I don't like extremists on either side! Rather than "believe" anything another on the internet or something tells me, I'd much rather rely on my own instinct on what is right and what is wrong. Only thing that has gotten me this far, I learned early on to trust nobody but yourself, otherwise just a puppets on strings and I'm a lot of things but not that. I know you're a good person, Draker. and I don't have the energy to protest for any cause at this point, so, I have no choice but to go with the flow, I guess. **leaving the thread for good - bye bye**

Clever my friend - that was reply to a song posted by another member saying he can't find things to laugh about with the war going on in the Ukraine and I vaguely remember on the news (from FOX actually, see, I don't just watch liberal media) and they (this new far right tea party maggots) were actually saying we should wish Putin well. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Stand by by what I wrote above (that posting was actually deleted by me - 2nd post down on this page) I felt it was wrong to talk about politics when I'm not doing any fighting myself as (you eloquently stated) I hardly every leave the house anymore, so I don't have the right to complain. Not fair to others to have everything go political on a computer tech forum. https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounders/proud-boys-0 Absolutely Disgusting! Needn't say more just read and they "proudly" explain it all. But know what, I don't actually care as I'm gonna be 50 and they didn't expect me to make it thus far with everything I'm dealing with, so long as the country holds together for another 10 years, because I "mostly sit at home" they'll have to break down the door on my trailer as I'll just hibernate and keep to myself ... which is already what I'm doing so not much should change, then hopefully I'll be dead! I'm quite ready actually and this life has drained me completely and there is nothing left now, but empty shell and zombie. Just quiet and nothing - no heaven with self righteous - no hell because THIS IS hell already. Just no more blobfish legacy. No kids and family never speak to and miss my dearly departed father. I am certainly pro choice so everyone can take that to the bank, HOWEVER, that being said, I wish I was never born at all. Would've been much easier, I guess. But I'm not sad, why waste the energy in sadness or despair over this word, and I (FULLY) REALIZE its not just that easy to fix because we're too far gone. I think I'm just numb to it all and expect it and the worse to happen and that brings down the hopeless let down. Nothing will ever surprise me anymore. Yeah, what a lovely bunch, let me see, where do I sign up. I'm feelin' the love. Hurl Have at em, boys...............

OMG ... awful!! All I could think about was getting home and now I'm happy its over, isn't that sick. I'm happy its quiet with my computer and alone At least I got to go to starbucks. Anyway.. I'll likely stay clear going forward of this thread as I'm not all that political as I think they're all lairs anyway. I'm just little old me (mister blobfish) coming up for air every now and again. I haven't a clue what the world will be like in the future or even tomorrow, but get selfish and take care of yourself and your needs. We do what we can to live green, but I think because we feel its right thing to do by doing our part ... no matter how small or insignificant may be in the big picture. Take good care everyone

Besides, I guess it doesn't matter because I'm going nowhere. Stuck regardless of what is happening. I just try to accept what is happening and what is in my control and that my little bubble, just me and my plants. I don't talk to people all that much and sometimes I don't even use the phone or make or receive call in weeks anyway. Gonna be 50 soon and looking back, I worry the better days are behind me and I hope I don't become bitter old grouch filled with regret(s). *Would've ... Should've ... Could've* will eat away at your spirit if we don't catch it. Today (after being inside for almost 2 weeks) somebody is going to take a few of us to the beach and I'm scared to death and in anxiety city. Yeah, not good at all. Working on it still as its a long process.

Oh, I just really liked the quote from George and up-voted it. I know, under some Communist regimes the mentally ill were killed off, as well as other things they deemed to be defective or harmful to their "cause". Yeah, at least, here, I"m able to live on my own and sustain a (somewhat) independent existence , but, sadly (and I hate to say it), some of those programs we have could go away if the pendulum swings too far to the right. Please don't assume I'm far left, I'm not, just trying to survive and need assistance (some social programs) and I don't think the govt taking care of the ill is socialism. Sorry ;( So, yes, better here than other horrible place and I'm just barely getting by and live a VERY humble lifestyle if I can even call this "living". Day-by-day and moment-by-moment is it. EDIT: Sorry, had to correct all my typos.

Welcome to MSFN! I've never blogged, unless you count years (and years) of forum journals in mental health forums - "blogging". We're mainly a computer tech forum, so other than talking to people, do you have some interest on computers? Look to hear more from you

Hmmm ... I'n on V11 and no issues with the https in green?

Hmmm .... hopefully these changes will improve speed a little on Serpent 52 for us and Serpent 55 is getting much better ... good to see!

Ya know ... I'm thinking (I try to avoid it whenever possible) ... I wonder if we record our old cassettes and 78's with all these programs and hook up the connections as described, maybe, just maybe, we'll bring these old tunes back into style and the clubs will be looking up to us find where they can get these latest dance craze mixes. Gosh, mercy me, we'll be 'all the rage'. Its a circus in my head Remember - you heard it here first Lol...

Actually, I also didn't realize (forgot) that I'd already removed --kiosk-printing from the loader quite some time ago, but if @NotHereToPlayGames put it in there, perhaps there is some security risk involved on Print Preview I'm unaware of. Yeah, must be a changed in V13, but what I'm surprised about, from looking at your screen grab, your connection to MSFN is in red? This never happens on V11 with Certificates Updated from the tool here. Are you able to get a secure connection? This was happening all the time in @Humming Owl 's DC Browser (which I gave up on ... too bad, it was very nice) and V12 I had the same with no benefit over V11, and I still will use V9, as well because it uses so little resources and still renders videos properly; shockingly.

