Re: Recording Audio
Hi: I do the same as Ray using Goldwave. I pick up what goes through the Sound card and the mic. I have not tried it with Skype. It required messing with the sound card settings to get it to work. Total Recorder uses a software hook I think and may, or not, require messing with setting up your sound card to get it to work. I am a nube but have managed to capture the audio from youtube guitar lesson videos and slow them down so I could practice them. My suggestion: Pick the one where you find a blind person who has used it to do actual skype recordings if you can find someone. Getting some experienced help while getting started is the best recommendation I can make for any computer related software.

I use Sound forge and Audio Studio to record what's going through the sound card of my computers; not only that but skype conversations and YouTube and BBC streams at high quality. This has meant I don't need to move from my computer to get interviews with some local people as Skype recorded via Sound forge does it very nicely.Streams as well. All that is necessary to do this is to select the right input device in the appropriate recording software's input/output settings. Of course the mixer, (M Audio Delta for the most part in my case) has to be set so that the output faders are right up, or nearly so. the other faders will control levels of line input/ as well as SPDIF, and line and digital outs of the Delta card. Much the same goes for the more humble and grotty on-board sound of my other computer, but Sound Studio (and goldwave) will record what's going through the sound card once the right input has been set. That's often the tricky part and where people often come unstuck. I agree whole heartedly though that goldWave and Total recorder are very good, the latter if you aren't going to do a lot of editing. It depends far more on your sound card, it's settings and the setup of editing software - if that's what you are using. total Recorder would, of course, make things much easier, as well as saving money.

Sound On Sound recording in GoldWave
Hi: There seems much interest in multi-track recording. To avoid the hassle of the complex multi-track recorders it might be possible to just use GoldWave. The technique is one we use to use with old Reel to Reel recorders. Play the backing sound and record at the same time. Here is an article on how to record vocals while listening to another music file, a backing track in my case. I will be trying it out either today or tomorrow. I need to have someone plug in the mic and be around for sighted help if I get stuck. If you try it or have tried it could you let me know? BeginArticle: How do I record vocals over background music or record and play at the same time? To record and play at the same time, such as playing music and recording vocals, you need to use two files as follows: 1. Open the music file. 2. Create a new file for recording the vocals with a length at least a few second longer than the music file. 3. Select the correct recording source . If your sound card has a "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" or similar source that records whatever you hear on your computer speakers/headphones, select that source. That will allow you to record both the music and the vocals at the same time. If not, select the microphone source for the vocals. Tip: Use headphones to prevent echo and feedback caused by the microphone picking up output from speakers. 4. Start recording by clicking the red button (or press Ctrl+F9). 5. Click the mouse on the window containing the music and start playback (press F4). You are now playing and recording at the same time. 6. If your sound card had a "Stereo Mix" source, you are done. The window used for recording should contain a mix of both. 7. If you used the microphone recording source, you will need to copy the music and mix it with the recording after recording is finished, as explained in the next few steps. 8. Use Edit | Copy to copy the music. 9. Click on the window containing the recording, then use Edit | Mix. 10. Adjust the start time and use the preview button to align the audio. 11. Choose OK to mix the music. EndArticle: Note that I dfind Media Player to sound a little nicer so I will try playing the backing file in media player, opening a new recording file and using the output from Media Player, through the speakers, and use the input from the mic to record my guitar over the backing track playing in Media Player. Again, if you have tried this please let me know so I can either go or not go getting sighted help to try it out and see if there is anything that does not speak properly using Windoweyes.

enhancing sound with winamp or windows media player on 64 bit machine
I am using, hopefully very temporarily, a computer with Windows 7 and the v version of Jaws 11 for this 64 bit machine. Winamp won't respond to any commands, and I'm sure this is because there are no Jaws scripts to support this version of Windows. It plays but you can no longer set equalizer or use commands like control shift T, etc. So naturally the sound has a flat effect, and actually my sighted daughter couldn't make the equalizer work either. So Winamp may not be able to be fully used with these 64 bit computers. So for now I'd be willing to go back to Media Player, but its menus are confusing and I can't find where its equalizer might be. If anyone knows how to access Media Player's equalizer, or if anyone knows of new Winamp scripts that may work with this, please let me know. Thanks.

