Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2004Follett rides again
James is not around here at the moment, but I thought I'd share this from the BBC7 newsletter (brought to us this week in monochrome as they seem to have run out of html): 7TH DIMENSION In the 7th Dimension we have two marvellous James Follett dramatisations next week. From Monday to Wednesday there's a chance to hear Rules of Asylum and then, on Thursday, The Destruction Factor begins a six-part run. For those of you unfamiliar with Follett's work, Rules of Asylum is his story of a man who, having escaped from a sanatorium, appears to pose a threat to the state. This dramatisation stars Betty Huntley-Wright and Neville Jason and was first heard as a 90-minute play on Radio 4 in November 1973. The Destruction Factor is a work of science fiction of a different persuasion. Directed by David Spense and starring T.P. McKenna, Rosalind Adams, Paul Copley and Bruce Beeby, this is the story of a new strain of plant created to bring relief to famine-ridden countries. Of course, it may look innocent but destruction is sure to lurk within. The Destruction Factor was first broadcast in March 1978.

I caught a snatch of Jimbo himself on BBC7 a week or so ago - they devoted most of an evening to him talking about his radio work and an episode of The Destruction Factor was broadcast. The insights into the recordings were fascinating. Jim's voice sounded quite different to how I'd imagined he would sound. With Listen Again I've been able to catch up with much of the excellent radio drama that I've always regretting missing because of work but can anyone recommend good easy-to-use software that will let me save the recordings?

I use Total Recorder from High Criteria http://www.highcriteria.com/ It costs money - $11.95 (USD) Standard Edition; $39.95 Professional Edition. Free evaluation versions are available - only 40 seconds recording, but they give the opportunity to explore the interface and facilities. There are undoubtedly free products out there somewhere.

I've posted before in AUE about Magix Audio Cleaning Lab, which I bought originally to digitize old LP and tape recordings. I now use it for all kinds of sound-file editing, and one of its features is the ability to grab whatever is going into your soundcard. The latest version is ACL 2004 and costs around £25, but I think you can buy earlier versions for less than half that price. E-mail me if you'd like more info, Laura. I have the whole of that Jimbofest recorded, by the way, so let me know if you'd like it.

I got the deluxe edition, which allows you to produce unlimited MP3 files. The standard edition has a limited number of runs, after which you have to pay a bit extra to derestrict it.

At that price I can't refuse, and have just ordered it. I had to pay a little extra for unlimited MP3 production with Nero, too, but it was far less than the cost of the original software.

I hope everyone's been using it frequently: it's definitely the business! Matti >"Charles Riggs" <CHANGE@aircom.net> wrote... >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >unpeeled potatoes for my chip method. I hope everyone's been using it >frequently: it's definitely the business! I should print that out, frame the result, and hang it on my wall, I should. 'A friendly post of 2004 from my former friend, Matti Lamprhey', I'd label it. But I could be mistaken. If it was a dark innuendo that I shouldn't discuss food in AUE, it is a tradition even better established than discussing sheep. Where's bjg, that reminds me to ask? Ah, for the good old days of AUE: he would be a returning breath of fresh air -- even him -- now that we're saddled with the scrumbily likes of J**y the Clueless and T**y the Unlearned. I didn't realise it when I had it so good. SignatureCharles Riggs Email address: chriggs¦at¦eircom¦dot¦net |
