Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
Well, as long as it can have a speaker. I already have focusrite interface. I cannot buy a expensive windows pc as it won't help because I need something like garageband and the windows stuff don't do it for me.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
I should warn you before you go ahead with your iMac purchase that the modern-day iMac - as great a tool as it is - does not have a built-in sound device any longer, only built-in microphones and a headphone output so you’re going to need some sort of external sound Interface more than likely. There are of course many interfaces available so take your pick. As to why Apple decided to take away the built-in sound Interface from the Mac line? Well that’s Apple for you ain’t it . I think it only fair to point out to you that - if its the all-in-one convenience you grave then there are Windows alternatives if you would rather not go down the Mac road. I have been using Mac machines now for. 25 years full-time and I have enjoyed every minute of my experience. I started with a Mac LC-630 machine with Outspoken. Apple lead the charge with the Introduction of the VoiceOver Screen Reader in OSX Tiger back in 2005, thankfully Windows has followed suit with Narrator. > On 10 Jun 2019, at 7:16 am, Aidan wrote: > > Dane, I am also thinking of getting an IMac, since then you have > everything in one, and its goog for audio, and I get the full feature > set in apps like garageband and yes, ios don't have something like > audio hijack yet. > And if you need to get the job done, weel then that is just necessary. > And IMac also have stereo speakers. > > On 6/9/19, Aidan wrote: >> Gina, I love google assistant.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
Thank you for bringing this model of speaker to my attention. The thing I really liked about the Amazon Alexa Tap was its portability even though this was limited to the boundaries of a Wifi network there will still ways around this. One could take the Tap wherever one wanted to journey to and use the Hotspot feature of your Smart Device as a Wifi connection to the Tap. Overkill one might say and that’s true but one has to admit that Voice Assistants are just damn convenient particularly when they perform the tasks you wish to your exacting standards . > On 10 Jun 2019, at 7:14 am, Aidan wrote: > > Gina, I love google assistant.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
Dane, I am also thinking of getting an IMac, since then you have everything in one, and its goog for audio, and I get the full feature set in apps like garageband and yes, ios don't have something like audio hijack yet. And if you need to get the job done, weel then that is just necessary. And IMac also have stereo speakers. On 6/9/19, Aidan wrote: > Gina, I love google assistant.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
Hi Gina, Google Assistant is very good at understanding human voice. Probably the best at it at the moment. Alexa is almost just as good, but dear miss Siri lacks quite a bit behind. The response voice that comes with Siri is seriously upgraded with iOS 13 which definitely sutes her!

Hello, I wondered from your perspective, what assistant works best for you? I get the impression that Google, Alexa and Siri are equal in terms of understanding my request.

I have a bit of a speech impediment that also causes her to not always understand what I say; I will send a text message, using Siri; if I say something that has the "R" sound, she'll sometimes get it wrong!

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
Firstly the Mac mini doesn’t have stereo microphones but it does have built-in in and out connections for analogue and digital. Further to this the Mac mini Late 2012 has 4 USB 3.0 ports plus a Thunderbolt port thus an easy way to add yet more high speed USB ports if required along with further sound devices. So some examples. I have a Belkin Thunderbolt Dock which not only has yet more USB ports but yet another set of audio in/out connections. You can of course use your USB Sound device of your choice by just plugging it into the one of the USB ports and no extra drivers are needed for those high sampling and bit rates your device may support. So with that out of the way lets look at some audio software you may consider using and the first product that comes to mind is Audio Hijack. Audio Hijack does exactly what the name suggests, the App Hijacks any audio source from your computer whether it be App, physical hardware device or even a virtual machine running Windows, its your choice. So once you’ve decided to capture the audio you then can decide exactly what you want to do with it, record it to whatever audio format you like, send the audio to another device whether physical, software or AirPlay or even over the Internet, its all up to you and everything works right out of the box so you don’t need a pilots license, truly amazing stuff. So that’s just the start. > On 5 Jun 2019, at 9:46 pm, Hamit Campos wrote: > > Dude the geek in me would love a Mac Pro. Or even the Core I9 I Mac even.

Re: [all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
Hi! Well, one can have different thoughts. I guess this will just be more Ios like on the mac as they split things. I was sadly missing the event but i will listen to it later. THe new Mac Pro which of course is out of my money range was interesting even though its nothing i will spend money on. /A > 4 juni 2019 kl. 23:15 skrev Dane Trethowan : > > I’m sure many of you on list were following along and what an event it was, > certainly far better than the other session Apple held a few months back. > The highlight for me was the announcement that iTunes is to be split into 3 > different Apps and not before time too I hear you all say. > Apple Music App will handle all your music.

[all-audio] Yesterday's Apple event
I’m sure many of you on list were following along and what an event it was, certainly far better than the other session Apple held a few months back. The highlight for me was the announcement that iTunes is to be split into 3 different Apps and not before time too I hear you all say. Apple Music App will handle all your music. Apple Podcasts your podcasts etc and Apple TV for the rest, sound familiar? It certainly does so if you’re using an IOS device. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
