Drews Sound

Duuuude! it had been, such a long time sence I have shot hoops So fun .. and a cool binaural recording too!

Not saying it’s the best? deal? on Amazon? but, if you’ve got to have a cane now? It’ll work… Maybe. Audio unboxing below.

This post is showing using the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally 7” handheld xBox with JAWS, as a Windows PC for use with StationPlaylist, not actually gaming with the device. First audio is a quick overview of the device, and talking about how I’ve mappedits controler buttons:

The second audio is showing armory crate with JAWS. It’s a messy audio. I feel the app is busy, has a lot and I haven’t memmorised it yet.

The most interesting posts from 2025? You’ll find um here! So? what are we wating for! lets .. goooo!

Here’s, to another year of sounds! Thanks y’all so much for the love and support!!

I do a lot of songwriting in the shower, so, I, was in their yesterday and this chorus popped into my head! and I’m like, I got to get out and, Jot this down.

The Jot Down Voice Memo:

Rule of thumb for me is, if it’s still in my head the next day, I’ll do something with it. Well… It was still their today, so, I pulled out my Electric guitar, and played through the instrumental, what I felt Suno could interpret for a pop, Edm, Dub track. I put the slower I’ll call them clean chugs, in to teach Suno to use arpegio, and it worked.

Electric guitar that I through into Suno:

So I went through a couple of Suno’s takes until I found the one, wrote the rest of the Lyrics, recorded Vocals on the AI track, and through that, back into Suno, asking for Pop, Edm, Dubstep with Male and female vocs alternating on the vs, and got back? This.

That? is a fuckin jam.

Merry Christmas y’all! I’m coming at you from the in-laws! waaay out in the country! Dad, has an incredible model train set! with tunnels , that go through walls, painted seenry, and more I got as a gift, a train car, called, Roosters Jug Band. It’s got a Bluetooth speaker, built-in! Check out the description, and audio, Binaural, below!

Be My AI: Model train car with miniature figures, labeled “Roosters Traveling Jug Ban,” from the Lionel brand. The car is bright red and features various small figurines of people, seemingly musicians, some with hats and instruments, riding in the open section. The background has a painted countryside scene with fields, distant buildings, and mountains, suggesting a rural setting. The train is set on metal tracks. , 5:22 PM

I started using Airplay 2 after I got that Sony receiver last year. It took some time for the full benifit of the wireless streaming option to kick in mentally for me, but when they did, I rairly used Bluetooth, accept for private listening over Airpods.

Airplay 2, from iOS with Voiceover.

Just a couple years ago, we gained better control of our handsets Voiceover and media aueio over Bluetooth, being able to leave Voiceover volume over the handsets speaker, without it yelling or drasticly changing volume, however, with a Bluetooth destination connected, you can only change media volume with the volume buttons on the handset. Airplay 2, takes this a step further allowing you to change Voiceover volume when it is speaking, and media volume when it is not. Their is no odd pops over the handset speaker, and, you can also use Bluetooth for speach, if you first have your airpods connected, for example. You may also take and make phone and Facetime calls and the media over airplay doesn’t stop, or break up. It much feels like your not using your handset to play the media at all.

Multiroom:

If you have multiple Airplay receivers, such as the Wiim devices, you may play media to all the airplay 2 devices in your home, in multiple rooms. You also, can have your handset across the house and use a receiver, or speaker far away. As long as you have a good wifi signal, Airplay will go, where your phone does not.In my opinion, the audio is also better quality over Airplay 2, than Bluetooth.

Transmitting over Airplay:

Apple and airplay go hand in hand, but it can get a bit more tricky when you want to transmit from another OS.Also, Apple does not natively receive. For Windows, you may use an app called Tuneblade for transmission. This windows app also, has a remote app for iOS. It is really neat, if you have a home radio station up, that you leave playing all the time, as Tuneblade, transmits whatever your default audio device is playing on the PC. As long as the app is open, you don’t need to touch the computer. Tuneblade on the Windows side is mostly accessible, you see the volume sliders per speaker, and you tab past this for the button to enable the receiveing device. You can not, with JAWS, or NVDA, register the software. You will either need to have sighted assist, or, use the app Viewpoint, an AI app that creates an accessible UI, from a UI, that is otherwise inaccessible, that’s another post in itself, but as long as you have airplay 2 receivers, the Tuneblade remote app allows you to enable, or disable each receiver, and you can easily play in multiple rooms at a time.

For anilogue sources, their is an app called Airchord that allows you to Airplay from your iOS device, so the Microphone, or a usb audio device. I have installed it, but not played much with the app. It looks accessible.

Wiim, allows for prapriitory Multi-room audio, which, in itself, is not airplay, but it’s very similar, as long as you have, say, a Wiim Pro, and then multiple Wiim mini’s to receive. The Wiim Home app is accessible. The only thing I got hung up on, was, that you go into the Wiim Pro, to setup the listening, or receiveing sources. but the audio is in sync across rooms! and to mee the technology is very similar quality to Airplay. The Pro has rca and digital inputs and outputs. The Mini has eighth inch input and output, and optical out. These Wiim devices are powered by USB c, 5 v.

All and all, Airplay can change the way you think about home audio, and multi-room audio! It’s a very cool technology! you can transmit from iOS, Windows and anilogue sources.

Went to a train museum today. Guy outside had a hobbiest gas powered Putt-putt motor car, that rides on train rales. He started it up. Listen below! This is a 20 hp engine.
