Nokia N91 Volume Output - need opinions ASAP -

Hi Everyone
i have owned the Sony Ericsson W810i for the last 2 weeks
i have now sent it back to 02 because im unhappy
the Audio quality is fantastic, but the volume output is NOT loud enough, does anyone know if the Nokia N91 is louder? and of equal or better Audio Quality?
my NEW N91 arrives on Monday, cant wait!
thanks

Ok, I feel like I should share some knowledge.
Loudness: This effect increases the bass response at low output volumes (it compresses the freq) so that the bass is better defined even in low volume conditions. At full volume it actually creates distortion.
Stereo Widening: Provides a sense of space by changing the phase of the analog signals.
Equalizer: Is used to change the gain of different frequecies to accomodate different tastes.
I have Senheisser PXC250 Noise cancelling and the HD485 (these are just awesome but the cable is too long)
I also have the PX200 that came in the bundle. These are good but lack some of the bass that the original Nokia earbuds have.
Also, keep in mind that the source digital file can have defects or artifacts that can create problems, depending on the codec used, the bitrate and how good the codec implementation is (did you adjust the digital gain or pass it through some form of DSP processing). Just saying is MP3 at 192 kbps may not tell us anything about the quality of the audio file. And then there is the source audio. THere are CDs and CDs, even if it's the same album/artist, there are different mixes, re-masterings and what not that will yield different results.
I've seen some files that seem to not play as good in N91 as others but when I re-ecode them they sound great.

Well first off you need to define what you mean by "better" if by better you mean best compression then this is the order:
eAAC+ (.m4a)
AAC (.aac or .m4a)
WMA
Mp4
Mp3
The "quality" needs to be depending on the bitrate but the bitrate depends on the encoder. E.G.
Mp3 at 192 kbps= AAC at 128 kbps= eAAC+ at 64 kbps
In terms of audio quality you can get higher quality by using WMA, AAC or eAAC+ at the same bitrate of the mp3.
Say you convert a song to mp3 at 192 kbps, if you convert the same song with AAC, WMA or eAAC+ at the same bitrate (192 kbps) then they will be better than the mp3 in terms of audio quality. Mind you, you need to have very good ear to pick up the difference.
When you go down lo lower bitrates say, 32 kbps. Then the difference is clearly heard.
Encode a song in mp3 and also in eAAC+ at 32 kbps, and have a listen, the eAAC+ file will sound much better, this is due to the better compression algorithm.
So what it means is that a file encoded into eAAC+ will have better audio when producing smaller files. When you go to high bitrates (like 192 kbps) the difference is not so noticeable.
As for tools. I use Windows Media Player 10 to encode into WMA or Mp3. I also use Audiograbber from time to time to encode to Mp3. I use iTunes for AAC. And if I want to get small files I use Nokia Music Manager to encode into eAAC+.Message Edited by el_loco on 14-Jun-2006

Nokia X3 Problem n need Solution

Nokia X3 Problem n need Solution :
the problem is,my nokia X3 ringtone sound so slow/soft...
n the keypad button sound more strong then ringtone sound,n two of them at the full volume...
but,i already put the volume to higher posible ( full volume )..

Some devices may need to have their software reset in order to see the latest benefits, or to resolve other potential problems. - Ensure you have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite. - Backup your device memory to your PC using Nokia PC Suite - Copy your files (music, videos, documents, images etc) from the Nokia N91 hard drive to your PC (use of USB mass storage recommended). - Copy any original SISX, Java, etc. installation files for your applications, themes, etc. from your Nokia N91 hard drive or memory card to your PC. (Do not simply copy over the installed directories/files.) - If your device has an internal hard drive, format your Nokia device’s hard drive by selecting Tools > Hard drive > Options > Format hard drive > Quick format (instructions are also in user the guide). - After the device has completely started up again, reset your device memory by selecting Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > General > Orig. Phone Settings and entering 12345. - Restore your device memory from your PC using Nokia PC Suite by selecting Backup from the PC Suite menu and then selecting Restore. - Copy any hard drive or memory card contents from your memory card or PC back to your clean hard drive or memory card. - Re-install your applications/themes.

