Siri sounds different to my friends

I had my ipad repaired at a shop, and since then he sounds really weird

Go to settings>Siri>Off. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Siri>on. See if that makes a difference.
If it didn't - Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that didn't work, You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

Female US English voice of Siri sounds different in iOS 8.1.3

Has anyone noticed how Siri sounds more robotic now?
I have tested all the voices, and every one of them has the same expressiveness/tones/friendliness, whatever word you want to use. The one voice that doesn't anymore, is the US English female voice. It doesn't say "Brrr" the same way anymore, and it just responds flatly when you ask it to do different taks now, like text someone, email a person, perform a command, etc. If anyone else has noticed this let me know. I'm blind and use Siri every day, I know something is up. Thanks,
Josh

Why does siri sound different all of a sudden?

So I'm currently using a Verizon iPhone 5s and got it about 2 weeks ago. When I first used siri she had more of a fluent human like voice but now she sounds robotic, like how when the iPhone 4s came out with siri she sounded robotic.

There could be a number of reasons, first thing to check is if you are clicking Command + or Command -. The Command 0 keystrokes restore Safari to the actual size. You can also reset Safari by Safari - Reset.

Why Does Siri Sound fast/robotic?

I notice that with iOS7 that Siri sounds different on TV ad's and videos online, but after I updated mind does sound different but robotic, works fine and only after I bought a used iPhone 4s from a work friend and setup for my Mom to use as an iPOD her Siri voice sounds so much BETTER... like non-robotic and more natural voice, both are different from iOS6 but my phone is different not natural, I seen many posting about this problem but no real fix.
I have Apple Care and before I call or visit a store I thought ill post this?
Thanks

Hey appleab,
Great question. I believe the following article addresses your concerns:
iOS: Understanding Siri and VoiceOver voices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5025
Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for both Siri and VoiceOver. After you have configured a Wi-Fi network and have the device connected to a power source, iOS will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice.
Siri
1. Go to Settings > General > Siri > Language.
2. Select the Language and Voice Gender* you want to use.
Note: If you change the language or gender for Siri, the new enhanced-quality voice will need to download.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Audio sounds different since 8.1 update

My concern is with a HP Envy Touchsmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook. I don't use this laptop for too much because I mainly do light schoolwork on this and leave most of my other tasks to my more powerful notebooks. I first noticed something different since i left this at a friends house and his little bro managed to update this to windows 8.1. Luckily, none of my work was affected but i immiediatly noticed a difference in sound( i am very "attuned" to sounds i guess) and it just did'nt sound the same. I checked the settings and equalizers and everything was set exactly how i had it. I know the built in speakers are already bad but when i hook it up to speakers, it also sounds different and my friend agrees with me. When i check for driver updates, there are none. And recently(like 2 days ago) ill hook my speakers up and the song will play wierdly and start stuttering whenever heavy bass starts playing. I hooked my speakers up to my Envy 15 and Razor and i do not encounter this problem. Im wondering if it's just a driver needing an update or if my audio card is shot somehow. Pls. tell me i can fix this, i mean it's not that big a deal but i hate when things dont work!

Hi Envyguy3113,
I understand you are having an issue with your HP Envy Touchsmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook and sound issues. If you could make sure that all is up to date.
If you follow this document on get the free update, it should help resolve your issue.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-windows-8-tutorial
If the system is all up-to-date the next thing would be to restore your computer to when Windows 8 was working OK. Here is a document on how to perform that.

Siri sounds weird after switching the language to a different one and back

so um i was playing around with siri and i switched it to spanish, japanese, italian, austrailian, british, and then back to american and now siri sounds like she has a cold!! did she get a new voice update or something?? i tried turning enhanced quality on and off but now its just stuck on preparing to download, i have my iphone on wifi and its plugged into my computer too so it should be downloading . i tried switching her voice to canadian to see if that sounded normal and it sounds a LITTLE better, but i dont like it
siri sounds totally weird now, she kinda sounds like cordona (the windows phone version of siri)
i tried EVERYTHING! turning siri off, restarting, turning her back on, doing a hard reset, and turning ehanced quality on and off which isnt even working now
i also do NOT want to restore my phone becuse then i would lose EVERYTHING and i dont know how to do a backup because 1. this is my first phone 2. im using windows 8.1 and i dont know if you can bacck up on windows plus i dunno how to even make it go into backup so...
is there anyway to fix this without restoring my iphone and also if you guys are getting this too then can you tell me because im scared i broke siri.. she kinda sounds like a robot with a sinus infection lol
OH and i just locked and unlocked my iphone and now the enhanced quality WILL NOT DOWNLOAD it keeps going back to the off button instead of on WHATS HAPPENING :((((((((

Well I think you can get the best answers if you walk into a VZW store. But to my knowledge, you will be able to convert your existing number and start a prepaid plan. Then once you have the prepaid plan, I believe it must be on the Prepaid account six months before you can convert it back to a contract account.
And as for the new phone, as long as you start your new contract with your existing phone, you should be able to get the new iPhone in october at the the discounted rate, the same rate you would get if starting a new contract.

