    Hi aj27801!
    Thank you for the post.
    There are some presets in the menu that help with different situations.  You probably get the best results for what you will be recording by setting the Audio Scene to Music.
     1.  Touch to open the menu.
     2.  Select [Audio Scene].
     3.  Select [Music].

  • What is the best YouTube App for my iPod Touch 4th gen after iOS 6 comes out?

    iOS 6 states that it will remove the default YouTube app due to the end of a licensing agreement. So I'm wondering what YouTube app is the best? (features-wise, rating-wise,etc)

  • What is the best wireless charger for my ipod 4

    I got chocolate In the place where I plug my ipod in.

    and?  You tap the Mail icon on your home screen, and it opens the Mail app.  There you can read your messages in your Gmail Exchange account.
    I currently have my personal Gmail account set up on my phone as an Exchange account that syncs mail, contacts, and calendar.  My office e-mail is Gmail thru Google Apps for Business.  I have that one set up as a normal Gmail account that syncs mail and calendar.  Both of these are accessed through the iOS Mail app.
    I also have a 3rd mail account set up, but it accesses my personal Gmail account through the normal Gmail setup and syncs notes only.  This one does not show up in the Mail app since it's not set up to sync mail.  This way I have my notes synced over the air since I do not have anything on my home PC to sync notes otherwise.

  • What is the best audio level for making a CD from video?

    I know that -12dB is the optimum level for making a DVD. When I took this same level (peaking at -12dB), exported it to AIFF and then put it into iTunes and burned a CD, the volume was definitely lower than other CDs.
    Does anyone know the standard level for CDs?
    I'm doing this to convert a video of a concert into a CD.

    The standard for CDs is basically -0.1. Generally, at least with pop & rock, the mastering stage puts the levels as loud as they possibly can be without distorting.
    Plus, with content like music that is a little more consistent (level-wise) than dialog, SFX, etc., it's easier to ride it up closer to zero.

    What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?
    I don't want to upgrade to the latest Quark now i've got CC so going to make the leap to indesign only. Does Indesign auto convert or do I need anything else?

    ID does not load QXD files. There is a respective commercial third-party plug-in to that effect, but it's rather pricey and I'm not up to speed which versions of Quark and ID it supports and which features come over. Inquire in the ID forum.

  • What's the Best Audio Format?

    I have been recording audio tracks as aiff format.
    What's the best audio format... .aiff - .wav sdII or the newer .caf?
    Considering:
    - sound quality
    - portablilty to other app's and platforms (protools - PC's etc.)
    - other stuff.....

    mp3...lol.
    okay, well, it will really depend on what you're looking to interoperate with.
    only logic, pt and dp support sdII...it's basically old school, and most likely on its way out.
    caf is apple's new audio file format, which looks pretty intriguing. however, afaik, noone else supports it yet, and wintel machines probably never will. it's new, so i'm not sure of the ins and outs, really.
    bwav is pretty much the standard on pc's now...and i think just about everything but dp supports this natively (you can import them into dp as of v5.1x, i believe. bwavs contain timestamps, so that when imported into a project, they can go where they are supposed to on the timeline.
    for completely universal compatibility though, aiff is still the way to go. it is supported on both wintel and mac, and afaik, pretty much every daw can handle these.

  • What is the best RAID configuration for a MacPro as a Logic User?

    There ought to be a universal answer to this question: what is the best RAID configuration for Logic Mac Pro users? I will be more specific.
    I use Logic Studio, Reason, Ableton, and Motu Symphonic Instrument simultaneously.
    I want to fail safe my precious audio files and improve performance as the system reads/writes data from multiple files, from audio tracks to digital samples.
    I want to run video files simultaneously to do nifty audio soundtracking to video.
    Here is the configuration I have in mind.
    HD 1: OS and Logic Studio, Reason/Ableton samples etc. software (non-raid) (250 GB)
    HD 2/3: MIrrored RAID set for AUDIO FILES (500 Gb identical pair)
    HD 4: Video files / Bouncing (1 TB)
    Makes sense right? A disk for reading software. A pair of 500 GB disks for reading/writing audio files and sessions in mirrored array. A 1 TB disk for video and bouncing. The main question I have is, for audio files only, is striped or mirrored better? 64K blocks the best? And are there any more details. I assume to do this in Disk Utility.

