Create new version..create AAC version. Does it really convert 128kbs to 256kbs?

Does creating a new version of a song really convert it from 128kbs to 256? How does it do this? Is it the same quality as importing straight to 256 AAC?

Joe,
Yes, when you use "Create XXX Version," the resulting file will have the format and bitrate specified in your Import Preferences.  If you are using the default setting, the result will be AAC/256 no matter what you started with.
As Niel notes, the conversion process does not have the ability to improve the audio quality of the original, so all you would be getting is a puffed up version with the same quality.

  • Which is Better?: Add to multiprovider; Create new ODS; Create new Cube

    Which is a better choice:
    Add to multiprovider; create additional ODS; create additional Cube?
    I have this data flow: 5 ODSes which are aggregated into a single Cube1. A multiprovider then sits on the Cube1. I run Report1 against the multiprovider and from the output, I want to jump (through a jump query) to a much more detailed report.
    (information from the different 5 ODSes will be coming together to make a meaning record in the detailed report)
    Which of these will be the best modeling approach at this point:
    1. Bring in all the detail level information in the 5 ODSes into the multiprovider and create the detail report (against the multiprovider).
    2. Create a new ODS and bring in all the detail information from the 5 ODSes into this new ODS_6 and create the detail report against this newly combined ODS_6?
    3. Create new Cube2 and bring in all the detail information from the 5 ODSes into this single cube and create the detail report against this newly combined Cube? i.e. without bringing Cube 2 in the multiprovider.
    a) Which of these options is the typical thing to do?
    b) From performance point of view, which one is better? Any reasons?
    c) Do you have a better recommendation to get my report based on the original multiprovider; as well as get the detail (through the jump query)?
    Thanks

    Everything is based on how much data you are reading.
    Remember: the first and second options are slower because even if you are creating query against the Multiprovider in the first option, both options read directly from the ODS. Technically, ods is not optimized for reporting (reading). ODS is just like a normal relational database table, unless you use the key to read data from, it is very slow (everything  is not indexed).
    Option 3, is much better in respect of design and performance. Reason, cube support multidimensional analysis, where all char is related with SID which is being generated automatically which increases performance.
    My recommendation:
    Create another ods (combine all the other ODSes) just like you did in option two, and push summarized data in the cube and detail data in this ods. Write a report again the cube when needed jump to the ods.
    Hope that helps.
    thanks.

  • How to create new schema or restore on full version from 11g xe backup.

    hi,
    the situation is i get bakup of  a 11g xe installation at remote place and i have to restore only one schema out of it into
    a running enterprise version of oracle database.
    please tel me how many ways i can transfer one schema to full version of oracle.
    i know one way is to export import schema from one data base to other.
    please tel me is there any other ways to do it. which  is better, if not better then at least it should be practical.
    --i want that same schema be present at both places and when ever i get backup from xe it will be resorted on existing schema in full version of oracle
    --or i am ready to create new schema at full version from backup of xe installation also,optionally if i can restore on it, than it will be comfortable for me.
    note: schema at both end will be same.
    afteter

    1)can exported schem from xe be imported on full oracle ( enterprise standerd etc ,that is the paid one) ?
    2)i thought , people will say when u have bakup use bakup, it is more practical than using export import.
    this is where we need help.people who are working in oracle they can help us in deciding.

    in my photo album, it only shows camera rolls,i would like ti create new photo album. It does not show photo library below the camera rolls.

    Hi
    It's just simple as creating an event/album in the iPhoto, with the photos you would like to have in your iPhone.
    Then, on iTunes you chose to synchronise with the iPhone that specific photo event/albun, instead of all the library.
    And that's it!

  • Create new OAMIDAsserter

    Hi everybody,
    I have an issue with new OAM Identity Asserter creation in Weblogic security Realm, it doesn't offer me the possibility to provide values neither in Common or Provider specific tab corresponding to this auth provider.
    Meaning I am able to create OAMIDAsserter, after providing the name and provider type, but then when click on it for edit I cannot see any fields in those 2 tabs.
    Do you have any idea what would be the cause?
    I haven't had this problem till I removed this OIMIDAsserter from providers list and then added it back to the list.

  • What does "file create new version" do

    What does the menu selection File --> Create new Version do?
    How are the selections activated (not greyed out)?
    Create iPod or iPhone Version
    Create iPad or Apple TV Version
    Create AAC Version
    Any ideas? There no mention in the tutorial.

    The first two options are for converting video into resolutions compatible with the device.
    The third one is to create new versions of audio files, The type of conversion is controlled in Preferences.
    Click on the import settings and choose the encoder and quality. the create version then may change to create mp3 version etc
    The encoders are
    AAC Encoder
    AIFF Encoder
    MP3 Encoder
    WAV Encoder

  • ITunes 12 has no option to create AAC version

    iTunes 12.0.1.26
    iOS 8.0.2 (12A405) on associated iPhone 5S
    Win7 Home Prem SP1
    Core i7-4700MQ 4xcore CPU @ 2.4 GHz
    129 GiB free on bootable C partition (SSD); 509 GiB free on data partition (conventional magnetic HDD)
    I make original ringtones. I just created a new one, imported it to my iTunes library first as an mp3, then as a wav file. When I right-click the associated file in either its mp3 version or wav version, the "Create AAC Version" selection in the context menu no longer appears, not even as a greyed out item, even though "Create MP3 Version" does appear.
    Are .m4r files still the native ringtone format for iOS 8? Has the procedure for creating ringtones changed?

