Analog Vs Digital What provides the best end radio results! AUDIO RECORDING

This is always an interesting topic so I though I start I chat on this. Here are some questions to get you guys going.
1. What is the difference between Analog and Digital?
2. Which sounds better Analog or Digital?
3. What type of music works best with Analog and which type works best with digital, meaning in terms of production. (oppinion)

I moved straight on from analog and digital to my current "Digilog" setup.
All my mics, speakers and anything that interfaces directly with the real world are digital (I sample the individual quantum states of each energy quanta - far more accurate and realistic that straight sampling.)
Those signals go staight into my digilog quantum computing system, running a specially modified version of Logic 7.5 QE (Quantum Edition). (You can also get the SHSE version - Steven Hawking Special Edition, although I wouldn't recommend recording vocals in that one...)
You'll be no doubt pleased to hear that sample editing has been improved in this version to "Quantum Accurate Editing" in the arrange page, which works great.
Analog and digital are so last century. Get with the program and upgrade to Digilog! And as an extra bonus, you can remaster your existing recordings into the digilog domain and sell them all over again!
Just remember not to clip anything in a digilog system, or else the universe collapses into a single quantum singularity, and once that happens it's impossible to uncompress the universe back into it's former dynamic range even with Logic QE's Quantum Expander.
BTW I recommend staying away from the "AnalDig" system. I tried it once, but it never sat comfortably with me...

What is the best approach to track deleted records

Dear all,
We have build a CMS platform which is based on SQL server 2012 tables structure hosted in Azure.
We have build on top of this some REST API method in order to access data from any type of client application.
The issues we need to solved now is what his the best way to track deleted records in order that client application gets informed through web service about deleted data from our CMS.
We were thinking of 2 path actually :
- having a kind of Ghost table for each of our real table where deleted records will be inserted into ( physical delete ). This would mean adding as many Ghost tables as we have production tables
- Adding a IsDeleted flag to each of our table which will be set to true when a record is deleted from our CMS ( logical delete ). This would means adding an IsDelete field to each of our tables, create and update all our store procedure and web services
in order to taken in account that new filter criteria to fetch our records. Quite huge job
Will there be any other approach ?
We are looking the best solution with minimum impact on our current solution

Hello,
@Tom, based on your question
"The question would be what do you need to do with the deleted records and how long do you need to keep them?"
When records is deleted, then I simply want to delete them and informed any client application about deleted items in order to get data in Sync. I will not have any reporting on deleted data !
The only reason of tracking delete tables items, is simply to informed client application through web service sync about the data to be ignored. Client application have a caching database records for performance reason and is is require to not used data
from that local storage which has been reported as deleted by the SQL server on Aure.
Does this make sense ?

What is the best way to do voice recording in a Macbook Pro?

Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

(workflow question) - What is the best way to handle audio in a large Premiere project?

Hey all,
This might probably be suitable for any version of Premiere, but just in case, I use CS4 (Master Collection)
I am wrestling in my brain about the best way to handle audio in my project to cut down on the time I am working on it.
This project I just finished was a 10 minute video for a customer shot on miniDV (HVX-200) cut down from 3 hours of tape.
I edited my whole project down to what looked good, and then I decided I needed to clean up all the Audio using Soundbooth, So I had to go in clip by clip, using the Edit in SoundBooth --> Render and Replace method on every clip. I couldn't find a way to batch edit any audio in Soundbooth.
For every clip, I performed similar actions---
1) both tracks of audio were recorded with 2 different microphones (2 mono tracks), so I needed only audio from 1 track - I used SB to cut and paste the good track over the other track.
2) amplified the audio
3) cleaned up the background noise with the noise filter
I am sure there has to be a better workflow option than what I just did (going clip by clip), Can someone give me some advice on how best to handle audio in a situation like this?
Should I have just rendered out new audio for the whole tape I was using, and then edit from that?
Should I have rendered out the audio after I edited the clips into one long track and performed the actions I needed on it? or something entirely different? It was a very slow, tedious process.
Thanks,
Aza

