Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal

2007-05-28 Thread Bob Seed
A good start would be to clean all of the surfaces that come in contact with 
the tape including the pinch roller, capstan, and playback and recording 
heads.
Failing that it is:
Tape Baking
When magnetic recording tapes are being stored, moisture is slowly absorbed 
by the binder that holds the components of the tape together. Affected tapes 
will squeak when played back. The squeaking can be heard directly from the 
tape passing over the playback head and other fixed parts of the player, but 
is also transmitted electronically through the playback head. Often the tape 
will also sound dull and distorted.

If you hear a tape that is squeaking, stop playing the tape immediately. 
Continuing to play a squeaking tape can cause permanent damage to the tape, 
and in some cases damage to the player.

This problem can happen to any tape, but is more common in tapes 
manufactured after the mid 1970s in the USA.

The solution to the problem of squeaking tapes is to bake the tapes at very 
low temperature in an oven. There are as many different opinions about 
optimum temperature and duration of baking as there are audio engineers. 
Certainly, do not attempt to bake your own tapes unless you can be certain 
that the temperature in your oven will not exceed 60 degrees Celsius

CD ROM Services Pty Ltd offers a tape baking service, and although we have 
successfully baked well over a hundred tapes, and haven't damaged one, we 
will take all care in baking your tapes, but cannot take responsibility for 
accidental damage. If you give us your tapes to bake, it is on the basis 
that you agree with this

 Norma,

 Have you tried cleaning the tape path in the tape machine?
 That would be the tape guides, the tape heads, the capstan
 and the pinch roller.

 Is the squeal mechanical or does it come through the speakers
 or headphones along with the recorded material that is on the
 tape?

Hi listers,

I have an audio cassette which has developed a rather nasty
squeal during playback.  Not sure if it's the tape or the
machine.  Anyone have any hints on eliminating this problem?

 Hello everyone,
 I think I know what's cossing that problem.
 Air can get in to tite places.
 air always lieves dust and when it gets on magneted tape, it makes that
 squilling sound when you try to play it.
 Removing dust from one of these is a time consuming process.
 This may sound crazy, but it works.
 In the open end of the casset, run some water over the tape, but let it 
 set
 and dry for up to 5 days.
 Rewind and fastforword just to make sure the tape moves threw the machine
 without any problem.
 After that, then try and play the tape.
 If it runs smoothley and you don't hear the squilling sound any mor, then
 you have done this successfully.
 I hope that this tip has been of some help to you, good luck.

 Try another  cassette in the machine and see what happens.
 If it still makes a squeeking noise, chances are that it is probably the
 machine. .

It's not so much dust that is causing the squeel, but the binders that were 
used wen making the audio tape, especially those tapes that were 
manufactured in the middle to late 70's.

 Hello again everyone,
 There are head cleaning kits that you can get from a full line electronic
 store such as RadioShack.
 There ar two kinds of head cleaning kits.
 There is the dry kind, but I found that that kind doesn't work to well.
 There is also the wet kind which uses an alcohol baced solution.
 This does wonders for any tape recorder.
 But however, cleaning the heads won't get red of the squilling sound that
 you hear on some old dusty tapes.
 When dust gets on the tape, it cosses that problem.

 Hi Tom,

 Actually, I don't know why I didn't think of cleaning the head, etc,
 my brain must be in stand-by this weekend.  Would you please remind
 me what is a safe solution to clean with?  And the squeal does come
 through the speaker and headphones.  Other tapes play just fine.  I
 should probably state this is not a huge deal; it regards tape 1 of
 an NLS audio book I got late last week so I could read it over the
 long weekend.  So, if my efforts don't resolve the problem, I'll just
 send it back and re-order hopefully a better copy.

 Thanks to all who gave me suggestions,
 Norma

Subject: Fwd: The Creative Zen Stone MP3 player



From: Brian Hartgen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wanted to let people know about a very affordable easy to use portable
media player which Anna told me about and which I have just purchased.
It is called the Zen Stone player from Creative, and it costs 25 pounds
or 40 Us dollars.  The player was released on 3 May this year and so is
very new and is available just about everywhere you can think of
including retail outlets and Amazon.

The player is extremely small indeed and weighs less than one ounce and
has no screen.  It has a mode switch on the side (for cycling between
some features such as repeat, play all or shuffle), and a typical wheel:
up and down for volume, left and right to skip tracks or within a track,
and play/stop in the centre.  The mode switch, if pressed and held, will
allow you to skip to the next album or folder which is a nice feature.
The Zen Stone can accommodate up to 1 GB of storage.

