sornar4 question regarding metranome staying on

2007-11-23 Thread Dan Thompson
Hi All,
When recording in Sornar4 now  my metranome must be checked off during 
record.  Before it never came on  unless I chose this option. Does anyone 
know where to change this option to be defaulted off?
I looked under preferences and metranome page. When I Uncheck tthe record 
box, the metranome just stays off during that session. Once I open up a new 
session, I must uncheck the box again.

any help would be very very appreciated.

Hello Ray,
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but are you suggesting that a blind person 
couldn't use this peace of equipment?
And how do you get it?

2007-11-23 Thread Dane Trethowan
Ok, well anything's possible, I'm not going to argue about it either  
but to my knowledge my CD drives are working, I think its just too  
easy for people to use the argument that people are using faulty  
equipment rather than evaluating facts, I've gladly stuck my neck out  
for Exact Audio Copy, Easy CD DA Extractor and other pieces of  
software and I back them because I've used them. Sure! nothing's  
perfect (including yours truly) and I value other list members who  
have put me on the right track and answered questions that I've had.
Yep, use whatever ripper you like, I don't rubbish every ripper and  
I've never done, I've said and I'll continue to say that all rippers  
are not equal, some rippers are better than others just as some  
shareware packages are better than those you buy.

Ok, well I don't think that Exact Audio Copy can be described as a  
gimic, the technology used in Exact Audio Copy has been used for a  
long time under LINUX in various CD Rippers, its also used in Max  
Audio Ripper under the Mac and LINUX.

John, sorry to disappoint, but no, its not a drive, its a piece of
stand alone kit made for mastering music  to hard disk, then burning
off to CD.  All visually driven through its own display.  This is the
sort of market Elisis is into.

I used this machine as an example of where I've come across adjustable
off-sets.

Hello Ray,
How do I get my hands on a few of those drives?
I have two desk top computers.
I use one for working playing and blogging and I use the other one to
deliver the gospel.
Either way, I'm always ripping and burning CD's for people.

Re: Ripping, Copying and EncodingRE: Easy CD DA Extractor: they've changed things

2007-11-23 Thread Kevin Lloyd
There should be no difference at all in sound quality between FLAC and WMA 
lossless and little or no difference in file size.  The choice is really 
then about support for the format.  That is, how many software and hardware 
players will play WMA compared to those that will support FLAC.  I don't 
know much more about FLAC but it strikes me as more of a archive and don't 
touch kind of format whereas WMA lossless, for me at least, provides both 
the archive and the convenience of being widely supported.

Is there a tremendous difference in flak lossless verses WMA lossless?   It
seems if they're both lossless and work as advertized, each would yield
similar results.

Well I don't know what you're getting at quite frankly, I've heard some

won't work with any CD ripper wither it be EAC, Windows Media Player or

Your situation would be that you have a bit of a dodgy CD-ROM drive if you
need to use EAC.  If you have a good quality drive you don't need to go to
those extremes.  You should always use error correction of course which will

slow down your media player rips but you will get perfect results with a
good quality CD-ROM and CD's in fair to good condition.

Media Player etc are probably fine for most people but in my situation where
"perfect rips" and "perfect copies" are a "must have" then Media Player and
others are just out of the race. As I said before, those people who are
sticking with Easy CD DA Extractor (that includes Yorus Truly) are on a
pretty good thind I reckon but still, Exact Audio Copy and Max Ripper are
the only things I've tested which do "perfect rips" and "perfect copies" of
audio CD'S.
Compression? Well Danna sort of had it right and I reckon her ears are
functioning , AAC+ is a damn good standard, its regretable that
(unfortunately) EAC doesn't (as far as I know) support AAC+ internally so
you have to run an external encoder, either that or do your rips with EAC
(as Wave files) and convert them with something like Easy CD DA extractor
which will let you do thousands of files in a batch as everyone knows, that
almost defeats the purpose but still the rips are more accurate. EAC is (if
set up correctly) considerably slower than Windows Media Player, taking say
7-10 minutes to rip a CD however this speed reduction is due to the
comparison ripping the programme does, reading and re-reading each sector
and comparing the values, I was also interested to read that Exact Audio
Copy will handle copy-protected audio CD'S, not that you see too many of
those round these days I don't think.
Now for those who will sware by MP3 till their "dying day" well I admire
your courage and (whilst I admit that MP3 is getting a bit long in the tooth
now) you can get some very nice quality out of LAME if you tweek it, that
means not using the defaults offered to you by your ripper. If you're using
Winamp to play your MP3 files then it pays to use the MAD MP3 output
plug-in, you'll hear the difference and MAD is not the only great MP3
decoder for Winamp either. VLC'S decoder seems to be rather nice.

