I am trying to put a web-site together using, admitedly, an old programme. When I try to embedd a sound file, it produces an error saying that there is a problem converting the wav into au. My thought was if I could convert a source before importing the file into the web builder, it should work. Or...

Squeaks and squawks all over the place. I'll persevere with it though, if only 'cos I'm as wode...

It's not 'free', but then nothing worthwhile ever really is. Really, now. Have you ever considered the air you breathe worth anything? How much do you pay for each breath? The free versions of Linux work much better on native filesystems than the Microsoft filesystems. Besides, why would you want t...

Cheers, Grumpy ;) :lol: I shall compare my Faedog with my O'Briain in approximately 60 minutes... And then decide which of the 7 dwarves I shall be...Grumpy, Happy, or Dopey...! Happy. The O'Briain improved sounds markedly sweeter than my 'original' Faedog. Volume is better 'balanced' across the oc...

Lindows.

You can either run it from CD (LindowsCD version) or do a full install.
It's Debian-based and runs sweet as a nut.

And you don't need to know anything about linux or command-line geeknerd stuff.

I think it depends on what you want to record... if you're just recording yourself practicing, then something like a Sennheiser stereo mic (like those used by camcorder enthusiasts) are plenty good enough. For live performances though you need a quality mic. Back in my old R&B days, we had a gre...

I've just taken delivery of an O'Briain's Improved D...haven't had the chance to play it yet (stuck in a crowded office where they don't take kindly to such things). At first glance it looks...well, like stuff's been glued here and there... However, in about 3 hours I shall be playing it. Anyway, my...

Back in my old comms tech. days, my morse code instructor frequently had to remind us of the Golden Rule: "Never send faster than you can receive." It was a great rule. Because once you learned the code, it was easy to bang out messages at 30 words-a-minute plus... Trouble was, the gadger ...
