Re: Sound Editors for Windows

2010-12-11 Thread Dane Trethowan
I really don't know what spoken word has to do with anything much, the question 
was about a sound editor and that should be able to handle exactly that, 
"Sound!".

This brings up an interesting point, Sound Forge have a version called Sound 
Forge Audio Studio, that's the basic version of Sound Forge which used to be 
know as Sound Forge Express so I wonder if the developers of Audio Studio 
Recorder may consider changing the name to avoid possible confusion? .

 To:  whats on what...@theglobalvoice.info

On this week's Innovations, we start off with our usual brief look at
technology in Technobits.

We follow that with a review of the Zoom H1 digital recorder by Jörgen
Hansson.

After that Fi Dunn gives us a practical demonstration of using the ovi maps
from Nokia with Mobile Speak from Code Factory.  Unfortunately due to this
being a live demo, there is quite a bit of background noise but the piece
gives a flavour of working with Mobile Speak and the maps in a practical
way.  For more information, go to;

Finally more styles on the Tyros 3 with Chrissie Cochrane.

net speed question?

2010-12-11 Thread john schwery
My wife and I are Steelers fans.  When she is 
watching the game on TV, and I bring in the radio 
broadcast on a radio station on the net, I am 
about a play behind the TV.  Our net speed is 3 
megs a second.  If we bump up the speed to 6 megs 
a second, would that bring me even with the TV?

One thing I do appreciate about the Goldwave and Total Recorder packages are 
the amount of support users can access, in the case of Total Recorder you can 
go on to their web site and read primers and tutorials covering all the topics 
you've mentioned.  In the case of Goldwave an extensive manual that covers just 
about everything you can think of to do with audio recording and editing is 
available to the user at the touch of a button, it loads into your web browser 
so and is well marked with links to all sections.

Re: Sound Editors for Windows

2010-12-11 Thread Matthew Chao
Hi, Tim!  Thanks for the tip.  Will use something other than the one 
yu mentioned.  I have GoldWave and Sound Forge; have to learn them 
from scratch,  as I haven't used them in a while.


Also, decided to get the Sony PCM-M10, as it's likely to meet my 
needs for a while, and it's a recorder I can grow into as my skills 
working with sound improve.


Would really like to take it on the go, skiing, sailing, etc., so 
others get a "soundscape" of my world.--Matt.

Turn your Mac into a dictation machine

2010-12-11 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

Found an article in the Age Green Guide on Thursday which talks about turning 
your Mac into a high quality dictation machine complete with foot pedal.

Why use this? Well the fact is - if you believe the article - a lot of people 
still record lectures or notes and prefer to transcribe them to be printed out 
later on paper etc.

So taking the articles assumptions for granted you need a system on your Mac to 
facilitate this, a Word processing package is obvious but then you need a foot 
pedal and some software to manipulate your audio recordings.

The article details where the new wireless foot pedal and the Express Scribe 
software can be obtained as well as other audio tools you may need.

Search for Garry Barkers Macman on the web or email me privately if you can't 
find it.

Sound Forge 7 upgrade to 10 pro

to get one system running Win7 soon.  Sony has a special on now so I would like 
to decide soon.



Thanks.



I know there may be some pros but I'm more interested in the cons, especially

Re: Sound Forge 7 upgrade to 10 pro

2010-12-11 Thread Matthew Bullis
   Hello, especially if you're running SF with Jim's extra scripts for 
Jaws, you'll still be enjoying great functionality. I believe that version 8 
was the first one to introduce the shuttle controls, which run the audio 
file at a faster speed, which is different from Jim's scrubbing function. I 
use the SF function extensively, most when I'm near a point I want to mark, 
and I want to move back half a second and stop. I use the audio itself to 
gauge this. Anyhow, there are many features which have been added since 
Sound Forge version seven, but I just can't remember all of them. I've been 
a user of SF since version 4.5. I believe I even heard of another user who 
has been using version 6 on Windows 7, so you may decide to stay at that 
version. I'd personally upgrade to be current though, if you can manage it.

RE: USB headphones

2010-12-11 Thread Milton Ota
You should be able to plug the USB Headphone into any USB port on your
computer and if it doesn't play sound through the earpiece, open the Volume
Control and ctrl-tab twice and you should be in a list of sound devices.
Arrow to the one the  sounds should play through the headset.
 
The other way is just reboot the computer and it should detect your USB
headset and begin playing through the headphone.
