Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

[Larry Higgins]

Oh, I'm sure we do, since we live just outside of the Chicago Land area. 
I've just never had occasion or any real need to pay a visit to such 
establishments. But hey, that might be a rather interesting way for me 
and my dear wife to pass the time one afternoon. Maybe she will be 
tempted to pick up the guitar again. At least she can buy some new 
strings for the old excuse for the guitar she has now, and has had for 
years. Hopefully they could give me a good demonstration of the cards 
you recommended.


I have taken a look at the Steinberg Web site, and their descriptions of 
their products make  them seem at least worth taking a good look at. But 
I still may try giving my Audigy a go before deciding to make such an 
investment.


Thanks,

Larry

Subject: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please


Listers,

I guess that subject line kinda says most of it, but just some
clarification.

I am looking for some suggestions for a reasonably priced USB sound card
without any game audio gimmickry like what I am experiencing with my
Realtek card on my Dell, but a pure audio presentation.

At present, and most likely for the foreseeable future, I will continue
to be using an analog stereo system, so don't need to pay particular
attention to HDMI, or anything related to that.

Would like to have a card with all the appropriate line inputs and
outputs, and with the quality of an audigy, or maybe even better, if
that is indeed possible for a good price. And just as a bonus, I would
like to be able to access the software that comes with it using
Window-Eyes.

The only reason I am asking about a USB card is because I don't want to
have to install a regular card. However, if my best bet is to just
forget USB in favor of some real quality, I would be willing to do so.

Of course, I am primarily acquainted  with Creative Lab cards,
but any other reputable brand would be acceptable.

Thanks for any input,

Larry

Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

[Larry Higgins]

Joe,

The main problem I notice with this card, is that it tends to phase out 
centered voices on many stereo recordings. It also at times sounds as if 
it has an overactive audio gain setting. I just never know how it is 
going to react from song to song, or selection to selection. It just 
isn't a very sound environment IMHO, not like my old Audigy, which was 
both dependable,  and at times, down right amazing as a reproducer of 
pure audio.


I'll admit that my demands are small, since I only use my sound card for 
listening to audio streams, and mp3 files, but very little in the way of 
actual recording. But when I had occasion to do some of that, the 
results were usually quite adiquit for my needs.

Listers,

Something has been kind of bugging me since I began using this Dell XPS
7500 machine back in march of last year.

It seems to me that the on board Realtech sound card has a
characteristic of making voices sound as if they are cave like,
depending how they are positioned. I think that if they are completely
centered in a stereo version, they sound more reverberous, or as if they
are a bit more in the background than they should be, at least more so
than they sounded with my old Creative Audigy card.

If anybody has also noticed this with either this or any other card, and
have a ready solution to what I at least consider a problem, I would
really like to hear about it.

Guess I can live with it, I have for almost a year, but if it could be
corrected, at least without having to buy another card, in the hopes
that it wouldn't have the same issue, it would be nice.


BTW, my speakers are correctly phased.

Well Hamit, I gave it a try, and it didn't do enough to mollify me.

I have that old Audigy in the old computer, and have considered taking 
it out and installing it on  the Dell, but don't know where the cd with 
the drivers disappeared too, so that may not really be an option. Might 
have to break down and look for and purchase roughly the equivalent of 
that card, and hope there isn't hidden gimmickry on that one as well. 
But in the meantime ...

Subject: A most vexing and frustrating with TotalRecorder



Listers,

Please search your memories and tell me if you have encountered this 
problem. But before I get to the problem, which might be obvious by 
this question. Is it possible for an administrator to be able to tell 
if you are recording a stream as apposed to simply listening to the 
stream on a program like Winamp, or any other player for that matter?


The problem I am having is even after setting a scheduled session for 
recording a particular program, TR will record for a few minutes, 
maybe 20 or 30, and though the recording is continuing, at least it 
appears that way, the audio simply stops being input to the potential 
recorded product.


I have set the program up to reconnect to the stream in an unlimited 
fashion, but this simply does no good, I still rarely get a complete 
recording, at least not for the past few weeks.


This is a recent Phenomena. I have been making weekly recordings of 
this program for many years, and have never experienced anything 
quite like this.


If anybody could please give me any insight into just what might be 
taking place here, it would really be greatly appreciated. It really 
has me pulling what is left of my hair completely out!


Sure hope to hear from someone soon, this is maddening!

Larry

Re: A most vexing and frustrating with TotalRecorder

[Larry Higgins]

Well Humberto, I forgot all about Tapin. I tried it once and found it a 
bit more complicated to get setup than TR and just kind of gave up on 
it, but this might either be a possible alternative, or at least 
something to try.


Nevertheless, I am still holding out for a solution that renders TR the 
once reliable program it once was. So if there any further suggestions, 
I certainly will be grateful.


Thanks,

Larry

Hello Harry:

I don't think there is a way for the provider of the stream to tell whether or 
not it is being recorded, much less to do something about it.

Have no idea why Total Recorder would stop recording unless it is the 
disconnecting of the stream, the only thing I can suggest is for you to try 
using another program, such as Tapin Radio, and see what happens.

question. Is it possible for an administrator to be able to tell if you
are recording a stream as apposed to simply listening to the stream on a
program like Winamp, or any other player for that matter?

