Boson Express

2016-02-10 Thread Dane Trethowan
There’s a free version of the Boson Audio Editor available so I’ll try this 
first before purchasing the full version, I didn’t notice this when looking 
yesterday in the MacApps Store.

Boson Is Beautiful!

2016-02-10 Thread Dane Trethowan
There’s nothing like being pleasantly surprised as it doesn’t often happen 
these days and I’m happy to report that my first few minutes with Bosn Audio 
Editor have pleasantly surprised me.

The App is as accessible as it possibly could be it seems with VoiceOver and 
all the functions I tried worked.

The menu interface is simple to use yet extremely comprehensive for a $30 audio 
recorder/Editor/Converter and most of the goodies you’d find in more expensive 
audio packages are there including a whole effects menu.

Cursor movement and selection is easy enough, you can move in units as small as 
a tenth of a second right up to 2 seconds, not as thorough as some of the more 
expensive editors perhaps but certainly good enough for most needs and in any 
case, you can always use the “Go To” option for more accurate fine tuning of 
your work.

Got to get back to work so unfortunately I can’t do any more exploration of 
Boson right now, I do intend to do some reading of the accompanying 
documentation to see what tips and tricks are offered and I have a whole heap 
of editing work to do so I’ll doo all those jobs with Boson and see how I get 
on though - if my above comments are anything to go by - I don’t see any major 
stumbling blocks.

Re: ls100 problem

2016-02-10 Thread Aidan
Well, if you leave the batteries out of the unit for longer than 15
minits, it should later on when you turn it on it will bring up the
dialog asking if you want to leave voice on or turn it off. Its a good
thing to learn that part of the menu so you can get back there easily.
Normally I can get to it quickly, but I did not see the exact
structure of the ls100 yet so it will be a bit misleading from me to
give you ruff guesses as to where it exactly are.

RE: Mobile DAC/Headphone Amps

2016-02-10 Thread John Gurd
Hi Dane

I'll have to stop looking at your posts to avoid temptation. I just bought one 
of these. I know I just got the MusicBoost bought the Oppo works with Android 
and PCs as well and I wanted one with a line level out too. Besides which, the 
specs and reviews are very good. The range of high res recordings it can 
playback is incredible, ludicrous in a way as 32bit recordings don't even exist 
yet commercially.

Hi!

It seems quite a few list members are after better audio quality from their 
music when using an iPhone etc.

The Music Boost has been discussed along with the Mojo unit but here�s another 
that looks quite nice, saw it at my local Hi-Fi dealer this morning so looked 
it up on their web site.

the Oppo will be my next purchase for sure, was going to get the Chord 
Mojo but its a bit pricy and the Oppo will do a fairly good job I'm sure.


The Music Boost is out of the question as I have an iPhone 6S and also a 
Galaxy S6.

Handsfree, Another Great Piece Of Software

2016-02-10 Thread Dane Trethowan
the title says everything that needs to be said about the Handsfree Mac 
App, pair your Mac using Bluetooth with your phone - Android or IOS it 
doesn't matter - and begin using your Mac's audio system as a handsfree 
system with the paired phone.


Handsfree App offers quite a bit more than Facetime on the Mac and those 
features include SMS send/receive - if you have an Android device -, 
call transfer and call recording.


Price of this app is $10.