Exact audio copy was developed by a good programmer who really likes his

Well, maybe you have a reading problem too.  I actually said worrying about 
waveforms not listening to them.  Last I'll say on this subject as it's 
getting a bit tedious and tiresome now.  I guess it's just difficult to take 
some opinions objectively when you see so many ridiculous anti-windows   and 
anti-microsoft comments.

I do go to a lot of trouble when ripping as I've got my collection of 900 
CD's ripped in lossless and have my music hooked up to a high end hifi 
system.  Bottomline is that I trust my hearing so can tell a perfect rip 
from one with imperfections.

No doubt you'll want to respond with some sarcastic nonsense again but read 
the e-mail a few times first so that you're able to comprehend it this time.

Dear Dear, perhaps I didn't explain things correctly, when I meant comparing
wave files I meant actually comparing them with your PC, Mac or whatever,
that's one of the many wonders with computers, you can compare the files
byte-for-byte in a matter of seconds.
Me listening to wave forms? Well now, that's given me the first laugh for a
Saturday morning, I have an 80% hearing loss so that would be of little use

Re: Are you aware of a small battery powered FM transmitter?

High Jarry,
I don't know if this would be of much help to you, but there is a very small 
fm radio transmiter that you can get from RadioShack for $29.95.
It runs on two trippel a batteries.
It was made exactly for MP3 players.

Yep thanks for that, again I'm at fault a bit here, when I spoke of
xomparing wave files I wasn't talking about listening, that would be near
impossible for me at least, I meant comparing them with a tool that does
thatsort of thing.
Exact Audio Copy and Max Rippers have such tools and I dare say other
rippers do as well.

Can I add just one small thing to this, and hope it's not already been
mentioned.

With regard to off-sets, I have an Elisis hard disk mastering box
which is designed to produce good error free, or as near as possible,
Red Book CDs.  One of the adjustments you can tweak is off-set.  The
reason for this is more to do with some CD players not handling
off-sets the same way.  This results in some players clipping the
beginning of a track.  Being able to adjust for this is useful.

I'd say also that the more perfect the resultant .wav, AIFF, whatever
file is you rip to, the better subsequent conversions are going to be.
Yes, you don't have to go to all this trouble, but obviously some
will.

The one that caught my attention on that page was the Audiax ii.  Anyone 
personally familiar with this unit; my Googling seems to suggest that the 
Audiax II is superior to the original Audiax in both range and battery

Well, you've maybe interpreted "a bit dodgy" for "falling to bits".  What 
I'm getting at is that a CD transport spins a disc at a very high speed and 
a CD-ROM isn't usually built for a computer in the same way as it is for a 
standard CD player.  Typically, the disc is not held as securely and so the 
movement of the disc, as slight as it may be, will cause jitter errors   due

to laser tracking problems.  Also, I think you're well acquainted with 
offset issues and you must also know that some CD-ROM's suffer with non 
standard offsets more than others.

I can't blame you wanting to get the best rips out of your CD's and it's 
your choice to use EAC but I wouldn't rubbish other rippers as the 
underlying software and interaction with the CD-ROM and operating system are

all pretty similar.  So, if your CD-ROM is not as good as it could be then 
EAC is for you otherwise it's more for the paranoid ripper.

Well I don't know what you're getting at quite frankly, I've heard some
things in my time but I've never heard that before 
Faulty CD drives won't work with any CD ripper wither it be EAC, Windows

Your situation would be that you have a bit of a dodgy CD-ROM drive if you
need to use EAC.  If you have a good quality drive you don't need to go to
those extremes.  You should always use error correction of course which will

slow down your media player rips but you will get perfect results with a
good quality CD-ROM and CD's in fair to good condition.

