Hi Tim and listers, Today, I am getting my MicroPort device. Tim mentioned that its configuration with Studio Recorder was a little bit tricky. Could you tell me more about it, please?

Re: Best bitrate quality for hearing aid users?
Hi I wear digital hearing aids and always will. So much better quality; it's as if I'm listening to a CD or MP3 all the time! Also I've noticed the latest digital hearing aids simulate surround sound! Anyone else noticed this?

By that I mean you encode the way you want and the way you like but one thing I do know when wearing good hearing instruments is that you want the best quality sound you can get. An audio engineer once recommended me use VBR quality and I did post instructions on how to set this up with LAME and what all the settings meant quite some time ago so I'm sure you'll find it if you look in the archives.

There are 2 quality bit rates, the VBR bit rate will need to be changed according to what you're encoding but a good setting for music is 3, the lower the number then the less the encoder rejects from the encoding. If yo u set the VBR quality to 1 then you may as well use a lossless compression such as FLAC. Use Joint stereo. Of course I'm referring to MP3 encoding with LAME here.

Re: Playing of cue files
Right, I've not seen any Window-Eyes scripts for VLC yet but that doesn't meant to say that they don't exist of course smile, last time I tried VLC for Windows it was totally inaccessible, well at least the latest version I tried was, the version before that one could get around.

RE: Best bitrate quality for hearing aid users?
The best quality still is I think if you can connect your hearing aids directly to the sound source. You cut out the microphones completely. Most if not all modern hearing aids have the ability to take an audio shoe or boot which fits into the back of the aid. At the end is a 3 pronged socket into whnich you plug in what is called a euro plug I think. Someone simply has to make up some cables for you with a euro plug on one end and whatever plug is needed on the other. And yes I must agree that especially the lower frequencies of the newer digital aids cannot really be compared to what was available on the analog ones. I can get my phonak naidas down to somewhere between 35 and 40 Hz that I can assure you for a hearing aid is rather impressive.

Re: Problem with noise reduction plugin
Perhaps I just haven't been exposed to a good example of noise reduction, particularly when it comes to LPs. However, every converted LP to which I have ever listened has that washed-out bland sound with many of the highs removed, all in the name of noise reduction of course.
