Garage Band query
Hi, I’m not a Mac user so not a Garage Band user. I am trying to help a woman who has a file recorded on Garage Band. she needs to get it into .mp3 format. shesays it is in Logic format. Any clue as what she can do please? she is not a blind person, so any instruction you give for me to pass on should be in a way that a sighted person can relate to. thanking you in advance, as I need to get this file soon.

Yep, you get Garage Band as standard with your Mac, I've never used it but you'll find tutorials on Garage Band at http://www.icanworkthisthing.com these tutorials have been written by blind users who use a Mac, you'll find just about everything you'll probably want to ever know about Voiceover and Iphone up there too! so that's a damn good resource. As wel as Garage Band you get Quicktime Player, no this application isn't an editor but it is a sound recorder so you have that to be going on with at least if you want to record something. As you know I use a variety of recorders and editors with my Mac, my favourite recorder would have to be Audio Hijack Pro, records from any app or any sound device. My favourite recorder/editor would have to be Amadeus Pro which handles multi track recording/editing too! funny we should be talking about multi track recording/editing on pc-audio right now. Anyway have fun and I'll answer your questions where and if I can, if I can't answer them then I'll put you in touch with people who can.

She must export to mp3. It must be in the menus of the program somewhere. Or there should be a shair option where it could also be possible.

Re: Garage Band query
Hi again! Just been going through my library. I have some tutorials on Garrage Band and they're in the Take Control series, there are two, one deals with recording and the other deals with performing. These are available for purchase and I think your friend will find them on the iTunes iBooks store, they're also published in other accessible formats. I remember starting the job of going through one of these but like eveyrthing else, there are only 24 hours in day instead of 35 and some things get forgotten smile.

A Feww iTunes Tips
Hi! these are a few things I’ve picked up from playing around with iTunes and they’re real time saves though elementary to the point that I’m repeating old news but still worth knowing all the same smile. Okay, you’ve got a whole folder filled with music, thousands of tracks perhaps and you want to add it to the “Songs” in iTunes? Well instead of using iTunes to open the folder or whatever just open iTunes, select the “Music” radio button, select “My Music”, go to the “Songs” list, go to the open folder with music on your computer, select all the tracks, go back to the “Music” list in iTunes and paste, your computer will copy all those tracks onto the “Songs” list. The are other nice things along similar lines you can do so have a fiddle and explore. ** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane

Looking for Speak Recommendations
Hey Guys, I’m using a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with Window Eyes 8.4. I have absolutely no experience with buying these, but I want to get some speakers for my laptop. I don’t have a huge amount of space. I’d like to put them on either side of my laptop if possible. I’m putting them on my Christmas list for my Sweetie, and I don’t want to abuse her generosity. Can I get anything decent, or even half decent, for $100, or maybe not too much above that? I only have one headphone/microphone jack, so I’d like to get USB speakers if I can to keep that jack free for times when I still want to use the headphones. Finally, as I said, I have no experience at all with USB speakers. Can I just plug them into an available port and Windows 7 install an appropriate driver, or do I have to install the driver from a CD? Will I have to worry about accessibility problems with that? Thanks for any recommendations. Evan

RE: Looking for Speak Recommendations
Here's my epic idea. anion® 2 Series III multimedia speaker system •A performance upgrade over most conventional computer speakers •Wide, lifelike sound at any volume made possible by Bose® technologies •Play an additional device—just connect to the auxiliary input $99.95 Their USB ones which are a fake surround system are $300. So no go with these. How ever if I may, the Companion 5 multimedia speaker system is epic! I have it and though it is a fake surround sound system, it is Bose, so I love it for what it is. I wish they would do a true companion 5.

RE: Looking for Speak Recommendations
Best buy has them. You can also order from Bose directly and I'm sure Amazon has them. Interestingly enough, Dell use to have them as an option when you vyilt your PC. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Sunshine Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 10:09 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Looking for Speak Recommendations where can you find these speakers?

Re: Looking for Speaker Recommendations
Thanks Hamit, I will definitely check these out as they sound like just what I'm looking for. Sorry about the sloppy subject line. I've corrected that.