Media Player etc are probably fine for most people but in my situation where
"perfect rips" and "perfect copies" are a "must have" then Media Player and
others are just out of the race. As I said before, those people who are
sticking with Easy CD DA Extractor (that includes Yorus Truly) are on a
pretty good thind I reckon but still, Exact Audio Copy and Max Ripper are
the only things I've tested which do "perfect rips" and "perfect copies" of
audio CD'S.
Compression? Well Danna sort of had it right and I reckon her ears are
functioning , AAC+ is a damn good standard, its regretable that
(unfortunately) EAC doesn't (as far as I know) support AAC+ internally so
you have to run an external encoder, either that or do your rips with EAC
(as Wave files) and convert them with something like Easy CD DA extractor
which will let you do thousands of files in a batch as everyone knows, that
almost defeats the purpose but still the rips are more accurate. EAC is (if
set up correctly) considerably slower than Windows Media Player, taking say
7-10 minutes to rip a CD however this speed reduction is due to the
comparison ripping the programme does, reading and re-reading each sector
and comparing the values, I was also interested to read that Exact Audio
Copy will handle copy-protected audio CD'S, not that you see too many of
those round these days I don't think.
Now for those who will sware by MP3 till their "dying day" well I admire
your courage and (whilst I admit that MP3 is getting a bit long in the tooth
now) you can get some very nice quality out of LAME if you tweek it, that
means not using the defaults offered to you by your ripper. If you're using
Winamp to play your MP3 files then it pays to use the MAD MP3 output
plug-in, you'll hear the difference and MAD is not the only great MP3
decoder for Winamp either. VLC'S decoder seems to be rather nice.

Dear Dear, perhaps I didn't explain things correctly, when I meant comparing
wave files I meant actually comparing them with your PC, Mac or whatever,
that's one of the many wonders with computers, you can compare the files
byte-for-byte in a matter of seconds.
Me listening to wave forms? Well now, that's given me the first laugh for a

Well, you've maybe interpreted "a bit dodgy" for "falling to bits".  What 
I'm getting at is that a CD transport spins a disc at a very high speed and 
a CD-ROM isn't usually built for a computer in the same way as it is for a 
standard CD player.  Typically, the disc is not held as securely and so the 
movement of the disc, as slight as it may be, will cause jitter errors   due 
to laser tracking problems.  Also, I think you're well acquainted with 
offset issues and you must also know that some CD-ROM's suffer with non 
standard offsets more than others.

I can't blame you wanting to get the best rips out of your CD's and it's 
your choice to use EAC but I wouldn't rubbish other rippers as the 
underlying software and interaction with the CD-ROM and operating system are 
all pretty similar.  So, if your CD-ROM is not as good as it could be then 
EAC is for you otherwise it's more for the paranoid ripper.

Well I don't know what you're getting at quite frankly, I've heard some
things in my time but I've never heard that before 
Faulty CD drives won't work with any CD ripper wither it be EAC, Windows
Media Player or whatever.

Your situation would be that you have a bit of a dodgy CD-ROM drive if you
need to use EAC.  If you have a good quality drive you don't need to go to
those extremes.  You should always use error correction of course which will

slow down your media player rips but you will get perfect results with a
good quality CD-ROM and CD's in fair to good condition.

Media Player etc are probably fine for most people but in my situation where
"perfect rips" and "perfect copies" are a "must have" then Media Player and
others are just out of the race. As I said before, those people who are
sticking with Easy CD DA Extractor (that includes Yorus Truly) are on a
pretty good thind I reckon but still, Exact Audio Copy and Max Ripper are
the only things I've tested which do "perfect rips" and "perfect copies" of
audio CD'S.
Compression? Well Danna sort of had it right and I reckon her ears are
functioning , AAC+ is a damn good standard, its regretable that
(unfortunately) EAC doesn't (as far as I know) support AAC+ internally so
you have to run an external encoder, either that or do your rips with EAC
(as Wave files) and convert them with something like Easy CD DA extractor
which will let you do thousands of files in a batch as everyone knows, that
almost defeats the purpose but still the rips are more accurate. EAC is (if
set up correctly) considerably slower than Windows Media Player, taking say
7-10 minutes to rip a CD however this speed reduction is due to the
comparison ripping the programme does, reading and re-reading each sector
and comparing the values, I was also interested to read that Exact Audio
Copy will handle copy-protected audio CD'S, not that you see too many of
those round these days I don't think.
Now for those who will sware by MP3 till their "dying day" well I admire
your courage and (whilst I admit that MP3 is getting a bit long in the tooth
now) you can get some very nice quality out of LAME if you tweek it, that
means not using the defaults offered to you by your ripper. If you're using
Winamp to play your MP3 files then it pays to use the MAD MP3 output
plug-in, you'll hear the difference and MAD is not the only great MP3
decoder for Winamp either. VLC'S decoder seems to be rather nice.

