Can anyone please tell me whether using a USB mixer for internet radio is significantly different to using an ordinary mixer?

Replay Music 3.20 beta news continued
Replay Music 3.20 beta update. The control tab shortcut does work within the settings dialog box but shift control tab shortcut does not. The control tab will jump you to the next tab properties and all in PC cursor mode. The shift control tab will not land you in the previous tab properties. For example if you are in the splitting tab/page and presses the shortcut shift control tab you will not land in the INPUT tab properties but instead will remain in the splitting tab properties. But using control tab shortcut will jump you through all 4 tabs: input, splitting, proxy, output and all using JAWS PC cursor mode. This was not the case before. It's a big time improvement. Eliminates having to use the JAWS cursor. He may fix the shift control tab to work for us too. I see a bug there when using shift control tab so I asked him to try and fix it.

Re: USB mixer question?
I would suggest that perhaps a USB mixer would be better, as it is specifically designed for computer use, and hopefully the issues of grounding would be addressed. Some of the cheaper mixers are not properly shielded, and as a result you end up with a bad recording that may have a hum, and it is also possible to pick up interference from other sources such as radio stations. It is for this reason that it is highly recommended that you use shielded cables and proper grounding where ever possible. Just my two cents worth. . - Original Message - From: "George Day" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 10:35 AM Subject: USB mixer question? > Can anyone please tell me whether using a USB mixer for internet radio > is significantly different to using an ordinary mixer? > > George > ** > IMPORTANT NOTICE: > This email transmission is privileged, confidential and intended solely > for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.

Re: Error Msg when burning cds.
Hi Arthur. Thanks so much for the heads up re the lens cleaner. I'll keep that in mind. Unfortunately, I think I may have to get a new drive. I'm going to try and burn some data disks in a few minutes and see what happens. Btw. I'm using Premere Easy C D Creator. The highest speed it will burn is 40 X. I could only purchase 48 X c ds. They're now coming out with 52 x speed c ds. I can't burn 52 x cds with my burner or the software I'm using. Will the 52 X speed cds play on an M P 3 player after the disks have been finalized?

cleaning records
friends, I'd like to ask, what's the best way to remove scratches off of a record? I've heard two different things. Alcohol and or water. i don't think anyone in their right mind will use water. can someone help on this?

RE: cleaning records
Hi Randy. If you are referring to vinyl then you can't remove scratches, you can only limit their effects. You should never use water when cleaning vinyl. this produces a sludge that when dry hardens and makes the problem worse. I suggest that you go to a specialist Hi-fi dealer who will suggest a liquid cleaner that will be effective but you need to use it with a very fine brush or velvet cloth. When I was using vinyl a brand that was expensive but very effective was "Discwasher".

Re: cleaning records
High Randy, You're right, you don't want to use water to clean your records. All water will do is make the dust stick to the grooves. When that happens, it's a lot of hard work to remove the dust from the record. Use a slightly damp cloth that's been damped with alcohol. That should do the trick for you. My best regards!

Re: cleaning records
This topic has been covered before, however for the benefit of all here it is once again. . Care Of LPs, 45s And Other Vinyl Records Most LPs and singles released after the early fifties are composed ofpolyvinyl materials and are more durable than it's predecessors. Whencleaning vinyl records, I recommend a 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol(70% by Vol.) or denatured alcohol (fewer impurities) and filtered ordistilled water (again, fewer impurities). A few claim that alcohol isdamaging to vinyl... 70% or more by volume strength and continual contact fora long period of time, maybe... but not in the recommended dilution. Alcoholis water soluble and leaves little or no residue. A mild detergent, such asJohnson and Johnson Baby Bath, can be used in small amounts with water withno rinsing necessary. Photo Flo is a wetting agent used in photography tohelp reduce water spots and marks during the rinsing of negatives. A coupleof drops in the above solutions also help in reducing residual deposits.The solution should be applied with a soft, clean washcloth, wiping in acircular motion with the grooves. Rinse the cloth often in the solution andreplace with a fresh mixture when needed. I recommend thoroughly drying therecord with a soft, clean towel... this further reduces residue left behind.Try not to get the labels wet.Dirty covers and labels are best left alone. If the cover is laminated orglossy, a damp towel can be used... A mild furniture polish does nicely too.Marks or writing on the cover may be able to be removed with a rubber eraser.Lighter fluid (naphtha) or even hair spray works great on pen marks.Permanent marker can be removed by marking over it with a dry erase marker,then wipe with a dry cloth... It really works! Stickers, labels, tape andsuch can be removed by heating the area with a hair dryer. The heat breaksdown the adhesive and makes it softer and easier to remove sticker and allwithout a great risk of damaging the cover or sleeve.

