Terabites
Hi all. In the course of discussions about DVD's, people were wondering what would be next after gigabites. I think I heard that next, you would be in terabyte territory. Maybe eventually, the sky's the limit. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, At 16:19 13/10/2004 -0600, you wrote: If you are running XP you may have an option in your record section of volume control called what you hear.

So depending on which sound card is installed, and how the various controls in andy's system are labeled, he may not have a what you hear. If he has 1 sound card, and is using it for speech synthesis, then he may be better advised to record from the line-in rather than the on-line broadcast.

Windows XP question
Hello, everyone! I am thinking about getting a Windows XP system in a few months, but hanging onto this older computer in case things don't work out. Someone says that there are compatibility issues between XP and Nero, which is the burning program I use. Would I be able to use Cdex on another system? Does Windows XP have the same volume control layout that Windows 98 has, which includes settings for line-in and things like that? And, I am currently using Window-Eyes 4.5 so wonder if I would have to get another version of Window-Eyes to use with XP HOme. Any answers to your questions will be greatly appreciated. Being on a budget, I'm limited to what I can spend. Thanks.

Re: Microphone level too quiet.
You know, it is a driver thing. For example, I have a Dell computer with a SBLive card. I had another computer with the same make card. The same microphone is to quite when I use it with the Dell no matter what I do. The normal SBLive driver won't work with the Dell SBLive card. The 20 DB boost check box that is in the record controls of the normal SBLive driver is in the playback advanced controls of the Dell. Some one said that you could get a little amplifier to go between the mic and the computer.

Re: Windows XP question
Hi Mi mi. I moved to XP Home about 2 years ago and use jaws 4.5. Like yourself, I am interested in audio and use, successfully, Goldwave, CDex, Winamp, Win mx and Nero. There are some configuration changes that you need to make to enable jaws to work better and I'm not sure if the same is necessary gor Window Eyes, but I'm really pleased that I moved from 98 to xp home. For jaws users, it is important, I believe, to have the xp home edition, as oposed to xp pro, as jaws would also need to be upgraded to the pro specification. Again, not sure about Window Eyes. XP home has features that you don't get in previous operating systems and the most important of these is the ability to Restore your computer back to a previous dat. For example, you may mess up your computer, perhaps by downloading a particular program which xp does not like. If this occurs, you can simply set your computer back a few days and everything is well. Hope I'm not going on too much her. Best wishes. Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.

Hi all. The subject line says it all. I have three mini-plugs on the back of my computer. The first has my line-in attached to a minidisk. The second is for my speakers, so I've plugged the microphone into the third socket. I've bumped everything up to 100% in the volume control of XP and did the same to the volume control within my sound card. However, the sound is very low. Not an expensive microphone, but I'd have liked better. Perhaps there is something else which I need to do. I'm using the microphone with Goldwave. Any advise would be very welcomed. Thanks.

Well I'm very pleased to say that the new version of FLAC now available has some major bug fixes. Firstly (and this will be noticible to those of you who use Winamp with the FLAC plug-in) the error that Winamp and the Winamp FLAC decoder produced whilst scanning through a FLAC file has now been fixed so that's a big plus. Second, the importation of a cue sheet into a FLAC file now works, thus the cue sheet can be exported from the FLAC file along with the Wave file which is a result of the decoding of the FLAC file, great stuff! for those of us who use EAC etc. Extra support now comes with FLAC to enable it to work with Nero. A Windows GUI front end is included as standard with this new version along with the usual console 32-bit command line version so take your pick, the front end interface is very accessible. It would appear that all console commands and switches are available through the Windows front end. The installer and Windows front end are compatible with Windows 95 and up. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 8.1 Comment: A Member Of The TFT BBS Digital Security Initiative iQA/AwUBQWudvilBPqY64aUBEQIKOwCfWcfnLr344Ibri1ABZ8ZlzG5J7z8AnjeP QGrqFJ6hbN0k8jTvs1DhQRi5 =gvT4 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is an answer to Mimi's inquiry. Mimi, you will have to upgrade your Window Eyes program from 4.5 standard to 4.5 professional if you move to XP.

Not sure about most of this, but for Window-Eyes, go to www.gwmicro.com and download Service Pack 4 for Window-eyes 4.5 and you should be okay. Be sure to save that file just in case W-E doesn't want to work right on the original program.

Re: Windows XP question
I don't mean to be argumentative about this, but I'm quite sure that the information that downloading SP4 for Window Eyes 4.5 standard will make it work with XP is simply incorrect. Only Window Eyes Professional will work with XP computers. It would be nice if simply upgrading to SP4 would enable one to use XP, but it's simply not the case. Check it out with the folks at GW Micro, and you'll get the same advice.

Sound card info needed

How do they compare in terms of sound quality and signal to noise ratio with the Sound Blaster u s b mp3 plus? Do all of these cards use stereo mini jacks or do some have R C A jacks for the line in and or aux jacks? Lastly, on my Real Talk AC 97 as well as a couple of Sound Blaster live value cards I have owned, the microphone volume level was lowsy even when set to max with the 20 db gain boost enabled. This has been true regardless of which mikes I have used. Is this typical? If so, why? I want a sound card where I have to back the mike gain down to make recordings. No problems with the aux and line in levels, just the mike pre amp. Thanks for ideas.

if you have a stereo tape deck go to Radio Shack and ask for a 6ft stereo Y jack with 2 male RCA and 1 male mini. Plug the RCA's in the back of the tape deck and the mini into the line in of your soundcard. You will need a program such as GoldWave, coolEdit2 or sound forge.
