Audition AAC encoder information

Hi,
I am doing some research in perception codecs, and need some information about the AAC encoder. I cannot find any information about this, and Adobe support sent me to the forums for an answer. This question is therefore primarily directed to the developer staff.
- Which vendor supplies the encoder
- What version of the encoder is used
Any other information that relates to the AAC encoding in Audition is greatly appreciated!

Great prompt SteveG(AudioMasters). Also, thanks for also jumping in ryclark.
The basic answer is that on Windows we use Media Foundation (Microsoft Media Foundation (Windows)), and Audio Toolbox (Audio Toolbox Framework Reference) on OS X.  So the underlying encoder is owned by the operating system and can technically change from OS version to OS version.
That's specifically for current releases of Audition. In Adobe Media Encoder, the AAC encoding is licensed from a third-party and is different than what is in Audition.

  • Quicktime 10.0 and Finder 'Preview' crash when opening AAC encoded .m4a

    Hi all,
    I have a strange problem:
    I have all my music ripped in AAC encoded .m4a files, using the program Max. I performed all this encoding on Leopard (where everything works fine) and have now switched to a new machine running Snow Leopard. Now whenever I click on one of these files in Finder's column view, Finder immediately crashes, but in Finder's list view, clicking on the file does not crash Finder. I think the problem lies with Quicktime generating the preview in the column view. To confirm this, I tried opening the same file in Quicktime Player, and it immediately crashes! This same file plays fine in both iTunes and VLC player. I initially thought it could have been a permissions problem, but after repairing and verifying permissions, the behavior persists.
    I'm just wondering what might be going on with Quicktime when it tries to open these files. Below is a copy of the crash report from Quicktime after attempting to play this file. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  • AAC Encoder at 320 kbps...

    Hello all,
    I'm new to the forum. I've had to erase my hard drive and ipod of everything so I've lost over 3,000 songs and have to re-import all of my music
    The question is: I am assuming AAC Encoder at 320 kbps is the absolute best sound quality that I am going to get? I will be playing my music through my vehicle speakers and I want near CD sound quality!!!
    The other question is: What can you tell me abou the other selections of encoders for importing?... I've searched the forums and haven't found anything, nor did I find a itunes manual.
    Thank you all!!!

    WAV and AIFF both are uncompressed audio formats.
    WAV is mainly used on the Windows platform and AIFF on the MAC platform.
    These formats can be read and edited by virtually all players and audio editors.
    There's one disadvantage. They produce huge files of about 10 MB/minute of audio.
    To reduce file sizes, people invented compression techniques.
    Some of them succeeded in creating a codec (encoder/decoder) that will retain all audio information but reduce the file size to about half the size of WAV and AIFF.
    Examples of these are Apple Lossless and FLAC (not supported by iTunes).
    Your iPod (except the iPod Shuffle) supports WAV, but it will quickly fill up with those huge files.
    Like Chris suggested, you should rip a song at different bit rates and try to determine what is best for your situation.
    It all depends on your ears (hearing) and your playback system.
    In my car, I can't even hear improvements above 128 kbps AAC.

  • AAC Encoder in iTunes 7.5: significantly improved!

    Upon the reported 'problems' with the AAC-encoder in iTunes 7.5, I did a short analysis upon a self-created reference track (amongst others, containing lots of silence) @ 320 kbit, (supposedly) CBR AAC and MP3 encoding, and compared these to the previous version of iTunes. Here's what I found:
    AAC:
    1. Silences are encoded much more efficiently, leading to a reduction in file size (in this case) of about 50%
    2. The residue (the AAC-Waveform 'subtracted' from the original waveform) is four times smaller compared to the iTunes 7.4 encoder. (Although this is no real measure of the encoder's quality, regarding psychoacoustics and all that!).
    3. Furthermore, the amplitudes of pre-echoes, a significant compression artifact, are also reduced to 50% compared to the previous encoder.
    As for the indicated bit-rate, it's just the average for the entire file. Regarding the above, even if it indicates less then 320, you still get more.
    MP3:
    1. The better encoding of silence has also been applied in the MP3-encoder, however only leads to a reduction of file size of about 25% (this is probably the maximum the less efficient MP3-format allows).
    As for the rest, the MP3-waveform from the 7.5 encoder (including all its artifacts) has remain ex-act-ly the same compared to 7.4, really, to the last bit. So the benefit only concerns storage here...

