Re: How to skip forward in Amadeus Pro?

2012-10-27 Thread Gavin Grundlingh
Hi Mike,

Usually, if I want to skip through a very long file in large increments, I stop 
playback, use the right arrow to move to where I want to be, then press 
Shift-Space to hear where I am. The amount you move with each press of the 
arrow is dependent on the zoom setting, which seems to be adjusted according to 
the length of the file you open. I normally set mine to 100%, find the spot 
closest to where I want to start editing, then decrease the value to move by 
smaller amounts until I find the exact place to perform edits. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Gavin Grundlingh

 Fellow audio editors,
   If I have a track that is somewhat long and I need to skip toward the 
 end what is the easiest way to do this?
   I know the arrows will fast forward and rewind as well as changed to 
 playing speed but is there a way to just jump through it?
   Thanks for any help ya'll. Enjoy the weekend.

Apple order for pre-shipment

2012-10-27 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi there,

Oppologise for a stupid question

After some consideration and some tips and advice i forward to her
from this group, my friend decided to go with IPad4 rather than a
Macmini at this point of time.

What will be the estimate delivery time from the item been shipt from
Apple wharehouse to the customer? I think she's going away in the
second week of November and wanting to know if she will get her ipad4
before hand. Apple told her that the IPad4 will be deliver between 2/8
november, but she's quite nervours as she is going off on the 10th for
2 months worth of holiday. :-)

I've no idea about Apple shiptment as i don't experience pre-order
with Apple before.

your help is very much appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Joanne

Re: Lost brightness on screen

As Mark said, you probably have it set so you need the function key to be 
pressed to issue commands involving the f keys. You can change this in keyboard 
preferences so that the f keys will perform their special tasks (brightness 
volume, all that) either only when the function key is pressed, or only when it 
is not. If it were me, I'd set things so the function key is needed to envoke 
the special commands, so I would not need to press it when issuing vo or system 
commands.

Re: question about a web site with Safari

2012-10-27 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi Teresa
Thanks for the information, and I'm a try to do what you said about resetting 
some things in Safari later. However, I discovered that Safari was downloading 
the file and sending it out to downloads as well as opening it. I didn't think 
it was saving it. So I ended up with a clean BRF file. So, now I can frustrate 
myself and study UVB. Hey, some of you may already know of course, but the 
stuff not near as straightforward as they told us it was in the website. 
Anyway, I'll go have some fun!!!

 Hi, Gigi,
 
 There are a few other things you can do as well. In Safari preferences, you 
 can uncheck the box that says open safe files after downloading, which is 
 in general preferences. This assumes you want to keep all downloaded files 
 from opening. On a case-by-case basis, you can use the contextual-menu method 
 by first interacting with the link, then pressing VO-shift-m.
 
 When you want to open a brf file, you can configure OS X to recognize brf 
 files. There are several ways to do this. The first is to go into the 
 contextual menu and choose open with, then in that submenu, choose other. 
 Choose your favorite text editor and then always use this application to 
 open this type of file. The other way is to press command-i for info on your 
 brf file and choose the default application from that dialog.

 Actually what usually works for me is option-return, but I've never tried 
 fn-return; perhaps that also works.

 hit Function key plus return.
 This works when you hit a link to aMP3 file and it will download the mp3 
 instead of opening and playing it. 
 Also when this happens you get no confirmation thats it has downloaded it, 
 you just have to look in your download folder.
 So it is worth a try.Try going to the link and instead of hitting return or 
 VO Space,

 Hi Alex.
 This is really weird, but I tried it twice just to make sure I had 
 followed what you said. I got it to work, but here is how. 
 
 First, I did what you said (the first time I left off the shift key.)) I 
 got the menu, but it said about saving frames. I saved one anyway to 
 Downloads. However, that file just saved out the links, etc. , no text of 
 the .brf file. When I called up the file I just saved, the link then 
 didn't ask about frames. It then asked about what you said, about 
 downloading files. When it saved out the file this time. it was saved with 
 a .brf.txt extension. It took off the .txt part, and it works fine in 
 TextEdit now. I forgot to say that I saved the first file I mentioned when 
 it talked about frames in downloads so I should be able, even if I have to 
 change the extensions to save the other files. I've never seen this happen 
 before, and I don' know if it would do the same in Windows or not. I may 
 have to let them know there is a problem. If anybody out there has 
 Windows, could you test it for me and let me know if this is just a Safari 
 thing or if maybe I could change how this web site is showing like 
 emulating Internet Explorer maybe. 
 
 Regards, 
 Gigi

 Same deal on the mac: right click the link. Move to it in whatever way 
 you want, then bring up the context menu with vo-shift-m and choose 
 download file. Let us know if that does not work.

 Hi guys. 
 I'm not sure if I need to contact the web site host or what here, so I 
 thought I would run it past you guys first to see if I'm doing something 
 wrong or if I need another command I'm not using or don't know or 
 something. 
 
 I have several files that I would like to download from the Braille 
 Authority of North America web site. I figure I'm going to need to study 
 UEB, just great. Just what I need, another useless project for me. 
 Anyway, every time I go to the web site to download informational files, 
 the link gets activated it Safari opens the file, but I want to download 
 the file and not open it in Safari. I used to inWindows use the 
 Application key which most of the time downloaded the file. Did they set 
 up the web site wrong and I need to contact them or what other command 
 can I use so that I can save the files and send them to my braille 
 display as a brf file. The other thing is that Safari won't let me save 
 the file as a brf file. I changed the name and changed the extension, 
 but unfortunately, I can't
