Re: FM Transmitters: Which One?
High Bob, this is John. People know me as Dj Dr.p or just plane oh Mr. Price. All depending on what circle of people you happen to be in. I am thinking about buying that same transmitter that you have. I mite get that one+an am transmitter. I have a stereo receiver that goes all the way back to the mid to late 1950s. The tuner part of it is sat up like this. Fm for the right speaker, am for the left and viceversa. I've always wanted to send a stereo signal to that old receiver that way just to see what it would sound like. People have said that am reception isn't all that. But from my experience, it depends on the radio itself. Where a lot of today's radios lack, this is where tube radios make up for what's lacking in today's radios. You and or a lot of people may or may not agree with me on this, but I'd like to try it any way. - Original Message - From: Bob Seed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 12:52 AM Subject: Re: FM Transmitters: Which One? The question that must be answered first is how much do you want to pay? Go to www.fmamplifiers.com and check out the home FM transmitter that they have on their site. . A couple of months ago, there was a great thread on this list about FM transmitters. A user recommended the transmitter found at http://www.wavemach.com. I purchased one of these and am thrilled. The range is huge, the construction solid, no nasty power hum, very good stereo separation, in short, no complaints whatsoever. I got him to add a level control that allows me to set the line in for the two RCA sockets, and he also added small buttons for setting the frequency. It has a standard antenna socket at the back and comes with a very solid little antenna, not just a wire. So if you're looking for an FM transmitter, this one is definitely worth a look, but it is on the high end of the price range. You definitely get what you pay for though.

Re: [blindreplay] Freecorder 2 Freecorder Toolbar Scripts Wanted
Good morning, Kelly. It's good to be reminded of this history. However, I don't read Petro's message as showing comfort with the failings of third-party suppliers. He says only that their involvement, especially when they are foreign companies whose country's laws may be different from ours, can make solving problems difficult, which it can. Some of the successes you describe were also hard won. It sounds to me as though Petro is continuing to pursue a solution. I don't know Petro and perhaps shouldn't speak for him, but that's how I read his message.

RE: start markers in Goldwave
Hi Loren. When you open a file and then press CTRL+a the start and Finish markers will move to the extreme ends of the file if they are not already there. You cannot move them any further out than this, you can only move them into the centre of the file. It may be that your Zoom is set at the minimum increment and thus it would be hard to notice any movement. to check if the markers move open a file. Make sure the markers are at the extremities of the file, set your zoom to maximum and then try again. If they both work then fine, if not? I'm stuck. Do you have scripts installed as this will help you to know if the markers are moving, even in 1000th of a second increments?

Hi Gang: Perhaps one of you technical wizzards can help me figure something out. I am wanting to create my own SAPI5 voice file for Rockbox under Cigwin. There is a discription of how to accomplish this task; however, I'm not understanding one of the steps. The information is as follows: list of 5 items 1. mkdir build 2. cd build 3. ../tools/configure 4. Follow the on-screen instructions, selecting: list of 5 items nesting level 1 1. your target platform (a number) 2. A for advanced 3. V for voice 4. Your TTS engine (F for festival, E for espeak, L for flite or S for SAPI5) 5. Select your language (a number) or press ENTER for English. list end nesting level 1 5. make voice list end You now have a language.voice file. The question is, how does one get to step 3: 3. ../tools/configure. Obviously, there is something else that I need to download and install besides Cigwin.

Sound Forge audio crackling and popping
HI all, I'm using Sound Forge 8 and I'm noticing a distinct little popping and crackling when I raise the volume on my audio files. That is, I have either a .wav or .ogg file and run it through Sound Forge's volume raising utility, and I choose the 200% boost because I don't know how to customize this boosting setting, and I save the file as .ogg. I then listen to the original file really loud and compare it to the file with the volume I just raised, and I find that the second file has this staticky sound at certain parts of the file that are not present in the original file. The static seems to be most pronounced when there are lots of loud things happening at the same time, or when a single sound is very loud as in the event of an audio explosion in a movie and so on. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated as I don't want to keep wasting so much time processing files with so much crackling. thanks, Matthew Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That is, I have either a .wav or .ogg file and run it through Sound Forge's volume raising utility, and I choose the 200% boost because I don't know how to customize this boosting setting, and I save the file as .ogg. I then listen to the original file really loud and compare it to the file with the volume I just raised, and I find that the second file has this staticky sound at certain parts of the file that are not present in the original file. The static seems to be most pronounced when there are lots of loud things happening at the same time, or when a single sound is very loud as in the event of an audio explosion in a movie and so on.

High Bob, this is John. People know me as Dj Dr.p or just plane oh Mr. Price. All depending on what circle of people you happen to be in. I am thinking about buying that same transmitter that you have. I mite get that one+an am transmitter. I have a stereo receiver that goes all the way back to the mid to late 1950s. The tuner part of it is sat up like this. Fm for the right speaker, am for the left and viceversa. I've always wanted to send a stereo signal to that old receiver that way just to see what it would sound like. People have said that am reception isn't all that. But from my experience, it depends on the radio itself. Where a lot of today's radios lack, this is where tube radios make up for what's lacking in today's radios.

