Disabling SB Capabilities
Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the Firewire port on a Soundblaster Audigy card, and if so, how? I have another fw card I'd prefer to use, and want to keep overall PC resources high and usage low, so I thought if I could disable the fw port on the SB Audigy, that might help. I know the driver is small, and it probably doesn't take up any real measurable resources when it's not in use, but at this point, any little bit would help. I've already figured out how to remove the ASIO drivers from the registry, and somehow, magically, when that happens, the drivers loaded at start time go away nicely and I can replace them with other ASIO drivers for devices I really want to use, but the same trick with Firewire eludes me at the moment. Thanks in advance for any ideas. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: To all Total Recorder tutorials
Hi, Chris: Do you know of a way to "test", and I put that word in quotes, a job that has been set up in the scheduler to make sure the URL is right and the bit-rate and file settings are all good before the job is let loose to do what it's supposed to do? I've never found a force-run or force-start option in TR. Is there such a thing?

Re: Easy CD-DA Extractor Version 15 is now Available
Does anybody know if the author has addressed our accessibility concerns since Version 11.5? If not, why are we even bothering to talk about it, no less advertise it when new versions are published if we can't use them?

Re: Siemens bluetooth Cordless Phone System
How many handsets can the system support, and how many does it come with? Does any aspect of the system speak or have any kind of feedback a blind person could use to set it up--choose ringers, read the incoming or outgoing call logs, edit the dial directory, etc.? Can these things be set up and loaded from a computer, or the logs read from a computer? In other words, bottom line question, how accessible is this thing?

Information in goldwave.
Hello! Years ago when i had jaws and goldwave i could read when goldwave was recording or not. FOr example if i had set a time to begin the recording there was a bar telling me paused and then a countdown progressbar. I have turned the settings window on under properties and recording.

Re: To all Total Recorder tutorials
Hi. No, I don't think there is a way to test the scheduled job. Perhaps it's a suggestion we ought to bring to High Criteria's attention. What do you think? Chat soon.

Re: To all Total Recorder tutorials
Well, you can have it check the URL when you first make the job, its somewhat tricky to use, but it will tell you what it finds and you can see if its a real stream, or a player of some kind. chris hallsworth wrote: > Hi. > No, I don't think there is a way to test the scheduled job.

Re: To all Total Recorder tutorials
I think it definitely should be brought to their attention. Any job in the queue should have the ability to be run on demand and stopped either on a schedule or, again, on demand. That's one of the beauties of WinWGet. Except WinWGet isn't as fancy as TR in that there's no scheduling function, and, to be honest, since WinWGet doesn't use external programs to connect to and capture the stream, it actually make a better, purer, recording because it just captures the raw packets from the stream, doesn't re-encode anything another program is playing. I sure wish TR worked this way, and if it doesn, somebody needs to whack me over the head and tell me about it.

Re: To all Total Recorder tutorials
That's true, but can you record from that? If so, it's a good workaround, albeit clumsy and fraught with the possibility of messing something up if you change something without realizing you did it.

Re: Reaper Multi Track recording software
Reaper is very cool, and in its infancy, relatively speaking, so now's the time to get in there and get your voice heard as it develops, evolves, grows, improves. The way things are going with Sonar and their new interface, Reaper could and probably will be the "next big thing" in accessible MIDI and audio production software.
