RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer
Ah, I've heard of that sound card. But I think we'd better change the subject line before we get real deep into that. I guess no one else really wanted to debate the whole thing about the PTR2 then. Oh well. No but seriously, I guess it depends on weather one is willing to take the risk and deal with the limitations of it. The CDDA CDs you can find on Amazon too. Those will work no mater what. I've used a whole bunch of different ones back in the day. I don't that much any more. By the way, CDDA is the format of the regular CD, the ones you play on your stereo or in your car. That brings me to another point. That was another really cool thing about the PTR1 and 2. You could record live to CD. It was especially cool when you could do it in the regular music CD format which is CDDA or compact Disk Digital Audio. Now, there use to be a way to do this on a MAC, but I've never heard how to do it on a PC. So yeah, but I guess it doesn't really matter since no one really cares about CDs any more. Sure you can pass on the things you record on your LS-100 or the sound devices recorders to CD later by connecting a writer to them, but it's not the same as recording live to CD. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Aidan Maher Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 5:56 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Handheld recorder with recording timer Wel, its great but I don't have those condenser mics, I hope to get one in time, but at least now I have a focusrite soundcard wich help alot and their preamps is ausom.

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer
Ah interesting. Well, that would help a lot if you could, but the thing with the PTR1 and 2 goes beyond can I get a good deal, it goes to can I get a type 1 or 2 one. All you can get in stores here is Ultra 2. The PTR1 hates those. It beeps and locks up. Then it goes crasy when you take out. I was told by Typhony at IRTI that the PTR2 would do the same. I found the Hitachi Micro drive cards, so I guess one could use those. She said that the PTR2 seemed to be picky about microdrives too though. Basicly, the problem here is the limitations of the PTR2. Limitations that are silly and some what childish in my book. I mean, it's 2005 when this thing came out so it should be USB 2 capible, they should have gotten rid of the limitations on the memory size of cards you can put into it, and the limitation on the interface of said cards. What makes it even stranger is that this is the Japanese so they are usually ahead on stuff. I know that the PTR2 only came out cause of the led ban, but come on guys, why waste the chance. Make the thing better. Right? What do you think? I say they wasted an exelent chance. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Adrien Collins Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 11:15 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer Hi Here in Europe you can get sd cards for a very reasonable amount, not sure about cf flash cards as I never use them.

Mac Versus Windows
Hi Listers, A point of curiosity here. For the serious audio efficinado, which is better, the Mac with speech right out of the box, or a windows-based system with whichever screen reader you prefer? It seems that a lot of people in the recording industry think that Apple is really appealing. (Punn Intended.) Information security people I know say that you have less trouble with viruses with a Mac. And a rising number of blind users seem to feel that you get more power with your purchase. There is that nasty learning curve to deal with, but I'm wondering if it could be any worse than facing all the things that you could do easily or relatively easy with XP, but seem to be more difficult to do with Vista or Windows 7 or any of the other advanced Windows operating systems. Does it ultimately come down to knowing the capabilities of your own personal system? I'm wondering what my next computer should be? Is there a Mac version of Sound Forge? Is the Mac version of Pro-tools really accessible for a totally blind person? With the U.S. becoming more and more a nation of free lancers, it would be good to know what to rely on in the audio production arena. Any opinions and analysis out there? I want the next move I make in production equipment to be a sound one. Looking for feedback. Thanks.

Trying To Keep JuiceReceiver Alive
Maybe this is the same psychology that compels someone to wear the same pair of slippers for years and years ... but I still love the JuiceReceiver podcatcher program, and I have kept it with me through several computers and a few different operating systems. It even worked great, surprisingly enough, when I first installed Windows 7 Professional on my current Dell laptop. But after re-formatting and reinstalling Windows 7 following the attack of a boot sector virus, I've found I no longer can run Juice with any degree of success. Every time I attempt to start the program, I receive the following message: Errors occurred. See the logfile 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Juice\Juice.exe.log' for details. The text of this log file is as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File gui.py, line 4, in ?

Any ideas? Thanks to anyone out there for any suggestions that I've not yet thought of. Alternatively, if it is unlikely that Juice will work with Windows 7 as I currently have it installed, any better idea for how I can retain the same functionality without having to use iTunes for podcasts? -Kane To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

RE: Mac Versus Windows
Yes there is a MAC version of Sound Forge. It's brand new. One thing I do like is that with a Sound Devices USB Pre2 Audio Interface, you get it;'s full 192 thousand KHZ 24 Bit capability right out of the box. On the PC though, you have to install a driver. I don't know if that's too bad, but it's one less thing to do on a MAC. I hear Pro Tools is some what accessible on the MAC. Not completely, but some what. Back to sound forge for a minute. I told you there is SF Pro for the MAC, cabable of full 192 thousand KHZ 64 Bit just like the PC one. Pluss like the PC one it can record 32 channals. I should think that comes out to be 30.2 surround sound. I can't say as to weather MAC audio is better then PC audio not having used a MAC for recording, but it could be true what with how Apple makes everything and only wants the best. Before I forget, I should note that the Screenless Switchers podcast is recorded on a MAC I think anyways, and I didn't hear much difference. Note I don't think they used Pro Equipment like the before mentioned Sound Devices audio interface which goes for $600. Or Pro mikes. Not even something basic like a Sure SM58. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Gary Wood Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 9:14 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Mac Versus Windows I heard someone tell me that Apple's multimedia is better than that of Windows systems. - Original Message - From: Dave Trevino dctrev...@bellsouth.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 4:08 PM Subject: Mac Versus Windows Hi Listers, A point of curiosity here.

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer
Yeah, that sounds about right I would guess.

They don't update the hardware either. But I think if you no why you want it and if you no you can use it alot its stil werth the money, but you rite that most people will have to compare the amount of money with what they get for it. But I guess if you buy the sandisk cards, chances for locking up is maybe less, although I couldn't test that. On 09/03/2013, Hamit Campos hamitcam...@gmail.com wrote: Oh yeah, you can find them alright. But when you want to get one for the PTR2 it gets harder. I'll tell you abit why just so as not to leav you hanging, but I won't go too deep as it maybe off topic. But perhaps not. Here it is. Basicly the problem is this, heck you can buy them at staples but it's the ultra 2 ones. The PTR1 and 2 want either type 1 or 2. They don't like Ultra 2. They lock up when you put one in. That's the company's falt though. I don't get why the PTR2 didn't accept type Ultra 2 cards since it came out in 2005 I think. Or was it 6? Is it too little too Late? Is that something that they could still fix with firmware if they chose to? Or would they have to reforge the PTR2 to put a new card reader in it? The cards are essentially the same but for speed. Like I said, Amazon has them, or at least 2, but one I'm not sure of, and the Sandisk one is $40 for only 4 GB. IS it just me or does any one here agree that $40 is a little too much for only 4GB. I actually wander about this too, and this maybe another topic for a whole new thread. Is something like the PTR2 even worth buying anymore? Or is it just just for mastaljicreasons. You know what I mean? It's just cool, one may just love it just because and for almost just collection purposes you may want one. But it's $895. With all the limitations and let's be honest, dying or dead tech in it, is $895 to get it from IRTI even fair anymore? I don't know if anyone wants to debate this or least make their views known, but there you have mine. But yeah, to get off the sope box and back to the main point, you can find the cards, but it's not guarantied the ones you may find will work. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Aidan Maher Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2013 2:30 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Handheld recorder with recording timer Those compact flash cards are still available.
