Re: best fm transmitter portable or other wise
The new Decade CM10 priced at about 200 dollars should be able to do the job for you. The Decade MS-100s is a good transmitter, however it is a little pricy at close to 600 dollars. There is a Canadian company that makes an FM transmitter that Jonathan Mosan purchased at half the price of the Decade MS-100s. It is a sterdy unit with a rubber ducky antenna. - Original Message - From: "Sunshine" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 10:57 AM Subject: Re: best fm transmitter portable or other wise can you give me an idea of the price and a direct link to the page to read up on it? thanks. - Original Message - From: "David McLean" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 4:46 AM Subject: Re: best fm transmitter portable or other wise If ou truly want the best go with the Decade MS-100s www.decade.ca.

The price is about 400 in american funds. Decade, a canadian company also makes a consumer FM transmitter that looks pretty good. It sells for about 200 dollars Canadian. They sell low power FM transmitters that are used in churches, ballparks, real-estate information etc. They recently got into the home consumer business, and make an excellent transmitter that can be used in the home.

Re: yeti usb microphone
Absolutely no! Simply plug it in and go for it. I use gold wave to record, and use the default settings. The good thing about this microphone is that you can plug in your headset into the bottom of the microphone and use the gain control to adjust your headset volume. There is a pattern control on the back of the microphone for voice recording, music etc. Definitely a good bang for the buck!!! - Original Message - From: "André van Deventer" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2012 2:36 AM Subject: yeti usb microphone Hi folks Have been very impressed with what I have read about the yeti USB microphone - especially regarding the price considering what you get.

Re: Removing The Vocals From A song Using Gold Wave
I can't understand how this can be done removing vocals from a particular music selection unless the vocal is on a different track than the instrumental track and recorded separately Even when making a stereo recording you are going to get some bleed through in the mix. I have heard some terrible recordings over the years where the instrumentation overpowers the vocal or vice versa. When listening to a good set of speakers I prefer acoustic music, as I am able to hear the imperfections in the recording if there are any, and the response of the speaker that I am listening too. If the speaker produces a sound that makes me feel that I am sitting in a theatre listening to a live performance I am sold. Any one can rattle the windows with booming base , but that's not natural. Nothing like going outside in the middle of a thunderstorm and listening to the storm in stereo with your own ears. Now that's natural as you are going to get. No speakers just your brain seperating the sound going into your ears. I have heard some thunder storms recorded with the Olympus digital recorders and the sound is mind boggling. It makes you think that you are in the middle of the storm when you are wearing a good set of headphones. Not yet convinced that wireless headphones can measure up to the standard that I am looking for in audio reproduction. . - Original Message - From: "Brent Harding" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 8:30 PM Subject: Re: Removing The Vocals From A song Using Gold Wave I don't think you can keep only the vocals at all unless you had the original project and had everything in separate tracks.

In my case we are using voice messages only, and there is no need for cross fading, just a fraction of a second for the transission of moving from one item to another.

Window Eyes and JAWS have script for making the program more functional. Total Recorder is another. It is somewhat screen reader accessible and somewhat considered keyboard friendly. I know of no scripts for Window Eyes or JAWS. The program from American Printing House is Studio Recorder and is screen reader Friendly and keyboard friendly. It will work with the both screen readers mention above. The price is something like $200.00. It is the most expensive of the most simply usable recording software that I'm aware of. Lastly, there is Audacity which is freeware and screen reader friendly. I found that you have to probably find a plug-in for mp3 creation and get it properly installed.

It is possible that the CD could be slightly warped or could have a small scratch on it that is preventing the machine from playing the disc. Some machines are more forgiving than others.