    The codec is closed source, so there's not a change log (that I know of) to look at. Probably the best source of information on the status of iTunes AAC would be in the way of listening tests on Hydrogenaudio.

  • FDM: Error retrieving audit intersection cell information

    Hi,
    Could anyone please tell me how to resolve an error we've been having?
    When I right click in a cell in HFM with a view to using the Audit Intersection menu pick to review data uploaded using FDM, I see the error message "Error retrieving audit intersection cell information". Strangly, this works fine in our PPD environment, but we can't seem to get it working in Live even though the Drill-Back set up was copied across from PPD (with references to PPD changed to Live obviously)
    Thanks in advance
    Phil

    Which Version of HFM are you on? I know that in 9.3.1 Classic, you must update the metadata between migrations to the specific application name of FDM, if you have the same FDM app name, this would not apply, but if they change, you will need to change the metadata between them. The FDM app name is defined in the Application Settings dimension of metadata.

  • How can I import CD's with differing custom settings? IWhen I want to change settings the AAC encoder window does not appear because Itunes has adopted the first custom settings as default.

    I imported a CD with custom settings for stereo bit rate, sample rate and channels. When I tried to import a second CD with different settings I could not get to the AAc encoder window that gave the settings options. The custom settings I had chosen for the first CD had become the default "custom" settings.

    Hi there,
    please take a look at my suggestion under message #19227279
    regards,

  • Changing Import Settings in AAC Encoder, Custom

    I changed my import settings to AAC Encoder, Custom, and set the bit rate to 160 kbps from the menu of options.  Now that it is set, I cannot change it.  It no longer shows a menu of bit options.  How can I change my Custom settings again?

    Note, I use iTunes 7.5.  With this version I:
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing
    Import Using: AAC Encoder
    Settings: Custom
    --> New window
    Stereo bitrate: [a selection from from 16 to 320]

  • Does AAC Encoder apply when importing or when transfering to iPod?

    I have iTunes set to import using AAC Encoder. CD songs in the iTunes libary on my PC are m4a fles, while downloaded mp3 files remain as mp3 files.
    Are the mp3 songs converted to AAC when transferred onto my iPod? Or does the AAC Encoder only apply when importing into the libary on my PC, in which case why do mp3 files stay as mp3 files?
    Reason for asking is concern that converting from mp3 to AAC reduces sound quality.
    iPod   Other OS   60GB Video

    Graham,
    The import setting you select in your iTunes Preferences applies specifically to songs you add directly from a CD.
    It does not affect songs that are added to your library that are already mp3's (or any other format for that matter).
    Have a look at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301509
    When you synch the files to your iPod they will remain whatever they are in iTunes - nothing changes in the transfer.
    iTunes can convert files (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93123 if you're interested in details on that) but you are right, there is a loss of audio fidelity.

  • Font sizing and Encoding information are reset each time

    Peter,
    We've managed to reproduce the problem in-house. It doesn't seem to occur in Navigator, but does in IE. I suspect it may be a problem with IE, but I'm not sure. I've logged a bug and it will be looked at.
    Thanks for reporting it.

  • AAC Encoder Broken After Update to Quicktime 7.6

    I have iTunes 7.3.1.3 and Quicktime 7.3.1.70.
    After updating Quicktime to 7.60.92.0 every thing seemed fine. However, trying to import songs using the AAC encoder causes an error: "The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file".
    I can import songs using the other encoders just fine; it's just the AAC encoder that doesn't work. In fact, converting any existing library tracks with the AAC encoder causes this error - not just new new tracks.
    After a little web searching I found others with the same problem after updating to Quicktime 7.6.
    So I uninstalled Quicktime 7.6 and reinstalled Quicktime 7.3. Problem solved.
    Anyone else have this issue, especially updating to Quicktime 7.6 only with an earlier version of iTunes?
    I have never had an issue updating Quicktime separately from iTunes before.
    At this time I do not want the aggravation of updating iTunes too.

    Does it have to do with the fact that I installed quicktime 7 when I already had the 10.6.3 update?
    Yes. Install the update again or this software.

