RE: Accessibility of Adobe Audition
I will try a demo of Reeper and see if it works. However, I was wondering if Sound Forge would allow me to add my own impulse response files o the acoustic mirror, as I am also considering that. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of tim cumings Sent: 04 December 2012 01:37 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Accessibility of Adobe Audition Samuel why don't you try reaper with re-access.

Thank you. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Steve Jacobson Sent: 02 December 2012 19:32 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Accessibility of Adobe Audition Samyuel, I am a Window-Eyes user and I used Adobe Audition in its early days and CoolEdit before then which Adobe purchased. The current version of Audition conveys information to screen readers using other methods that are not evident from the screen. Mostly, I think MSAA is used, although there could be some UI Automation. What this means is that if you just try to explore the screens with the mouse pointer, you are going to notice that some things that others see on the screen are just not there. GW Micro does have an Audition app that gets a lot of the information you need. When I tried that some time ago, it worked pretty well, but there were some gaps when dealing with certain plug-ins. I had switched to Sound Forge before these capabilities became available, though, so I didn't buy a full Audition version, and I have not tried it for a while. I would suggest that you ask on the GW-Info list, though, and I would also see if you can get a demo version and plan on really working the heck out of it for thirty days or so. I don't know if you can download a demo version or not. If you do try this, I for one would be very, very interested to hear what you find out. Also, if there are specific problems, Aaron Smith of GW Micro might be willing to see if something can be done with the app. While I am not unhappy with Sound Forge, I would consider moving back to Audition if it works reasonably. Good luck. Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Sun, 2 Dec 2012 15:21:31 -, Samuel Wilkins wrote: Hello everyone, I am considering migrating to Adobe Audition.

Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes
Sure it will. If you can record through a mic using a mic jack, you can get a cord with a resistor in it from radio shack and use that. You can, if I remember right, specify the quality of mp3 the machine generates. You would at worst have to figure a way to cut the tape files into segments. The real question is should you do this at all. If they're personal tapes, go for it. But commercial tapes usually don't hold up well. You have heard the tapes and know what condition they're in, of course. My wife's commercial tapes were so bad after years that there was no way I could tune the recorder to get the best sound because there was no best sound. Personal tapes usually have better quality. Good luck. Btw, make sure it's a stereo cable if the recordings are stereo. Good luck. - Original Message - From: Evan Reese ment...@dslextreme.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2012 7:38 PM Subject: Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes Thanks Vicky, unfortunately, she doesn't have a Plextalk.

iTunes 11 query
Hi all, Firstly, I hope this is the correct list to post this query, but if not, my sincere apologies. I am using iTunes 11, with Jaws 14 and windows 8 64 bit. In general, navigation is fine, and the software works as expected. However, I have a specific problem, when transferring audio books from my iTunes library to my phone. Firstly, with the sidebar hidden in iTunes 11, which is the default after installing, I can see my phone, and the selection of radio buttons to show music, movies, films, apps, tones, summary and info, but not books. If, however, I unhide the sidebar, the 'books' radio button becomes visible to Jaws and all is well. Now, when I activate the books radio button I get taken, as would be expected, to the options relating to how books should be transferred to my phone. I have the tick box to sync audio books ticked, and the radio button to sync selected audio books checked. All fine so far. Now, here's where the problem arises. Previously, immediately following the radio button to sync selected audio books, there was a tree view of all the audio books in my iTunes library. I simply ticked the books I wanted copied to my phone, and unticked books that I wanted removed, tabbed to sync, and all was done. Now however, when I press tab, I am told, audio 2.5GB, but no list of books to select what to copy and what not to. I can of course view my books in the main library view and copy them one at a time, but surely this is not the only way to transfer selected audio books anymore? Any help will be much appreciated.

winamp
Hi gang. I haven't used winamp for some time now so uninstalled my current one and reinstalled the later one. I don't use winamp much so never have been very used to it. Of course, my 90 year old brain doesn't absorb things like it used to 30 years or so ago. I do have it working somewhat to play some musicals and other things but it's strange. For everytime I want to play anything it always askeds me no, yes, change when these notifications appear and it always says show details. That sort of sounds like I'm not the selected adnministrator. How can I check and try to get it going properly and simply? Thanks so much for any help. Am using the latest windoweyes and I believe the latest winamp. That's not very clear, hope you get the gist of it. Thanks.

Re: .MP4 files in Winamp
Hi, Try installing the codecs packs e.g. the k-lite codecs pack from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm which will enable mp4 audio and video it for the whole system on all programs. It'll also enable videos and audios for some kind of .avi container formats such as special XIVD or DVIX or whatchammacallit I can't remember all the video extensions as I'm a blindie not really needing them:). Or you can go to WinAmp/preferences (ctrl+p)/input (i)/then hit tab twice to get to the treeview of installed plugin list, arrow down to Nullsoft directshow Decoder, tab once to Configure button/hit space bar key (it for some reason won't work when hitting enter)/and it jumps to the edit field of extensions separated with ; symbol that DirectShow system uses on default so at the end type ;MP4 and then enter and tab to Close button and enter. You ought to have it enabled as well after installing the codecs pack. And don't forget to uncheck Classic media player during the installation as you have other players of your choice I bet.

Re: Recording an audio cd using Total Recorder
Hi Larry, Did you get any help ripping your cd. Here is what I would suggest. After the cd is ripped it should be in a pcm file. There you can edit it with total recorder. As long as the file is in pcm you could use windows media, or winamp to create your cd. -Original Message- From: Larry Higgins Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 7:31 AM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Recording an audio cd using Total Recorder Listers, I am about to pull my hair out trying to figure out the best way to record an audio cd with TR without using the sound board, so as to keep my screen reading program from making an undesirable appearance. I would like to record playback through Winamp, or if there is a better method, please let me know. If you are wondering why I don't just rip, this particular cd has an error at the last cda file, which will not allow me to save the totality when ripping with CDEX. I guess I could just ignore the last file, but the problem is that I would miss a chunk, though it be small, of the book I am ripping.

RE: iTunes 11 query
You have gotten further than I have, I haven't had a lot of practice putting books and music on my iphone. How do I put music, books, ETC in my library to transfer to my phone? Please all, forgive my lack of knowledge. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Stuart Lawler Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2012 10:25 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: iTunes 11 query Hi all, Firstly, I hope this is the correct list to post this query, but if not, my sincere apologies. I am using iTunes 11, with Jaws 14 and windows 8 64 bit. In general, navigation is fine, and the software works as expected. However, I have a specific problem, when transferring audio books from my iTunes library to my phone. Firstly, with the sidebar hidden in iTunes 11, which is the default after installing, I can see my phone, and the selection of radio buttons to show music, movies, films, apps, tones, summary and info, but not books. If, however, I unhide the sidebar, the 'books' radio button becomes visible to Jaws and all is well. Now, when I activate the books radio button I get taken, as would be expected, to the options relating to how books should be transferred to my phone. I have the tick box to sync audio books ticked, and the radio button to sync selected audio books checked. All fine so far. Now, here's where the problem arises. Previously, immediately following the radio button to sync selected audio books, there was a tree view of all the audio books in my iTunes library. I simply ticked the books I wanted copied to my phone, and unticked books that I wanted removed, tabbed to sync, and all was done. Now however, when I press tab, I am told, audio 2.5GB, but no list of books to select what to copy and what not to. I can of course view my books in the main library view and copy them one at a time, but surely this is not the only way to transfer selected audio books anymore? Any help will be much appreciated.
