If you google both terms respecttively, you will get an extensive review of
the two. maybe more lengthy than what I can provide. If you have any
question or cannot find anything, I will try my best. but I believe you will
get a better understanding if you try a search first.

  any good music store, ebay, musicianfriends.com samedaymusic.com  Z
zound,
  music123.com Samash.com,  etc. Many places.
  You don't need an expensive mic for what you want to do. And make sure
you
  get fantom power for the mic, or ask for one that does not require
fantom
  power. Or, ask for a good dynamic mic. Most Condensers run on Fantom
  power.
  but I also believe that a good dynamic mic will do the job as well. but
  condenser is neeter.

new computer for audio editing

2005-04-30 Thread Paul Porter
I am looking to replace my existing pc with a new one. Would a new 64 bit 
processor dramatically speed up the editing of audio using Soundforge and 
goldwave compared to a 32 bit processor. I've been looking at Alienware. Does 
anyone on the list have one of their machines?

need help with MP3 direct cut

2005-04-30 Thread Susan Wojtecki
Hi folks,
Well, my brain seems to be on vacation today, lol.  i have had no difficulty 
opening files using MP3 direct cut in Windows 98 but can't seem to manage 
the open dialog in XP.  I'm using the classic startmenu configuration and 
can find the files I want when going to c;\my documents and settings or via 
c:\compaq owner's documents in my computer.  i've even moved the files I 
want to work with into the my music subdirectory and can see them when 
arrowing up and down the list manually, but when i either type in a file 
name to the open dialog or attempt to use the look In list the file(s) do 
not show up.  Being fairly new to XP I'm assuming there is something basic 
that I am missing regarding the setting up of the documents list but can't 
quite figure it out.  What settings do I need to change so the whole 
document list is visible as in windows 98?  hope I have explained the 
question clearly.

Also, where can I find the audio tutorial that Robert Hebard did regarding 
the MP3 cut program?  The link I have does not appear to work.  Any advice 
concerning the above questions much appreciated.

Susan,

XP tricks you when it comes to  the location of folders.  The my music folder 
is actually 
located at:

c:\documents and settings\owner\my documents\my music

but fortunately mp3 direct cut remembers the folder you most recently used.  
Also, of course, 
you can browse for the my music folder.

John,
That is the URL i had, but I basically got a page not found error and 
Comcast, which is also my ISP, directed me to what appeared to be their

but I think I may have backed up the audio files when changing to mnew PC, 
so hopefully I'll find them.  Anyway, thanks for the help.

Don,
I knew that should have worked.  Remember what I said about the brain being 
on vacation?  The files I want to split are playlist files with m3u or PLS 
extensions, info courtesy of the details view which I should have checked in 
the first place, duh!  Anyway, I found I can split actual MP3 files so 
haven't completely lost my mind.  i wish there was an easy way to extract 
parts of a playlist, any thoughts? In the past I've re-re-recorded using 
Total Recorder,.  Again, many thanks.

Two Iriver players

2005-04-30 Thread Bobcat
I've heard on this list that the Iriver IFP-790 is easy for VIPs to use.  I
see they also have a model called the IFP-190.  I wonder if it is as good
and or easy to use.  It is currently being heavily discounted at
www.futureshop.ca

I just reviews the messages refering to the IFP-799 and now wonder just how
frustrating it might be.  Perhaps I should look around for one of the
NextWay players instead.

Hi, bobcat,
After doing quite a bit of research, I just today purchased the iRiver 
iFP-795 which is identical to the iFP-790 except for the memory being 512 
MB.  I talked with an iRiver tech who said he had spoken to a number of 
blind users using the iFP-700 series.  He also said that the latest 
firmware, version 1.25 now includes adjustment of playback speed.  I also 
particularly wanted the ability to record direct from the FM tuner which 
the 700 series has.  I completely reviewed the user manual for the 700 
series and found it to be particularly unhelpful.  I expect to get a lot of 
initial help from my son when I first start using it.  I am trusting the 
operation and menus are predictably accessed and can be mostly used without 
sight.  Check with me in a couple weeks or more to see what I have learned 
first hand.

chatting full douplex mode and recording

2005-04-30 Thread Nick Gawronski
Hi, I am using window eyes 5 on a windows xp professional service pack 2 and 
am looking for an accessible very good quality with almost no noise in the 
background or in the encoded chat pear to pear or a system for chating in 
full douplex mode where a user does not need to hold or press anything when 
talking, like a normal phone call on the telephone, no button needs to be 
pressed in order to talk and everyone can hear everyone else if their mike 
is turned on.  I want a program that can record the entire session because I 
want to be able on my internet radio station to do recordings with people 
across the country but don't want to always use the phone.  I want the 
program to be able to save the recorded file as .wav file so I can add 
effects in sound forge8.0.  All of us will have dsl access so broadband 
access so the best quality voice is what I am looking for.  Does any one 
know of this type of program or any programmers willing to help me write one 
for me because I really do need it?  Sound forge 8.0 is very accessible and 
I upgraded because I needed asio support for my emu1820 sound card.  bye