Its been a while since I've played with Goldwave as I prefer to use Amadeus Pro on the Mac but it doesn't hurt to have fingers in the Windows pie. Anyway to cut a long story short I was given a job where noise reduction in parts was required as part of the audio editing, I can handle this stuff quite easily with Amadeus Pro but as I'd never given the noise reduction function in Goldwave a go before I thought that the ideal opportunity was presenting itself. To be frank I was amazed at the quality of the result I got for a first try and I'm prepared to stand by the claim I'm about to make and that is the Noise reduction functions of Goldwave rival those which are part of more expensive products such as Sound Forge. Furthermore, the sections in the manual describing how the noise reduction system in Goldwave works are incredibly well written without boring anyone to sleep so all one has to do if they want to try the noise reduction function is to read for a minute or so and the have the basic knowledge required to get started. So what's Goldwave worth these days, $59.00 or thereabouts? Damn good value for money and I'd almost be tempted to say its a "Giveaway"! when one also considers its many built-in powerful functions and the fact that the author has gone out of his way to make this product accessible.

Re: H1 Handy Recorder: New Portable Stereo Recorder Announced
Not sure how blind friendly this unit will be! As there is no on screen menue there isn't a need for talking functions. If one is to go by the specks the unit appears to be laid out well with a large recording button in the front of the unit. The monitoring speaker is definitely a plus. Although the Olympus units are good recorders I don't think that they were intended to be used for broadcasting.

The H1 gets its stereo imaging from its onboard microphones configured in an X/Y pattern.

I think there was a series of them ending in 30, 40 and 50. I've seen the 30 and the 50. However, I think there are several newer ones since then and what I need to know is how do they differ in size, features and cost? There are other brands also, but there are just to many to keep up with. Perhaps I should tell you what I want to do with it maybe that would help you guide me in the right direction. I'm a storm nut and I want to record thunder without it being distorted. I want something small that I can just grab and go when I need it. I may use it for general notes and things, too, but capturing thunder and transferring it to the computer is my main objective. Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated.

Re: Veronica FM transmitter
You need a licence in both Canada and the United States if you intend to broadcast outside of the regulated limits! In the United States I believe that it is part 15 of the FCC guidelines that one should be looking at! Quite an extensive document that covers a lot of devices from computers, digital alarm clocks, microwave ovens, cordless phones etc. - Original Message - From: "André van Deventer" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 11:22 AM Subject: RE: Veronica FM transmitter But may you actually broadcast with such a strong transmitter in your country without a license?

Re: Veronica FM transmitter
John: Your doing it right, looks like a good source! You certainly don't want to occupy a frequency that might be used on occasion for emergency purposes! Keep the power very low and you should be fine. For most people the FM-100mws unit is more than adequate for whole house broadcasting, as it is built for this purpose in a compact unit witha rubber ducky antenna. I think that the pricing is the same for both the FM-100mws and the 3 watt unit, although the front panel is slightly different. The bottom line is that these units appear to be well constructed with metal and not plastic cases. In my opinion well worth the 300-bucks that one is going to have to shell out.

All you need to do is hook up your audio source to the RCA inputs on the back of the unit, and you are on the air! This NEW 100 milliwatt FM stereo transmitter will well out perform most of the low cost units on the market since it was carefully designed to pass even the very lowest audio frequencies down to 20 Hz and up to 15 KHz for the high frequencies. Believe me, this unit sounds just like the big stations! Excellent base and highs!!! Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you will have a very stable signal at all times. The frequencies can easily be selected by pushing the recessed buttons using a paper clip wire. The frequency range is 88 to 108 MHz and the channel resolution is 100KHz. I should also mention that the stereo separation is excellent! We tested this unit against 4 other stereo unit that did not even come close. The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure that shields the unit. No cheap plastic box used here! For more range a high gain antenna could be used and connected to the standard BNC connector on the back of the unit. If you are seriously looking for a high performance Stereo transmitter, this is definitely the one!

Re: Veronica FM transmitter
Do you like the unit, and would you recommend it to others on the list? How much did you pay for it? As Jonathan mentioned in a previous post a couple of years ago the unit was a little on the high side as far as pricing is concerned, but well worth the money, as these units are well built! - Original Message - From: "David McLean" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 9:12 PM Subject: Re: Veronica FM transmitter Yes.

Re: Veronica FM transmitter
You would have to get in touch with Jonathan Mosen in order to varify the modification to his transmitter! If memory serves me correctly I think that it had something to do with the tuning function! A turn type knob is being used to replace dip switches. The unit that he has is not a Veronica unit! I called Veronica in Canada, and the Canadian prices are in the 600 dollar range for a low-power FM transmitter.

