AlChuck is right - and with a brilliant analogy :D. While there is no decent way of doing it, it can be half done using a whole bucketload of notch EQ's, and just chop the specific freq's out until you've got some thing resembling what you want. It ain't even close to perfect, but with a bnit...

Winamp will also do it if you change the output to be the NullSoft DiskWriter instead of the NullSoft waveOut plug-in. (Under Preferences -> Plug-Ins -> Output). I used this approach cos I had issues with the ASPI drivers for WinNT and Audiograbber(yes, I had the latest ones etc. etc.) but...

I was going to jump back into this thread a while ago when everybody was bitching about Courtney, but we all seemed to have moved on from there. I can name Courtney's band, and a couple of the songs that have received airplay here, but that's about it. I wasn't putting here up as an example of...

The stereo mic that virtual.ray is talking about is pretty cool (for a mic that size). Don't know how much they cost - seen them for 90 pounds in the UK (okay, it was a Sony shop), and I bought mine for about $100AUS in Singapore (which is heaps cheaper than 90 quid) Either way, they are pretty...

Spider, option number two is Win2000, especially given that Service Pack 1 is about to be released. While I haven't had much exposure to Win2000, apparently its pretty stable, more so than NT in many cases. Win98 is the poor mans cousin - avoid it if possible cos it's not that stable, and you...

I was going to be a smug little Melbourne lad and say move to a real city where we have studios :D, but why not try some of the smaller ones in Perth. I don't know what the scene is like over there - perhaps Cooperman has a better idea than me seeing as he lives there - but there are heaps of...

Get a product like PartitionMagic or something similar. It creates bootable partitions pretty easily, and would let you create a second partition for recording without toasting the OS already setup on your machine. It's pretty easy to use (although that isn't strictly true when using it under...

As usual, Ed is right, as well as being first with the answer, but I thought I might add a little bit myself. Ignoring the numbers, the reason a balanced line is better, and the reason it is called a balanced line in the first place is simple, and once you understand it, pretty obvious. There...

Spider, try the School of Audio Engineering. They are an Australian-based outfit (although apparently they have schools all over the place). I don't know a hell of a lot about them - I considered going there once just out of interest. Anyway, their web-site is at www.saecollege.edu.au , or...

I reckon that's a pretty fair description of a pro soundcard requirements, Ed. Thanks. I guess it's kind of what I assumed, that the market sort of divides as you get further up the ladder, into the turnkey and individual soundcard segments. All I need now is a rack of Apogee gear. :) (In my...

Ok, Here's the deal. I've got a mate in the US at the moment (apparently, if he wasn't so pissed as to have slept in, he was catching a train this morning to New Orleans from California somewhere), and I was thinking about getting him to buy me a decent soundcard. So, what I need to know is...

I was just thinking about this in relation to video editing on machines. In that arena (and I'm not an expert, so it's entirely possible I'm speaking through my arse here), there seems to be cheap $100 cards (consumer), cards around the $500-$3000 mark (prosumer), and the hardcore systems like...

Are you making electro-magnets? Sorry, couldn't quite picture what you were trying to acheive. - gaffa

Analog is probably the easiest, but I can't remember the name of the filter type that produces the phone sound. (High-pass filter?) Have a look at http://www.us-epanorama.net/audiocircuits.html for some ideas. And just plug "audio schematics" as a search criteria into Google. You get lots of...

Analog or digital electronics? - gaffa

Well, I don't know Ed - hence the question. Does the field consist of the consumer and prosumer cards only? - gaffa

It depends on how the audio is served up. If it comes from a file, click on the link to the RealAudio and select "Save Target As", and save the file somewhere. This will give you a 1K file called XXX.rm (or XXX.ra or XXX.ram = I can't remember which). Open that file in Notepad, and you'll find...

Ok, So consumer sound cards are ones like SoundBlasters etc, prosumer cards are things like the gadgetlabs, event, lynxone etc. So my question is - what are the professional cards? Do they exist, or are we talking about Apogee A/D converters etc? - gaffa

Dobro, at least you've GOT inserts on your mixer....some of us don't :( and that makes life interesting to say the least. - gaffa
