Audio quality in adobe connectnow vs skype

can i improve the audio quality in afcs than skype?
if i am using adobe connectnow, the audio quality is lower than skype.
is there any way to improve?

The answer is simple... with Logic you have to know what you're doing as opposed to Garageband which does some of the work for you. Logic is a program (generally) designed for professionals, it assumes you know a little bit about EQ, Compressors, Limiters...etc. If you don't, you need to learn if you wish to use Logic effectively. It also means you will need to study the ART of mixing, there's audio pros who say mixing can only be learned by doing it over and over and over....etc and listening to your mixes on as many different playback systems as possible.
Which version of Logic are you using? (important)
And what do you mean your CPU won't let you see the manual, the manual is online, if you have Safari you can see the manual.
Set Logic's master fader so your song never drives it over 0.0, but remember, louder is not necessarily better, first get a good mix/blend then worry about getting it louder.
Something else to consider, commercial recordings are mostly done using processing hardware that costs thousands of dollars. To compete with that you really have to know what you're doing.

Audio quality in Adobe Acrobat

I am recording audio comments directly in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional by using the Comment & Markup Tool, "Record Audio Comment." There is some static and crackle in the inserted audio files, however if I record a sound file with the same microphone and setup OUTSIDE of Acrobat, the sound is crystal clear. Is there anywhere within Adobe Acrobat to adjust sound quality or edit any settings that might improve the result? Thanks!

Thanks for sending the article. I will send the link for downloading to the client (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install _flash_player.exe )

Skype degrades bluetooth headset audio quality

Hi!I have stubled upon a quite serios issue for me in Skype. I have purchased a bluetooth headset and it works perfectly across all paalictions except skype. The problem is - when you start to use it in skype - audio quality degrades !significantly! and becmes VERY bad. As if skype swithes the bluetooth to some other state - degrading the qulity.All sounds are affected - (say you start a music track during the conversation - it will also be played with awful quality)So i assume skype does something to bluetooth settings system-wide. Once you stop skype conversation - audio quality comes back to normal. I know that this is not a bluetooth specifics, because_ i also use skype for business (lync) for my work - and there everything is fine - when i have conversations the audio quality is what it is supposed to be _ So this is exactly SKYPEs fault. Please advise.

Taking the debugging further...
1.) Incoming call comes in, or outgoing call is placed
2.) Audio is available for 5 seconds, in which I can hear the other party via the headset
3.) Within the 5 second time frame I execute the following command
MacBook-Pro:~ pbaker$ sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/BluetoothAudioAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BluetoothAu dioAgent /System/Library/CoreServices/BluetoothAudioAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BluetoothAu dioAgent-backup
4.) 5 seconds has passed and the system.log yields the following:
blued[17]: launchApp: App: '/System/Library/CoreServices/BluetoothAudioAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BluetoothA udioAgent' not found.
5.) Success, I'm able to talk for as long as want!
6.) Move back file when the call is over
MacBook-Pro:~ pbaker$ sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/BluetoothAudioAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BluetoothAu dioAgent-backup /System/Library/CoreServices/BluetoothAudioAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/BluetoothAu dioAgent
Now this is NOT ideal at all, and certainly indicates an issue with how OS X is establishing a bluetooth connection with the headset. However, its interesting to note that I can make as many calls as I want now without having to go through the above procedure. Unfortunately, this only lasts until the next time a restart. Also, it would appear that this keeps the headset "connected", which might drain the battery.
Any ideas?

Adobe Premiere CS6 degrading audio quality

Hello everyone. I am new to video editing but have been learning very fast. However, I am having an issue that I can't seem to find an answer to.
When I import anything into Premiere, the audio quality gets noticably muffled. I have tried exporting at the highest quality settings, but I don't think that's the problem becuase it sounds muffled in the playback in Premiere itself.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks so much!

