Reading current volume status in goldwave

2010-07-22 Thread Mario Percinic
Hello there. Just a small question for goldwave users. How can i read current 
status of the volume of the file or part of the file in goldwave, so that i can 
make all the parts of the file to be equal?
Using jfw and nvda as screen readers.
Thanks for all the answers.

sound forge 5 and later.

2010-07-22 Thread Joe Paton

Hi,


I seem to recall that their was a sound forge audio processing 
setting called concatenate.


I can't find it, can some body tell me where it is, or is it a 
figment of my wild imagination?


Thanks.

Joe

Re: Olympis Digital Recorders

2010-07-22 Thread Joe Paton

Hi,
you want a high noise floor, try the edirol r-9.

Never heard a noise floor to worry me with the olympus, other 
recording anomalies, but not the noise floor.
Maybe I'm going hard of hearing, hang on though, I heard the noise 
floor on the edirol.
I'm not saying that it's not their, just that I haven't had it 
interfere with my recordings.

File Conversion Question

2010-07-22 Thread Steve Matzura
I have a sample library that consists of a lot of .AIF and .AIFF files
(which I am assuming are the same) but which I wish turned into .WAV
format.  Firstly, is this a good or bad idea?  The reason I want to
convert them is so I can listen to all the AIF's in the same player as
I use for all the WAV's, namely, Winamp for auditioning purposes.
Second, unless the AIF's and AIFF's are not lossless, what, if
anything, is the advantage of keeping them in their original format?

Thanks in advance as always.

How do I get the line in on my USB sound card under Windows 7 64 bit to shut up?

2010-07-22 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

 

I got this really nice USB sound card for my new laptop which has Windows 7
64 bit and JAWS 11 installed on it.  I had a tech at the computer store
where I purchased the sound card configure it for me.  I was able to get
JAWS to speak through the PC sound card and have my other sounds go through
the USB sound card.  I'm pretty happy so far, but I have run into a problem
that is somewhat of a nuisance.  I plugged in my XM PCR into the line in
jack of the USB card, and it works fine.  The trouble is I don't know how to
mute the line in when I'm wanting to hear other things like music with
Winamp.  I've used Windows XP, and all I did was go into the volume control
and mute the line in option.  I can't find this in Windows 7.  HELP!!!

 

Thanjks in advance for the info.

 

GO REDS!

Fw: [The Conduit] Fw: Accessible Devices American Printing House 2010Demo Disc InfectedWith Virus

2010Demo Disc InfectedWith Virus



We believe that since many of you may have this disc this needed to be
brought to your attention.
Discard APH Demo Disc 2010 Immediately
We regret to report that The APH Demo Disc 2010 contains a virus. The APH
Demo Disc is a CD-ROM that contains catalogs and demonstration software. The
affected disc has a light blue background and says ©2010. The braille label
on the
sleeve is also dated 2010. If you received this disc by mail or picked it up
at the
recent ACB, NFB, or NEA conferences, PLEASE DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY.
Detailed Information about Virus
The name of the virus is Win32/Prolaco.
Fortunately, your computer will not be infected with this virus immediately
upon
inserting the APH Demo Disc 2010. The only way to infect your system is to
click the demo software link on the Demo Disc startup screen, and then click
the link to install the demo of Verbal View of Windows XP. The only file on
the disc affected by the virus is the Verbal View of Windows XP demo.
If you attempt to install the Verbal View of Windows XP demo, and you have
up-to-date virus software installed, you should be warned about the presence
of the virus immediately.
Please Take the Following Steps
1. Discard the APH Demo Disc 2010.
2. Completely scan your system with up-to-date virus detection software. One
antivirus program that detects Win32/Prolaco with a general scan is the
Microsoft Security Essentials. This antivirus software is both free and
accessible.
You may obtain more information about safe computer practices, virus
detection, and download Microsoft Security Essentials at
www.microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx
.
3. If you do inadvertently run the Verbal View of Windows XP .exe file and
you do not have virus detection software running, this virus will spread
itself multiple ways, including via email messages with infected
attachments, downloading software that may appear to be real programs,
and by turning off security settings on your Windows machine.
If your machine has been infected, update your antivirus software and then
run it again to remove the infection.
Replacing the APH Demo Disc 2010
APH will create a new 2010 Demo Disc and label it clearly in both print and
braille. We will distribute this clean disc later in the summer.
About APH Antivirus Procedures
Note that APH always virus scans the discs it produces, as was the case with
the 2010 Demo Disc, but some virus detection software does not detect the
Win32/Prolaco virus during a general scan. Fortunately, antivirus software
will detect this virus if you attempt to install the infected program Verbal
View of Windows XP.
Due to this issue, we are reviewing our antivirus procedures.
Our Sincere Apologies
We regret any inconvenience this infected disc may have caused. At APH, we
care about our customers and we will be happy to work with you further to
resolve any issues concerning this virus.
Please contact
c...@aph.org
if you have questions.
Sincerely,
The Staff of APH

Ah how neat is that!

Thank Goodness I use a Mac  but probably more relivant is the fact that 
my anti virus software on my computer - whether that be Mac or Windows - should 
have picked this up , seriously though there's no excuse for that sort 
of thing from happening in the first place.

RE: File Conversion Question

2010-07-22 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Using Bing to search for "aif file extension", I see that AIF is an
uncompressed file format. I don't have any experience converting from one
lossless file format to another, but I wouldn't think you'd get too many
artifacts introduced, if any, and of course, WAV files would be more
universal, so I'd give it a shot. Of course, converting them to a compressed
file format like MP3 would be just as universal and would save you some
space at the cost of some quality, which may or may not be noticeable. I did
see that Switch Audio Converter does support AIF and of course WAV and MP3.
You can read more about it at http://www.nch.com.au/switch/plus.html.