The problem I am having is even after setting a scheduled session for
recording a particular program, TR will record for a few minutes, maybe
20 or 30, and though the recording is continuing, at least it appears
that way, the audio simply stops being input to the potential recorded
product.

I have set the program up to reconnect to the stream in an unlimited
fashion, but this simply does no good, I still rarely get a complete
recording, at least not for the past few weeks.

This is a recent Phenomena. I have been making weekly recordings of this
program for many years, and have never experienced anything quite like this.

If anybody could please give me any insight into just what might be
taking place here, it would really be greatly appreciated. It really has
me pulling what is left of my hair completely out!

The new version of winamp

[Larry Higgins]

Hello listers,

Just wanted to know if any of you have used the latest version of Winamp 
from Radionomy? If so, how accessible is it with screen readers? I found 
out that the there is apparently only two versions, pro and light, and 
the pro is around $19.00.


I might consider springing for the Pro version if I knew that it was 
actually worth it, or maybe another way of putting it, if it wouldn't 
break all of my presets and  WE scripts/apps. I'd far rather use the old 
version for as long as I can, rather than destroying a perfectly working 
Winamp listening environment.

Total Recorder and hibernate

[Larry Higgins]

Listers,

Just wondering if anybody can tell me if TR 8.5 actually works with 
sleep mode with Windows 8.1? I don't see any option for it in the 
advanced scheduling options, so just wondering if hibernation will 
accomplish the same thing?


Thanks,

Larry

Another annoyance with TotalRecorder

[Larry Higgins]

Hi ,

I had the following happen before on a previous PC with XP, but it has 
reappeared on my new W8.1 Dell XPS.


When opening up a file to be edited, TR has to go through an image 
calculation routine before I can  begin my work. I guess I don't mind 
enough to give up on the program, not by any means, but I sure would 
like to just get on with it like before,


BTW, this happens with .mp3 files that I have downloaded from audio 
streams. Anyway to stop it?


BTW, I downloaded Goldwave and reupped my registration, and tried 
downloading a stream through it as well, but for some reason, GW was 
telling me that the file format wasn't supported, or something to that 
effect. Anyway, it wouldn't permit me to play the stream.


I realize that GW, or TR aren't meant primarily as a listening agent, 
but I thought for sure that GW might make this a bit more simple, 
therefore allowing me to use GW as an alternative. But any help with 
this one would be greatly appreciated.

Ken, to shut TR down completely, just go to the task manager and end 
it there. Problem is, that is just a bit of a PITA, and shouldn't be 
necessary, but it beats having to restart the computer every time.

Re: Total Recorder and Window-eyes 9 Beta 1

[Larry Higgins]

This may not apply in the least, I am still using 
XP, but I noticed absolutely no difference in the 
response in the menus after upgrading to the 
latest and greatest version. I also admit to 
being way behind on my version of WE (7.2), but 
remember the days not too long ago when the menus 
were totally responsive. Most likely there is 
nothing for it but to upgrade and come into the 
21st century, and maybe that will soon be in the 
offing, but right now, these menus drive me nuts, 
and I rather dread having to use them, which 
fortunately isn't such a usual occurrence since 
most of my recording of late is in background.

RE: Youtube to mp3 Converter for Longer Videos?

Maybe you should Give SONGR a try. Converting 
Youtube files to mp3 is a breeze, and it doesn't 
seem to matter how long the file might be. Just 
Google it, and a download site for it should 
appear. It also allows for downloading and 
converting from other sources, but I really 
haven't delved much with anything other than 
Youtube material. For me it was a godsend.

Re: Converting YouTube to MP3

[Larry Higgins]

Dane, I confess to not having read entirely through this tread, so 
others might have provided similar reasons to mine for gravitating to 
this program, however, my reasons  are as follows, and quite simple. 
I found myself listening through some audio oriented material from a 
radio station's broadcast following the Kennedy assassination in 
November of 1963. My issue that brought about the need for such a 
program as SONGR came about because I couldn't figure out a way to 
mark my place so I could return the next day and resume listening 
where I left off. Considering that these files could be up to six 
hours long, you can imagine how frustrating this could be. I can 
assure you that it didn't make the experience of listening to these 
historic and sad broadcasts any more pleasant than they already were.


I can also put these files on my VRStream and listen to them in my 
bed room at my leisure, fast forward and rewinding them at my pleasure.


So, all in all, this little application is to me a kind of Godsend.

Yes Howard, Humberto is so right about SONGR. I for one, have

I've still yet to fully explore, or find as much satisfaction from 
other sources, so I might have to consult with Humberto again myself
 concerning those issues, but this is one you wont be able to do 
without once you start using it for Youtube files.


Good Luck,

Is there a program that at all compares with Winamp in quality for the Mac?