Problem with audio quality using Record Audio Comment

I am recording audio comments in Adobe Acrobat Professional using the "Record Audio Comment" tool. The sound quality is bad--very scratchy and has a noisy hum. I am using a good USB headset/microphone. Recordings outside of Acrobat are fine, e.g., in Audacity. I have tried two different microphones with both Acrobat 8 and 9 on two different computers (a desktop and a laptop) with similar results.
I have not found an audio quality setting in Acrobat. Is there some way to improve the audio quality when recording comments? I suspect Acrobat is compressing the audio so much in order to save file size, however, the poor quality makes it almost unusable.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice. I know I can record outside of Acrobat and then add the pre-recorded audio as a comment, but that defeats the purpose.
Bev

Sorry to hear you are having problems.
A few things you can try:
1. Turning the volume of your TV up too high during a call can cause the kinds of audio problem you describe. Try turning the TV volume down and this should stop the 'feedback' problems you are having.
2. If you are using external speakers, then try switching these off and using the speakers built in to the TV. The TV was originally tested for Skype using the TV's internal speakers, so if you have a soundbar or other external speakers connected, the audio performance may suffer on Skype calls.

Poor audio quality in iChat

When I use iSight in Skype it delivers a way better audio quality in comparison with iChat Audio/Video chat. It's not that crisp, more like a poor telephone call. I wonder if I can change it or is it just an iChat nature?
My connection speed is 1 MB.
Straming in Quicktime changed to 1.5 MB
My Output/Input settings in Sound tab seems OK.
I don't use firewall.

Hi Sleeze,
I do not have Skype so I can not judge. Most of the posts I have read seem to suggest iChat Audio is better.
However Skype could have updated their app.
As long as iChat Bandwidth and Quicktime streaming setting in System Preferences are not capping your connection I can not see any other changes you can make. (unless you are "too far" from the camera). If the last is the case it may pay to adjust the volume in System Preferences > Sound >Input tab as this is the master for iChat. I am not sure if it is the same for Skype.

Audio Quality WAV Files

Hi,
I´m new to Adobe Audition 3.0 and I have a question concerning the audio quality.
My original format is wav (uncompressed).
When I edit my wav audio files and save them and open them again, edit them, and save them again. My question: Is there any loss in quality?
Marcus

Not as long as you stick with .wav and at Auditions default bit depth of 32 bits. Even if you start with 16 or 24 bit always remain with 32 until the last step if you require 16 or 24 bits to be used in the final output file.

Audio Quality

Hey folks,
We've got a client who is looking for better audio quality than we've previously been able to get out of LCCS. Looking into it a bit, it looks like the Flash microphone class has two main quality settings: encodeQuality and rate. The MicrophoneManager allows you to set the encodeQuality (although it seems to default to the max: 10 (~42kbps)) but not the sampling rate, which defaults to something like 8 or 11 kHz. Is there a reason for this? Would it be a particularly bad idea to up the sampling rate on the mic manually if we'd like to improve audio quality?
Also, in the Flash Microphone class documentation (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Microphone. html) it looks like the rate can be set to 5, 8, 11, 22, 44 kHz. Another article I found on audio capture (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7d1d.html) seems to suggest that those settings are available with the Nellymoser codec only, and that the SPEEX codec, which is recommended for LCCS, can only do 16 kHz sampling. Was wondering if that article might not be a bit outdated and if we might not be able to set the rate to something higher (the wikipedia entry on SPEEX seems to suggest that it can handle 32 kHz).
Our client was hoping for relatively high grade audio quality - I believe he wanted, in an ideal world, something like 44kHz sampling frequency and 96kbps bitrate. I don't know if these values are possible, but I'd hope that we can improve the audio quality to some degree.
Do you have any suggestions on how to produce higher quality audio from LCCS? Are there any other factors in the audio quality that I'm neglecting? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Davis

like this....
                    private var audioCodec:String="Nellymoser";
                    private function onTimerComplete(p_evt:TimerEvent):void
                                        activityTimer.start();
                                        if ( audioPub.isPublishing && !audioPub.isPaused ) {
                                                  if (audioPub.microphone.codec.toLocaleLowerCase()=="speex" && myCodec=="Nellymoser") {audioPub.microphone.codec=myCodec;audioPub.microphone.setSilenceLevel(0,666666);}
                    blablabla....
Even if I apply the codec this way: <rtc:AudioPublisher id="audioPub" codec="Nellymoser"
when a new user enters or leaves the room the audioPub.codec switch to Speex. To correct this, I can reapply the codec and also setSilencelevel but the audio stream will be stopped for 1 or 2 sec.

Online Number - Country vs. Audio Quality

Hi,
I am about to buy a Skype Online Number for a call that I will receive next week from someone in the UK, and I will be in Brazil. My question is -- for the best audio quality, should I buy a UK or Brazilian number?
Thanks!
Regards,
Guilherme

If the other person has a smartphone I recommend using Viber.Totally free and excellent quality. if you must use Skype buy the UK number as it will be cheaper for them to call you. Call quality is all about luck.

