-Eyes if
you have the Winamp scripts installed. Otherwise, the equalizer is
almost impossible to work with by a blind user.
Your Winamp keys are tab for turning down the volume of the preamp, and
grave accent for increasing the volume.
Turning the equalizer up is not the answer in every situation, because
on some files, turning it full blast can cause a lot of unwanted
distortion.
Now, after having said all that, I'm not really sure if the equalizer
will work with MIDI files, because I haven't played around with those
things for many a year, but it can't hurt to give it a try.
To save the settings permanently, while in the equalizer, press the
letter s, and you will see an option to save presets. Give those
settings that you have just made to a file with a name of your choosing,
and if you wish to use those settings again, you can reload them at any
time you like. The file will be placed in the list of the various
settings that Winamp makes available.
HTH,
Larry

Hello all,
I have a few questions about WinAmp which I hope the experts can help
me
with.
1. I notice that when playing an audio file in Winamp, one channel
sounds
just a little softer than the other. This is not the case when I play
the
same file in Windows Media player. Is there any way I can adjust the
volume
of
each channel individually?
2. While playing an audio file in Winamp, is there a key stroke I can
use to
read the title of the file?
3. When I play a MIDI file in my collection, the volume drops to very
low
even though Winamp shows that I am playing the file at 100% volume. I
can go
to the System tray and crank up the volume, but as soon as the file is
played, the volume drops when I play the file again. This behaviour
doesn't
happen when I play MIDI files on line. What can I do to make the volume
setting permanent?
4. I have heard that WinAmp can be used to play flash player files on
YouTube. Is this true and how is it done if it is so?
My OS is Windows 8.1. I am using the "free" version of Window-Eyes
9.5.4
and I have both the WinAmp apps from Rod and Geoff Bishop. My WinAmp
version
is 5.666.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