The great thing about this player is that no special software is
required to transfer regular WMA or MP3 files to it.  You can simply
copy and paste using Windows Explorer.  However, there is software which
can be downloaded called Creative Media Light, which allows you to not
only rip tracks from audio CD, but in addition once the audio extraction
has taken place, the music is automatically transferred to the player.
So for a person who does not want to get into the business of copying
music to the player, this could be very good.  There's a bit of
scripting needing to be done with that, but I intend to issue some free
JAWS scripts for this if I can get that particular item to work.  Apart
from that and one or two small issues of labelling buttons which I have
done, the software is quite usable.  The good thing about the software
is that when the player is connected to the computer for charging, the
status line will report the percentage of the charging process.

Now to the final great feature.  This player will allow you to play DRM
Windows Media files and Audible content.  When playing Audible content
(up to format 3 only), and you stop playing the book and move to another
folder, your position within the book is retained! I think that the
storage capacity of the player, and the fact that the quality of format
3 is quite listenable, makes the use of this format quite acceptable.

If anyone would like to know more about the player please let me know.
But if you want something really simple on which to listen to music,
podcasts  and particularly Audible books, this is a very inexpensive
option.  If it does play DRM content, and I've no reason to doubt the
claims made by the manufacturers, then this kind of player could be the
start of people moving away from the iTunes music store (thank goodness)
and to other music providers who offer DRM content.

A very quck way of doing this is to go to yoru music folder,
Hit apps key on it, hit play in winamp.

Once it loads and starts playing the first track hit pause.

Now hit, Ctrl, alt G.

This will generate a list of the music to an html page that can be saved an

It gives some cool stats too liek average tracnk length, total running time

 Hi, Listers,

 I have tried Napster and the RealNetworks music store using my laptop with 
 Windows Vista Home Premium with nosuccess.

 Does anyone know of a reasonably accessible music store for purchasing 
 individual tracks?

Don't know, as I haven't used it that much, to have encountered that 
problem!  I am not using it for a lot of copying! It does transfers 
automatically, once a VHS cassette is put into the unit and a blank 
recordable DVD is put into the DVD recording portion.  I am not aware of any 
problems, like what you are asking, but, who knows?

Victoria,

I invested in a Panasonic Model number DMR-ES35V, DVD recorder,
that will
automatically record, from VHS.  You might need a little bit of
sighted
assistance, initially, but, it is pretty straight forward!  I
have it hooked
into my Media system, in my living room, not attached to my
computer system,
but, it is working very well,for just what you described!!

Look for instructions at www.panasonic.com, I think!

Just enter that model number, in a search field, after you find
the product
category, under consumer electronics and you can get a PDF of the
instruction manual!

Regards,

Mac Norins

High Randy,
There is a turntable that you can plug in to your computer.
There are a coppal that I know about.
One of them is a Newmark which connects to your computer via a USB 
connection.
I don't have the direct  address for the manufacturer,
but I got mine from:
http://www.americanmusical.com
Someone told me that SONY has them too as well.
You can look it up at:
http://www.sony.com
The first one that I manchened above comes with Ordassity software, it also 
has an 1.8 ench jack which lets you plug a casset player in to it to put 
your casset tapes on cd too as well.
Check it out and see if this unit will serve your needs.

A very quck way of doing this is to go to yoru music folder,
Hit apps key on it, hit play in winamp.

Once it loads and starts playing the first track hit pause.

Now hit, Ctrl, alt G.

This will generate a list of the music to an html page that can be saved an
emailed.

It gives some cool stats too liek average tracnk length, total running time
for all tracks.



Just one of many options for making music catalogues.

I have a cd that I have a problem ripping all of its tracks from.
Yesterday it skipped one track, and when I tried to start over, it would just 
rip the name of the artest and alvem but that's all.
I tried this again after looking for software that mite get in the way of this 
and removed it.
But it's still skipping tracks
And I'm using Windows MediaPlayer10 to do this.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Re: audio cassette squeel problem

2007-05-28 Thread Bob Seed
The professional Revox cassette recorder/player that you are looking for is 
probably the model 710 .
tech info.



Cassette Recorder Manufacturers
Please note that we only list hi-fi recorders here and in most cases only 
recorders. Personal stereos are not listed unless they have a recording 
facility of a reasonable quality.

Denon
The Denon range of consumer decks has just been augmented with the 
introduction of 2 new decks, namely the DRM-595 (text in German) which is an 
update of the much beloved 555 and only slightly more expensive, the DRW-695 
(text in German) dual deck is similarly an updated version of the 585, the 
older models however remain available at slightly lowered prices more info 
on the DRM-555 here, it's an affordable single deck has Dolby B, C and HX 
Pro, bias adjust, MPX filter, auto tape sensing and CD synchronisation , the 
DRW-585 is a dual deck with very similar technical specifications and 
features as the 555 but slightly worse audio specs, all of the above decks 
are auto-reverse n.b. and are much beloved by the British Hi-fi press. The 
585 and the 555 is also available as DRW-585P and DRM-555P respectively, the 
only difference between the P versions and the domestic models appear to be 
that you can get a rack mount kit for the P version.