I had it sat to DC. The kind of reading I got was: 1.5 volts in to 135 MA. I know that the reading I got is correct because, this thing was built to scientific specks.

Contrary to what someone said early in the thread, the USB port was definitely designed to provide power to attached devices. Otherwise, the specification wouldn't have included this in the first place. In Wikipedia's definition of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus, it says "The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single wire from which connected USB devices may draw power." Therefore, I don't see anything wrong with devices taking advantage of this and no one should worry about anything bad happening to their PC's or USB attached devices. In fact, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG have all settled on the micro USB port as their standard power port. China and the European Commission (EC) will also soon be requiring cell phones sold to use the USB port for power and charging. Of course, there are devices that pull more power than the USB port can provide. There are also non-standard devices, including a lot of USB decorations, such as lights, fans, cup warmers and so on that don't include the necessary electronics to support the USB specifications. These devices could potentially cause some erratic behavior on your PC. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of DJ DOCTOR P Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 7:59 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Laptop speakers question Hello Bob, Again, I am in agreement with you on that one.

Re: Power from USB [was "RE: Laptop speakers question"]
That's where the problem lies with new consumer products coming on stream who's power source ends up being the USB port! It appears that there are no standards in place that dictates what can and what can not be used with this port! As I stated earlier I personally don't think that it was the intention of the manufacturer to have the consumer using this port to warm up a cup of coffee, power a hand massager, and other devices that demand a lot of electricity. The end result could easily end up being a potential fire hazard if that device is left on overnight and not fused and shorts out! We are already putting a significant amount of strain on portable laptop and notebook computers, as we are pushing them well beyond their limits. The more heat that is generated in the inner workings of these devices shortens their lifespand! Only in a bind would I use my USB port to charge a cell phone, a digital recorder etc. I have seen melted circuit boards, and blackened power packs, and believe me it is not a pretty sight!

Then there are the countless number of song writhers who have never been paid fairly for their work, so as you can see record companies are no angels either.

Re: C-Crane Transmitter Question
You are going to have to tweak both the computer and the transmitter in order to get the optimum performance out of your transmitter without pushing the envelope. Just by making minor adjustments to the audio settings should keep you on track. If you hear the transmitter starting to distort, then that is an indication to back off the source a little. If you have to turn up the volume of your tuner that is OK. The analogy that I like to use is similar to taking water from a garden hose and trying to force it through a drinking straw. It won't work!!! A good source for low-power FM transmitters is http://www.fmamplifiers.com/ This company is in Canada, and the guy in question will build a transmitter to your specifications with switches and knobs that are easily identifiable for those without sight. These transmitters are a little pricey, but well worth the money. I recommended this site awhile back, and a number of blind peple ordered the low-power transmitter, and have nothing but praise for it. . . . PERFORMANCE FM-100MWS-LCD-E Digital PLL FM stereo transmitter ONLY $345 USD 12 Volt Power Supply Our New FM-100mW-LCD unit is ready to go and comes complete with a compact rubber duckie antenna and well regulated 12 volt power supply that works with 120 or 240 VAC sources. All you need to do is hook up your audio source to the RCA inputs on the back of the unit, and you are on the air! This NEW 100 milliwatt FM stereo transmitter will well out perform most of the low cost units on the market since it was carefully designed to pass even the very lowest audio frequencies down to 20 Hz and up to 15 KHz for the high frequencies. Believe me, this unit sounds just like the big stations! Excellent base and highs!!! Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you will have a very stable signal at all times. The frequencies can easily be selected by pushing the recessed buttons using a paper clip wire. The frequency range is 88 to 108 MHz and the channel resolution is 100KHz. I should also mention that the stereo separation is excellent! We tested this unit against 4 other stereo unit that did not even come close. The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure that shields the unit. No cheap plastic box used here! For more range a high gain antenna could be used and connected to the standard BNC connector on the back of the unit. If you are seriously looking for a high performance Stereo transmitter, this is definitely the one!

