  As to the high speed question, I can answer that one.  I am
 doing now.
 It
  works good, and am having no trouble with it.  I do have to
 add in some
 high
  frequencies after recording at higher speeds, but it is
 worth it in the

2007-10-15 Thread Brett Boyer
Ye all the above. I have personal recordings on 4-track at normal and LOC 
speed. I have stereo music. So many things.
Ok so there is no loss of audio if i record at high-speed playback and slow 
it down when it's time to save. Ye all of these as far as I know will go to 
mp3 onto a hard drive. I'm woried about cd's fading after a few years. Most 
of the editing I will do in SF (got it working by the way thanks to snowman) 
had to break down and install JFW for it but it was worth it.
Anyway sorry for the rambling it's late.
thanks again

Bless you, Cornell.  Finally got this thing to work with your help!

Now, could someone tell me how to get to the text when you see those stupid 
clickable on mouse over messages?  I've tried using that jawskey plus v to 
get to where those choices are that I thought would allow you to click on 
those mouse over announcements, but I can't make hide nor hair out of what 
to do.  I realize this may not quite be an audio question, but it may indeed 
be, given how often that clickable on mouse over shows up on websites these 
days.

Densely,

A question about the XFI line of creative soundcards

2007-10-15 Thread Dan Eickmeier
Hi all,
Other friends of mine that have creative sound blaster XFI cards, 
have said that they have a compressor in them, but I can't find 
anywhere to control it, let alone enable it.  The particular card 
that i have here, is the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio.  IS there a 
compressor in this one somewhere?  or is it only in other cards in 
the series?  I've poked around in the audio console, looking at the 
various tabs, to no avail, no compressor to be found

CD Burning Problem

2007-10-15 Thread Dan Kerstetter
I'm using Nero Burning Rom to burn some CD's which have tracks which run 
together--most notably, Pink Floyd and Chicago.

No matter what I do I cannot get the transitions between tracks to go smoothly. 
 I've even tried a couple different ideas in GoldWave.

I would appreciate any ideas on how to correct this problem.

Thanks.

I'd say the 24 bit crystalizer is the closest thing it has to  a compressor.

In my experience you get a slight gap playing the CD on the computer, but 
not playing it on a CD player, don't know why though.

(OT) Accessible Cell Phone Question

2007-10-15 Thread Wes Derby
Hi All.

I know this is off-topic, but frankly, I wasn't sure which list was best to 
subscribe to to ask for help, so here it is.  If someone can point me in the 
right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Does anyone here use the Samsung A640 from Sprint?  I've been a Sprint customer 
foryears, and because we get a discount from my wife's company, didn't want to 
switch to Verizon even though I know they have semi-accessible phones.  I heard 
the podcast about the Samsung A640 on BlindCoolTech.com and went and replaced 
my phone with one.  I'd also like to hear from any users of the next model up, 
the M300, in case it does what I'm looking for...Then, I'll take this back and 
upgrade.

First Question: With the text-to-speech enabled, I notice that when I get a 
call, it only announces the number. Is there a way to set it, as you can with 
some of the Verizon phones, to announce the number AND use your chosen ringer?

Second, I notice one of my coworkers, who has the Verizon LG5200, that his 
phone will announce the caller's name instead of their number if it's someone 
in their address book when they call.  Is there a way to set the A640 to do 
this?

If the A640 can't do it, does anyone know if the M300 can?

I read the manual, and it barely mentioned the TTS.

Feel free to email me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] so we don't clog the list 
with this discussion.

Thanks.

Wes

Re: Winamp vs WMP

2007-10-15 Thread Wes Derby
Albert.

I see you know something about Winamp 5.5.  Mind letting me know your 
settings, what screenreader you're using, and all that?  As you may have 
seen before, I'm having crashing issues.  It's only on the "Audio" view of 
the library though, and only when I tab to an actual list of individual 
songs...CD burning and ripping works fine...The "Video" screen seems to work 
fine.  The only other one that gives me trouble is the "Recently Added" 
screen in the library.

I've re-submitted the error to Winamp's folks, and they're apparently 
stumped...Apparently, the only people having this problem are those of us 
running screenreaders.

Obviously, this question is open to anyone who wants to offer 
suggestions...The only difference is, I'm running Winamp Pro.  Everything 
else in it is the same as "Full", but I have faster ripping and burning 
spedds, and more encoding choices, and as I said, ripping and burning aren't 
causing me any trouble.