Denon also has a range of cassette decks as optional choices for their range 
of style systems, such as the DRR-M30 for the M-30 and M-50 style systems 
and the DRR-M31 for the M31 system (the same unit as the DRR-M30 but with a 
different colour on the front plate), and the DRR-F101 for the F-101 style 
system (again same recorder, this time in a different box), all of these are 
horizontally loaded auto-reverse decks that have a fairly basic 
specification. The DDR-201SA that goes with the 201SA style system and the 
DDR-F100 that mates with the F-100 style system are again the same recorder 
with different facades but have both a better audio specification and added 
features in respect the the three mentioned above, such as Dolby B, C and HX 
Pro (the other decks have only B).

Harman Kardon
The company only has one deck in their catalogue, a dual one called DC-520 
but that is actually a fairly well specified and reasonably good sounding 
deck, has Dolby B, C and HX Pro amongst other features and looks remarkably 
similar to an Hatai.

JVC
Make 2 dual auto reverse decks that actually are rather good for the price, 
the more expensive one retails for around USD 200 and is called TDW-354BK 
and has very generous features for the price such as automatic calibration 
and tape selection and unusually for a consumer deck, a pitch control, very 
useful feature if you are playing back tapes recorded on a dodgy old deck, 
and of course it features the more usual Dolby B, Dolby C and Dolby HX Pro. 
The more budget TDW-254BK has all the same features as it's big brother with 
the exception of automatic calibration. The Japanese market also gets the 
TD-W313 MkII deck (page in Japanese), this is a slightly newer design than 
the other 2 as it was introduced in 2001 but I cannot find any English page 
on it.

Kenwood
The contraction of the audio market has hurt the Kenwood company harder than 
most others, in the UK the company has exited the audio and AV markets 
altogether and in America and Asia they have for the most part exited the 
hi-fi separates market, that leaves mainland Europe as the only place were 
you will find cassette recorders from the company, the KXF-W1030 is a basic 
dual deck that actually may be out on it's way as well. Additionally the 
company makes 2 decks as optional components for their mini/style systems, 
the systems, the S-SG7 is unusually well specified for such as deck it 
features Dolby B, C and HX Pro and auto reverse while the stunning X-VH7 is 
slightly more basic technically and offers only Dolby B and C.

Marantz
As with so many other manufacturers Marantz has not had a lot of home hi-fi 
recorders recently in their line up, currently it's only the SD4050 dual 
deck that the company offers, mind you that is however a rather well 
specified deck with Dolby B, C and HX Pro etc. .

Onkyo
Has quite a line-up of recorders, but they can be a bit difficult to find on 
their homepage, but it includes the TA-6211 model that sports Dolby B, C and 
HX Pro, manual bias calibration  an MPX filter amongst it's features. There 
is also the dual TA-RW244 deck, it has Dolby B and C etc., and to mate with 
their mini systems are the K-505TX that sports Dolby B and C in addition to 
the usual and the K-505X that adds auto reverse and Dolby HX Pro.

Pioneer
This is the only company that seems to be spending any money on consumer 
hi-fi cassette deck development these days and as such should be your first 
port of call when shopping for a new recorder. Note that there is no model 
from the company with Dolby S that is because the company's

Hi

If you go to my Portable Players Portal page,
www.hartgen.org/portable.html
You will find a page devoted to the Zen Stone player.  This contains a
description of it and the JAWS scripts for Creative Media Lite.  There
is just one installer to support any version of JAWS. I have ensured
they are compatible with versions as far back as JAWS V5.

A very quck way of doing this is to go to yoru music folder,
Hit apps key on it, hit play in winamp.

Once it loads and starts playing the first track hit pause.

Now hit, Ctrl, alt G.

This will generate a list of the music to an html page that can be saved an
emailed.

It gives some cool stats too liek average tracnk length, total running time
for all tracks.



Just one of many options for making music catalogues.

I want to make a list of music I like for my music teacher.  Can I use
 Winamp or Windows Media Player 11 to do this or do I need a cataloging
 program?

Wireless transmitter

2007-05-28 Thread G. McFarlane
Hi
Can anyone suggest a good quality robust wireless transmitter?
I bought 2 small fairly inexpensive wireless transmitters recently (now legal 
in UK) to
1. tTake sound from my computer's soundcard and broadcast this into the fm band 
of my new Sony DVD player 5.1 system.
2. To broadcast Sky from the box throughout my house for each VHF radio to pick 
up.
(Both transmitters are at different buildings)
I probably got what I paid for. Both transmitters do work but sometimes 
slightly distorted, suggesting not a strong enough range. There is also a 
fairly strong hum in the background, I hasten to add which is not in the 
original.

I'm looking for something which gives good quality, as good as normal sound on 
VHF. Any suggestions from your own experience?
Thanks.
Gordon McFarlane
