Drews Sound

Dope station! Coming up on the week mark of the Flip. Positive Hip Hop For Denver!

I really believe in what they’re doing. Large music library, and only a hand full of these style stations on the FM, in the US!

Copy written and read back using the BTSpeak!With USBC earbuds in, of course. Good experience!

I used the Rode NT-4 into the H1-E for VO. (First time for everything), Much cleaner than I expected!!

All beds/beets used I wrote in Logic on the Mac. All FX and drops royalty free!

Spec imaging below:

In the mile high or not, Check out the stream! and #TurnUp if you dig todays hip hop sound with a positive message.

Overdubbed with the h1 about 10 times. Gives the tingles.

well, this cardboard box was way too much fun to drum on. 

Well, this has absuletly, nothing to do with sound, and most deffinitly, every thing to do with sight.

I walked out in the middle of the solar eclipse this afternoon. I could not feel the sun on my face, even though I was on a west facing patio.  It was cold, almost felt like night to me. I am not, in the path of the event, but it was interesting to at least enjoy the moment.

I Found an image of the eclipse and ran it through Be My A-I.

here is how artificial intelligence  describes, at least, one snapshot of the solar event.

a celestial scene with a crescent moon at the center. The moon is surrounded by a vibrant halo of blue and white light, giving the impression of a luminous eye in the sky. The rest of the image is filled with a mix of dark and light clouds, creating a moody and ethereal atmosphere. The clouds have hints of orange, pink, and green, which add a subtle warmth to the otherwise cool tones of the blue moonlight. The overall effect is both serene and mysterious.

The same as I’ve done for the BTSpeak basic model in the post below, this post contains bite-size chunks audio how to use for the pro. This page will be updated with more content coming soon.

introduction to Pro: Switching from tablet mode, to desktop mode.

an overview of Orca’s preferences window, how to switch from ESpeak to DecTalk.

navigating the desktop 

an introduction to File explorer on the desktop side 

an introduction to chromium web browsing.

thunderbird: adding an email account, creating and replying to emails, and more. 

all the sounds were created with a Coke bottle. Pretty fun experimentation.

been using this update for a couple of months strong now and everything seems to be fixed plus a couple of new features. these could easily sell for 20 bucks a pop, but like everything I do for the blindness community, it is free 🙂 really hope you get a lot of use out of them! I do on a daily basis.

Daily planner Scripts V1.2
Written by Drew Weber
March 2024.

These scripts are not for a specific Daily Planner application, but rather, they are a Daily Planner Mini application program written in the JAWS scripting
programming language.

These scripts focus on creating notes for a day in question, vs, focusing on a time and appointment as a calendar provides.

• Note. You may not use the Grave accent key within your notes. This is the key directly below the escape key as it is being used as a delimiter within
  programming.
• You should expect to hear a click after the main month settings file is updated. this will let you know that writing has completed and you may then Toggle
  off Daily planner with Control+alt+P. You will also hear a click when toggling off the Daily Planner after JAWS lets you know it is inactive. This lets
  us know that the planner has fully exited.

Keystrokes:

• Toggle on/off with control+alt+p.

When active, you will hear a chime every 2 minutes to remind you that Daily planner is active.

• Control+alt+w: Set day of week You will enter the weekday number associated with the first day of the month.

For example.

If Sunday is Day 1, and Saturday is day 7 and the month of February begins on a Thursday, you will enter the number 5.

Each time a new month starts you will need to press control+alt+w and retake this step.

• Control+alt+left: move back day
• Control+alt+right: move forward day
• Control+alt+up: move back month.
• Control+alt+down: move forward month
• Control+alt+rightShift: create new note.

Edit mode:

• Control+Alt+shift+right arrow: move forward, select, and read individual note on a day.
• Control+Alt+shift+Left: move backward, Select, and read individual note on a day.
• After selecting:
• Control+Alt+E: Edit currently selected note. Pops up in the same style dialogue that you originally composed the note in.
• Control+Alt+D: Delete currently selected note.

Viewing Entered Planner Information:

Control+alt+end: review notes for day.

Note review pops up in virtual viewer so may select/copy.

• Control+alt+M: review entire month in viewer.

You first must select a month.

Month review pops up in virtual viewer so may select/copy.

• To quickly export a month to clipboard: First select a month, and then press Control+Shift+Alt+M.

Launch Notepad and paste. Notes are organized in order month/day.

Installation

Press control+end again. You may then paste the script from the DefaultDotJSS.txt text file. If you are in the User Default file, press control+end, paste the script.

Restart JAWS. You may now use your new scripts! Download is below.

Reading, navigating, and searching through the file. I can’t say I’ve seen this before with this type of speed on windows.

So the ability to record this song so easily really confirms to me that I purchased the right Zoom Essential recorder for me. Below, are two different audios. The first, will be the Overdubs, just as they came out of the Zoom. This one, is not the entire song, but is just to compare to the second audio which is the full mix of the song.

The second audio, is a mix of the song, just how I would normally be able to do this. I was able to grab the individual stems, from the overdubs, so yes, the below is mixed from the same recordings. Let me explain.

When yu overdub with the H1E, what you do is, record your first dub, then as you overdub a second take, the first dub plays back, and in the second recording, is both the playback from recording one, and the new information that you have dubbed in. When you dub the third take, you have takes, 1,2, and 3, together. So what you can do is put say, tracks, 2, and three into Reaper, flip the faze on track three, and you are only left with track 2. You can put tracks 1 and 2 into Reaper, flip faze of track 1, and you are left with track 2. So, you are able to grab each of the stems.

I was able to, as I said above, completely mix the track as I normally would, EQ-ing each of the tracks, compression limiting, autotune on vocs. And you know what? The quality is as good as I would get going through any of my interfaces. This to me is amazing! This little H1-E really stands up as a mighty recorder when used in this way. Audio of full track below mixed.