    In Preferences (CTRL + ,), in the General tab, click on Import Settings...
    You need to select AAC Encoder in the Import Using drop down menu.
    Now Create AAC Version should appear in your right-click context menu.

  • "create aac version" only makes another .m4a file...

    I am trying to use the "Create AAC Version" (right click on album) to create some files for playing in the car. When I select that option in the dropdown I find iTunes does indeed create a copy of the songs on the album but the file extension is duplicated to .m4a (same as original) and not .acc
    Would appreciate any insight into what's going on here or what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks!

    m4a is aac, it's just Apple's way of naming it.  Change the extension to .aac if your car demands it but I am not sure how iTunes will react.  If it is tons of files you can probably find an online bulk re-namer (I use a free one but they charge for it now with newer OSX versions).

  • Aperture creating new version of image for each adjustment applied!

    To anyone out there who can sort this one out, I will be forever grateful!
    Here's the problem. I'll be jamming away in Aperture, adjusting photos like a madman. After adjusting a random number of photos (it usually varies between 5-30 photos or so after starting Aperture each time), the adjustments panel will no longer update when I click on a new image (i.e. it holds the info from the last image I adjusted and will continue to apply new adjustments to that last image even if another image is highlighted). If I switch to the metadata panel and then back to adjustments it will refresh itself and recognize the currently selected image (although I have to do this for EACH image I want to adjust once it starts acting up like this). The BIG problem is that even if I get the adjustments panel to recognize the selected image at this point, for EACH adjustment I apply it makes a new version of the image. For example, if I first change the contrast, it will make Version 2 of the image and select it (which is what it's supposed to do for the first adjustment, because I have "create new versions when making adjustments" checked in my preferences), but if I then make another adjustment like changing the saturation, it makes Version 3 of the image (from the master, so that only the saturation adjustment is applied and not the contrast adjustment). As you can imagine, this utterly destroys my once incredibly efficient Aperture workflow and makes it pretty much impossible to use Aperture for adjustments unless I turn off "create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences, at which point it does seem to work again (although I've only tried it on a few images, so not 100% sure it will work properly even then). If I restart Aperture (or my computer), it will work normally again for a few pictures and then will start acting up again with the same problem.
    Originally I was running into this problem on my PowerBook G4, and so I figured it was just because Aperture didn't like my wussy G4 processor and was acting up when the load got too heavy (after all, the adjustments would work fine for up to 30 images or so). However I recently purchased a sexy iMac 24" 2.8 GHz and maxed out the RAM to 4GB, but I'm still getting the same darned problem with Aperture on my iMac. Yes, I'm using the same library of photos I was using on my PowerBook G4.
    This problem has been plaguing me for about 3 months now (everything else in Aperture works fine so I'm still using it to import and organize my photos, I just haven't been able to make adjustments on large groups of pictures for a while), and I've searched and searched these forums countless times to see if anyone has run into similar problems, but I've not seen a single mention of it. I've also tried EVERYTHING mentioned for similar problems (rebuilding library, vacuuming database, erasing com.apple.aperture.plist preference file, repairing permissions, reinstalling Aperture, making burnt offerings to Steve Jobs), and NOTHING is working. ARRGH!!
    For those who might have some words of wisdom to offer this delighted-***-miserably frustrated Aperture user, here are a few more details about my setup:
    I have a library of about 37,000 photos, the vast majority of them being RAW .CRW files from a Canon 10D. The 25GB library file is stored on my internal hard drive, and all photos are referenced from an external LaCie 500GB FireWire 400 hard drive. I have a LOT of export plug-ins installed in Aperture, but no image adjustment plugins. I have generated previews turned off for all projects. I've had the same problem on both my PowerBook G4 and new iMac 24" 2.8 GHz. One other thing worth mentioning is that instead of upgrading from 2.1 (which was already giving me this problem) to 2.1.2, I downloaded the full version of 2.1.2 and installed it. I noticed that my 2.1 Aperture.app file was less than 100MB, whereas the 2.1.2 Aperture.app file is over 300MB. Don't know if that's normal or not.
    The only other thing I can think of to try at this point is to load a new library into Aperture and import a large group of pictures and make adjustments to them to potentially see if my problem is being caused by Aperture or by the library. Will probably try that tomorrow.
    I would appreciate any advice or feedback anyone can offer about this nasty little problem, as it's giving me a serious hormonal imbalance.
    THANKS!

    Thanks for the reply RB, but my current workflow depends on me creating new versions when I make adjustments. I suppose as a temporary solution I will probably have to either turn this preference off or just be willing to constantly restart Aperture. At least I finally found another thread with the same problem, so finally I don't feel completely alone in the far reaches of the Aperture universe. For anyone who is interested, here is the link to that thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8555067
    It appears this problem is closely related to the ubiquitous black viewer problem that seems to be plaguing far more users than my issue (although I've run into the black viewer problem a few times myself), as both problems force Aperture to output the following message to Console:
    Main Thread Exception in Aperture: * -NSCFArray objectAtIndex:: index (1) beyond bounds (1)
    It seems that both of these problems existed in Aperture 1 and 1.5 up until the 1.5.6 upgrade which seems to have fixed it, but then with Aperture 2 the problem seems to have returned. At least that's the gist of what I've been reading on a number of threads. Whatever the case, I hope Apple gets this sorted out in their next update!
    As it appears there is no proper answer to this problem at the moment, I'm gonna go ahead and mark this thread answered (and since you were kind enough to at least take the time to reply RB, you can be credited with the answer... thanks!).
