RE: using switch

2014-02-12 Thread Adrien Collins
Hi Evan and don

These aren't toolbars that switch installs when you install
the program but say you are converting a folder with many
files in it and some of them are avi, some are mp3 and you
are converting avi to mp3 and then lowering the bit rate of
the mp3 files, switch seems to pick and install different
converters as it goes along, it will use different
converters for different file types.

Adrien

I'm running total recorder on a windows xp machine with window-eyes 8.4. 
The problem i'm having is that when I try closing the program it doesn't 
completely close and sits on the task bar. if i try going to it on the 
task bar and using a shift plus function key 10 to close it it won't 
close. any suggestions?

Your problem is a bug and you have to go into your processes and close
it manually.  I would love a solution -- this happens to me all the
time, I just close the program either in the process tree, or with a
nice powershell command I found.  Then once closed you have to restore
your system sounds, if you have them turned off in total recorder.

As the review pretty much states, they're not designed for music.
40 feet is a pretty good range so that wouldn't worry me all that much.
This headset is only $70 here so its not as though its a really expensive piece 
of equipment.
Not particularly good for music by the sounds of things but for $70 I wouldn't 
expect it to be, perfectly acceptable for Skype chatting which is really all I 
want it for and - if the Audio 995 does the job as well as my Audio 478 - I 
couldn't be happier, I'll know all this time next week for sure!

Found mine far too boomy, and the ten metre range was rarely attained.  They

I could understand how that would happen given that the microphone is a 
moving part, still the headsets are cheap enough and 2 years worth out of it 
can't be complained about i don't think.

Hi!

I wrote about the Plantronics Audio 478 headset a few days ago, someone on
list commented on the Plantronics Audio 995 headset.

I've since looked that up and found it available quite cheaply so I'll
probably get one of those as well as the Audio 478 as I can use the Audio
995 in different situations given that its a wireless pari but I would
however very much appreciate any feedback from anyone on list who has a 
pair

of Audio 995, wireless headsets being what they are seem to vary a great
deal, I've heard some truly excellent wireless headphones - my Senheiser I
got over a year ago for $400 is a case in point - and I've heard some
absolute shockers.

Re: Fission Audio Editor

2014-02-12 Thread Dane Trethowan
Yes, that's the way I originally bought Fission, saved quite a bit of money 
doing things that way.

Audio Hijack Pro is an astonishing tool, take command of every aspect of your 
audio on the computer, hijack it, record it it, redirect it and so on, no audio 
conflicts to worry about either.

There are other applications that do similar things to what Audio Hijack Pro 
does, I think there's something called Snowtape.

Subject: Good Headsets To Use With Skype Etc

One of my favourite headsets for Skype and similar
applications is the Plantronics Audio 478 Headset, I've had
my original pair for 2 years and I just bought another.

This headset is completely portable coming in its own travel
bag, portable it may be but its durable enough to sit on
your desk and be used as a main headset for your desktop
computer.

The headset is a stereo type with quite good sound for the
money but certainly not audiophile sound as one would find
with something like the Grado SR60I headphones but quite
acceptable for Skype and everyday listening.

The Audio 478 headset is an on the ear type thus you can
hear what's going on around you.

The headset employs DSP technology for noise cancelation and
signal processing.

The microphone of the Audio 478 rotates downwards from the
left and can be adjusted once lowered.

For a headset of this price the microphone sounds very nice
and doesn't exhibit the quality of talking through your nose
type sound that some microphones do on these sorts of
headsets, I had terrible trouble with a logitech pair in
this regard.

An inline control panel provides volume, mute and
answer/hangup buttons, these buttons can be manipulated
through the Plantronics Audio 478 control panel which is a
downloadable add-in to Windows, you can customise what the
buttons do, a plugin is also available for Skype to allow
Skype to take advantage of the answer/hangup capabilities of
the Audio 478.

The headset is a USB type and the cable is fairly rugged,
again a great plus for this headset over the older Logitech
pair I owned whose cable started curling and perishing after
a very short period of time.

The Plantronics Audio 478 in my view is very reasonably
priced, I paid $65.00 for my new pair and $70.00 2 years ago
when I bought my original pair so the price hasn't changed
all that much.

The price I paid is in Australia dollars so people living in
the U.S. will probably pay quite a bit less.
