Best Audio Encoder for Java???

In my program, I can only play .au files in Java.. I have a few .wavs that I would like to incorporate into my program, but I need to change them into .au . Ive tried using COOL EDIT PRO 2 and SOUND FORGE 6.0 to open up the .wavs, then save them as .au .. I run my Java program, but an error comes up saying INVALID ENCODING and INVALID FILE TYPE.. Does anyone have a solution for this frustrating problem I have? It's very urgent and I need your help, thanks...

It took me 4 clicks and 12 keystrokes to find this.

How to set default audio device for java apps on Linux?

I would like to find a way to choose a particular (ALSA) audio device for java applications. How can this be done without reprogramming the application or changing the default ALSA device? I came across "sound.properties", but could not find any information how to use this file on an ALSA system.
Thanks for any help, Mark

We can't satisfy everyone. What you want is a corner case. For most people ALSA and dmix works appropriately, and that is what esd uses by default. We cannot document and automate every configuration possible. That's up to the users.
However, if you don't want to restart gnome, try the below... I make a few assumptions, but even if they're wrong, they're hardly difficult to work around.
Just copy the /etc/esd.conf to ~/.esd.conf, make your change, then do killall esd. Presumably gnome will restart esd, and it ought to read your local config. If it doesnt, start it yourself.
Feel free to write a script that automates this, or document it on the wiki.
I have to restart Gnome to get this thing working. Other OSes *automatically* can use an alternative device. But if I change ESD, I will have to restart Gnome, no?
Well, if you try my suggestion above, no. You can restart esd yourself. And that's what all the other distros do, except with some fancy GUI.

Finding a Gif Encoder for Java Advanced Imaging (JAI)

I'm trying to find the GIF encoder for Java Advanced Imaging. I keep reading all over the place that there is one, but for the life of me I can't figure out where it is supposed to be. Could anyone please enlighten me?
Thanks

After I installed this, it still doesn't report gif as a possible encoding type:
String[] codecs = ImageCodec.getEncoderNames(img, null);
            for (int j = 0; j < codecs.length; j++) {
                String codec = codecs[j];
                System.out.println (codec);
            }only reports the following types available:
pnm
jpeg
tiff
png
bmp

Best audio format for recording speech?

Hello everybody,
I was wondering which audio format (encoding, sample rate, sample size) is considered best for recording speech in regard of memory usage and perceptible/acceptable quality loss.
What do you suggest, what are your experiences, what reasons can you state?
Thanks!

I finally found something:
[sample rate for speech|http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Sample_Rates#32_kHz_.2F_14.5_kHz]
[bit depth|http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Bit_Depth#16_Bit]
I know audacity is not an application based on the java sound api but these wiki articles provide good common information on signal processing.
According to the article I believe 32kHz ist the optimal sample rate for recording speech. But I still don't feel satisfied by the information given about the bit depth. I think 8 bit is too low but 16 bit (CD quality) might be too sumptuous. Unfortunately the quality I can record with is limited my recording and output hardware so it might become hard for me to top that out. Maybe someone can help.
Is it true, that the encoding can be customized with codecs by extending the audio service provider? How would something like that work?

What are Best Practice Recommendations for Java EE 7 Property File Configuration?

Where does application configuration belong in modern Java EE applications? What best practice(s) recommendations do people have?
By application configuration, I mean settings like connectivity settings to services on other boxes, including external ones (e.g. Twitter and our internal Cassandra servers...for things such as hostnames, credentials, retry attempts) as well as those relating business logic (things that one might be tempted to store as constants in classes, e.g. days for something to expire, etc).
Assumptions:
We are deploying to a Java EE 7 server (Wildfly 8.1) using a single EAR file, which contains multiple wars and one ejb-jar.
We will be deploying to a variety of environments: Unit testing, local dev installs, cloud based infrastructure for UAT, Stress testing and Production environments. **Many of our properties will vary with each of these environments.**
We are not opposed to coupling property configuration to a DI framework if that is the best practice people recommend.
All of this is for new development, so we don't have to comply with legacy requirements or restrictions. We're very focused on the current, modern best practices.
Does configuration belong inside or outside of an EAR?
If outside of an EAR, where and how best to reliably access them?
If inside of an EAR we can store it anywhere in the classpath to ease access during execution. But we'd have to re-assemble (and maybe re-build) with each configuration change. And since we'll have multiple environments, we'd need a means to differentiate the files within the EAR. I see two options here:
Utilize expected file names (e.g. cassandra.properties) and then build multiple environment specific EARs (eg. appxyz-PROD.ear).
Build one EAR (eg. appxyz.ear) and put all of our various environment configuration files inside it, appending an environment variable to each config file name (eg cassandra-PROD.properties). And of course adding an environment variable (to the vm or otherwise), so that the code will know which file to pickup.
What are the best practices people can recommend for solving this common challenge?
Thanks.

HI Bob,
As sometimes when you create a model using a local wsdl file then instead of refering to URL mentioned in wsdl file it refers to say, "C:\temp" folder from where you picked up that file. you can check target address of logical port. Due to this when you deploy application on server it try to search it in "c:\temp" path instead of it path specified at soap:address location in wsdl file.
Best way is re-import your Adaptive Web Services model using the URL specified in wsdl file as soap:address location.
like http://<IP>:<PORT>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<xirequest>
or you can ask you XI developer to give url for webservice and username password of server

Best Export/Encode for 1080p HDTV Display?

I'm looking for today's best practice for encoding an animation that will be looping on a 1080p HDTV panel at an event.
Which codec & container, bitrate etc. is the best for quality, yet reasonable file size? I want it to be as sharp as possible, but would like to keep the file under 1gb if possible.
My animation is 1080p 25fps, lots of imagery and some text, approx 1.5 minutes.
Thanks!