[Larry Higgins]

Well Listers,

With the fast approaching end of support for Windows XP, it may be 
time to decide on either a new PC, or making the jump to a Mac  of 
some variety. I have been a very happy Winamp user for the past 
decade or so. The program got even better and more convenient when 
Window-Eyes introduced scripting, and made Winamp an almost brand new 
program. Of course, the main things I like about Winamp are WE's 
ability to let one press a key to move from station to station, or 
stream to stream without having to go to the book mark menu.


Another indispensable feature of Winamp is the graphic equalizer, 
along with all the useful presets. I'm sure all you Winamp users 
would agree with my sentiments on these features. I guess all I 
really want to know is if there is a similar program that might 
closely reflect Winamp and its conveniences on the Mac platform.


When it comes to a new computer, at least in the very near future, I 
may be dreaming due to our families present financial situation, not 
too different from so many these days. But the idea of switching to a 
Mac has been under discussion. I'm not too sure I want to make the 
switch myself, but the inclusion of voice over might make the switch 
at least seem the more practical one.


Anyway, if any Mac  users would care to comment on this issue, I will 
be happy to discuss this off list, since I'm sure I will have a few 
more questions that will not pertain to the overall  topic of this list.


Thanks much in advance,

Larry

Re: A free AAC recording software solution?

[Larry Higgins]

Anders, if I may. Does Hijack Pro allow recording 
directly from a live stream? Also, does the 
program allow one to record such an mp3 stream, 
as well as edit the results as an mp3 file, or 
does one have to convert to wav in order to edit, 
then save the final product back to mp3. TR 
allows me to record and edit in mp3 without 
having to reconvert. This really means a lot to 
my enjoyment of TR as my primary recording software.

Yeah Tom, they were probably trying to either 
taunt you or tempt you toward purchasing the 
software version by including the feature as a 
grayed out option. That's just good basic marketing I suppose.

RE: A free AAC recording software solution?

[Larry Higgins]

Thanks Tom for that info. TR is the same way, so 
needless to say, I am using the pro version. Sure 
wish TR would include AAC in their recorded 
stream options, but who knows, licensing cost may 
be at issue with that. Anyway, it is nice to have 
this option, though it might not be the absolute 
best solution. Like Alexandra, I would prefer a 
straight rendering into AAC rather than a 
conversion to another format, but again, one takes it as one finds it.


Again, Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

Yes, I agree, Screamer is great. I think I misunderstood your question a
little because I was wondering if there was a way to record the aac stream
without it being converted which would result in having the original quality
in which the stream was broadcast. I would prefer that to a conversin to mp3
or ogg. But to my knowledge Screamer doesn't do that.

If you want to schedule programs you could try Tapin Radio, which also has a
free version as far as I know. I haven't played around with it much, but the
streams are more up to date and if you add a stream to your favorites you
can schedule the recording. Ought to have a look at it myself again, but
like Screamer so much and haven't got much time to do a lot of experimenting
right now.

Take care,
Alexandra

RE: A free AAC recording software solution?

[Larry Higgins]

Alexandra,

Recording streams with this program is really easy. All you need do 
is open an audio stream, and look for the playback\rec option with 
your tab key, press enter, and start recording. If you are recording 
an AAC stream, it will convert to mp3 on the fly, so you don't have 
to worry about doing that. The program uses the LAME encoder to 
accomplish this task.


Keep in mind that I have just started to use this program, so I might 
have a bit to learn as I go.


Keep in mind that a lot of the streams listed in the program's 
listing of streams are no longer up to date, so if you are already 
using a program such as Winamp, you might want to take the streams 
you are interested in and pasting them into the edit box when opening 
streams. Anyway, it will work well.


It isn't as convenient as Total Recorder, but it does get this 
little, but vital operation done. I sure wish it contained a 
scheduler. But since I can't do that, at least I can copy an AAC 
stream without having to use Winamp, and then using TR with the what 
you hear option with my sound card to make such a recording. As long 
as I don't get stuck somewhere, and not get back to the house for 
hours, I'm OK with not having a scheduler for such recordings. I can 
just stop when I get home, and play the results in Winamp later.


OK, I'm starting to ramble, so I'll go.

Enjoy using this program if you should choose to do so,

Larry

Looks like it works!

[Larry Higgins]

Hello again Laurence, and looks like it works. Now if I could really 
push things and be able to schedule like TR. But hey, it's free.


I don't guess Screamer would actually record from Web based players, 
or will it? I do like how it converts these AAC streams to mp3, that 
is just so cool. I couldn't dare beg for more.


Thanks very much for your recommendation,

Larry

I use Screamer Radio for this; it works happily with AAC and will
record the stream direct or convert it to a different bit rate.

It also sits happily in the system tray rather than taking up
space on your desktop.

It has its own station directory, or you can add your own if it

A free AAC recording software solution?

[Larry Higgins]

Hey Listers,

I am some what shamefully looking for a freeware recording decoder 
for AAC Internet audio streams. Hopefully this will be a temporary 
solution until I can afford to buy a full blown application.


I presently use TR for my direct streaming of mp3 programming, but 
have no way of recording AAC streams.


I am also still using XP, and will be for a while I'm afraid.

