RE: Latency with Microphones and Soundblaster Audigy Soundcard

I don't know whether the Audigy has Asio Drivers.  Do the later Creative
sound cards have a what you hear or stereo mix option for recording?

Hi, I don't have your card, but if this card has asio drivers you might 
try to use them, with asio you'll get almost 0 latency.

 Hi Samuel,

 I don't have a pc with a creative card to reproduce what your machine
 is doing so sadly I can't help further.  sorry about that.

 AHello Samuel,

 I think you need to be monitoring the microphone input not the main
 output. This is where the delay is coming from.
 If you are already doing this, we need to look further.

Wel, that will depend on each card, you should check the card spex
before you get it. I suggest that since you just need it for general
use. That you must rather buy one of those wich you build in the back
of the pc wich is not atached to the motherboard. That will help alot.
Not only sound wise, but also for driver related stuff. Real tech is
good. Try them. But if you want to buy another nun motherboard card,
then you have wider options.

RE: Latency with Microphones and Soundblaster Audigy Soundcard

2013-01-19 Thread Samuel Wilkins
I just found that there is a new driver update for my soundcard, however it
looks like from what it says on the website that they've stopped making the
Audigy 2ZS cards.  If upgrading the driver doesn't work, I think I'll try
getting a new soundcard, as I've had the Audigy for about 7 years.  Although
I wonder if anyone knows whether the latest creative cards allow recording
in What you Hear or stereo mix.  Thank you.

Problem with New Sound Card Drivers and Goldwave

2013-01-19 Thread Samuel Wilkins
Hello everyone, I am having a problem with my new sound card drivers with
Goldwave.  I recently installed the latest drivers for my Soundblaster
Audigy 2ZS card, but when I try to record something in Goldwave through What
you Hear, the audio sounds different to what I am hearing through my
speakers, and I cannot choose the shared option in the devices section of
the control properties.  Can anyone help?

using witopia to access bbc broadcasts

2013-01-19 Thread André van Deventer
Hi folks

 

Just wondering if I have perhaps wasted some money.

 

I was under the impression  that I could use the witopia VPN service to
connect to a server in the UK in order to listen to sports broadcasts from
the UK on bbc five live and bbc five live xtra.  Currently for most sports
commentary they block you if you are not from the UK.

 

Can you use a service like witopia to do this?  The client software is very
accessible.  But if I select the London gateway, tapin radio does not
connect at all!

 

Andre

audacity

2013-01-19 Thread Joe Giovanelli
Hi,

I do not use Audacity, but Goldwave.  I have a friend who does not have much 
money so am looking into Audacity for him.

From a study of what seems to me to be a difficult manual, it looks as though 
editing manipulations must be carried out by drag and drop.  If that's so, how 
can a blind user work with this program?

Is there a decent tutorial which can take me through a project and showing me 
step by step how to make the software work?

I thank you for your help.

2013-01-19 Thread Rich De Steno
Not so.  Audacity is very screen-reader friendly with many keyboard 
shortcuts.  There is a manual for screen-reader users, mainly Jaws but 
it applies to other screen-readers also.  I'm sure someone on this list 
will direct you to the location of the manual.  It is more complicated 
than Goldwave, but it ismuch more powerful with a much better noise 
reduction function.

USB DAC

2013-01-19 Thread Walter
Hi folks.  Just acquired a new high spec computer, I say high spec but I 
think the sound card isn't up to much.  I'm considering moving over to using 
a USB DAC.  I've never used one of these things before and I was wondering; 
Have any of you on this list used one and what was your impression?  Also, 
what DAC would you recommend (I'm thinking here of high end and not budget) 
and are these things plug and play or is there any software to be installed? 
Opinions and suggestions please!  Walter.

Re: USB DAC

2013-01-19 Thread David McLean

try looking at the 
audioquest Dragonfly.  It's a usb digital audio converter in one unit.  Should 
be able to find it with google easily.  
They are available (usb DACs) at all price levels though.  The Audioquest is 
one of the cheaper ones at about $250.  Don't cheap outon them much more than 
that or you may as well stick with your sound card.