Hi, Aza.
Given that my background is audio and I'm just coming into the brave new world of visual bits and bytes, I would second Hunt's recommendation regarding exporting the entire video's audio as one wav file, working on it, and then reimporting. I do this as one of the last stages, when I know I have the editing done, with an ear towards consistency from beginning to end.
One of the benefits of this approach is that you can manage all audio in the same context. For example, if you want to normalize, compress or limit your audio, doing it a clip at a time will make it difficult for you to match levels consistently or find a compression setting that works smoothly across the board. It's likely that there will instead be subtle or obvious differences between each clip you worked on.
When all your audio is in one file you can, for instance, look at the entire wave form, see that limiting to -6 db would trim off most of the unnecessary peaks, triim it down, and then normalize it all. You may still have to do some tweaking here and there, but it gets you much farther down the road, much more easily.Same goes for reverb, EQ or other effects where you want the same feel throughout the entire video.
Hope this helps,
Chris

I need to conect my 2nd generation apple tv to an old analog stereo. What is the best way?

So, I have a brand new 2nd generation apple tv, a brand new projector and an old analog receiver. I want to be able to play music off of the apple tv without turning on the projector and so am trying to figure out the best way to connect the ATV to the receiver. 2nd generation only has an optical audio out. The cheapest option I have found is a Digital to Analog converter that costs $90. If you add in the wires it costs as much as the ATV! Kind of annoying as now I see the first generation had analog outputs.
Just wondering if anyone had any other solutions or suggestions. Anyone done this?
Thanks!

What is the best way to output audio to my DJ system?

I have a few questions I was hoping you all could help me out with!
First off I am a mobile DJ and I DJ primarily weddings and use the program djay.
I just need a primary output and a second output to cue songs.
Currently I DJ using the 1/8 stero jack on my macbook to the RCA connectors on my mixer.
Is this considered "digital" ? And is this a quality connection?
I read that the output on the mac is analog/optical, what does this mean?
What is my best way to connect my mac to my DJ system? What type of product will be best?
I don't want to spend too much. Thank you so much for your time!

What is the best way to get audio from a regular cd into logic?

I need to get some music of a regular music CD into Logic. When doing something like this on a PC I'd get some third party software to rip the CD and convert into audio files that I'd use in the Daw. What is the simplest way on a Mac?

1. insert CD (der...)
2. open iTunes and click 'inport cd'
3. when the tracks are finished inporting drag them into a play list (just to keep things tidy.)
4. select the tracks you want in logic.
5. drag the tracks where you want them in logic
note: when you drag the tracks in logic will create an overview for the tracks, this could take a while depending on the length of the son.
hope this helps.

What is the best way to download audio files?

I am building a website for a church. How do I put the weekly audio sermons on the site, so that the files don't take forever to download?
I had a link with quicktime, but someone said they didn't have that plug-in, so I have embedded the files.
...what is the most popular and fast way for people to hear the sermons?
I have split up the pages.
I was hoping for one like, https://crosspointelpaso.ctsmemberconnect.net/sermon-ctrl.do?view=0&grpId=26073
This is where I am now...http://www.estevanfaithlutheran.com/listentosermonsonline.html
Thank you.
Em

The site that you referenced is using mp3 for the sermon audios... if you look at the code for one of the links it is this:
<a href="https://f1.ctsmemberconnect.net/garoupdb/O-0000000937/G-0000026073/audio/Sep 21 2008.mp3" title="" target="_blank">What Is God Looking At?</a>
It then depends on what the client machine uses to run mp3s as to how they open, automaticallly or the viewer is asked whether they want to open the file using their mp3 player. Probably more widespread than using quicktime.

What is the best pc to use for recording analog to digital?

I'm recording vinyl albums from a USB turntable to my Dell PC which has a sigmatel sound card. I use audacity software but I can't adjust the input levels before I record. I also am wondering if there is a different sound card I can buy to give me better quality recordings.

There are many stylii for iPad.
The main requirement is that it be a capacitive type of stylus. Meaning that the stylus' has to be able to conduct the electrical impulses from your fingers to the tip of the pen so that the pen functions just like if you're touching it with your finger.
Stylii made for iPhone/iPod Touch or iPad will usually be indicated.
You really need to do a search on the web for them, and, if possible, find a retailer that is close to your location to see one, in person, to see if it might fit your needs.
Here are few links to get you started
http://myipadgames.com/best-ipad-stylus/
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/iphoneandipodtouchapps/ss/Best-Stylus.htm
The last link has links for other stylii at the bottom of page that you can tap or click on.
Personally, I have two that I use and like. I use a Pogo Sketch stylus, and just recently switched to using a Wacom Bamboo stylus that I find is really good for drawing. I has a smaller rubber tip on the end than most other stylii.
You have to find one you think might work for you based upon size, length/diameter, and size of the pen tip.
And if you can get to see some of these in person, the stylus' weight. I find, for me, the lighter a stylus is the better.
Good luck and Happy Hunting!