Thank God for SONGR

[Larry Higgins]

Hey Listers,

I just wanted to take time to say thanks to a kind person on this 
list by the name of Humberto who told me about SONGR. If you want a 
good and reliable converter of files from Youtube, then this is 
definitely the ticket. I might have been a little disappointed with a 
small few of the downloads from Youtube over the past week, but not in SONGR.


I became genuinely interested in Youtube conversions around the 50th 
year of the Kennedy assassination because some of the programs 
available were quite long, and I could find no way to mark them up 
for later listening, making it necessary to relisten to ground I had 
already covered. I put out an appeal for some help with the problem, 
and Humberto suggested SONGR. It took me a month or so to finally get 
around to putting it to the test, but I'm really glad I did. For me 
at least, this program has lots of potential.


So, thank God for the list, Humberto, and SONGR.

OK, this may sound a bit over the top, but it isn't often I find an 
application as useful as this one.


Thanks for graciously putting up with my gushing ,

Larry

A question for Total Recorder users

[Larry Higgins]

Listers,

I have a recurring problem, not so much with TotalRecorder, but with 
my personal memory, and I am looking for a way to avoid this matter 
of forgetfulness. The problem is this.


When I open up a URL for direct recording, I some times forget to hit 
the record button, and as a result, I come back to save my work, only 
to find that there is no work to save. Is there a way to make total 
recorder to start recording by default as soon as the URL is opened? 
I know that is evidence of a bit of laziness on my part, but in my 
haste, I am always making this mistake. I would simply like to take a 
giant step toward preventing commitment of this particular error in the future.


Any help with this one would definitely be appreciated,

Larry 

It also just occurred to me

[Larry Higgins]

Listers,

I must also confess that I have never even figured out just how to go

about ripping a cd in Winamp?

a question regarding the use of what were previously only Winamp Pro features with version 5.666

[Larry Higgins]

Hi Listers,

If I recall correctly, I believe that I read recently on this list 
that all of the Winamp Pro features, including the cd ripper were now 
freely available in the final version of Winamp, as I take this one 
to be. Is this in deed correct, and if so, how do I go about making 
full use of this feature in particular.


Is it possible that by opting for the previous installation in order 
to avoid complications that I might have precluded myself from using 
this feature. If so, do I need to reinstall?

[Larry Higgins]

Well, glad to hear you're still hangin' in their with the technology. 
I['m 61, and have been fortunate to have been using a PC for the last 
22 years. I'm a Total Recorder man myself, so shouldn't have any 
trouble on that front. I just thought that the ads might be contained 
in other files connected with the program independent of the main 
file, so thought that might cause other problems, but if not, then 
that works for me . Actually the program looks kind of 
interesting and exciting to mess around with. Lots of interesting and 
hopefully useful features.


I'll let ya know how it goes as soon as I get the chance to give it a go.

Re: Still Looking For Help With Winamp

[Larry Higgins]

Always use direct sound output, you can't go wrong, unless your 
recording program needs to use it at the same time Winamp is using 
it. In that case, one of the programs is gonna win. That's when you 
need to use wave output when running Winamp, at least temporarily. 
The volume control is in deed much more responsive when using direct 
sound output.

Hi Tom,
uninstall Winamp, and make sure you delete the Winamp directory in 
the program files on your C drive.
After that install Winamp version 5.6, which can be gotten on the 
Winamp site.

Hello Joe and list:  I also have been consulting another

"Direct Sound to "wave output (and vise versa) no soap!  If I 
switch to "Wave output (which actually did resolve the problem) 
but then if I turn Winamp down, I turn everything down, which I 
don't want!  So I had to switch back over to "direct sound!"  As 
for unloading Jaws as you suggested, again no soap! When Jaws is 
unloaded, there seems to be no way to use the arrow keys or 
anything else!  Since Winamp is my default player, I've not tried 
Windows Media; I'm not even sure that you can fast-forward through 
a file with Windows Media anymore (I do know that you cannot go 
back) I also know that you cannot go directly to a certain spot in 
a file with Windows Media like you can with Winamp; these are 
reasons why I prefer Winamp over what few audio MP3 players I have 
used!  I do appreciate all of your efforts to try and 
help!  Hopefully (one way or another) I'll get this resolved and 
will report back to you if and when I do!

those who don't know, in Winamp, to advance through the file, 
you can hit either the left or right arrow key (I know it

You could try an alternative output pluggin.
go to prefferences control-p, press letter P till you hear

there is a waveout, and a direct sound.


Select the plugin that is diffedrent to the current one, tab

see houw your audio sounds after this change.

Then maybe try playing the same file in, for example, windows media.

don't know how you fast forward in WMP though.

Master volume annoyance

[Larry Higgins]

Hope someone can help me with this little pesky annoyance. For some 
reason that I just can't figure out, one day my master volume, 
instead of starting at full, 500 to be exact, now starts up at 448, 
making it necessary to open up the volume control to turn it all the 
way up. This has been going on for the past few months, but I just 
got pissed off enough to finally inquire about it. I can't seem to 
find anything within control panel that would allow me to save new 
settings. I don't think I have anything loading at startup that would 
effect the setting, but I dunno.