A Nokia N95 owner who just bought a Nokia N91 aswe...

Hi guys
popped out last night and met a guy off of Ebay, he had a brand new unused Nokia N91 with Version 2 Firmware, he got it as a replacement handset from his 02 insurance and then 2 weeks later he got a Nokia N95
i gave him £110 for it and im pleased with it, stll had the label on the screen! Result!!
i couldnt stand the lack of volume and audio quality while playing MP3`s on my N95, i wll still use my N95 as my main phone but have put a pay as you go simcard in the N91 and will use as a spare mobile whenever i go on a long trip
why is the N91 just so much better at playing MP3`s?
its louder, better sound quality etc
i feel like i been duped getting the N95 when it should have been as good for playing Music
so far the N91 hasnt crashed or rebooted or any of the problems that i had with my previous ones that i sent back with HD problems
anyone else done the same as me?

N91 is better in the audio department.
N91 has higher output power
N91 has better frequency response (from very low frequencies to very high)
N91 has better SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio, also because it has more output power)
N91 has better THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
N91 has better response at very low frequencies (10-80 Hz range) thus is much better at outputing bass (not through the internal speaker but through the 3.5 mm connector)
N91 has better playback time.
N91 comes with 4GB or 8GB.
I have played with both the N91 and the N95, don't get me wrong, the N95 is not bad, but the N91 is better (WRT audio).
Of course the technical differences in the end mean nothing and unless you really want the best sounding device, then N95 may be good enough for you.
The N91 is not fragile, but it doesn't 'like' some of the third party apps. and that's when you start having probs.

N91 Volume Issue / Gizmo

Hi there,
My Nokia N91 is very low on voulme when calling people, even when I raise the volume to the max. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe download an application to boost caller volume?
And has anyone got Gizmo to work on the N91? I got as far as signing op, then it says it can't connect to the network.
All help is appreciated.
Greets!
It looks bad. But we should be able to complete our mission if we just keep the calm, like the beautiful Mediterranean Beever fish...

Which audio is low?, the audio YOU hear or the audio the other party hears?
IF it's the audio YOU hear, have you tried using headphones?, is the audio also low on headphones?, have you tried using the Loudspeaker (speakerphone) is the audio also low that way?
If it's the audio the other party hears then you could have a problem with your microphone. Try using the remote (which contains a microphone) or using a BT headset to see if it improves. IF it does then you may need to send the phone in to have the slide replaced (get a new microphone).
If none of these options work and the audio is still low, then it could be a network issue or someone is losing their hearing

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

Nokia N91 phone memory problem

I have owned this Nokia N91 for a year and 9 months. Phone memory is a problem as i cannot recieve any messages. The message, not enough memory to recieve message(s), delete some data. I have taken absolutely everything off the phone memory except messages, contacts, and calender data, yet i still have something taking up 14 of my 15MB's of memory. What can i do as i can't recieve any messages. I have tried allocating messaging memory to the hard drive but i am presented with the same problem. Please help as i need to keep this phone working till May.

I can't get volume on Main Output to work correctly with controllers on my keyboard. It's either all on or all off. Works fine for individual instruments (thought it lumps them all together) but not for main volume output on concert. Thanks for any help.

All this sounds like you are confused about the general nature of MIDI Continuous Controllers (MIDI CC). The MIDI specification allows for 128 different CC's: CC0 to CC127. Some are typically "preallocated" to 'standard functions: CC1= Modulation, CC7=Volume, CC10+Pan, CC11= 'Expression'. Some act as switches such as 'Sustain' CC64.
frodojon wrote:
Everything appears to be scaled from -63 to +64 if that's what you mean by scaling? What do you mean by MIDI CC7?
Mainstage works with MIDI CC's generally in a number of ways:
Some standard ones are automatically passed through to all MIDI/Instrument channels unless you specifically block them. Others are not passed through unless you specifically map them to something.
This mapping can be done basically two ways (with MS 2.2):
a) Make a Screen Control in Layout mode, and assign it to a particular incoming MIDI CC message. Then, you can map this Screeen Control to a variety of parameters such as the volume of a particular channel strip.
b) With MS 2.2, you can do the above Assign and Mapping directly, without the need for Screen Controls as an 'intermediary'.
frodojon wrote:

