Sound in FCP - Questions about MP3

Hi
Which is the best way to convert MP3 to AIF file ( 48HZ & 16 bt) ?
(The sound that i am using in my project, i have it only in MP3 it's specific and i can't change it.)
Write now i make it with Adobe Audition CS6 - is it OK? or its best to do it with Compressor? The quality is the same or not?
I am asking all of them because my project export sound is on 5.1 (for DVD) and for the music i put every file to Pan Mode to Stereo Left/Right in order to have better perfomance but when i do that the music sounds very low!! The rest of the sound(effects etc..) its sounds very good!!
Do i have other solution? or i am making something wrong?
Please give me your guideness......
Thank you!!!!

Don't know about that. Good conversion to AIFF should be identical. I don't use Audition but I've never had a conversion lose sound level.

I currently have two dell computers one laptop and one desktop. I am planning on going to get a new Mac laptop this weekend and i had a question about the windows install disk that came with the computer i already own. the disk is distributed by dell and says only for installation on dell systems. could i use this to install windows into boot camp on my new mac, or will it mess up the bios and such?
It won't work. Dell only supplies recovery CDs. They have the hardware needed for the Dell and that's it. I would also guess that it does not have SP2 incorporated into it. You could mess up your Mac, but it would not install so why even bother with it?
You need the full XP with SP2 embedded or Vista CD or DVD. Anything less won't work.

I have a question about MP3 recorders but cannot even get contact us to work

My question is are the recorders in the Zen MP3 players mono and are they a .025 kHz?
However, I am disturbed that none of the links to "contact us" work is this a typical problem with
Creative? If not, how do I reach someone preferably by phone, but even by e-mail when I have a question about a product and even worse if I buy one about a problem thanks

As far as I know the "contact us" links are some sort of guided tour to some documents that might help, and otherwise an e-mail form. I don't know if you can phone them, but you can e-mail them and for general questions there is this forum.
The X-Fi 2 saves recordings as IMA ADPCM 6000Hz mono 64kb
ps.
I'm not sure about other Zens, although I believe they all are mono, I think my Vision recorded in regular wave (uncompressed PCM) but since I don't have that one anymore I can't check.

A simple question about mp3's in a Flash music player

I have a music player for a Flash site that I'm working on that plays 3 mp3's. Right now it just has some short sound loops, but I find them repetitive and annoying. I'd like to replace them with mp3's of full songs. Is it ok to add 3 mp3's of songs that are like 3 minutes long and are 128 kbps or will those be too big of files? The mp3's are all between 2 and 3 mpgs. Is it better to try to find ones at say 64 kbps? Or is there a way to bump them down to a smaller size just for the player but still get decent sound quality?
Thanks!

Valeriy,
Please provide some more information about the technologies you are using to build your application in order to get some appropriate help.
For example, if you are using ADF BC/ADF Faces, I will say, "please read section 25.8 of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers," which describes how to do this using those technologies.
Obviously, if you're not using ADF BC, then it's not much help... so... help us help you; what technologies are you using.

Question about mp3 file stor

i just bought a creative gb zen nano plus. just wondering if i take it over my friends house to get a 700mb .avi file do i have to install the software on his computer or will it show up as a jump or flash dri've.he all has software on his computer for a sansa mp3 player & his phone and says he dont want to install any more software which i understand. thanks in advance

That will depend on what type of OS he is currently using. If it's Windows 2000 and higher, you don't need to install any driver to work with the player.

Question about mp3 fi

I was just wondering if defragmenting your computer would affect the quality of music files since the computer moves them to a different location on the hard dri've. I know converting files decreases quality but I'm not too sure about defragmenting.

Defragmenting won't hurt them since you aren't changing the files, just the physical locations of the data.

Question about MP3 players in Ital

Hello!I'm an italian boy!I have some problems with my micro zen mp3, there are italian people in this forum?i'm not speak english very well!!help me help me thanksMessage Edited by Catherina-CL on 06-20-2006 09:48 AM

Rather than waiting for some Italian to respond, it's a good idea to try your best expressing your problem by writing it down here. It doesn't have to be a perfect english

Question about MP3

I have MP3's on my computer that I have converted to (AAC) and I want to burn them to a disc from iTunes. Can you do this? If so, how?