Re: Sound On Sound recording in GoldWave
Hi Again: the sound on sound method works. I played a backing file, mp3, and then recorded into the microphone and saved the new file. It had the vocal over the music backing track and everything seems good. This means that you can create defacto multi-track recordings but of course not edit individual tracks once a new version is completed. It also means that you should be able to record skype conversations the same way. Hope this experiment will help answer a couple of questions I saw in the past couple of days about an easy way to record using the speaker output and a microphone. Rick Farmington Mich.

absolutely. I use it all the time. I play prerecorded request on air while I record the whole thing. All in one window of goldwave, just using the magic control + tab. Same with vocals and music.

You must request it, but the cassette is free. I know C Crane sells Sangean products. I don't believe they offer the other brands you mention here, and they certainly don't promote them the way they do Sangean. The man who does these cassettes does an excellent job, and I'm sorry that his name escapes me as I write. Since you rightly bring up price, it is worth subscribing to C Crane's email notifications because they have periodic sales and also sell what they call "orphans" at a discount. No, I'm not an employee. I'm just a very satisfied customer. Sadly for me, no shortwave radio works well here in my section of Brooklyn.

Re: Sound On Sound recording in GoldWave
yes, this will work if you have stereo mix or what you hear. the shortcut for mix is control m. the mix also has a feature that will allow you to raise or lower the volume of the file being mixed into the foundation track. - Original Message - From: "RicksPlace" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 4:14 AM Subject: Sound On Sound recording in GoldWave Hi: There seems much interest in multi-track recording. To avoid the hassle of the complex multi-track recorders it might be possible to just use GoldWave. The technique is one we use to use with old Reel to Reel recorders. Play the backing sound and record at the same time. Here is an article on how to record vocals while listening to another music file, a backing track in my case. I will be trying it out either today or tomorrow. I need to have someone plug in the mic and be around for sighted help if I get stuck. If you try it or have tried it could you let me know? BeginArticle: How do I record vocals over background music or record and play at the same time? To record and play at the same time, such as playing music and recording vocals, you need to use two files as follows: 1. Open the music file. 2. Create a new file for recording the vocals with a length at least a few second longer than the music file. 3. Select the correct recording source . If your sound card has a "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" or similar source that records whatever you hear on your computer speakers/headphones, select that source. That will allow you to record both the music and the vocals at the same time. If not, select the microphone source for the vocals. Tip: Use headphones to prevent echo and feedback caused by the microphone picking up output from speakers. 4. Start recording by clicking the red button (or press Ctrl+F9). 5. Click the mouse on the window containing the music and start playback (press F4). You are now playing and recording at the same time. 6. If your sound card had a "Stereo Mix" source, you are done. The window used for recording should contain a mix of both. 7. If you used the microphone recording source, you will need to copy the music and mix it with the recording after recording is finished, as explained in the next few steps. 8. Use Edit | Copy to copy the music. 9. Click on the window containing the recording, then use Edit | Mix. 10. Adjust the start time and use the preview button to align the audio. 11. Choose OK to mix the music. EndArticle: Note that I dfind Media Player to sound a little nicer so I will try playing the backing file in media player, opening a new recording file and using the output from Media Player, through the speakers, and use the input from the mic to record my guitar over the backing track playing in Media Player. Again, if you have tried this please let me know so I can either go or not go getting sighted help to try it out and see if there is anything that does not speak properly using Windoweyes.

MP4 Clarification please.
Am I correct in thinking that if I were to download a movie from iTunes, it would be in MP4? If I were to put my videos or DVDs of home made or professional make on to computer, is it the function of the video capture device and its software, to convert these signals into MP4? When my video TV tuner card records a program I'm watching and puts it in Windows Media Center, how do I find out, if it is in MP4? Many thanks to whom ever can answer my questions!

Winamp won't respond to any commands, and I'm sure this is because there are no Jaws scripts to support this version of Windows. It plays but you can no longer set equalizer or use commands like control shift T, etc. So naturally the sound has a flat effect, and actually my sighted daughter couldn't make the equalizer work either. So Winamp may not be able to be fully used with these 64 bit computers. So for now I'd be willing to go back to Media Player, but its menus are confusing and I can't find where its equalizer might be. If anyone knows how to access Media Player's equalizer, or if anyone knows of new Winamp scripts that may work with this, please let me know. Thanks.

Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's
Hi folks, I'm working with both Winamp and Windows Media Player, and though neither program is perfect, I'm finding that Winamp seems to Excel a bit when it comes to identifying compact discs inserted into the computer. Is this based upon the databases accessed by the two applications? Is there a way to enhance Windows Media to be more productive in this regard? I use WMP to rip discs, and would like it to automatically identify the artist/title being ripped. On perhaps a dozen occasions over the past week, Winamp correctly labels the album, but WMP cannot do so. I have WMP set to go on-line and retrieve additional details. Are there other settings I can tweak for closer to ideal results? Scott To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Recording Audio
not being much of an audassity user I will boldly say this: Audassity has come a long way and I highly recommend it for people who need to use multi-track recordings. Not copying and pasting a sound or two together like radio promos or some such. For ppl who like presets you won't find many in audassity they have lots of effect plugins you just have to work with it a bit. Really I'd say for the 50 bucks or whatever gwave is worth it. The developer looks out for us. Not to say that audassity doesn't, they have taken tremendous steps for us also. Just putting in my 4 cents.

Re: Recording Audio
Hi: Audacity is a mult-track recorder. You have seperat files for each track, guitar, avoice, drums etc... you can record each seperatly and edit each seperatly. Then you can save them all as one file. Goldwave only works on one file. You might have a standard mp3 audio file you can edit but you can not edit the individual tracks that made up the file originally - only the whole combined mp3 file. Goldwave is easier to use me thinks and is accessible with Windoweyes out of the box, at least the key shortcuts I use work. I am not at all sure about Audacity since I have not tried it.

Re: Sound On Sound recording in GoldWave
I found another problem. I am using the RealTek onboard card on this machine. Evidently it will not allow the mic and the Sterio Mix to be set. The sliders are not there no matter what you do as far as I can tell. I read a blurb from RealTek saying something to the effect that they do not allow for setting these inputs independently. The mic volume is just too low even though the Sound on Sound technique works - sigh it's always something. So, I might see what I have on my other computer. I think I am running an older Sound Blaster and perhaps I can get that puppy running so I can set the Mix and mic volumes independently. I am guessing that no matter what I try I will not be able to set these independently on this machine since it is the sound card that will not allow this. Perhaps something like Total Recorder with it's use of a software interface but I am not at all sure about that either. Oh well, it is what it is I guess. At least it works and that is a start.

To avoid the hassle of the complex multi-track recorders it might be possible to just use GoldWave. The technique is one we use to use with old Reel to Reel recorders. Play the backing sound and record at the same time. Here is an article on how to record vocals while listening to another music file, a backing track in my case. I will be trying it out either today or tomorrow. I need to have someone plug in the mic and be around for sighted help if I get stuck. If you try it or have tried it could you let me know? BeginArticle: How do I record vocals over background music or record and play at the same time? To record and play at the same time, such as playing music and recording vocals, you need to use two files as follows: 1. Open the music file. 2. Create a new file for recording the vocals with a length at least a few second longer than the music file. 3. Select the correct recording source . If your sound card has a "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" or similar source that records whatever you hear on your computer speakers/headphones, select that source. That will allow you to record both the music and the vocals at the same time. If not, select the microphone source for the vocals. Tip: Use headphones to prevent echo and feedback caused by the microphone picking up output from speakers. 4. Start recording by clicking the red button (or press Ctrl+F9). 5. Click the mouse on the window containing the music and start playback (press F4). You are now playing and recording at the same time. 6. If your sound card had a "Stereo Mix" source, you are done. The window used for recording should contain a mix of both. 7. If you used the microphone recording source, you will need to copy the music and mix it with the recording after recording is finished, as explained in the next few steps. 8. Use Edit | Copy to copy the music. 9. Click on the window containing the recording, then use Edit | Mix. 10. Adjust the start time and use the preview button to align the audio. 11.

You have seperat files for each track, guitar, avoice, drums etc... you can record each seperatly and edit each seperatly. Then you can save them all as one file. Goldwave only works on one file. You might have a standard mp3 audio file you can edit but you can not edit the individual tracks that made up the file originally - only the whole combined mp3 file. Goldwave is easier to use me thinks and is accessible with Windoweyes out of the box, at least the key shortcuts I use work. I am not at all sure about Audacity since I have not tried it.