I am still using XP Home Edition. Times are hard . Anyway, if 
someone could help me to solve this one, I would be grateful,

Recording an audio cd using Total Recorder

[Larry Higgins]

Listers,

I am about to pull my hair out trying to figure out the best way to 
record an audio cd with TR without using the sound board, so as to 
keep my screen reading program from making an undesirable appearance. 
I would like to record playback through Winamp, or if there is a 
better method, please let me know.


If you are wondering why I don't just rip, this particular cd has an 
error at the last cda file, which will not allow me to save the 
totality when ripping with CDEX. I guess I could just ignore the last 
file, but the problem is that I would miss a chunk, though it be 
small, of the book I am ripping.


If anybody can help, it would be gratefully appreciated,

Larry

Re: total recorder

[Larry Higgins]

My wife had her sound output changed by 
connecting speakers to the wrong connection on a 
couple of occasions on her laptop, and as I 
recall, she did a system restore to a few days 
back, and her sound settings returned back to her 
desired state using her internal sound card. You 
might try that, providing that this problem 
hasn't gone on unsolved for a while. If you 
correct the problem in that way,  the fix  for TR 
should be easy. If I am wrong in my assessment, 
someone please let both me and Kristeen know 
ASAP. I, myself, have never personally 
encountered this particular problem with my desktop machine.

Re: To all Total Recorder tutorials

I think within the setup for background recording, there is a way to 
test/play a stream to see if it works. I don't know how one could 
possibly make sure a scheduled item would actually run unless you set 
it up to record within the next few minutes, then afterward, editing 
the entry to run at a later date or hour.

Re: Re[2]: Progress Report On My Total Recorder Problem

[Larry Higgins]

OK, I'm gonna make one more stab at this, and you ain't gonna like it 
I'm afraid. Maybe cutting and pasting, and deleting within a file 
crosses over into editing territory, and such options may be 
available only in the Pro edition and above. I'll bet you aren't able 
to append one file to another either. That unfortunately  may end up 
being the source of your problem. I certainly hope not, but I don't 
think you'll regret making the upgrade.

Just making sure. When you save as, when you tab backwards to see 
where the file is being saved, it is being saved on the desktop? 
Just for the hell of it, do a search on your hard drive for your 
file with Windows find, just in case there is a duplicate. If there 
is, that may be the one you have been working on.


I really wish you luck with this one. As I suggested, you might 
send an enquiry to the guys at High Criteria and maybe that can

Also try creating a new file from some other recording source, 
just to see where it might go when saving. You might save using 
the file menu in order to see just where files are being saved 
too. Have you tried saving your work through the menus, rather 
than just pressing ctrl-s. Try doing that, and tab backward from 
the file name just to get an idea where TR is likely to save a file.

Are you absolutely sure that the work is being saved to the 
file on the desktop?


Maybe you should copy the file to another folder, then bring 
the new copy up from within that new folder with TR, and do it 
all over again. Just forget the copy in the desktop. I know, it 
really shouldn't make a difference, but I believe it is 
possible that TR might be saving your resulting file to a 
folder of its own choosing, although I can't say why exactly. 
I'm just trying to make sure that you are sure that TR is using 
the desktop as a default, because it doesn't usually. If I 
remember correctly, I think it saves folders under my 
documents\my music, but not sure anymore. I have my files 
presently saved to a folder of my own creation called "TR 
Downloads." That is where I save my audio streamed recordings at present.


I know that this is a matter of personal preference, but I 
really don't like to do such tasks from the desktop anyway, 
just for housekeeping purposes, but I have my organizational 
eccentricities just like everybody else does .

[Larry Higgins]

Just making sure. When you save as, when you tab backwards to see 
where the file is being saved, it is being saved on the desktop? Just 
for the hell of it, do a search on your hard drive for your file with 
Windows find, just in case there is a duplicate. If there is, that 
may be the one you have been working on.


I really wish you luck with this one. As I suggested, you might send 
an enquiry to the guys at High Criteria and maybe that can suggest 
something we haven't thought of. TR sure has been a great and 
reliable utility for me for a lot of years, and I hope it will be for 
you in the very near future.


Good luck,

Larry

Re: Progress Report On My Total Recorder Problem

It will if he chooses to replace it. This works the same as if he 
were using a word processor. If he chooses not to replace the file, 
then the new version will not contain the deleted material.


This process really shouldn't be all that difficult, but computers 
sure can act strange at times. I took a look at the manual the other 
night regarding saving selections, and saw no indication that the 
professional edition was necessary for this function to work. Just 
hoping that there wasn't a mistaken ommition in the docs.

In that case , after the section is marked  just tap the delete key

I think the original file will not be changed.

That may work if you really want to save a selection. However, if 
he wants to save a file with a selected portion removed, then he 
needs to be able to save the file after removing a selection. All 
he'll get if he saves such a  selection is material he doesn't 
want saved in its own file, and nothing else.

Shift l marks the left boundary and shift r marks the right

Once this region is marked there is a special file save that

arow down in through the files menue and you will se special

Re: Progress Report On My Total Recorder Problem

[Larry Higgins]

OK Tom, but here is a question. Can you save such a selection to a 
file. If you can, and yet can't save a file without the material that 
you were able to save a selection too, then that is even more wierd 
than not being able to save a file without deleted material. Does 
that make sense? I mean, if you could save a selected portion to 
another file, then you would at least know that saving selected 
material of any sort were at least possible.

