Re: frustrated with import of broadcast wave files

2012-01-12 Thread Kevin Reeves
What was selected when the import dialog came up? There's a radio button for 
Start of session that is checked by default.

 Hi:
 I decided to try sending my partner a pt session comprised of tracks that had 
 imported broadcast wave files that were exported from Sonar.  I had exported 
 the audio from sonar by selecting only the portion of the project that 
 contained the clip for the track I was exporting, doing this one at a time.  
 This was all to make the session more manageable in size.  When I imported 
 the files into PT, they all started at the beginning of the song.  I had to 
 manually slide each track using the shift function to the proper place, 
 defeating the whole purpose.  Has anybody had any success importing time 
 stamped files into pt?  Should I have put them into the clip list rather than 
 directly onto the tracks?

Re: Ardour Accessibility

Actually, I think someone could. The deal about reaper, is that it's completely 
open source. Therefore, someone could develop a plugin for it that actually 
completely changed the look and feel of the program. Wonder if someone could 
write a skin that passed a bunch of UX stuff to voiceover, such as putting 
things in propper containers such as tables, drawers, button groups, etc.

from what i read elsewhere, victor who did JSonar, took alook at it
and says everything is there to do that, its just a matter of someone
taking the time to do it. And after JSonar, he isn't interested in
taking on another such project at this time which is quite
understandable.

Re: software for noise reduction

2012-01-12 Thread CHUCK REICHEL
Hi 
This is the best Noice remover I've heard so far ;)
I have been using X-noise for the last 10 years and its paid for it self many 
times over!
Last year i added Z-Noise here is a small blurbb from Z-Noise manual below

Waves Z-Noise
Waves Z-Noise is a single-ended broadband noise reduction audio processor. It 
very effectively reduces noise while preserving the highest audio quality. 
Superficially, Z-Noise works like other broadband noise reduction processors 
which use a noise profile, or noise print, to differentiate valid signal from 
noise. However, Z-Noise uses intelligent multi-level decision algorithms to 
maximize noise reduction with minimum unwanted artifacts. Plus, Z-Noise uses a 
more musical band spilt method for more natural results throughout the sound 
spectrum.
Z-Noise is ideal for removing additive noise such as tape hiss, vinyl surface 
damage, wind, air conditioner and ventilation system noise. Z-Noise offers 
several improvements, including:
• Z-Noise works on the complete frequency spectrum, thus high-frequency hiss 
and low-frequency rumble can be removed in the same pass. It is a truly 
broadband noise removal tool.

Waves X-Noise

Talk soon

 Hi all,
 
 Does anyone of you use a software for noise reduction? At the moment, I'm 
 trying isotope RX 2. Nearly all modules are accessible from pro tools, but 
 the spectral repair, where you can eliminate certain noises, such as the 
 noise of a car, isn't accessible.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks

RE: Looking to take Pro Tools 101 here in Tthe Netherlands

That is extremely expensive.
The class here is a 14 week class at 1 hour per week. They assume that you
spend around 2 hours outside class with assignments etc.
I think through the university it is around $400.
The PT110 class is the same.
I'm working on having the two texts for these classes done in braille.
Recording them would be much harder especially since there are lots of side
notes and diagrams, figures and tables that would have to be described.

Weber State University is certified to teach both PT101 and PT110 as well as
proctor the exams. At least I believe they can do the exams.
Mark has put a lot of effort into teaching the classes and making them
workable for a blind person.

Sorry, that price just boggles the mind. Mark offered to teach me One-on-one
for something like a fourth of that as I recall.
Even for a third of that cost it would be more reasonable.

Hi, I am in the USA and am also interested in taking the pro tools
certification classes.  It would be great to take these classes even if some
areas of pro tools are not accessible as this way we can alert Avid about
these issues and get them resolved.  Letting developers know when their
software is not as usable as we would like it is the only way to make it
fully accessible.  I always let developers know about accessibility issues
as if we do nothing then the chances of issues getting fixed are a lot less
unless we let them know what needs to be done.  I also find that if done in
a nice way most developers are quite willing to make their software more
accessible.  Nick Gawronski

 Hello all,

 I have been asking around a bit over here in The Netherlands if and where
I could take the Pro tools 101 course. No one has any experience with blind
people and Voice Over but one certain college is willing to give it a try.
The lenght of the course will be doubled at least and the costs are going to
be as high as 4500 dollar because it's gonna be a one on one situation.
That's a lot of money when considering no succes is garanteed due to
inaccessibility of some areas in Pro Tools.
 So I would like to ask you guys, I know some you like J.R and Kevin Reeves
are taking or have taken it, if you could help me making a list with areas
of concern. This way I can show this to the instructor and discuss the
possibilities before wasting lots of money. The course will be on PT10.

 Your input will be greatly appreciated!

 Kind regards,
 Ronald
