Want a better midi player
I know little about devices which play midi files. However, one thing I know with certainty is how much I dislike the way that Windows plays midis. I am therefore putting a link in this message to a midi file. And I hope that someone on this list will download this file and play it on a good player, record it with GoldWave or Total recorder as an mp3, and send it back to me as an email attachment. In this way, I can hear how this file sounds when played with a quality midi player. Please tell me the type of player and its approximate cost in U.S. dollars. Here is the download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15707710/who%20is%20on%20the%20Lord%27s%20side.mid Thanks for any help.

Sennheiser PC 160 Microphone headset
Hi I recently purchased a pair of these Sennheisser PC160 microphone headsets when I heard a podcast on them from someone I think on this list. They sound great when I plug them into my Olympus DM5 and the mike works well. However when I plug the mike into my mixer I get absolutely nothing. I have converters from 3.5 to the quarto jack, this does not work either. As they’re going into the line in socket, I then tried an industry standard mike preamp, still nothing, just hiss. The signal isn’t getting through although adding my Dm5 into the mix by plugging the mike into it first andd then routing it through the mike preamp into the mixer and it does work. Ideally I wish to use both headset mikes to record interviews through my mixer to the computer. I should also say I’ve tried a number of converters from 3.5 to quarto jack, mono and stereo. Has anyone any suggestions as to how I can get a signal into my mixer. Perhaps you know of a particular converter/adaptor which will allow the mike’s great signal to hit the mixer. Thanks.

For example, you hear an ascending tone if the headphones and/or bluetooth is switched on, and a descending tone when the headphones and/or bluetooth is switched off.

It also flashes blue to let you know it is working. As for the controls, they are quite easy to feel and are spaced out. The controls are to switch the device on or off, switch the bluetooth on or off, and controls to manage playback of your music, such as previous and next track. There are also volume controls too.

So perhaps the softer sound is a bonus. I can hear it just fine, which is the main thing. As for the weight, they are pretty light. How you wear it, well they go over the ears. The headband is also adjustable. You can even fold them away too. They come in a nice carry case. As for charging the unit, you can charge it either via the supplied USB cable which is connected to both headphones and PC, or you can use the supplied charger and one of several plugs that it comes with. These are to be used for specific countries where the plug design matches that one found in the specific country. So, for the UK plug there are three prongs, whereas the others there are only two. For USB charging, this looks a bit tricky, but I admit this is a new concept for me, so will need help for the first few times. It is recommended the device is charged for at least three hours before using it for the first time.

Re: Totle Recorder verses GoldWave?
Just to add to Joes excelent comontary: GoldWave also supports keyboard mapping to pretty well all functions of the program. Cheers. - Original Message - From: "Joe Paton" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Monday, July 04, 2011 12:08 PM Subject: Re: Totle Recorder verses GoldWave? Carlos, Ok. Think about what you want to do. Obviously you want to record, using the PC. You'll want the most input resources available to you. Line-in, stereo mix, .wav and whatever else your sound card supports. Capturing the audio, in which ever form, can be done by most recording software, that is not the end of the matter. You might need or want, or have to edit some recordings. For most processes, goldwave has full keyboard support, and integrates with most major screen readers to a greater or lesser extent; I.E there may be scripts or setfiles to improve access, but these are not necessary when you understand the audio software you are running and have a good working knowledge of the screen reader in use. If itr's straight recording, with little edditing, then mp3 direct cut will facilitate the recording of audio with .mp3 files as the output file format. This is free, but cutting, copying, pasting, equalizing only the volume fading in/out is just about it with mp3 direct cut. but it's fairly straight forward, and will capture and save audio. Goldwave, Sound forge, record all and total recorder are but a few audio editing packages which give reasonable access . The goldwave dev. team are always responsive to the needs of screen reader/magnifier users, and will take on board, then modify or repair elements if they are broken, or just not accessible; That is worth paying fifty or sixty canadian dollars for in my opinion. Sony's sound forge, although you didn't mention this, is extremely powerful, and is the highest price tag. In earlier versions, care needed to be taken with the total recorder drivers, because they conflicted or isolated other required sound drivers. This was not difficult to fix, but caught a few of us on the hop when things that used to work no longer worked. This issue may have been resolved for further stable releases of the software, other list contributors can confirm or not this situation. If however you want to multi track record, then probably up for consideration must be the Reaper multi track recorder; This is where there are say a drum track, then a bass track, keyboard track, main vocal track and say 3 harmony vocals. So you can then play and edit each of these 7 audio source tracks till you have what you want, then mix them together, and save the project down to an audio file format. Reaper is not free, but I think the rae pluggin for better access is. This is also a considerable learning curve, so be prepared to listen to pod casts, and read the manual. Going back to goldwave, the manual is brilliant. In .html format, navigation and searching and locating results is a breeze when you understand your web browser and how to use the screen reader for navigating .html documents. Audacity is free I think, I don't have much experience of this though. sorry this is a little sketchey. Just some thoughts for you, and good luck.

