There's a CD player in Lori ( my lorry).



I have a replacement unit with other connections, but digging into the dashboard is a major event.

Step one: Remove the steering wheel.

I'm only exaggerating a little.

Post back how well it worked. This is a common problem and it would be good to have a posted solution.

Live recording is a real joy, isn't it? Orchestra and band recordings run into similar problems.

"Suddenly, For No Reason," problems can mean you ran out of something. The video people get this, usually in the middle of a big show. When you get the machine back, Apple (upper left) > Shutdown... > Shutdown. Wait for it to clean up the broken bits and the spinning daisy to go away. Star...

now that the Sony CD-R Data ones are discontinued. I think the manufacturing plant was discontinued. Wasn't it in the path of the Fukushima disaster? I was a Sony user. Not that long ago I supplied a music CD to a server at a local restaurant. I wondered how he was playing them. He pointed at his p...

Oh, and you're not just outside the ACX requirements. Comfortable submission noise values hover in the -65dB range and yours comes in at -53dB. That's 12dB difference. Sound goes half or double every 6dB. So you should reduce your noise volume by half...twice. I shot a sound test with a little Zoom ...

Isn't this where the burner has "an accident" and until you get it fixed, you'll post the work on the church's web page.

It should look even about like this. This is what electronic noise looks like. Screen Shot 2019-11-11 at 13.58.08.pn...

-53 and -54. What does it sound like? Gentle rain in the trees shshshshshshsh, or is there some other sounds in there? Can you hear your computer fans? Try the test recording again and stop it at 10 seconds. Since you're this close, a simple change may let you use more gentle noise reduction. 9, 6,...

If you decide on something, run it by here before you write the check.

I don't know that there is a computer maker preference. I've used both and the Macs think like I do, so converting from Windows was no effort. What are you using now, what is your comfort? Get an SSD. You may have less and less choice over this. They're very stable, fast as can be and have none of t...