CC 2014 - Audio quality reduced from original video

I used to use Adobe Premiere Pro CC WITHOUT THE 2014 version FYI
Let me explain:
-Back then i've been using Adobe Premire Pro CC peacefully using the GPU Mercury Playback thing activated. No problems AT ALL.
-After recording a TV program and getting the AVI File when finished recording, i tested that RAW file to hear it's audio and see the vid with Windows Media Player. Audio quality was perfect,clear and high as it should.
-Whenever i placed that AVI file into Premiere Pro CC (again, NO 2014 version), the audio and video played as it did in WMP.And when rendered/exported to a new file after some edits, it still kept the quality and all that stuff!
.....NOW, with Adobe Premiere CC 2014, there's a BIG PROBLEM....Whenever i place THAT SAME RAW FILE in CC 2014....The video played nicely,yeah...framerate stable etc...The problem is...that the Vid's AUDIO quality has been REDUCED and it's NOT CLEAR ANYMORE,and it happens to ALL THE PREVIOUS AVI FILES I HAVE!!!
What have adobe done?...Don't break what's working correctly!!!...Now i can't go back to Adobe Premiere CC WITHOUT THE 2014 version because of the new version STAYING FOREVER!
Please,HELP ME!!!. I can do a video of what i'm saying so you guys understand the situation.
DV

To be honest,i have not a single clue about it...Never touched the Audio and Audio Hardware Settings. I tried searching online on google for a solution and i think found a solution (This one had a similar? problem as mine) . I had to change an option in Settings->Audio Hardware-> ASIO Settings then something above 512 of the Buffer, aka 1024, though i've touched "default" and it changed to 2048. The problem disappeard.
But...i think i know why it might've been the problem after all..i think... What i did to begin with was to put a "Bandicam" (It wasn't a TV show in the end,SORRY!) recording (in it's default settings) into CC 2014 and it's audio (in CC 2014) has been like muted ,though whenever you skip the timeline forward,you can hear "a huge distortion" that doesn't matches the recording's audio AT ALL (D**n,i played a music in the background while recording and,once finished recording i've played the vid i've made and the audio was there,perfect quality)... After that i wanted to "Mute the Bandicam's audio track" and put the song that should've played over it.. Then whenever i've played the vid to see how it looked like,that song i've placed over the "broken audio" GOT AFFECTED TOO... Perhaps it was just THE BANDICAM VIDEO'S AUDIO FAULT!!
(Though somehow i got lucky to ,from a random chance, to have that audio i've inserted manually to play and also render/export in it's correct quality...Weird!)
...Then i tought "Did Adobe screwed up?...". I've closed CC2014 100%,restarted the PC,opened CC 2014 , grabbed a DIFFERENT Video file ,this time from a TV Recording (this time,YES,TV,sorry) and whenever i click the Play button in the preview...The audio played exactly as the original video did...I even tried placing that same song over it to see if it did distorted and didn't
...Perhaps i am doing something wrong now...or are some Adobe settings being changed like crazy without my aknowledge (or something) ?
My PC is:
Intel i5 2500K
660GTX Ti OC 2GB (GIGABYTE/Nvidia)
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Windows 7 64bits Home Premium
250GB SSD
1TB HDD
If there's something i should try out to see if the problem could be vanished FOREVER please let me know X_X;

Audio quality degraded when imprting FLV file to Flash FLA

Hi,
I have created a FLV file using Adobe Media Encoder CS5.
I have played it back on Several Media players and it sound fine.
I import it into a Scene in Flash CS5 aand when I preview the Scene the audio has degraded and sounds terrible.
The audio is mono at 48 kbps.
I cannot find any controls or options to edit the audio of the video.
I have rendered it out several times using different settings but it alway plays back the same highly compressed tinny sound.
Any advise?