All that is necessary to do this is to select the right input device in the appropriate recording software's input/output settings. Of course the mixer, (M Audio Delta for the most part in my case) has to be set so that the output faders are right up, or nearly so. the other faders will control levels of line input/ as well as SPDIF, and line and digital outs of the Delta card. Much the same goes for the more humble and grotty on-board sound of my other computer, but Sound Studio (and goldwave) will record what's going through the sound card once the right input has been set. That's often the tricky part and where people often come unstuck. I agree whole heartedly though that goldWave and Total recorder are very good, the latter if you aren't going to do a lot of editing.

That means she should be able to record skype calls like that. Also, she would have to enable sterio mix and the microphone.

To record and play at the same time, such as playing music and recording vocals, you need to use two files as follows: 1. Open the music file. 2. Create a new file for recording the vocals with a length at least a few second longer than the music file. 3. Select the correct recording source . If your sound card has a "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" or similar source that records whatever you hear on your computer speakers/headphones, select that source. That will allow you to record both the music and the vocals at the same time. If not, select the microphone source for the vocals. Tip: Use headphones to prevent echo and feedback caused by the microphone picking up output from speakers. 4. Start recording by clicking the red button (or press Ctrl+F9). 5. Click the mouse on the window containing the music and start playback (press F4). You are now playing and recording at the same time. 6. If your sound card had a "Stereo Mix" source, you are done. The window used for recording should contain a mix of both. 7. If you used the microphone recording source, you will need to copy the music and mix it with the recording after recording is finished, as explained in the next few steps. 8. Use Edit | Copy to copy the music. 9. Click on the window containing the recording, then use Edit | Mix. 10. Adjust the start time and use the preview button to align the audio. 11. Choose OK to mix the music. EndArticle: Note that I dfind Media Player to sound a little nicer so I will try playing the backing file in media player, op

That means she should be able to record skype calls like that. Also, she would have to enable sterio mix and the microphone. Messing with the system RealTek card was new to me and is still sort of guesswork but I even somehow managed to get at the advanced settings and turn up my microphone volume for recording.

Ya, somehow I bumbled around and got it done. Even found an advanced button for the microphone. Now it is working perfectly well for sound on sound.

Re: shortwave radio
I really don't know why all the bother on this because there is hardly anything on the band right at the moment and a new standard of shortwave radio will arrive on the market in the coming year, the "DRM" standard will be used ensuring you'll hear shortwave as you've never heard it before, near CD quality in other words, no fading, no crackle etc. Now it may be that some sets out there are already "DRM" compatible, I'm not aware of any at this time but that doesn't mean anything. I know Sony had plans to launch a "multi standard" set which Sony boasted at the time could "Receive any domestic broadcast on any band in the world?" Well we'll wait and see on that one, obviously such a set would be adapted to suit each country's different DAB standards for example but such a set isn't beyond the realms of a cheap price given the power of the processor chip these days. Let's face it, the "shortwave" as we knew it is a definite and obvious listening medium of the past for better or for worse. Yes, I mourn its passing and we're going to regret the day that it ever died I think, if a country for one reason or another decides to shoot down a communications satellite? Well that could take out a whole heap of stuff including radio and TV broadcasts, cell phone communications etc so it will be interesting to see how fire, police and so forth could get emergency messages out to the public and son on.

RE: MP4 Clarification please.
I think iTunes uses MP4 files for their video files, but I'm not sure. MP4 isn't the only video file format out there, so depending on the software you're using, it could be saving the video files in MPG, AVI, WMV, One way to check the file format is to go into Windows Explorer and check the file type or the file extension. You'll have to go into Tools -> Folder Options and go into the view tab to make sure that the option for Hide extensions for known file types is off. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Victoria Vaughan Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 9:13 AM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: MP4 Clarification please. Am I correct in thinking that if I were to download a movie from iTunes, it would be in MP4? If I were to put my videos or DVDs of home made or professional make on to computer, is it the function of the video capture device and its software, to convert these signals into MP4? When my video TV tuner card records a program I'm watching and puts it in Windows Media Center, how do I find out, if it is in MP4? Many thanks to whom ever can answer my questions!