What device will be playing the file? Many TVs now have a USB port that will enable media playback from a thumb drive, or you could use a Western Digital WDTV device or similar media player.
There is no one-size-fits-all suggestion for the "best" results, however I would start with the H.264 format and then choose a preset to match your needs (1080p25). There are presets for AppleTV, YouTube, Vimeo, or just choose "HDTV 1080p25". The resulting file will have the .mp4 extension which is pretty universally accepted these days.
Thanks

Best Audio Interface for Macbook Pro

Hey I'm looking into getting a new Macbook and wondering what the best option for portable audio interfaces is... I know RME has a PCI card that might be able to work... I'd like to avoid using the firewire bus because I'd like to use FW drives fairly intensively for audio playback. But from what I have seen, it seems like the Express 34 audio interface is a rarity, with FW being the most common interface type.
I'm not interested in comments from users who only know and use one interface...but prefer rather comments from people who have compared or researched multiple choices.
Thank!

your question is easy to get lots of responses, but difficult to come up with any truths... mainly because much of this question is very very qualitatively different for different people.
where to start with some of the questions...
do you need low latency - do multi-track recordings, or simply audio down in independent takes?
how many channels do you need to record at any 1 time?
here are some of the items that i have been looking at, personally...
Grace Design Lunatec V3 - with toslink optical digital option.
http://www.gracedesign.com/products/V3/lunatecV3.htm
can be battery powered. great preamps and A/D converter. no integrated monitoring option. only does 2 channels. the MBP has an optical digital input, so the optional optical output model could be hooked up directly to the MBP without any intermediate interface
Apogee Mini-Me USB option
http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/miniseries.php
can be battery powered. great preamps and A/D converter. integrated monitoring option. only does 2 channels and up to 48KHz sampling rate. built in compression / limiting can be useful to some, but not others.
Apogee also has the firewire option card coming up and the reason that I suggested the Mini-Me with USB option vs. FW, is that you could also get a Mini-DAC equipped with FW and then when you need to, can plug the digital output of the Mini-Me into the Mini-DAC and use the FW interface (with up to 96k up / 192k down) to the computer... so would basically have the choice of USB or FW with this combo.
obviously the above options are very limited and hardly qualify as "interfaces" in the traditional sense, unless you have very minimal I/O requirements, but my application requires only 2 channels and battery power for me is a must.
my idea of portable might also be different than yours. that expresscard solution looks good if you can afford it.

Help!!! The best audio interface for Logic Studio

Hey y'all,
I'm looking for an audio interface. Requirements are: microphone- (XLR), instrument- (1/4") and midi-connectors. I'd like to record everything 1 by 1 all by myself, without audio playback/slowing-down issues. I'm quite new with recording and have no idea which one suits my system and software the best. I want to record as easy as possible and with the most beautiful results available. Price range of up to €500.
My MacBook Pro:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Geheugen 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
My software: Logic Studio
Thanks!

If Midi connectivity is important: Focusrite Saffire 6 (USB). Check out the User Guide:
http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_6_usb/
Otherwise, I would strongly recommend Mackie's Onyx Blackjack, especially when also out gigging. Check out the product page and you can also download an Owner's Manual:
http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxblackjack/
I use the Mackie . User Guides/Manuals are a great way of checking out detail about a product when deciding what to buy.
I thought that Sennheiser were well known for headphones, not microphones.

Hi everyone, i have a vixia hf r42 camcoder with an external mic and i wante dto knwo the best settings for the audio on the camcorder.I will be recording marching bands so the sound will be pretty loud.Thanks for all and any help.

Hi aj27801!
Thank you for the post.
There are some presets in the menu that help with different situations. You probably get the best results for what you will be recording by setting the Audio Scene to Music.
1. Touch to open the menu.
2. Select [Audio Scene].
3. Select [Music].

Question on best audio quality for web

I am making a web series and I want the audio to be the best it can be, I have already tried to output it as an H.264 but the audio levels are very low and the levels are off.
Any tips??

Do you know how to use soundtrack pro? you can use it to set your maximum level to -1 db, and then when you export your file from FCP, you'll have great levels for the web.

Video\Audio encoding in Java

Hi,
I need to write an application that will convert videos to different formats. Like: mov to mp4, flv to mp4, etc
Anybody know of java classes\libraries I could use to implement this?
Thanks!

How can I in the java class DYNAMICALLY set up the encoding so that the sysytem at the runtime will acccept the Cyrillic characters. Nonsensical. Java strings are unicode. Always. If you have a java string and you pass it to a java method it remains a java string.
And the Cyrillic characters are mapped into unicode. So a java string can certainly contain them.
Your problem probably lies either in getting Cyrillic into the string or setting up the "display" so it get displayed.
You first step should be in understanding that there is a difference between data (such as what is in a string) and display (what you see on a screen.) Data is always mapped when displayed. Understanding how that mapping occurs is important.

Best audio settings for DV6 2060EA

The sound is good , as I havent adjusted the IDT control panel, just wondered if it could be made better ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have the same laptop and sound is not bad. If you would like a better sound so use some external speakers. The internal speakers are designed only for a basic usage, not for High Definition. To get a good sound performance you need to use powerful external speakers..
edit: To get some sound settings go to:
Start-Control Panel-Hardware and Sound-Change system sounds-click on Speakers and Dual Headphones, choose properties-Enhancement and Advanced. There you can get some changes..
edit2: I use default settings because it seems to be the best sound..
