Same experience with JAWS. I guess it's because EAC is using 100% CPU and thus makes JAWS/Window-Eyes extremely sluggish. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tim Crawford (GI4OPH) Sent: 6. august 2012 23:57 To: 'PC Au

We're talking a TV toner right? I hear that the WMC set up is best done by some one sighted. But the actual use, it's fine. As for the card it self, I can't comment not really having used one, and not knowing what brand you are looking at. The sound depends on how good the speakers are and it shoul

If we're talking TV Tuner cards, they're no harder to install than any other cards plus there are USB options, which are even easier to install. On 08/07/2012 07:42 AM, HHamit Campos wrote: We're talking a TV toner right? I hear that the WMC set up is best done by some one sighted. But the actu

My computer isn't super fast but it chugs a long at a pretty good pace. However, sometimes when I am ripping or burning a cd it happens to me as well, no matter what burning program I'm using. Maybe having a hardware speech synth would fix this? That's a rarety these days... bb - Original

Because processing audio can command a lot from a computer, I have a second computer to perform tasks such as CD ripping, audio recording, audio editing, format conversions and stream capturing. I have had this second computer setup since 2006 and it has been well worth the investment. Kelly

I'm curious. How many processors does each person have? A dual core processor would run a bit slower in general (although it may not be noticeable) but would handle audio processing tasks better. A single core system would definitely seem sluggish when doing a lot of audio processing. I know when I

Well, that blows my theory. I think memory is also a key factor, especially with Windows XP systems. I had a significantly noticeable performance improvement when I bumped my system up to 4G from 2G. I think the combination of what I was running, Windows XP, JAWS, Switch, SoundTaxi and so on was r

Hi, The current PC here has a Intel i5 2500k cpu, with 8gb of ram. During extraction or ripping with eac, I've found exactly the same delay in speech as my old Pentium 4, and even the ancient win 98 machine which preceded it. This delayed response in speech output seems only to occur when extra

Gain versus Normalization of MP3's

2012-08-07 Thread Rich De Steno
What is the difference between the effect of running MP3 files through the program MP3 Gain or normalizing them with MP3 Direct Cut? My impression is that the normalized files all sound about the same volume, while the MP3 gain processed files have clearly different volumes. What are the rela
