Has the sound quality improved with the new ipods?

i have a new 80 gig ipod that sounds much better then the one i bought 3 years ago.
did apple improve the sound quality?

The audio quality has improved as Apple have been using different processors in the newer 5G iPods. I have noticed an increase in quality, however, a lot of people have also said the quality has deteriorated but I believe its up to the individuals perspective.

  • Why has the new ipod nano no connector for a speaker dock?  The white blank at the bottom looks as if one was intended, but then there were design problems?

  • Has GB sound quality improved?

    I am trying to determine why my garageband mix sounds so good all of a sudden. Four things were done recently:
    *I cleared some space on my hardrive, allowing more scratch space.
    *I updated Quicktime 7
    *Recorded my mix without monitoring or reverb
    *I locked tracks as I went along, keeping the moving triangle in the white.
    What I am noticing is a marked difference in sound quality. No rice crispies, crystal clear grand piano, Extraordinary guitar and harp sounds. All in all it just seems as if Garageband really came alive.
    I am wondering if the new updates had anything to do with it and if others are noticing this as well. Perhaps I am finally learning to use this program correctly. : )
    Anybody else noticing a difference since January's updates?

    Kurt I bet the biggest change to the sound of your mix is probably the removal of Reverb. Quincy Jones is notorious for going around an audio mix turning off the reverb on many of the tracks. To me reverb on many tracks can start to add a lot of simulated reflective type information in a mix and that can begin to confuse the ear with a lot of underlying reflective type cues.
    You may also be correct about your suspicions concerning GB's reverb quality. I have noticed that when I use Apples GB reverb and then use a compressor on the output of the Master track I begin to hear Rice Krispy type of distortions even though I am not pushing my individual track output or my Master track output.
    And it could also be that GB's built in Reverb is garbage and dirties the signal in some way, that is a suspicion I have myself. When I use other third party AU's for reverb it seems to sound much clean and less "thick and heavy".
    What update are you talking about? Is it for GB2 or do you mean GB3 as an update?
    I have GB2 version 2.02, is there something higher?

  • The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?

    The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic, used in the new 4s has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip found in the 4 and 3G.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?
    The new chip is very compressed and has hissing artifacts.  It sacrifices sound quality for reduced energy consumption.  This is a problem for me because I am building a musical instrument app that is adversly affected by the new cirrus logic chip.  Audio fidelity is suffering.
    Is there any chance for a software/driver tweak of this chip, or my I please request an improvement on the next iphone model?

  • Has anyone tried syncing the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11?

    I know the "official" Apple spec's state the new iPod Touch 4 are
    for it to sync with OS 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10 .... but has anyone been
    successful in using the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1?

    Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
    The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano

  • The new ipod touch will have Siri with the A5 chip. Since the ipad 2 also has the A5, will the ipad 2 finally get Siri??

    The new ipod touch will have Siri with the A5 chip. Since the ipad 2 also has the A5, will the ipad 2 finally get Siri??

    It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X

  • I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

    I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

    That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
    You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
    Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

  • Is the new Ipod Touch 5g compatible with all of the ios 6 features and is the new Ipod have the exact same design as the Iphone 5 for example square sides, instead of curving sides?

    Does the new Ipod have the same features as the Iphone 5 in terms of panorama, or like the new Isight camera? Like the same features/ design?

    it is compatible with most iOS 6 things, the main difference is just the fact that it doesn't have 3G or 4G, which limits how much it can use Siri or Maps.
    it does have panorama, and a 5 MP iSight camera. the design is different. it is a lot thinner, it has curved edges, and at no part of the side is it flat, same for the top and bottom. that is NOT the case for iPhone. also the iPod doesn't have a mic. on the front.
    hope this answered your question.
    just remember this for iOS 6: pretty much everything that doesn't always require internet the iPod can do. if it is something liketurn by turn direction, unless you have wi-fi in car, it wont work.
    if you need siri for anything outside of wifi, unless it's something on the hard drive itslef, i.e. setting up reminders, it wont work for thing such as facebook posts, looking for restaurants, etc.

  • Do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.  Apple will replace the battery for $79.  A third-party place like the folloing may be less expensive.  Google for more places.

  • I got a new e-mail address and I reset my iPod so it already has the new email address. I can't seem to change the address on my iPad or iPhone. Please help me change the address on all my devices!

    I got a new email address and I reset the iPod so it already has the new address. I can't seem to change the address on my iPhone5 or iPad. So please help! How do I change the address for my apple ID and icloud on all my devices? I don't want to reset my iPad and phone just to set new email address I can't do updates without the password and I have forgotten my password for my old email address. Please Help! Getting frustarted!

    If the old ID ("email address") is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Has anyone verified jdk1.3.1_19 has the new DST rule as Sun advertizes?

    Hi Everyone,
    Has anyone verified that jdk1.3.1_19 does not actually have the new Daylight saving time rule mandated by Congress starting 2007 although Sun claims that it does? I tried jdk1.3.1_18 and jdk1.3.1_19. They do not have the new DST rule. I tried jdk1.4.1_11 and it has the new DST rule. Could anyone enlighten me about jdk1.3.1_18(19) if you know about the DST issue with these two JVM's? Thanks.
    Alan Lei

    We have legacy code running on legacy platforms that cannot be just retired unfortunately. It would be great if we could simply eliminate it overnight. The following is the code that I used to gauge whether the JVM has the new DST rule.
    int year = 2007;
    int month =10;
    int dateOfMonth = 1;
    int hour = 1;
    int minute = 0;
    GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, dateOfMonth, hour, minute);
    Date date = gc.getTime();
    System.out.println("displayed name=" + timeZone.getDisplayName() +
    " dst?=" + timeZone.useDaylightTime() +
    " date=" + date.toString() +
    " in dst?=" + timeZone.inDaylightTime(date));

  • I purchased my daughter the new ipod. I downloaded the latest version of itunes and after syncing the new ipod, I was unable to get the majority of my songs. They all appear with an exclamation point. Even the ones purchased on itunes. Why?

    I purchased my daughter the new ipod. I downloaded the latest version of itunes. After syncing the ipod, all my songs appear grayed out. They have an exclamation point next to them. Even the ones I purchased from itunes. How do I get my songs back?

    Usually, the exclamation mark tells you that the song was not where the program expected to find it. It may also mean that there was an error with the file itself.
       If you click on the exclamation mark, it may give you a reason. You can also double click the file to make it play. If the file is not found, it will tell you. Just follow the prompts to look for the song again. It will ask you if you want to look for the other missing songs in the same folder. You can do it, but unfortunately, the last few updates have made the program blind to the songs that are there and you sometimes have to do the same process for each song.
       If neither of these help, I would suggest starting from scratch and reinstalling iTunes. I have had to do that before. Do your best to back up the library and such first.
       Sometimes a computer will rename a hard disk (Windows) and all the songs on that disk will be gone to iTunes because it will think it's looking in the right place. It can't recognize that the hard disk or partition has been renamed.
    I know that this is a podcast, but the principle is the same. A dialogue box should pop up to tell you just what the problem is.
       I hope this helps!

  • Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1.  This is the highest version that works on this device.  I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
    Apple does make it harder than it needs to be.  There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
    App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

  • Will the new ipod touch work with ipod touch 4 cases

    hi im new to this and im just wondering if the new ipod touch will work with an ipod 4 case

    There are no hardware differences, just color and price, at least as far as anyone has been able to determine, so any existing case for the 4th-generation iPod touch (the just-announced unit still being 4th-generation, really) should be fine.
    Regards.
