    Still Looking For
    Shn player software for Mac ! And I will send a DVD to the person, who will introduce me to a software that really does play shn files on a Mac. So please fire away. When I will be able to listen to shn files, I will send a PM to the first, who told me about it, and talk/write about the promised DVDs content. andré

    Eric, For trying to help a fellow mac user, you are awarded the Search better than andré Engine Drivers Award. No matter iSoundFile does not handle shn files. thanks, andré

    OK well for a fellow mac user, I went onto Version Tracker and found a program called iSoundFile 0.5 It says it will do Flac files but I cant tell about Shn(s). The reviews are mixed. Let me know if you have any luck. Eric

    Shn player software for Mac
    Is there a software that can play shn files on an iMac ? Internet search said PureMusic Audio Player is the tool. But none of all the sites,who offered Free Download, had it. Felt like the MacPolice has taken action ... So the question is, whether there is a software to do this job or not. And all answers are appreciated. Thanks, andré

    Shn/flac stuff
    Thanks Greg Younggun ! As I wrote above, Shorten does more of the job, than xACT. And as there is so much stuff do download, I decided not to care about the No Magic Number thing. Also because my iMac's disc drive does not work anymore. And that's a big one. But well, peace & music, andré

    Shn/ flac stuff
    Hi André, For converting Shn to audio I use mkw audio compression tool: http://www.etree.org/mkw.html It's a simple drag drop process. For flac I use Flac frontend: http://flac.sourceforge.net/ Again, a simple drag drop process. To play on PC, I use the Foobar2000 amp: http://www.foobar2000.org/ Simply open the files you want to play: flac, shn, wav, mp3 and others. You might like to google for 'Traders Little Helper' - it does lots, and lots, and lots, but I haven't been there yet. All the best, Greg PS Belated happy birthday - you are 6 days my elder :-)

    kinda solved it ...
    I downloaded shorten from etree. This program decoded most of the shn files ... some did not work, because of "No Magic Number". And I guess I don't know enough, either about magic, nor numbers, to understand it, but I will let etree know that GD 1974-07-21 has none of them. Enjoy the weekend ! andré

    xACT and Mac
    Thanks for your reply, Eric ! the procedure I do, is a bit different, regarding which keys I use to transport files into xACT (click/highlight the first, scroll down to the last, then press the .... button for writing capital letters and click on the last file I want to be added. Then they are all highlighted and I press "add files". You might try it this way, sounds faster than the way you desribe. And xACT starts to decode). But then, right after xACT is "finished" with decoding shn files, I get this error message, listing each file it could not decode, because there is "no silence to trim from either end". So I still don't know how to handle this shn decoding error. Over the last two weeks this has never happened with flac files, although lots of them also have tracks, that follow each other with no "silence" in between. Maybe my xACT program (free download) is a bad one. But maybe someone here has had the same problem and knows the way to make my xACT stop bucking around. andré

    xACT and Mac
    Hey Andre - I have Xact on my iBook which I use for all my music transfers. I have never had any errors of the kind you have mentioned. Im sorry you have had trouble with it. It seems very straight forward and easy from my usage. I open up the file(i.e.) show and hold down the apple key while single clicking on every shn or flac file (which highlights the title) and then double click on the last file.(which animates the xact monky icon) It automaticly loads into xact. In xact I make sure it is set to transpose to wav and then I tell it where to send the wav file (i send it back into the folder with the flac/shn) I then take the wav files and highlight them like I did with the flac/shn files and the last file will animate my iTunes and xfr the wave file there for burning or changing to mp3 for my ipod... Hope that helps... Eric

    Trouble with shn
    To decode I use xACT. Because it is in English I am not really happy with it. To me it is hard to understand technical English. But as far as my search results took me, there is no German program to do the job. On the other hand I only needed a little trial and error to work flac files with just a few mouse clicks. Decoding shn files for the first time I got an error message for each file, stating that it "has no silence to trim from either end". I "solved" this by adding and decoding one file after the other. Yesterday I tried to decode some shn for the second time. Same error for most of the files. And this time one by one did not help. Neither any of the other options I tried, because the program allowed me to click/choose them. Any help, that really helps, is appreciated. Maybe someone knows a jamband and also (German) user friendly program, working on an iMac. andré

Hey folks, I have been looking to buy a new microphone or two to record live shows as well as my band rehearsals. I've look at the Rode NT 4 as a stereo mic and think it looks like a pretty decent mic. Just wondering what people are recording with, Mics, recorders, video recorders, etc.? Thanks Zel

Have you tried osmosis?

-edit- It's where you set the tape ON the computer. Then, turn on the computer and look it up on youtube.

By the way, what tapes are they? ;-)

What type digital files are you interested in, what resolution (word length and sample rate) are you looking to have files made ? I could make most formats for you, from MP3 to 24 bit/ 192 KHz or if you have an outboard DAC I can create up to 2x DSD which is 1 bit/5.6 MHz .

Hi there
I am looking for recommendations for a low cost quality recording set up. will mostly be recording a community concert band. would like to be able to use micro SD cards.

Hi there!

For a low-cost, quality setup to record a community concert band, I’d recommend looking into the Zoom H4n Pro or Tascam DR-40X portable recorders. Both offer excellent sound quality, built-in stereo mics, and support for micro SD cards. They’re compact, easy to use, and great for live recordings. Pair it with a good tripod or mic stand to position it optimally in the recording space.