Re: Question about goldwave, CD reader.

[Larry Higgins]

Hmmm, I hadn't heard this either. I know that this has nothing to do 
specifically with Goldwave, but I did confront a somewhat frustrating 
problem when using CDEX to rip from cds with my HP external USB drive 
for the first time. I was trying to make use of the HP driver with 
CDEX, and ultimately realized that I needed to use the generic 
setting in order to do the ripping process properly. It seems that 
the multiple driver choices in CDEX are meant for internal drives, 
not USBs. What would happen when trying to rip, I would end up with a 
sizable file, but complete silence. When going back to the generic, 
perfect rip. Maybe I'll have to give this a go with Goldwave. I've 
just never felt the need to do so before. In fact, I never even knew 
that you could do ripping with that program

Here it is:

"Do you have an external USB CD drive and are you using Windows 
XP?  There is a known problem with the USB driver in Windows XP that 
can cause the computer to crash.  You'll need to use other CD

Hi, Mark and List,

Just to be sure we're on the same page, go to tools by pressing alt-that.
Then select cd Reader and press "enter."

From what you write, that's what you're doing.  I wonder if perhaps you're
running Windows 7 and using a version of Goldwave which is not compatible
with that operating system.

If this isn't the problem, I have to guess that your copy of the program
is corrupted.  Get another copy and uninstall the current copy before
installing the new download.

I rip cds occasionally and have no difficulty.

Has anybody ever had this happen?

[Larry Higgins]

Listers,

Lately I have been experiencing what appears to be a startup problem 
that manifests itself when plugging in my card reader with a 16gb 
SCHD card for copying content to my VRStream. Some times, I am told 
that my device isn't a USB2 device, and I should think about 
installing USB2 on my system. OK, at least I think I remember it 
saying something to that effect.  When I just press escape to remove 
the message, my copying definitely is slower than when I don't 
receive this message. I think I was also having this problem the 
other night when trying to rip with cdex. The rips were painfully 
slow. In that case, I went to sleep on it, and the next morning, 
things were back to normal, and my rips proceeded normally.


I'm just wondering if there is a place I can go within the control 
panel to check on the status of my USB setup in Windows, as in the 
control panel. And if so, what should I look for. Whenever I look at 
some of this stuff within device manager, it seems more than a bit 
over my head, and I consider myself to be an experienced PC user 
after lo these 20 years . Anyway, this problem is becoming both 
annoying and worrisome. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Regarding the Winamp update messages whether they're annoying or not
varies greatly depending on your point of view (smile).  I absolutely
love keeping up with the very latest software in most cases so I'm eager
to keep up with the latest version of Winamp so for me any update
messages from software are always helpful and very welcome.  Of course
the other solution to stop these messages is to install the latest
version once you get the update message.

nothing is muted.  If I check the list of sounds

Re: To all of you Total Recorder aficionados out there, a puzzle for you

[Larry Higgins]

Well James, I tried that approach, but no go. I am willing to assume 
the role of a total beginner here and have you direct me. For one 
thing, what should be my driver configuration. At present, I'm using 
the "User-mode virtual device driver (Playback/Record through 
TotalRecorder)" selection. Do I need to default to using TR as my 
default playback device? I think I have successfully done this, but I 
still can't get any sound recorded or played back with the soundboard 
muted. I really couldn't swear as to just what my settings were

can't find one. I remember there being a monitoring option that one

that box, that, at least as far as I can remember, allowed me to 
record linein in the background, but now I can't seem to find 
anything remotely relating to monitoring, unless it is preview 
monitoring, and that doesn't seem to help.


Please, please, don't get this issue confused with hearing speech 
through my soundcard going to my linein recording. I have that 
covered, no problemo.

Hope somebody has a relatively easy solution to this one. I use

The problem is that when using Winamp to listen to these streams, I

looked through the configuration dialog for the decoder, but can'

Re: Total Record and Windows7

[Larry Higgins]

As I said, if you record the stream by opening the URL, you don't 
have to worry about hearing your synth in your recording. If you 
record from your receiver, you record using line in and you don't 
have to worry about hearing your synth either. I'll have to do some 
experimenting with streams using the software driver, but I don't see 
why you should hear speech with a netcast unless you are using the 
what you hear setting. That can be very frustrating until you figure 
that one out.


I think I'll work with some of this tomorrow just to refresh my 
memory about how I used to do things before I discovered recording by 
passing the sound card entirely with the open URL option. I'll let ya 
know how things turn out.

\Peter, I may not have the answer because I am not using Windows 7. 
The only reason I even respond to your post is to ask a question. 
Are you able to record the stream by using the open URL option in 
the file menu? If you can do that with the stream you are 
recording, then you definitely wont have to worry about JAWS being 
heard on the recording because the stream is being downloaded 
directly to a file rather than going through  the sound card.


