re installing sound taxi
Hi list, i am having trouble with my sound taxi programme. i raised the subject with the technical staff of sound taxi, about losing words at the end of converted files. they then suggested that i upgraded to the latest version, which i thought was odd, as i only just bought sound taxi, and thought it was the latest version i had. anyway, i attempted to install the new version, and when i got the continue button, which should have taken me to the internet so that the programme would be activated, i found this button was disabled. under instructions from sound taxi, i downloaded the latest version, and went through the whole process again. the continue button was still disabled. i then report ed this to sound taxi, and decided to put in my origianal version. i was surprise to find that it also got stuck at the continue button. it was as if the programme couldn't go to the internet. you will all have had messages such as, this programme is trying to acceess the internet, and asking if you will allow it. i have had no message with regard to sound taxi. i am now stuck, as i have no version of taxi i can use. have any of you had this problem with regard to installing sound taxi. or do any of you know how i can check if sound taxi is blocked. i have reported all this to sound taxi, and am still waiting an answer from them. if i was a member of their technical staff, i would try installing sound taxi on one of their computers, using my personal code. well i will leave it there. if anyone has anything useful to offer, i would be glad to hear from them. as for me, i wish i hadn't got in to this trying to install an upgrade. for your interest, the version i am now trying to install is: 4.4.3 brian.

Equalizing an Existing mp3 File
I have just ripped some old, old open reel recordings to mp3 files. Some of the stuff would like less bass and/or more highs. I'm mainly using GoldWave for my editing. Question: Is there a way to change the Equalization of a file like you can change the volume using MP3Gain? I know I'll never get rid of the distortion but the stuff could sound better than it does. Thanks. Howard To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: motherboard with good onboard audio
Yes you have a point, that is why I don't really like the youtube stuff so much. But I like it that that model at least have a dedicated line in jack, instead of a shaired one.

I also record that on total recorder and others. Also good to mention that if you con't afford the zoom or ls100 or the sound devices, you might also try the ls14 as it also record up to 96-24 bit. I don't mind the overdub and multi track stuff to be equal to cd quality, as you mostly either burn it on cd afterwords, or just use the wave file to convert from there and/or use the project in the original format.

That's too bad. I thought he would. Oh well. By the way, I think the overdub stuff only works at CD quality. In other words, it only works at LPCM 44 thousand 100 KHZ 16 Bit. If I remember correctly anyways. I'd mostly be recording in Blu-ray quality on it though. Yes, PCM 96 KHZ 24 Bit is Blu-Ray HD audio quality.

So, if you can deal with that like Neal can, and like that person can, then yeah maybe. I want one for the quality. I don't think I'd use the multitrack thing that much though. On something like the Sound Devices 788-T I might though. That thing has 8 XLR plugs. So you can use 8 mikes. Import those into Pro Tools, and you can create 7.1 surround files. Yeah, I'm into 7.1 surround sound. I love surround sound. But yeah. The problem with all the Sound Devices stuff though is it doesn't talk. I can't deal with it like Neal can. I'd get lost. I'd have to have some one set it up for me and then just forget about it. But yeah, back to the LS-100. I like it well enough, and I do want one, but it's just for the sound quality, and full LPCM 96 KHZ 24 bit. The sound devices goes the next step up in sample rate though, they do 192 thousand KHZ. That's way cool. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Aidan Maher Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 5:59 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: motherboard with good onboard audio Yes, I got the focusrite scarlett 2i4 card, and that also dubbles as a midi interface, very good and really outstanding.

And the other thing is I am not sure if you would be able to open that project in audacity or sonar, I mean I don't no wich format the ls100 save its projects.

Even PCIE like the Sound Blaster ones would do perhaps. Now if like me you want to really go high end, then a pro sound card or in fancy turms an Audio Interface would be best. I so want the Sound Devices USB Pre2. Thing is, it's $600. But if you've heard the few recordings Neal Ewers has made on BCT on his Sound Devices 744-T recorder, then you know it's well worth it. I just don't have the $600 at hand. By the way, even something like an LS-100 or a Zoom H4-N would be good to. Pluss, theres are stand alone recordes

CD Problem
Hello A few years ago I purchased a set of 12 double disc albums called ClassicJazz from Time Life. I’ve played them often on a CD player in the room I keep my PC. That has now been removed and all music is played on my pC with the surround sound it’s hooked into. I decided to load all my music onto an external hard drive and get rid of the discs. I found these jazz discs will not load into the PC player. Going to My Computer the CD drive shows as empty. The same is true of my wife’s laptop and my son’s PC and laptop but any player except one connected to a computer will play them with no problems. I’ve contacted Time Life and find the UK site no longer exists. Therefore I dealt with the US Company. The ClassicJazz series is no longer sold. I received a response to my email asking me to phone them. I replied saying I’m located in the Uk and have heard no more from them. I seem to remember Sony brought out an anti copying method which sound like what I’m experiencing here. I seem to also remember it was said you could break this protection by rubbing a felt tip pen round the edge of the disc. I’ve tried this to no avail. I could bring back a CD player into this room and fit it into the sound system just to play this one set of discs but I’d much rather have them all on my hard drive. Has anyone any ideas to help me, please? Many thanks Roger To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: CD Problem
Hi, It does sound like some kind of protection system. I'm not sure what method of protection would give this but I'm guessing it may be something called multi-session disc. I wouldn't know how to brake this protection but you could use a regular cd player with a sound card to record the tracks as wave or mp3 to your pc by connecting the output of your cd player to the input of your sound card and use an audio recorder program like audasity or sound forge. hth, John - Original Message - From: roger.so...@virgin.net To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 8:28 PM Subject: CD Problem Hello A few years ago I purchased a set of 12 double disc albums called ClassicJazz from Time Life.
