Re: Please can anybody advise me?
Greetings, I have now used the Levelator program, having first tried with an .mp3 file and discovering from another group it needs .wav, the result is acceptable, at least the speech volume is much better without boosting the background noise too much. >From Colin Howard, who lives near Southampton in Southern England and though down here, Christmas may be "Green" in terms of a respite from the cold weather, won't be "Green" because his favourite news reader Charlotte Green, who reads the news on Radio 4 is likely to be missing into the New Year, because she has a problem which may result in her needing attention to her hip. Colin is really missing his Green voice and hopes we shall have her back soon. Meanwhile, Colin hopes all will have an enjoyable Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Re: Software Question
Hi Clifford, Thank you for the info. I had no idea how it worked, and it sounds like it might be more than I want to mess with. I'll look into it a little more, but I know a lot more now than I did before. How is that little dolly of yours. She is so precious. I hope she's doing well, and that you and all of your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks again.

RE: Software Question
Kris, Light Scribe is a combination of software and hardware as someone previously noted. You must have a Light Scribe capable drivein your computer or as an external drive. Assuming that you have that, your computer may already have the software for burning labels onto Light Scribe disks. You have to have special disks, however, they are readily available and are not much more expensive than regular writeable or rewriteable disks. If you have Light Scribe label burning software on your computer already, it might come as part of Nero or Sonic Record Now or other cd burning programs. You can buy specifically designed labelling programs, but I've found these mostly to be too graphical in nature to use easily as a blind person. You can get a variety of Light Scribe software packages including system software and labelling programs for free at lightscribe.org After you have burned music or data onto a Light Scribe disk, you flip the disk over in the drive and load the labelling program. Fill out the edit boxes and burn the label. I'm told that often the labels are a little faint, but you can burn over the label a second time to darken the label print. If you have other questions, please let me know.

Re: Please can anybody advise me?
Greetings, On the GoldWave4TheBlind list, Steve Nutt suggested I use Levelator, I have this but having played with auto gain, volume maximization and the like, could not having tried it on about a minute's worth of music into speech into music, could not resolve a decent sound. Have a listen to the files, they're not very big, then come back with some comments maybe. >From Colin Howard, who lives near Southampton in Southern England and though down here, Christmas may be "Green" in terms of a respite from the cold weather, won't be "Green" because his favourite news reader Charlotte Green, who reads the news on Radio 4 is likely to be missing into the New Year, because she has a problem which may result in her needing attention to her hip.

Re: Please can anybody advise me?
Hi Colin. I don't know how much you use GoldWave and how much you know about it, but I'm guessing quite a lot based on your in-depth attention to audio. I haven't listened to the files, but wonder whether something like GoldWave's "Maximize Volume" might make the volume levels a bit more constant. Alternatively, if you're looking to separate the speech from the music rather than having them together, it might just be worth changing the volume (I usually double it until it's loud enough) so that the speech is at the right volume for you. Sorry if you've already thought of or tried these things, but that's all that comes to mind at the moment. Cheers, Danny On 12/16/10, Colin r.