Another thing to consider. In the TR installation, there is a 
listing of recommended drivers to be installed and used by TR. Did 
you have TR default to the recommended driver?


I address these issues humbly because I haven't yet migrated to 
Windows 7. As a matter of fact, I am still using XP, and intend to 
keep on using XP until I cain't use it no more . I take this 
stand because TR and other hard and software are still working well 
enough to meet my needs. But when that starts to change...


One of the more frustrating things I've found with the latest 
releases of TR are the way speech lags within the menus. I have to 
believe that the folks at High Criteria can do a better job with 
that issue. Surely they appreciate their loyal blind following 
enough to address the problem.

You can edit mp3 files with TR without reencoding. I'm not sure about

Replay AV, and javascript

[Larry Higgins]

Hello to Replay AV users,

My question to you all is simply this. Will Replay AV background 
record javascript streams? I am currently using Total Recorder, and 
let me say, I love it. However, I consider it rather frustrating that 
there is no way to background record some streams, especially those 
that require javascript, as well as those that are found on the Radio 
Time site that make use of an embedded player of some type.


If I recall, when using Radio Time, TR tells me that such a file 
cannot be recorded in such a way, and I think it might be related to 
either scripting or an embedded player arrangement. Anyway, does 
Replay AV present a work around for this problem, or are there 
methods of capturing audio pretty much the same. Hope this is making 
some kinda sense .


Thanks,

Larry

Re: Victor Reader Stream or Book Cents

[Larry Higgins]

John, Not that I think that this is an issue that 
would make me consider throwing my Stream in the 
garbage, or migrating to one of the other 
players, but she is kind of right about this one. 
If you press the 4 or 6 button when you are in 
the bookshelf, it does take some time for the 
stream to fully identify the book. It has to 
speak all the numbers up to the presently 
highlighted book, and if you press to the right 
or left too fast, there can be a significant 
delay. Not having tried any of the other players, 
I don't know if this is an issue or not. It is 
easy enough however to press the go to key, and 
estimate the number of the book you are looking 
for, and of course, that cuts down considerably 
on having to thumb through all books. In other 
words, kind of a small annoyance when you 
consider all the nice features and power of the machine as a whole.


Just my two cents,

Larry

hate how slowly the machine goes through a list 
of NLS books. You can't just hit the button 
five times and be five books further up or down 
the list, you have to listen to it read every

sometimes, it stops after a number and pauses

Another issue with Total Recorder - got it fixed

[Larry Higgins]

Not that there would have been a solution outside of reinstallation, 
that's just what I ended up doing, and the problem is now solved. 
Even tried restoring my system back to the 20th of this month, a day 
before making the apparent mistake, but lost sound altogether. I'm 
still trying to figure that one out. It looks as if something such as 
a driver file was removed or renamed, making it impossible for an ini 
file or a registry entry to correctly locate a driver or something. 
Anyway, I really sound like I'm on top of this one huh  :). Anyway, 
what matters is that everything is once again working as it should. 
Just thought I owed you all that much in the way of an explanation anyway.

press the arrow key on its volume control to get it in line with its own

will go, but it doesn't give me that volume level until I press the
right arrow key, and then everything operates normally, at least as far
as I can tell. I have tried every setting in the driver portion of the
settings dialog box to no avail, even to the point of going to control

normally. I have selected the option in the drivers section "User-mode
virtual device driver (Playback/Record through TotalRecorder) (Radio
Button)." Under this option, I have TR using the driver only when TR is
loaded, but still get apparent interference at startup with TR.

Now I have been using this program for I guess 10 years, and have never
had this kind of problem. So, what gives? Is there something within the
registry that I need to tweak? I guess I can live with this state of

bit hurt :).

Another issue with Total Recorder - yet another wrinkle

[Larry Higgins]

Here's an interesting development. When logging in as my wife, my 
volume at startup is normal. After logging out of her account, and 
logging back into mine, startup volume is normal. Where it gets 
interesting is after restarting and logging into my account, we're 
back to the previous volume issue.


I guess the next thing I'm going to do is go to the \application data 
folder, and see if there is something else to mess with. I just can't 
seem to find anything in the troubleshooting section of the help for 
this one. Maybe there are some forums on the TR site that I haven't 
been made aware of where someone else might have encountered this 
issue. Nevertheless, if any of you TR users could give me a pointer 
or two, it would sure be welcome.


Thanks again,

never had this kind of problem. So, what gives? Is there something 
within the registry that I need to tweak? I guess I can live with 
this state of affairs, but I feel a little insulted at my inability 
to get to the bottom of this one, at least my technical intelligence 
and pride are a bit hurt :).


Any help with issue will be so greatly appreciated,

Larry

Re: WINAMP 5.57 and SOME OPERATING SISTEMS

[Larry Higgins]

Well, for the longest time, you had to use the direct sound output 
plugin for that purpose, but a couple of years ago, it became 
possible to do the same with the waveout as well. I don't know but 
what they discontinued the waveout due to redundancy, or if my 
particular copy just didn't have it on board, but I can't imagine 
even how such a thing could happen. I will observe though, that using 
the Waveout for volume control was a bit delicate. It had a kind of 
hair trigger, not taking much of a press on either arrow key to have 
it move up or down.