Yes.
It sounds to me like you have an issue where you have several hardware controls on your Keyboard set up to transmit the same MIDI CC. This is probably not a good idea, and it would be much better if you assigned them to transmit different CC messages (CC1 for Modulation and probably CC11 for the Expression (though you may want to set the pedal to some other number instead.
Once you are transmitting different CC messages, you will be able to Assign and Map much more flexibly:
for example, you could one to control the overall output volume at Concert Level in MS, whilst the other controls the volume of a specific channel within a Patch.
Your issue of layered patches is one of "Scaling": one Screen Control (assigned to an incoming MIDI CC message) needs to alter the ranges of different channel strips to different amounts. You can set this up by using multiple mappings for one Control, each set to work over a particular range (for example a goes from -20 to 0 whilst b goes from -30 to -20 etc.).

A question to Nokia N91 owners/ex owners...

Having the Nokia N91 years back, I loved the audio quality and the shaking bass effect from the standard earphones (Nokia Music Headset HS-28, AD-36) however I am looking at getting some good earphones for the Nokia N8 and I was thinking of the:
Sennheiser CX 500
Was wondering if anyone used the CX500 and how is the bass effect/quality compared to the standard Nokia N91 earphones. Can anybody point out a good earphones that have the same or much better bass reproduction than the standard Nokia headset that is cheap. Looking for something around £15 - £30 Max.

All down to personal taste, I had N91 and sound was great I use Sony MDR-EX300SL which I find give good sound in and keep most background sound OUT, and they would fit your budget
I'm sure you'll get some better expert opinions, but they are good enough for my ears

What's the bad part? Multiple drives or RAID'ing them?
The bad part that Jim refers to is RAID 0-ing them: If only one of those drives goes bad, all of the data on both or all of the drives in that volume get permanently and irrecoverably lost (unless one wants to spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per disk just for professional data recovery).
On the other hand, the only major disadvantage of multiple smaller drives is that they tend to cost more money overall than one larger drive. What's more, some of the smaller-capacity drives are still of older platter layout designs that are significantly slower in sequential speed than most of the larger-capacity drives (and even those that spin at only 5400 RPM instead of 7200 RPM).

Low volume output through earphone from ipad air, itouch 4 and itouch 5 comparing to previous models

Has any body noticed that the latest iPad and i touch (i e from 4th generation onward) purchased from India (I don't know about other countries) has less volume output in earphones/headphones as compared to the old generations...
This is because i had to replace 2 i touch (i e 4th gen and 5th gen) for the same problem.
Now also when i purchased an iPad air WiFi cellular am facing the same problem.
I am buying an apple product for music and videos preferably but at last get disappointed due to your same defective products.
Has apple lowered their status of music and video for which they were famous.
Anyone help me out there for this problem.
Tell me solution excluding
1.To turnoff volume limit
2. reset all settings
3.make some changes in equalizer
4.restore factory settings and
5. increase volume level from iTunes..
All the above mentioned solutions i have tried nothing has solve my problem..
If apple does manufacture such product with less volume than the previous version then please tell us. We will buy product of another brand. Apple its a major issue. The only thing that this issue has not been discussed so much because most of the people do not hear at the max level.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

I keep losing volume output from one of my tracks (Strings) in GarageBand. The volume has gone completely from the whole track when I send the song to iTunes-can you help?

I keep losing volume output from one of the Tracks from my Song Project. The Strings volume, at first, was there but, when I sent the Song to my iTunes Library the strings volume was absent. Can any help? I've experience this before on another project, where for some unknown reason I've lost the Orchestral Choir volume. Sometimes, if the volume on a track disappears, I close everything down & then restart-this temporarily sorts it out but losing a track in the final mix is a different problem...please help!
Many thanks!!