What is the best and smallest bluetooth audio-only earpiece for iPhone?

I'm not looking to make calls, but listen to music/podcasts in one ear. Looking for a one-part peice that works well and is more subtle than normal bluetooth headsets. Beige skin-colour would be even greater!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm not looking for a "bluetooth headset" per se. I'm looking for a bluetooth earpiece. Something that connects well to my iPhone so I can listen to music/podcasts, and is small is what I mean by "best" and "more subtle". I mean visibly subtle.
Audio quality is not my concern as I would mainly be listening to talks/podcasts.
Just wondering if anyone knows of anything out there.

Whats the best way to fix audio recorded on a smartphone?

So I have to re-edit this previously done video and all I have to do is change the audio introduction, unfortunately the VO person is out of town with no access to professional audio equipment and all he can do is record the intro on his phone (literally one line) and text it to me so I can insert it. The rest of the audio remains the same
We just did that, but as expected the audio doesn't sound as "clear" as the previously recorded one. I basically just have to insert the new audio line and just keep the rest of the audio as last months. I do have music and sound effects in the background but since Im not an expert on audio effects, my question to you fellow editors is.... what audio effects or procedures do you recommend to clean up this audio, there is no background noises (its clean), it just sounds a little "over modulated" I guess, it just sounds rough, as if it was recorded on a phone (well it was!)
If anybody had experience with a similar situation Id sincerely appreciate the advice. Please keep in mind Im not an expert on Audition so if you can help me out please do so with a very precise explanation.
Thank you!

It may sound a little like ryclark is joshing with you, but I'm afraid he isn't.
You can't ever process a recording to make the quality better than the original. You may be able to reduce the background noise a little, and alter the frequency response, but the distortion inherent in it remains, whatever you do - there's no such thing as an un-distortion (this is what your over-modulated sound is) plugin. And I have to say that anybody who eventually figures out how to carry out this seemingly impossible task will clean up; it could easily be the most expensive plugin ever! So as he says, either re-record the lot, or add some trash to what you've already got. Or do what I'd do, and get somebody completely different to re-do the introduction. That, I'm afraid, is the most precise explanation I can give you about what you should - or indeed have - to do.

What is the best choice for home studio recording?

I have a Korg M50, Acoustasonic 150 amp and Epiphone Les Paul electric ukelele and am thinking of using a Saffire Pro 24 interface. I'm thinking of a MacBook but not sure which one works best with this set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

What is the best way to trim audio from the front?

I have a 4 minute video clip and song is 4:40 with a lot of intro so I want to back up the audio to catch about the last 4 minutes.
Easy answer I am sure but I am a rookie with iMovie.
Thanks

You could select the audio clip and fire up the Clip Trimmer (off the Window menu). Then, you can play with the beginning and end AND slide the content left and right to get the point you want at the beginning of the clip.

What is the best compression choice for importing audio?

Hi
What is the best setting for importing audio into itunes?
thnx

There is no "best", it depends on what is important to you.
If you want the same fidelity as the CD use AIFF, but this will result in very large files and reduce the number of songs you can put on your iPod.
If you want more songs on your iPod use 128 AAC. I wouldn't go any smaller for music.
If you want a compromise try Apple Lossless. Keep in mind if you have a Shuffle that Apple Lossless files won't work on that device.

What is the best way to Sync Digital Output(TTL) with Analog Output?

I am trying to generate Analog waveform that synchronize the rising edge of a digital signal(TTL). The ttl will be used as trigger for camera. The board I have is USB-6343X. In my draft, I used a clock as ttl so I can tune frequency easily. Could any one tell me what's the best way to accomplish such task? My draft seems working, but I hope there's more neat way. Thanks in advance for any help!
Kind regards,
Eric

Hi Econg,
You should be able to trigger your TTL output with the analog output by using the ao/StartTrigger as your trigger source on the counter task. You wouldn't have to have the extra Get Full Terminal Name.vi in your analog output task.
Here is an example using your modified code. You will have to change the cDAQ1/ao/StartTigger to *your device*/ao/StartTrigger, but it should then trigger the counter output at the exact time when the analog output starts.