Yes you can do this with iTunes. If you want to make a audio CD to play and listin to just make a playlist of the songs you want and then hit the "burn" button at the top right corner of iTunes.
If your wanting to make a data CD for backing up your AAC songs, goto preferences in the edit menu and select the sub tab "Burning" under advance. there you can switch it from burning audio CDs to burning Data CDs

QUESTION ABOUT MP3S

when converting to an mp3 from a wav file , does the mp3 lose alttle clarity?

I must add: it's better to work (read: mix and bast
of all record) your stuff at 96kHz samplerate, 24bit.
When possible of course. This way you don't loose too
much data when mixing.
For the complete explanation see your reference
manual p 288.
Hi,
I usually test what I am going to records first...before deciding on sample rate...i.e. an electric guitar doe snot contain any info much above 15,000 Hz..so there is no point in recording it at 96kHz(48,000 hertz being the limit on that),just a lot of zeroes added on to make the file bigger,not better.
Also a LOT of microphones especially old ones do not pass audio past 15-18kHz either,so again,why record a source that does not give you anything above 20kHz??? I keep asking this,and people keep telling me they "hear" the difference...
I have been tested by an otolaryngologist (ear-nose-throat doctor) and he proved to me I can listen all the way to 26,000 Hz...
So when I cannot tell the difference between a source at 44.1kHz and the same one at 96kHz,it's not because I'm deaf...which I'm not,it's because THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE...the spectral content is the same...
Cheers

Basic question about MP3 format

This is really simple (if you know how) but how but how do I convert a MP3 Disc so that I can play it on my ipod that needs MP4? Many thanks!

You don't need to convert. iPods handle mp3 just fine.

A few quick questions about my new MP3 pla

Ok, I like to get to know anything I buy so I decided to come here and ask, I hope you dont mind answering (My MP3 player is the MuVo c00):
) In the instruction manual it says that play WMA file reduce the battery life of your player. Since converting them reduces the size by a fair bit I was wondering if the reduced battery life was worth it and how much it reduces the battery life.
2) When is a good time to replace the bettery in my player? Should I wait for it to completly die or what because I dont want to go replacing batteries 3 quarters full.
3) Is there any sound or quality differences between MP3 format and WMA?
4) Is the program that came with the player the best thing to add music with or would buying something else do the trick or even just copy and paste?
5) Finally, how do you attach the neck strap? I dont see any place where it could go unless you have to attach it with the arm band on it.
Thanks for your help and I might have some more question but untill further notice this is all I have and again thaks for your time.

. You have to bear in mind this is for an equivalent MP3 e.g. a 28 kbit/s encoded WMA is going to use more power than a 28 kbit/s MP3. Normally WMAs are encoded at a lower rate anyway, hence will use less power. There are many factors that affect battery usage.
2. Wait for it to go flat.
3. Complex answer. In general WMA is used when you want more space and aren't so worried about quality, at the 64 - 28 kbit/s range. MP3s (using the LAME encoder) are better at the higher bit-rates of 92 kbit/s. The bottom line is try a few different bit-rates for both MP3 and WMA, take a listen, and decide for yourself.
4. With the MuVo it's very easy, just use Windows Explorer to copy files. I wouldn't buy any other software, unless you find something you really like to create MP3/WMA files.
5. Not sure on this one...

Question about Charging ZEN MP3 Pla

Hello, I just got a brand-new ZEN 4GB MP3 player. I have a question about charging it. Is the device done charging when the battery icon blinking in the top-right displays as full, or should I be waiting for some other indication (done charging message, etc.)?
Thanks,
Brett

The icon should be a full bar with a little plug in the middle when it's fully charged.

Video sound and picture on tv.. question about burning to DVD

Hi
I finally got the picture to show up on the TV. I went into video, settings and turned on the TV out setting. Now I wonder if I can burn the itunes shows I bought onto a dvd?
Will this be a backup copy incase my computer dies or will I be able to watch this on a dvd player too?
Anyone know if I should put the shows on a dvd and if I can watch them on my dvd player then?
Thanks

You can save your iTunes Music Store movies to data DVDs for backup purposes (if you have a supported DVD burner), but these DVDs will not play in a DVD player."

Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

Hi
A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
(I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)
