tapin radio

2011-08-06 Thread André van Deventer
Hi folks

 

Just downloaded tapin radio and want to get started with it.  When opening
the programme, I get an edit field and a few buttons such as play, search,
etc.

 

I’m not sure exactly how to get started with this thing.   I would need to
rather urgently do some recordings from radio stations.  The interface looks
pretty ordinary but when I type something into the enter field and either
enter or press space bar on the search field, absolutely nothing happens.

 

Using Jaws 12.0 with windows xp.

 

Is there some kind of tutorial or help file on how to use this programme?

 

Andre

I've just started using Tappin Radio myself, so I'm no expert!  But here's a 
few things that might get you going; first of all, what you type into that 
edit field must be a station that's on Tappin Radio.  Once you've found a 
station, you then can put it into favorites.  Then, if you want that 
station to come up again, you can go to your Favorites list (alt-A) and 
arrow to that station; then press enter or the space bar and the station 
will come up!  You might want to play with the menus as you may be able to 
figure out more things; I know that there's a genre thing, but I can't 
remember off the top of my head exactly how you get to it!  But good luck as 
I think this is a neat little program; I like the fact that you can record a 
station and still continue to do whatever you want with your computer; your 
sound card won't get on your recording!

This is exactly why I want to use it.

I heard from other folks that the station is actually on the list under
South Africa.  I typed in the name in the edit field and then endered and
pressed the space bar on the search button.  But nothing doing!

Ah well I'll play around with the thing a bit more later.

studio monitor purchase

2011-08-06 Thread Dave Bahr

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a pair of studio monitors, or monitors that can deliver 
me a flat frequency response, no enhancement of the frequencies so that 
I can hear the original mix as it was done, for restoration and 
mastering purchases. I have it narrowed down to two, maybe 3, I'll put 
all three options below, was wondering what sorts of systems people had 
and why, whether active or passive, what sort of config they had, room 
size and setup, things of that nature. I realize that the bottom line 
comes down to what the individual sees as the ideal setup. I haven't 
listened to any of them and will of course do so before making my final 
decision.


1. the neumann kh 120

2. adam audio, a7x

3. the maybe. the blue sky one 2.1 system.

I've been talking to the folks at

www.vintageking.com

and they sell all three setups, the blue sky they weren't too keen on 
and the adam audio one sounded, according, to this guy, not as natural 
as the neumann speakers.

Dave,

I don't know exactly what kind of restoring you are thinking of doing, but one 
thing I will throw into the mix is that your 
goal probably isn't going to be to get the most natural sound from any set of 
speakers, it is probably going to be to 
make the sound as close to the original as you can.  That means that what is 
most important is that your speakers can 
reproduce sound with enough detail so you can hear subtle changes you might be 
introducing when you apply noise 
reduction and such.  .  Of course, if you are making recordings, then the need 
is different as you will be modifying the 
sound to make it sound best and it is much more subjective.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

2011-08-06 Thread Dave Bahr
that's true, they are kind of one in the same in my mind for what I'm 
doing. that is, to make the sound as natural as I can is to hear the 
detail that wil aproximate what I think the original may sound like. 
That's one way to look at it. The other is to say that you want to hear 
the mix as the mixer intended it, but they kind of overlap too. Am I 
reading your message right at all?

anyone use slacker?

2011-08-06 Thread Terra Syslo
Hi. Does anyone use the slacker web player? I am having a frustrating
problem. I am trying to add favorite stations, but when I do it adds the
current one I am listening to which is fine, but then I go to another
station and try to add it to my favorites and it deletes the last favorite I
added and adds the current one. I also use slacker on my Android phone and
do not experience this problem, but there is no way to add user-created
stations through the mobile app, so I was trying to do it on the web player.
If anyone uses slacker and has any suggestions that would be much
appreciated. Thank you.