The question that must be answered first is how much do you want to pay? Go to www.fmamplifiers.com and check out the home FM transmitter that they have on their site. . A couple of months ago, there was a great thread on this list about FM transmitters. A user recommended the transmitter found at http://www.wavemach.com. I purchased one of these and am thrilled. The range is huge, the construction solid, no nasty power hum, very good stereo separation, in short, no complaints whatsoever. I got him to add a level control that allows me to set the line in for the two RCA sockets, and he also added small buttons for setting the frequency. It has a standard antenna socket at the back and comes with a very solid little antenna, not just a wire. So if you're looking for an FM transmitter, this one is definitely worth a look, but it is on the high end of the price range. You definitely get what you pay for though.

Re: Sound Forge audio crackling and popping
In nearly all Sound Forge dialogues, you can preview by hitting alt p. This lets you hear what it will sound like before you commit yourself. Hit alt p again to stop the preview. While you are listening to the preview, alt B toggles by-pass on and off, so you can compare what it sounds like now with what it will sound like when you've finished. Ted.

I'm becoming more and more interested in a simple FM transmitter that will take output from a computer's sound card--such as something streaming across the Net--and transmit this at low power to an FM frequency of my choosing so the output may be heard throughout my building. I know these have come down in price, and there are lots of options. Is there a place I can go to gain a good basic understanding of pros and cons and of differences between brands? I want decent quality, and I want something that will transmit on any FM frequency used widely in North America, not just the low or high end of these bands. And it would help if this is simple enough for someone totally blind to use. The first I heard about these was on a C Crane advertisement, but I'm sure their brand is not the only choice. Price is a consideration, but I don't want junk that will need replacing immediately, either. So I would pay a little more for reliability. Thanks for any suggestions or reference links.

That is to much trouble. I think the letters PC are suppose to mean personal computer. If I can't do what I want to do on a Vista system right out of the box, then who needs it. My job requires me to do a lot of things with digital audio technology. If Vista is going to hinder me from doing this, then I will spend my money on a Mack O-X-X system.

In case some of you missed it. New PC Software Restores Audio Recording Capabilities to Windows Vista for Free images/adobepdf Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document. Applian Technolgoies has just released a free, audio recorder that works incredibly well with Windows Vista and XP. This recorder uses revolutionary new recording technology which is sound card independent. It can capture audio as MP3 files from virtually any application or internet stream. San Anselmo, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2007 -- Applian Technologies has just released the Freecorder Toolbar Sound Recorder , a free audio capture program for Windows Vista which restores the audio recording functionality previously available in prior versions of Windows. Using a new driverless recording process developed by Applian, the software allows customers to capture audio as MP3 files from virtually any application or internet stream. Freecorder Toolbar is free, and available today from www.freecorder.com. H News Image istorically, all PC's had sound card drivers with an easily accessible recording line, and also allowed recording applications to install custom sound card drivers. Today, the sound card drivers that ship with Windows Vista rarely make a recording line available, or if a sound card does have a recording line, that capability is buried. And the new driver signing requirement of Windows Vista has permanently disabled sound capture technologies that relied on custom drivers. Before Freecorder Toolbar, it has been difficult or impossible to capture audio in Windows Vista. Internet audio or application-generated sound can now be saved by everyone. And our convenient browser-based interface offers enhanced search capabilities and other cool tools, all for free. Everyone should have this great little recorder on their browser. Freecorder Toolbar works inside both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and offers simple one-button recording that saves everything you hear from your PC speakers as either an MP3 or WAV file. It will also record from the microphone or line-in inputs on your PC. Additionally, Freecorder Toolbar includes a powerful Google-based search, and optional browser enhancements like a radio tuner, weather bug, pop-up blocker, search highlighter and more. We are thrilled to be able to give consumers an easy-to-use universal audio recorder that works great with Windows Vista and XP said Applian CEO Bill Dettering, Internet audio or application-generated sound can now be saved by everyone. And our convenient browser-based interface offers enhanced search capabilities and other cool tools, all for free. Everyone should have this great little recorder on their browser. Freecorder Toolbar was developed in partnership with Conduit, the leading platform for building online communities via community toolbars. Our vision at Conduit is to provide website publishers with the most powerful components and content for their community toolbar, and ultimately to deliver a superior end-user experience, said Ronen Shilo, CEO of Conduit. Applian is a clear leader managing streaming media and we are delighted to provide their highly useful tools via our platform. Freecorder Toolbar contains no advertising, and is available for free from Freecorder.com. It requires a PC running Windows 2000 or later. About Applian Technologies Applian Technologies was started by Bill Dettering in 2000 with the launch of Replay Radio, a program Bill created to combat the boredom of his long commute down to Silicon Valley every day. Replay Radio allowed Bill to record his favorite radio shows and listen whenever he wanted. Helping people get more enjoyment out of streaming media is what Applian Products are all about. Now, seven years after the launch of Replay Radio, Applian is recognized as the global leader in recording software. Other popular Applian products include the Audio