Try with your publish settings in flash to adjust your audio quality while publishing, look into the below screenshot:

Poor Audio Quality in Cap4

Hi all, I'm enjoying the new functions in Captivate 4
although I'm having a problem with the audio quality. I'm importing
mp3s from Soundbooth. Things sound great, (on a level with C3.),
when I preview the audio within the slide but when published or
previewed in a browser it sounds like a bad VOIP connection; sort
of electronic and raspy. Is anyone else experiencing this.
One theory I have is when I edit the audio for the project I
get a message that the closed captioning will be removed from the
presentation. The problem appears to be worse when I do this. Is it
possible that removing the closed captioning degrades the audio?
I'd love know know if anyone has thoughts on this.
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have encountered this using audio imported from both
SoundBooth and as well as Sony SoundForge. If you can spare the
time, I would recommend that you report this to the Adobe Captivate
team using the web address I have included below.

Keeping high audio quality, despite Pr Pro Audio Conforming

I'm working on a film project, which will be edited in Premiere Pro. I am recording most of the audio at 24/96 .wav files. There will however be some audio files recorded at 16/48 compressed, coming from different sources. This is unfortunately unavoidable. SO, upon digging in the Adobe help sections, I found that if I start my project and set the sequence settings for audio to a sample rate of 96 (or 96,000), Prem Pro WILL NOT CONFORM my 24/96 .wav files. (Pr Pro will not conform uncompressed audio of a supported format if it is brought into a sequnce where the sample rate of the sequence is the same as the clip.) This is great. My 24/96 files will hold their quality all the way through the process. It will however conform the other files such as the 16/48 compressed files.
So here's my question. (Keep in mind that my final product will be exported to 24/96.) I can take all my 16/48 audio files and convert them to uncompressed 24/96 before bringing into Prem Pro and then Prem Pro won't conform them at all. So what will yield the best audio quality - a 16/48 audio file that has been conformed by Prem Pro and then during the export done by Prem Pro converted to 24/96, or will the audio quality be higher if I convert that 16/48 audio file first to 24/96 and then bring it into Prem Pro, where it won't be conformed by Prem Pro at all? In other words, for best audio quality, do I let Prem Pro conform my 16/48 files and then convert them to 24/96 during export, or do I do the 16/48 converstion to 24/96 in another program like Audition?
(((And yes, the higher audio quality matters.)))
Thank you

If these files are .wav files then they aren't compressed just a lower sample rate and bit depth. There shouldn't be any difference in quality between the Premiere up converted or the Audition up converted files, although I would trust Audition a bit more than Premiere to do an accurate conversion.
Not really sure why you need to work at 96K, it just uses more resources but it is worth keeping the sored files as at least 24bit. Since Audition works at 32bit floating point bit depth as it's native format it may be that your saved files from Audition are 32bit and that is what Premiere is choking on.

Facetime for computer audio quality

Loaded Facetime on my wife's computer and my computer. We are both connected to the net via ethernet. Both computers updated to most recent version of Snow Leopard. I like the program. Video quality is OK, but sound quality is not good. My wife can hear me fine, but every other word she says is either garbled or even worse, the audio completely cuts out. The problem doesn't seem to be hardware specific since our conversations on Skype work fine. Anybody experience anything similar?

Actually, I've found that audio quality is quite excellent, with extremely low latency compared to other VOIP offerings. I don't know what technology Apple is using, but the latency on FT is rather low: about 200-300ms (vs 3,000ms typical for Skype).
Of course, I should say I have a fast cable connection (20 Mbps) with low measured latency (60 ms), and the video/audio load of a FT represents no real burden (about 120 kbps). Obviously, your results will vary, depending on the upload/download speeds of the wi-fi systems at both ends of the call.
It's a good idea to verify the connection speed when using wi-fi: there's a number of free bandwidth testers available on iTunes app store that are worth running before attempting to place a call, as the quality of the connection is directly tied to voice/video quality.

What is the audio quality on an iPod Shuffle?

I have just received a free iPod shuffle. I would like to know whether the sound quality is different on all different models/varieties of iPods. I am an audiophile and quality is 1st priority. If one has music files as AAC format with highest bit rate possible, will it sound exactly the same on a Shuffle as on an iPod classic, or what about an iPod touch? Where can I find a description of the different audio quality of playback on these different size devices?
Thanks

Apple does not publish audio specs on the various iPods and this information is tough to come by. They all sound pretty similar, some will have slight differences from others due to the difference in chipsets used.
Personally I think my 1st Generation iPod Shuffle has slighter better bass than the 2nd Generation Shuffle, 3rd Generation is on a par with the 1st Gen, my fifth generation iPod sound cleaner than my 160GB iPod Classic and I prefer the 2nd Generation Nano sound to all of them.