You can but you need a pair that has a built in mike. I saw the Sennheiser MM400, but they are more expensive than the PX 210. I say more it's probably about £30 more here in the UK.

Re: Totle Recorder verses GoldWave?
Carlos, Ok. Think about what you want to do. Obviously you want to record, using the PC. You'll want the most input resources available to you. Line-in, stereo mix, .wav and whatever else your sound card supports. Capturing the audio, in which ever form, can be done by most recording software, that is not the end of the matter. You might need or want, or have to edit some recordings. For most processes, goldwave has full keyboard support, and integrates with most major screen readers to a greater or lesser extent; I.E there may be scripts or setfiles to improve access, but these are not necessary when you understand the audio software you are running and have a good working knowledge of the screen reader in use. If itr's straight recording, with little edditing, then mp3 direct cut will facilitate the recording of audio with .mp3 files as the output file format. This is free, but cutting, copying, pasting, equalizing only the volume fading in/out is just about it with mp3 direct cut. but it's fairly straight forward, and will capture and save audio. Goldwave, Sound forge, record all and total recorder are but a few audio editing packages which give reasonable access . The goldwave dev. team are always responsive to the needs of screen reader/magnifier users, and will take on board, then modify or repair elements if they are broken, or just not accessible; That is worth paying fifty or sixty canadian dollars for in my opinion. Sony's sound forge, although you didn't mention this, is extremely powerful, and is the highest price tag. In earlier versions, care needed to be taken with the total recorder drivers, because they conflicted or isolated other required sound drivers. This was not difficult to fix, but caught a few of us on the hop when things that used to work no longer worked. This issue may have been resolved for further stable releases of the software, other list contributors can confirm or not this situation. If however you want to multi track record, then probably up for consideration must be the Reaper multi track recorder; This is where there are say a drum track, then a bass track, keyboard track, main vocal track and say 3 harmony vocals. So you can then play and edit each of these 7 audio source tracks till you have what you want, then mix them together, and save the project down to an audio file format. Reaper is not free, but I think the rae pluggin for better access is. This is also a considerable learning curve, so be prepared to listen to pod casts, and read the manual. Going back to goldwave, the manual is brilliant. In .html format, navigation and searching and locating results is a breeze when you understand your web browser and how to use the screen reader for navigating .html documents. Audacity is free I think, I don't have much experience of this though. sorry this is a little sketchey. Just some thoughts for you, and good luck.

There was a slight mic monitor that you can't turn off, and the ear pads block out enough noise for me to feel clostrophoebic. And I was told I sounded on skype like I was talking in a tin can. I also got a more expensive gaming headset and it was like the chat one only magnified on the two things I listed above. just my 25 cents Dave c. bahr On 7/1/2011 8:18 AM, Rishi D Mack wrote: There's one from logitec -Original Message- From: Dave Bahr [mailto:dcba...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 9:43 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: wireless headset recommendations I don't know of one that wil do pc in one and phone in the other, but I have a plantronics 950 and love it. plantronics makes headsets and just headsets for all types of environments. The one drawback, for some, of this headset is that you can't use it while it charges. It is advertised as a gaming headset so those who game for 8 hours straight were annoyed that you can't use it while charging. For me, that's not an issue I need to worry about. However, even if you don't get this specific model, I recommend plantronics over any brand personally. hth Dave c. bahr On 6/30/2011 7:18 AM, Paul Porter wrote: I am looking for a good quality wireless headset to both listen to the pc in one ear and phone calls in the other.