Hi Dave, hope you're well. I use @NotHereToPlayGames/ArcticFoxie's version V11 ( I know V13 could different ), but, as you can see, print Preview is working fine here. When from the hambuerger menu - selecting print or control P the preview stays until I either print or cancel. I wish you well trying to figure this issue out.

Thank you - I didn't know that - good to know others here are aware of that member ... so I'll consider it legit. It does work but not portable so it creates appdata folders, but I use CCleaner for that very purpose and monitor those folders very well. I Appreciate your reply :~)

Never owned a smart phone and don't want one, but I do have a dumb phone because it was too costly to justify them getting me a land line phone. Have you beat - both my PCs are going on 18 years old but my main monitor is only 10 years old. My Old Dell that came with my old Dell Dimension 3000 still works but causes massive headaches. I've never owned a car and I can't imagine how people afford to drive, one of the guys that pick me up says a full tank lasts for only 1 week, but he drives all over. I walk, but not as much as I should be. Hard to explain, phobia(s). I guess its just sad that this is not the country my dearly departed father hoped it would be. I'm glad I don't have spawn (hehe) as I worry about the state the world will be in when I'm cremated. I (personally) find the whole funeral thing and religious crap extremely offensive - people are there at the end crying over the coffin when where the heck were they throughout their life when that person really needed them. I"ll haunt anybody that does that =P. Actually, I'm so isolated that nobody would even know if I dropped off the face of the planet tomorrow, and I prefer it that way. Wouldn't even be in the paper ... "poor troubled soul was he" .... hurl.

Hello and nice day, all! I'm working on/with this today and it does work, but I had to locate api files from another project to get it up and running. I was reading from the site, it had telemetry removed, but I'm unsure about that or what that means. Does anybody else on MSFN have any experience with Audacium? Can anybody else confirm this is legit and trustworthy? Thanks

youtube.com/watch?v=lBaTzUquI88 I just thought you both could use a brief moment of levity from all the gloom - I hope you guys can see this funny song ... hang in there, guys

@dmiranda you'll like this one, very good IMO. I've uploaded my song and changed the pitch, key, speed, tempo, everything and exported again into an mp3 (which further squashed it). You can see its in the green and the level is where you should be, otherwise, you're in overdrive territory. Have fun recording those old cassettes of a time when we were young and fearless and hot stuff (if I do presume so). Yeah, that might be stretching the truth a bit in my case, but now I'm a broken down old horse that lost the Kentucky Derby. Oh well, they crazy kids got nothin' on us

Very welcome again, I'm sitting right here. I'm glad you are having good luck, for if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have none at all.

You're always very welcome, I DO hope you can figure this out.

Hi again ... I'm puzzled, because, as you can see, I've been linking and uploading images from that very site (5 in the last hour) with no issue at all and I'm on St 52???? I just uploaded this without issue. I'm sorry, I haven't a clue unless your IP they don't like. Don't know, but I understand your frustration? https://postimg.cc/Hc0nvGnS also attached from 360 V11 without issue.

Ok ... I like this one. https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacityportable/ Once you've download the zip (and scanned and verified its not satanic) only use the following files but save the rest for later if you need them. This is 2.1.1 and requires those dll files and EQDefaultCurves to run, but version 1.6 will run without any other needed files besides the executable itself, but darned if I can find it. Its missing a lot of features though. Version 1.0 was the fastest of all.

Very true and please be very careful doing so, I've done it for years so I can get my old music on the computer, but, as you said, not ideal. I would open up your input levels as I've done below in the picture I'm attaching. I realize Dave is trying to save others from causing damage and you should trust him and go with aux in before you try the microphone because they are different. Sadly my aux input is a bad connection, so I have no alternative. Yes, try aux in (line in) first with very VERY low source volume as you can amplify and normalize it afterwards. Now I'm a bit irritated that I can't find you a good portable version of Audacity and only installers. Ugh ... I'll keep looking and would gladly send you my copy but perhaps 7-Zip would unpack the installers.

Hi Dave and hope all is well. Actually, I have 4 walkman cassettes players and a phonograph only with headphone jacks as output. I've only done it that way - from headphone to either microphone or aux in. @dmiranda mentioned walkman cassette players that usually only come with headphone jacks. But I realized after reading your posting that I should've mentioned the level of amplification from the source going into the sound card could actually cause damage. That is the good thing about Audacity 2.1.0 You need to keep the volume very low on the headphone output and keep the computer volume and open up the input volume levels up to the max. Not only do you not want to input to see blue in huge (distortion city) but when the input source shows up in RED, its too loud; in fact, I keep it very low and increase afterwards at the end. Should look like this: And when done, you can select Amplify if you need to, but I use mp3gain to do that. I'm going to find a way to send to a upload server the Pennsylvania Polka (don't worry, public domain) and see what you think as it came from a scratchy 45 record and I worked to improve it as best as could. I'll let you know when I figure out what would be best. Again, as Dave pointed out, feeding headphones or amplification to your computer can cause damage so start very low in the volume with your computer input (either microphone or aux in) all the way up so you won't wind up in the red. Try it and let us know which version Of Audacity you chose. 2.1.0 has a good mix of features, whereas below its very basic, but above 2.1.0 and its not very stable on XP and crashes on my systems. Good luck :

Hi @AstroSkipper ... I Just tried as well and all is well here and I posted images this morning on Serpent 52 without issue. Wish I had an answer, but perhaps the site was acting up for you when you tried it. This reminds me I need to just clear my attachments here as they are very old - will do so now.