Well John, I'm sorry to say that I can't help with your issue, 
because it seems to work here on the same identical system. One 
thing I've noticed, I no longer have a waveout plugin all of a 
sudden. I guess I'll have to do a search on my 'puter in the hopes 
that I can locate one somewhere on my system and simply copy it 
over to the plugins folder, but I dunno. There are times when you 
really need that plugin, especially if you need to record something 
using Total Recorder and while using both programs at once .

Re: An MP3Gain question

[Larry Higgins]

Thanks Timothy. I thought that when bringing up the add folder dialog 
box, that you might be able to simply select each of the subfolders 
by using the shift-arrow keys, but I guess not. I did bring up the 
dialog box for each individual folder instead, and used the apply 
album gain option, and I think it's working. At least that is the 
output indicator when I use the WE Speak all function.


Anyway, thanks much for your common sense and concise explanation,

Larry

Hi listers,

I'm wondering if it is possible, or even more importantly advisable
to try to choose multiple folders for normalization with MP3Gain? I
really don't like the idea of all of the tracks in the different
folders to be averaged differently which would ultimately defeat the
purpose of normalization in the first place. I have three folders
with about 200 or more songs in each. Now, it seems to even me quite
a tall order to have a program of any kind work that hard at
processing this many files at once, but if it is possible I would
like to get it done. To summarize, I have all of the folders placed
in as subfolder, and would like to select them all for processing. I
plan to place all of these music files on a card for listening on my
VRStream.

All help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Textaloud wont read pdf document.

[Larry Higgins]

After all this time, you may already have answers to your question, 
but just in case you don't, here are some questions that I hope 
contain an answer or two. Are you sure that it is a text based .pdf 
file, or is it an image? If it is an image with little or no text to 
be read, then Textaloud, like your screen reader cannot read directly 
from the document. If it is text based, then I don't know what the 
problem might be. Have you tried reading the file with your screen 
reader first to make sure that it isn't actually a series of graphic 
images with text written on them? If it is in deed an image, and not 
a text based document, you might try running the document through an 
OCR program like Openbook, or Kurzweil if you are fortunate to have 
either one of these programs. After doing so, then convert the 
resulting text document to something that Textaloud might recognize, 
then try converting to .mp3.


I must admit, that as an only occasional Textaloud user, that I've 
never attempted to have Textaloud render a .pdf file into audio, but 
if it is designed to do so, then the suggestions I've given above 
will work. Sure hope I'm not out of line here, and hope you've solved 
your problem by now.

Today i was trying to creat an mp3 file out of a nokia manual.
Its in pdf format which textaloud is supposed to support.
But it crasches after 5 minutes or so and just leav a temp file on the hard
disk  called temp.wav.
Actually can't say whats going on.
I haven't tried to read it as a text file to mp3.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Is this possible with Goldwave?

[Larry Higgins]

OK Gary, this is the way I did it. I simply selected all of the files 
I wished to merge from the folder in Windows Explorer, then copied 
all of them to the clipboard, then move focus to the Goldwave Merge 
dialog box, and paste them all into that box. I would think that 
would take care of the problem, meaning, that my selected files would 
be placed in the proper order. However, that blasted last file in the 
bunch still insists on being the first in the list.


I did find a rather clunky way of dealing with this problem though. I 
simply opened up the completed product file in Total Recorder, and 
cut the material from the last cd at the beginning, and placed it at 
the end of the file, making things right, but I really shouldn't have 
to go to all that trouble. I guess I can at least be thankful that at 
least I have that option.


Thanks for the suggestion,

Larry

Hey Dennis, thanks for your answer. As I said in a later post, I 
managed to remember the file Merge option just after posting my 
question to the list. Actually, to be accurate, I was reading the 
changes page on the Goldwave site for v5.25, to which I immediately 
downloaded and upgraded and heard the term "File Merge" and it hit 
me . As I said, I don't use the program a whole lot, so I tend 
to get a little rusty with the recall.


Now, could you tell me if it is possible to keep the Merge from 
placing the last file in the merge cue at the top of the order? One 
would think that the fine people at Goldwave would have tackled 
that little quirk long before now.

Hi listers,
I just downloaded a couple of audio books, and unfortunately, the 
person who converted these books didn't convert the files into a 
single file for each cd, but left all the tracks converted as 
individual tracks. All I want to do is to take these files, and 
place them in their proper order, and making one mp3 file for each cd.
As of a few minutes ago, I took a look at the batch processing 
options in Goldwave, but can find no one step way to select all 
these files, and consolidate all these mp3 files into one file. 
Is there a way to do this, or must I copy each file, one after 
the other, adding them to the last mp3 file created in a manual 
fashion. Surely there has to be an easier way to do this. If some 
one can instruct me in the best way to go about what it is I am 
trying to do, I would really appreciate the help.
The reason I would like to accomplish this particular task, is to 
make it easier to listen to these files on my Victor Stream, 
rather than the Victor classic, because fast forwarding, and 
rewind are so much better on the stream.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Larry