  • AAC encoder for XP

    Although i don't use iTunes to fill up my iPod, i do like the AAC encoding it does (maybe it's just subjective, but i think AAC sounds better than MP3..).
    Now my question: does anyone know a free, portable AAC encoder with cbbd capabilities?
    Thanks.

    As nobody else is willing to answer my question, I'm gonna do it myself:

  • Please prefix 'mp4:' to the stream name to record H264/AAC/HE-AAC encoded data at FMS using DVR...

    I was able to modify the main.asc file in the application/livepkgr directory to include:
    * DVRSetStreamInfo :
    * This prototype was created to allow DVR recording funtionality to FLME to FMS
    Client.prototype.DVRSetStreamInfo = function (info)
        var s = Stream.get( "mp4:" + info.streamname + ".f4v" ) ;
        if (s)
            if (info.append)
            s.record ("append") ;
            else
            s.record () ;
            s.play (info.streamname) ;
    I get three status messages in the FLME encoding log:
    Requested DVR command has been successfully issued to Primary FMS server for stream livestream1
    Requested DVR command has been successfully issued to Primary FMS server for stream livestream2
    Please prefix 'mp4:' to the stream name to record H264/AAC/HE-AAC encoded data at FMS using DVR feature
    Now I have a few issues:
    1. How to I fix the issue with the 3rd status message "Please prefix 'mp4:' to the stream name to record H264/AAC/HE-AAC encoded data at FMS using DVR feature" since the code above is prefixing the "mp4:" to the stream name.
    2. In the applications/livepkgr/streams directory there is a file called "undefined.f4v" which is telling me the code above isn't passing the info.streamname variable.
    3. Also, what do I need to do to playback this .f4v file. I've tried opening it with Adobe Media Player, but it doesn't recognize it.
    I'm obviously using multi-bitrate streaming and that is working flawlessly.  My goal is to record this livestream to later playback as an mp4 file.
    Any ideas?
    UPDATE:
    I know on page 15 of the FMS 4.5.1 developers guide, "Configure DVR (HDS)" under "Publish a DVR stream", it states "To Publish a DVR stream from FLME, DO NOT check Record OR check DVR Auto Record. Publish the stream just as you publish any live stream. In the next section "Play DVR streams" is states that I can use SMP (Stobe Media Playback), which I am.  So that brings up two more questions:
    1. Why is my SMP Player not displaying the DVR funtionality (See image):
    In my SMP configuration, my streamType is "LiveOrRecorded" - default. There is a streamType = "dvr", but will I lose live funtionality?
    2. If I want to later on, package the stream into an mp4 file and play it back later for those who missed the live stream, what is the best approach for that?
    Message was edited by: giostefani

    Two things: You need to have "DVRCast" application on server-side i.e. "dvrcast_origin" for DVR recording to work and secondly for mp4 recording your stream name should be "mp4:<streamname>.mp4" while publishing.

  • Zen doesn't play .m4a encoded with Nero AAC encoder = Creative, please create a firmware f

    The Zen doesn't play AAC encoded with Nero's AAC encoder, which is unfortunate since it's the best one out there. It does, however, support iTunes-encoded AAC. There was a brief discussion on it elsewhere, but I'd like to focus the discussion here on:. Request for firmware fix by Creative, so the Zen will read the files: ple2. A fix to get the files to play in the current firmware?Many of the references in this forum to wishlists, tools etc. are dead links, so hopefully?this thread will generate some answers for those of us out there with sizeable Nero AAC-encoded?music libraries.

    Very Good!!
    I'd just like to report that m4a files made with winamp and then repackaged with your application have a problem in fast forward and rewind. That is, (Sorry for my English, please try to understand) when you fast forward to a point, the player correctly jumps to the desired point, but, after that, the playback bar starts again from 00:00:00, even if the player is in the middle of the song.
    Anyway, this doesn't corrupt playback quality and doesn't create audio gaps; moreover, it just happens with the zen, while winamp works correctly.

  • About the AAC Encoder

    I chose to use the AAC encoder. But after I encode a song, it appears to be .m4a .I thought it should be .aac .What is happening?

    Nothing unusual: iTunes uses .m4a as extension for unprotected AAC files + .m4p for those that are purchased/protected.
