Re: recording my voice
Hi Mark, A very good program for recording calls on Skype is Callburner available from www.callburner.com. The authors of CallBurner have made some efforts to make the program accessible. You can try CallBurner before you decide to buy it or stop using it. Regards Steve. From: "mark bishop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" I found in the entertainment section on my computer a facility to record my voice. If I wanted to record another voice such as over skype, what could I use? The record facility I found only recorded my voice clearly, you could only hear the other person faintly.

RE: converting text to daisy format
There is also a program called Eclipse Writer that will help you in marking up text, Word, even .pdf files and allow you to build DAISY books either as structured text or audio, both of which could be put on the Stream. I have done a little experimenting with this program, and while it is a tedious pain to mark up a long text, it is quite simple, and the program help will teach you everything you need to know. I just took a look at the online site, and Eclipse Writer appears to be a bit simpler to use.

Re: converting text to daisy format
I don't know how well a text file would convert to daisy format. you would have to convert it to an html document. you could make an MP3 of the text, but you would have to have several little MP3 files to correspond with the headings in the html file. then you have to write or make a smil file so the MP3 and html file are synced. there is another file that has to go in the folder, another html file but with a different extension which I can't remember what it is. if you had the proper html file, you could simply rename it with the save as in an html editor I believe by putting the proper extension in the filename. everything would have to be placed in the same folder. there may be a daisy generator available, but I don't know how it would work. - Original Message - From: "Dan Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 12:47 PM Subject: Re: converting text to daisy format > When I put a txt file on a sd caard in the victor reader stream, I can't jump > from one chapter/section without first moving to the end of a chapter and > puting > my own bookmark in.

Re: recording my voice
CBC - Radio Canada Selects Gefell M930 for On-Air Broadcasting Vancouver BC: Recently, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation in Montreal went through an extensive series of tests in search of a new standard on-air broadcast microphone for both the French and English language radio stations. The Gefell M930 compact cardioid mic was selected. According to CBC Montreal Radio Operations Manager, Gaston Robitaille: "We recently redesigned many of our studios to create a 'round table' format whereby often times, as many as 6 microphones are on at a given time. As such, we needed to find a mic that could transfer the natural characteristic of an individual's voice while providing sufficient pattern control to eliminate bleed from one commentator's voice going into adjacent mics, a problem we were experiencing with our old Neumann U87s. "Early on, we tested the Gefell M930s and were impressed by the compact size and natural tone. It had that 'Neumann sound' yet also seem to be very uncoloured. Before deciding, we ended up testing over 30 other microphones, going full circle and coming back to the Gefells. The pattern control, compact size and their ability to handle huge transients without distortion made them a natural. We now have over 25 mics in action and are planning to get at least as many more in a near future." The Gefell M930 is a 48V powered compact cardioid condenser with a full 1" diaphragm that features a DC to DC optical power bridge that provides 80 volts to the capsule while reducing self noise to a mere 7dBA. The compact size coupled with the triangulated pedestal eliminates body refractions and comb-filtering to produce a more stable and controlled polar pattern. The large full 1" capsule provides greater sensitivity over small capsules, an advantage when trying to capture more detail and personality from a voice.

Re: recording my voice
I think that your first priority should be to determine what you are going to use this microphone for, that is to say if you are going to use this microphone for in studio production voiceover work it might not be the exact microphone that you should be looking for. According to the specs it is an excellent microphone for music and live concert work. The bottom line here is that electrovoice makes a number of microphones for various applications, and is widely used by broadcasters world wide. They are a little pricey, but that is to be expected for a professional microphone. There are less expensive microphones for home use that can do a fairly good job as well. - Original Message - From: "Steve Matzura" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 3:58 AM Subject: Re: recording my voice > Hi, Ray: > > On Sun, 3 Feb 2008 03:20:43 -, you wrote: > >>Very good mic, and I believe Paul McCartney is a fan of it.

re soundforge
Hi ray, the way you did it is the right way, including highlighting by control shift end. my problem is, that the two tracks come out of the speaker, and when i tab they jump to the other one. it doesn't always happen, but i can't tell whether it is going to be alright till i come to save the tracks, as i can hear them separately as i record, one sounding alright, and the other one in the other speaker going backwards. thanks for trying to help. brian. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