Midi loops in browser sound different in arrange window controller messages

I have a problem with controller messages as well with fx
I audition a midi loop it has FX and then drag it to arrange window
sounds different, I know of ther is another topic about the FX,
But as well controller messages not being read right
say a Timpani loop, foot controller is not reading
so the timpani roll is gone

This is not a problem, it's intentional design.
The preview audio contains reverb for these instruments, because the sound is in context - it let's you hear it how you are typically going to use it, and use can use it as an audio loop without problems.
When you load it as MIDI, it does not add another reverb to the channel because it assume you are going to use a global reverb, rather than add individual reverbs per channel - this is the generally better way of doing it, and avoids new users having a hundred reverbs on individual channels when they only need one.
As for articulations switched by MIDI, the preview audio can contain only one sample, but if there are different articulations, they need to be played/switched accordingly.
It's not a bug, it's the way it works for flexibility in the main. You have to remember, that when stepping up from a entry-level program to a professional one, a lot of hand-holding that the entry level programs do is no longer there, and so you can feel like the pro version is "less good" than the entry one. This is not the case - professional users do not need hand-holding, and that generally gets in the way.

MIDI Loops sound different in preview

I'm a new user to Logic, and I'm confused about the green (MIDI) loops. When I preview one it sounds one way, but will sound different when I drag it to my arrangement, even when having it create a new track. On many of them it sounds like it's just missing some reverb, but the change is more drastic in others, eg. "Desire A Cellos", where it sounds like the wrong samples have been loaded.
Also I noticed that it loads instruments like "strings" and "piano" where I would expect it to be using the more sophisticated EXS sampler.
Is this normal?
If I listen to a loops like "Concert Hall Piano 4" it sounds way more realistic in the preview than it does when I let it play the MIDI in my track. My first thought is that this must be because the "Piano" instrument doesn't know how to handle the extra midi data such as expression.
Is anyone else having this problem, and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
-Emil

To answer this question, loops are created to be used with Garageband, so all of the instruments selected will use Garageband instruments.
The other more important question....I DON'T KNOW! Great question, I'm having the same issue with mine. I hope someone can shed some light on this. If you double click the 'strings' instrument in the channelstrip where you have your 'Desire A Cellos' and select the 'Cellos Pizzicato' preset instead of the 'Cellos' preset that is selected, you get much closer. It seems like it has defaulted to the wrong setting. Your right though, there's definitely some verb there too. And also, if you then change your song key, the loop in the arrange window should change with it, but mine is not.
HOWEVER....If you drag a GREEN loop into an audio channel instead of a MIDI channel, it will create an audio file loop (like the blue loops). As far as I can tell, they sound exactly as they should, and they do change keys. Still though, very strange. Perhaps tis a bug??

Midi Apple Loops sound different when dragged on to song

When ever I drag a green midi loop from Apple Loops to my song it sounds different. All the effects are gone. I tried to put som reverb on it but it doesn't sound like it does wheyn played in the Apple Loops bar.
How can I use the green midi loops from Apple Loops as they sound there with that effect. The blue audio Apple Loops works fine.
I had this same problem in Logic Pro 9

There are some differences between the audio file previews contained in the loop and the actual data, sometimes by error, sometimes intentionally so.
For instance, if you preview an orchestral instrument, you hear it with reverb, as that's kinda how it's intended to sound, but when you drag it into Logic proper, you don't get reverb - because you will have one global reverb you send all the orchestral instrument too, rather than a hundred individual reverbs on each instrument.
Stuff like that. It varies, but there's nothing broken as such.

Siri sounds bad

Since updating on iOS 7, Siri sounds really bad (like a computer voice). On other iPhones Siri sounds clear and natural. What's wrong with my iPhone 5?

I have this problem too on my new iPad Air.
Apples explanation is here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5025?viewlocale=en_US
In general comes a clean iOS install with so called compact voices. Those are the ones that sound robotic. As soon the device knows what language you are going to use, it will download the natural one. (Power and Wifi required just as with backups.)
After reading some of the rumors and assumptions in other Siri voice questions I like to add:
- the voice is generated on the device, not on Apples servers, thus a high load in the backend wont result in a bad voice quality.
- including all voices for all languages in the initial OS install packet would increase the size massively and waste space on the device you rather want to use for documents and Lapps. Downloading localizations is sensible common practice in app's. (See Where is my Water 1 from Disney on the iOS App Store for instance)

I just updated my iPhone 5 and Siri sounds more like a robot and I don't know what's wrong. My iPad Siri and my moms iPhone Siri sound like real people. Why doesn't my phone Siri sound like it should???

Siri sounds more robotic on my iphone for the iOS 7 update..... Help????

Hello smartbud,
The following article provides steps for changing the way Siri sounds.
Can I change how Siri sounds?
New female and male voices will be available initially in U.S. English, French, and German. You can change the gender by going to Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. iOS will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice when you first connect to power and a Wi-Fi network.

My Sine Wave File sounds different in Logic than iTunes

I am working on creating musical compositions with embedded sine wave patterns (which I am generating in a foriegn application). These sine waves are designed to entrain the brain to different frequencies to facilitate in stimulating meditative states of consciousness in the listener.
Unfortunately, when I import my sine wave audio file (in .wav format) Logic changes it and the rhythm is frequency is twice as fast! When I play the file in iTunes it sounds just the way I generated it, but when I import it into Logic through the audio bin or simply drag and drop onto the arrange window, it sounds different and cannot work for the precise control I require for my compositions.
Does any one have any idea why this is happening or what I can do to import my audio file without changing it?
Thank you so much for any ideas/assistance,
Devlin Dewitt Donnelly

Hi DD Smooth,
you should check sample rate settings on your original audio files and make them match the sample rate settings on your logic project prior to importing them. Sounds like you are generating 48khz .wav files in your foreign app and Logic must be set to 44.1khz by default. Or the other way around