Most of the sound is taken in from the top end of the unit, not from the front or back sides of the machine. So, if you are recording a person, you really want to point the end of the unit towards their voice, not hold the unit vertically. I haven't done major tests with external mics, and I don't know what the real mic preamp noise is like on the machine. I hope it is a lot better than the audio quality on the DS-71 when external mics are used, as it was below par in my view. For the record, this machine isn't very downwards compatible with the mic extension cord and remote switch that comes with the DS-50 and the DS-71.

Re: Hi-fi soundcard
Putting vacuum tubes in a PC might sound a little like adding a hand crank to a Porsche, but at least one company thinks it might be the future of computer audio. Taiwanese components company AOpen, part of the Acer Group, is selling a PC audio card based on a vacuum tube--the same century-old technology that sends electric guitar players and hi-fi aficionados into paroxysms of listening delight. The idea, according to AOpen, is to replicate the "warm" sound of traditional tube-driven audio equipment inside PCs, which are increasingly being used as stereos by digital music lovers. The company quietly released a first version of the product in the United States in August, and an updated version, now available in Taiwan, will reach U.S. shores in January, just missing the holiday shopping season. Will AOpen's audio card revolutionize PC audio? Unlikely, analysts say. But the company's focus is one of a number of increasingly clear signs that the intermingling of PCs with other household entertainment devices is steadily marching along and that PCs are beginning to hold their own in terms of quality. "I wouldn't call (the tube-driven board) a novelty, but it certainly falls into the enthusiast segment," said Dean McCarron, principal analyst for Mercury Research, a firm covering the PC component market. "On the hi-fi side, there are some very strong tube proponents." Even if it remains an evolutionary--or devolutionary--dead-end, the tube-driven audio card does help highlight an ongoing renaissance in PC audio technology, driven by the prevalence of downloadable music and musicians' growing use of inexpensive, powerful computers for home recording. The standalone audio card market was considerably stronger in the mid-1990s, when companies like Creative Labs, with its Sound Blaster audio card, first helped PCs become multimedia machines. But in 1997, technology for integrating audio directly into a computer's motherboard became widespread, and the standalone audio market soon collapsed. The ability to do signal-processing functions inside software programs--once the exclusive purview of hardware--also helped undermine audio card sales. Most PCs today are sold with integrated audio capabilities that let listeners play music, if not with particularly high-quality sound, without any specialized hardware. Creative's Audigy and Sound Blaster lines of audio cards still sell fairly well among game players and music lovers looking for a richer sound, but the company continues to have only a fraction of the market it commanded half a decade ago, McCarron said. AOpen's card falls into a slightly different category, however. There's already a long list of existing high-tech add-on equipment designed for musicians creating PC music. But there are fewer high-end cards targeted more specifically at hi-fi connoisseurs. The company itself says the idea was initially a "lark," dreamed up by an audiophile engineer in the course of a brainstorming session. But a lab test of the idea convinced enough people that sound quality was noticeably different that the company decided to produce the product. According to product manager Richard Jen, the company has sold about 5000 of the tube boards in the United States since August. They aren't available in retail stores--the company distributes mostly through resellers, who in turn sell the product for between $180 and $220. Jen said the customer base has been split evenly between gamers and hi-fi enthusiasts. The idea has won both raves and jeers online. Audiophiles and sound engineers in message boards have differed, often bitterly, on whether the tube would make a difference to the sound. Tube amplification gives a "fuzzier" sound, many say, and while that might make it sound "warmer" to some ears, it would lack the precise reproduction of digital signals that a good-quality computer audio codec can provide, critics say. - Original Message - From: "djdoctorp" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Saturday, October 31, 2009 6:30 PM Subject: Re: Hi-fi soundcard High once again, I don't know how true this is, but I hear that Sound Blaster is coming out with a card that uses a pare of 12AX7 tubes for the line out, and a pare of 12AU7 tubes for the line and mike ins. Word has it that this card will be out some time next year. If that happens, then I won't need a preamp that has tubes to get that warm sound transferred from my old records and cassettes.