Exact audio copy was developed by a good programmer who really likes his
tracks to be ripped neatly.  It's a good program but I like the media player
as well if I'm ripping to a format they support.  Example: I've ripped 500
disks in the last two weeks with it and it's been a breeze.  I just push in
the disk drawer and away it goes and ejects the disk when the ripping is
complete.  EAC. has this drive off-set stuff and while it makes files look

If I missed something, please bare with me but what are the advantages of
acc plus?  I'm relatively new at this and I've just converted hundreds of
disks to wma lossless in the believe that I'd lose very little in the way of
sound quality.  Plus someone on one of my lists suggested it.  However, I
wouldn't be adverse to keeping high quality sound using less space.  I
sampled mp3's at 192kbps but I didn't like the way they sounded on more

The L in FLAC stands for lossless.  Theoretically, what goes in, comes
out--that is, it's supposed to sound identical to the wave file that
sourced the FLAC archive file.  You are also supposed to be able to
decode a FLAC file and get the original wave file back.  I've never
tried this but would be keen to know if it's actually true, bit for
bit.

That's a consideration of course, that's why I've put all my Cue/FLAC files
on to DVD-RW'S, that way I can compress to whatever format I like and if I
ever want to change them I just put the DVD'S into the drive and repeat the
compression process for another format.

If I had the space, I would rip everything to FLAC. But, If I did so I
couldn't fit all my hundreds of CDs onto my two 300 gig external drives.
With AAC+, I can.

The use of ANY lossy format involves a trade-off between quality and space.
To my mind, AAC+ at 192kbps is the best trade-off I've found.

Your situation would be that you have a bit of a dodgy CD-ROM drive if you 
need to use EAC.  If you have a good quality drive you don't need to go to 
those extremes.  You should always use error correction of course which will 
slow down your media player rips but you will get perfect results with a 
good quality CD-ROM and CD's in fair to good condition.

Media Player etc are probably fine for most people but in my situation where
"perfect rips" and "perfect copies" are a "must have" then Media Player and
others are just out of the race. As I said before, those people who are
sticking with Easy CD DA Extractor (that includes Yorus Truly) are on a
pretty good thind I reckon but still, Exact Audio Copy and Max Ripper are
the only things I've tested which do "perfect rips" and "perfect copies" of
audio CD'S.
Compression? Well Danna sort of had it right and I reckon her ears are
functioning , AAC+ is a damn good standard, its regretable that
(unfortunately) EAC doesn't (as far as I know) support AAC+ internally so
you have to run an external encoder, either that or do your rips with EAC
(as Wave files) and convert them with something like Easy CD DA extractor
which will let you do thousands of files in a batch as everyone knows, that
almost defeats the purpose but still the rips are more accurate. EAC is (if
set up correctly) considerably slower than Windows Media Player, taking say
7-10 minutes to rip a CD however this speed reduction is due to the
comparison ripping the programme does, reading and re-reading each sector
and comparing the values, I was also interested to read that Exact Audio
Copy will handle copy-protected audio CD'S, not that you see too many of
those round these days I don't think.
Now for those who will sware by MP3 till their "dying day" well I admire
your courage and (whilst I admit that MP3 is getting a bit long in the tooth
now) you can get some very nice quality out of LAME if you tweek it, that
means not using the defaults offered to you by your ripper. If you're using
Winamp to play your MP3 files then it pays to use the MAD MP3 output
plug-in, you'll hear the difference and MAD is not the only great MP3
decoder for Winamp either. VLC'S decoder seems to be rather nice.

Exact audio copy was developed by a good programmer who really likes his
tracks to be ripped neatly.  It's a good program but I like the media player
as well if I'm ripping to a format they support.  Example: I've ripped 500
disks in the last two weeks with it and it's been a breeze.  I just push in
the disk drawer and away it goes and ejects the disk when the ripping is
complete.  EAC. has this drive off-set stuff and while it makes files look
better on paper, I can't hear a difference.

I'm not familiar with EAC. Details, please. What makes it superior? I've
been happily ripping with Easy CDDA since version 4 or 5, I think. Can't
imagine an easier interface, or better results.

Yeah, well the software is only going to be used for conversion here
as I find that EAC does a far better job at ripping, honestly that
software is the best ripper on the earth I reckon.

Are you aware of a small battery powered FM transmitter?

 Are you aware of a small battery powered FM transmitter?  I want
something to broadcast the output from a ZenStone to an FM radio up to
twenty feet away.  I have a Sound Feeder but that isn't working well enough
for me.
