Re: Them little round plastic things
Ok, here's my original message on the subject of the Imic posted on 4 December 2006. “ Subject:Them little round plastic things Hi All! I'm a user of 2 very different computer systems here, I use standard PC'S with Windows and LINUX and I use my trusty Mac so when I heard about a small sound device that could be plugged into all my machines without any need for drivers I was most interested hence the arrival of my Imic today. I felt cheated there for a while when i received the box, something as small as this promising me good audio quality? My misgivings increased upon the opening of the box to discover that the Imic is about 1 and a half inches round, it looks almost comical, like one of those toys we used to play with as kids, like an oversized watch or a standard sized lollypop but the outside looks I can assure you having tested this little beauty are truly deceptive. The Imic plugs into a USB 2.0 port of your computer and as I've already stated, whether you're a fan of your Mac or of your PC makes no difference whatsoever, just plug the Imic in and you have another sound device, great for those laptop systems that don't have a full sound device built-in. The layout of the Imic is extremely simple, just 2 3.5MM minijack stereo sockets and 1 switch. One socket is for line-out whilst the other is for line-in/stereo microphone, the switch toggles the line- in socket between microphone and line-in. So how does it perform? just as good as any other sound card or device as I said earlier, I'm amazed. How do you know its connected? With the Mac you see it available as an audio input/output device. In Windows, you'll see it in the list of audio devices under the audio tab in Sound. How much is an Imic? An absolute steal at $50.00 Australia, that's what I paid for mine. A CD ROM comes with the Imic but as yet I haven't examined its contents, I've had no need to.” On 30/12/2006, at 10:17 PM, James Shaker wrote: Somewhere along the line, I missed the discription of the Imic.

Ok, well I'm not using software speech with mine however if you're using a laptop as I do then I cannot see why you can't confugre thigns so that the software speech comes out of the output of the laptops internal card that way you can do whatever you wish with the Imic.

RE: Them little round plastic things.
There seems to be a few of them around I thing. Another one I know about is the hifi and hifi pro from www.xitel.com Which seems to get very good reviews indeed. However, I don't think it has any inputs at all but it seems as if the sound quality is really excellent.

Re: Them little round plastic things
Well this is in fact a a sound card if you like, has the same functionality only difference being that it is external rahter than being internal which of course has advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage being the computer generated noise level that some internal audio devices suffer from, with the Imic this is absolutely nill and the quality of audio is absolutely first class. I'm toying with the idea of getting a few more of these things and ditching all my sound cards and onboard internal audio devices of all my computers entirely.

So how does it perform? just as good as any other sound card or device as I said earlier, I'm amazed. How do you know its connected? With the Mac you see it available as an audio input/output device. In Windows, you'll see it in the list of audio devices under the audio tab in Sound. How much is an Imic? An absolute steal at $50.00 Australia, that's what I paid for mine. A CD ROM comes with the Imic but as yet I haven't examined its contents, I've had no need to.

Re: Them little round plastic things
I've tried to send a message to the pc-audio list in reply to your question but it keeps bouncing so here's the original message I wrote again, if it bounces back from the list again then at least I know you will have received it yourself this time. Hi again! Well someone on this list asked had I tested my Imic with JFW to see how sluggish it was. well I had JFW running on one of my machines here so thought I'd give the Imic a go, here are the results. I am using JFW 7.1 and I have this running on a Windows XP machine.. Actually, the machine isn't designed to run Windows XP at all as the machine is a Pentium II 400MHZ system wit with 256 Meg of memory and USB 1.1 only so I'll be honest with you all, I thought the whole thing would fall into a heap with the Imic but that wasn't to be, having changed the audio settings in Audio devices to reflect the Imic which appeared under Audio Devices when I plugged it in, I then unplugged the speakers from my Audigy card and plugged them into the Imic, bloody brliiant! I had to do some volume setting ajustments but not a sign of sliggishness with JFW anywhere and various applications on the machine were running quite happily in the background. Hope that answers your question.

I heard these USB devices end up having latency.

Re: Them little round plastic things
Its no issue whatsoever with the Imic, it just doesn't happen and blows all the internal sound cards away in this issue and others, I had this problem particularly with the Sound Blaster line of cards and my DJ Software.

I heard these USB devices end up having latency. I wonder if that is between multiple devices not being in sync or if it really takes enough time that if you record something that it is going in the file a ways later than it was made so that hitting stop cuts some off? - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 9:27 AM Subject: Re: Them little round plastic things Good question, I'll try that and see what happens, I have JFW on one of my machines here.

The main advantage being the computer generated noise level that some internal audio devices suffer from, with the Imic this is absolutely nill and the quality of audio is absolutely first class. I'm toying with the idea of getting a few more of these things and ditching all my sound cards and onboard internal audio devices of all my computers entirely.

Re: Them little round plastic things
I've certainly recorded in stereo with it, from day one when it first came into my possession. No, the Imic isn't billed as a professional device and nor would you expect it to be for $50.00 but by God, it certainly gives many higher priced audio devices a good run for their money.

I felt cheated there for a while when i received the box, something as small as this promising me good audio quality? My missgivings increased upon the opening of the box to discover that the Imic is about 1 and a half inches round, it looks almost comical, like one of those toys we used to play with as kids, like an oversized watch or a standard sized lollypop but the outside looks I can assure you having tested this little beauty are truly deceptive. The Imic plugs into a USB 2.0 port of your computer and as I've already stated, whether you're a fan of your Mac or of your PC makes no difference whatsoever, just plug the Imic in and you have another sound device, great for those laptop systems that don't have a full sound device built-in. The layout of the Imic is extremely simple, just 2 3.5MM minijack stereo sockets and 1 switch. One socket is for line-out whilst the other is for line-in/stereo microphone, the switch toggles the line- in socket between microphone and line-in. So how does it perform? just as good as any other sound card or device as I said earlier, I'm amazed. How do you know its connected? With the Mac you see it available as an audio input/output device. In Windows, you'll see it in the list of audio devices under the audio tab in Sound. How much is an Imic? An absolute steal at $50.00 Australia, that's what I paid for mine. A CD ROM comes with the Imic but as yet I haven't examined its contents, I've had no need to.

Re: Them little round plastic things
Can this do stereo mix recording if the default sound card is set to it? - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 3:20 AM Subject: Them little round plastic things Hi all! I'm a user of 2 very different computer systems here, I use standard PC'S with Windows and LINUX and I use my trusty Mac so when I heard about a small sound device that could be plugged into all my machines without any need for drivers I was most interested hence the arrival of my Imic today.
