wav vs aif

2013-10-29 Thread Peter Tighe
Do you all have any preferences for the sound quality of aif files vs wav? I am using itunes to create CDS and I think I hear a difference between files converted or ripped from a commercial cd whether they are converted into wav or aif formats. Reading on the internet, I find that the conventi

I have just changed from a 32 bit version of Windows 7 to a 64 bit version. My old sound card seems to lock up my mother board! I always liked sound blaster audigy sound cards. My old card doesn't work. What Can I use which is similar to the audigy card. I can accept all kinds of enhancements a

Re: Any way to record audio of a internet stream without using myPC's sound card?

2012-05-18 Thread Peter Tighe
I am afraid that may only be true for Windows XP. The total recorder driver that allows for recording a stream without the sound card will not work in Windows 7. I tried to force it onto my computer and it brought the computer to its knees! Peter ---

Re: Blocking out screen reader when recording with total recorder?

2011-03-10 Thread Peter Tighe
I don't think it is possible to block out speech in total recorder starting in Windows vista. I certainly haven't been able to do it in windows 7. The old interface which allowed for this in the past will not install in windows 7. My solution was a little complicated. I am a Jaws user so I can