Replay AV in the news
Replay AV is nominated as Best Software for the Blind and Visually Impaired San Anselmo, CA- January 28, 2008 - Replay AV was the only mainstream software nominated in the Best Software category in the Blind Bargains 2007 Access Awards this week. The other software nominated in the best software category was specifically designed for blind users. Although, Replay AV didnt win the award the programs inclusion in the top four Best Software category is a testament to the efforts Applian Technologies has put into making their products accessible to the blind. The fact that a mainstream software product such as Replay AV was nominated amongst programs specifically for the blind shows me the commitment to equal access exhibited by Applian Technologies. Said J.J. Meddaugh, Webmaster for BlindBargains.com Other companies should follow their lead and work to include the blind and visually impaired when producing and distributing software. About a year ago a blind forum was established (http://www.freelists.org/list/blindreplay) to help blind users understand how to use Replay AV and other Applian Products. Petro T. Giannakopoulos, the forums unofficial monitor and avid computer user, has created regular podcasts (http://blindreplay.blogspot.com/2008/01/mp3-tutorials-on-replay-av-8.html) that demonstrate how to use the different features of Replay AV and other Applian programs like Replay Media Catcher, their streaming flash video recorder and Replay Music, their streaming music recorder. Mr. Giannakopoulos also acts as a beta tester for Applian to test any new product developments or enhancements to ensure that the programs work well with his screen reader and offer easy keyboard shortcuts. Additionally, a member of Applians staff also monitors the forum to make sure that the company is staying abreast of any accessibility issues that their programs might have. Any recommendations from the forum are immediately relayed back to the developers so they can fix any accessibility issues that may arrive. The members of the blind forum predominantly like to use Replay AV to capture their favorite streaming radio shows. But interestingly, the blind users also use Replay AV to capture streaming video like the playlists you would find on YouTube. The blind users like to listen to the videos just like they like to listen to their favorite radio shows. Replay AV has brought a lot of enjoyment to my life, said Petro. Applian is a great company that really cares about making their products accessible to the blind user. Bill Dettering is a fantastic CEO and the overall company is a fantastic group. Our programs have always been about helping people get more enjoyment out of streaming media, said Bill Dettering. We are thrilled that our products have developed a loyal following in the blind community. Replay A/V and all other Applian products are available for download and immediate purchase from the Applian Technologies web site at http://www.applian.com. Free demos are available for all the products. The programs require a PC running Windows. About Applian Technologies Applian Technologies was started by Bill Dettering in 2000 with the launch of Replay Radio, a program Bill created to combat the boredom of his long commute down to Silicon Valley every day. Replay Radio allowed Bill to listen to his favorite radio programs whenever he wanted. Now, seven years after the launch of Replay Radio, Applian is recognized as the global leader in recording software. Other popular Applian products include the Audio Video Streaming Capture Suite, Replay AV, Replay Media Catcher, Replay Music, Replay Converter, and Replay Screencast.

cleaning records
The following recipes are for a 4 liter (1 gallon) solution unless otherwise stated. Distilled water Alcohol Detergent 1 part 1 part isopropyl none 1 part 1 part isopropyl a drop of Triton X-100 1 quart (~ 1 liter) 1/2 quart denatured 10 drops Photoflo 3 parts 1 part denatured a few drops 3 parts 1 part rubbing a few drops 4 parts 1 part ethanol some (Genie in the Bottle) Laura Dearborn's recipe Distilled water Alcohol Detergent 3 parts 1 part isopropyl 1 drop Triton X-114 or Monolan 2000 Don Roderick's recipe Distilled water Alcohol Detergent 4 parts 1 part isopropyl (91%) 7-8 drops dishwashing detergent w/o additives Keith Monks's recipe (TAS) Distilled water Alcohol + Detergent 1 part 1 part denatured alcohol (90% ethyl, 9.5% methyl, .5% pyridine) . Jonathan Scull's recipe (Stereophile) Distilled water Alcohol Detergents 3 parts 1 part NON-lanolin isopropyl 10 drops Photo-Flo + 10 drops "Direct" tile cleaner I know there are more "solutions" but these are just meant to be starting points and/or examples. After washing the record with one of these fluids it is wise to rinse it with pure distilled water. This way any remaining particles of dirt will be washed away from the grooves. Then you can dry the record using a soft chamois leather or a soft cotton cloth. Esoteric drying can be done by clamping the record to a drill and turning it at the highest speed possible. Seriously :-) The bottom line is: keep your records as clean as possible. - Original Message - From: "Bob Seed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 6:27 PM Subject: Re: cleaning records > This topic has been covered before, however for the benefit of all here it > is once again. . > > Care Of LPs, 45s And Other Vinyl Records > > Most LPs and singles released after the early fifties are composed > ofpolyvinyl materials and are more durable than it's predecessors. > Whencleaning vinyl records, I recommend a 50/50 solution of isopropyl > alcohol(70% by Vol.) or denatured alcohol (fewer impurities) and filtered > ordistilled water (again, fewer impurities).

Re: cleaning records
High Bob, Early yesterday morning, I discovered a website that sails records as well as CD's and cassette tapes. Sense records are cheaper then CD's, I will start collecting them again. I know it's old school, but it will make my job as a DJ a whole lot easier to bare and do. I will be spending these for a lot of people on a 2 day/weekly bases. These cleaning solutions that you spoke of, where can I go to get them? Thanks. John. - Original Message - From: "Bob Seed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 12:23 AM Subject: cleaning records > The following recipes are for a 4 liter (1 gallon) solution unless > otherwise > stated. > > > > Distilled water Alcohol Detergent > 1 part 1 part isopropyl none > 1 part 1 part isopropyl a drop of Triton X-100 > 1 quart (~ 1 liter) 1/2 quart denatured 10 drops Photoflo > 3 parts 1 part denatured a few drops > 3 parts 1 part rubbing a few drops > 4 parts 1 part ethanol some (Genie in the Bottle) > > > Laura Dearborn's recipe > Distilled water Alcohol Detergent > 3 parts 1 part isopropyl 1 drop Triton X-114 or Monolan 2000 > > > Don Roderick's recipe > Distilled water Alcohol Detergent > 4 parts 1 part isopropyl (91%) 7-8 drops dishwashing detergent w/o > additives > > > Keith Monks's recipe (TAS) > Distilled water Alcohol + Detergent > 1 part 1 part denatured alcohol (90% ethyl, 9.5% methyl, .5% > pyridine) > . > > > Jonathan Scull's recipe (Stereophile) > Distilled water Alcohol Detergents > 3 parts 1 part NON-lanolin isopropyl 10 drops Photo-Flo + 10 drops > "Direct" tile cleaner > > I know there are more "solutions" but these are just meant to be starting > points and/or examples. > > > After washing the record with one of these fluids it is wise to rinse it > with pure distilled water.