    Well, both Mirrored and Striped have their pros and cons. If you use mirrored, it will offer no better performance than the spec'ed drive along with it's sata bus speed. The plus point is, if one drive goes down, you have the second as a backup as the complete contents of one drive are mirrored on the other.
    With striped you will get a performance boost because all files (for example a single project) will get written across both drives and hence split the load on the drives and the SATA busses. The drawback is that you'll have to make sure you have a good, regular backup schedule in place because when one of the drives goes to drive heaven, you're going to be stuffed without a full backup of both drives.
    Exactly what performance boost you'd get will depend on your project, number of files, size of files, fragmentation of files, track count etc. You may find it would be easier to use the 3 drives straight, with no raid and have:
    HD 1: OS and Apps. No samples at all.
    HD2: Audio Files for Logic projects
    HD3: Reason, Ableton, Logic etc instrument sample library
    HD4: Video and bouncing.
    Which is what I ended up doing although I use HD4 as an interchangeable backup for HD1 and 2.
    There is no universal answer to this as each must make their own choice based on their preferences and needs. Mirrored will give you full backup but on-site, in machine backup. Not much good if something untoward and drastic happens to the physical machine. I think a few people toy with striped RAID but fall on the side of using the drives straight, as in their projects they don't see a big enough gain over splitting the data across your 3 remaining drives without RAID. Studios that seriously consider raid often go out and get a dedicated raid that can offer more variations than raid 0 or raid 1 (Striped and Mirrored) and better throughput.
    I hope this helps a little and not just added to the dilemma.

  • What is the best Compressor setting for best quality video playback on an iBook g4?

    I know the iBook and G4's in general are very outdated today, but I need to ask anyways. I have some video projects in 720p and 1080p in which I have down converted to 480p and also exported to MPEG-2 for DVD (personal wedding videos and videos made for my clients using Final Cut Studio). Anything encoded at most resolutions using h264 won't play on my iBook. Even 480p.
    I have about 20 hours of mixed video content that I need it in a format that is suitable for an iPhone 4 and an iBook 12" with a 1.2GHz G4, 1.25GB RAM and I added a 250 WD 5400 IDE hard disk (running 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 for Classic Mode). I know the iBook doesn't seem like the best tool for modern video playback, but I need to figure out which setting will play best with iPhone 4 and iBook so I don't need to make 2 local copies of each video for each device.
    The iBook plays best with the original DVD output MPEG-2 file and playing back in QT Pro or VLC... but I already have 180 GB's of MPEG-2 files now and my little HD is almost full. I don't have enough room to convert all the iPhone 4 counterparts. If I use Compressor 3.5.3, what is the optimal setting for iBook and iPhone .m4v or .mp4 files that can play on both devices? So far 720x400-480 widescreen videos @ 29fps works great on my iPhone, Apple TV 2, and other computers but seems to murder my poor iBook if encoded with high profile (and still choppy on simple profiles). 640x480 (adding black matte bars to my videos) plays fine in MPEG-2 but drops frames or goes to black screen if I convert it to mp4 (and looks bad on the iPhone 4 because of the matte). But if I convert on any of the simple profiles, it looks terrible on my iPhone 4 and a blocky on the iBook.
    This is the problem leading me to having 2 copies of each video and eating my hard disk space. What is the best video setting for both playback on the iBook and iPhone 4? Can the iBook playback H264 at all in decent resolutionsat all? I don't really want to have a 480p .m4v collection for the iPhone 4 and a MPEG-2 RAW collection just to play the same videos on the iBook.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.

    What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.  And one that is 'fool-proof' and very easy to use.  Many thanks, anyone who can advise.

    You want to 'reverse engineer' the compressed mpeg2 DVD file back to something iMovie can use?
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • What is the best audio interface to buy to record drums?

    What is the best audio interface to buy to record drums?  Looking for something with 8 inputs to mic my drum kit.  Don't want to go past $1,000.  Been looking at the Presonus Firestudio and M-Audio Profire 2626, for example.  This is my first time setting up a home studio so any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    The MOTU interfaces are a good value, and as Pancenter notes, they have rock-solid drivers.  I've had good experiences with the Traveler, although I'd bypass the mic pres if possible.
    And if you're able to spend a bit more, the Metric Halo 2882 also has excellent drivers and noticeably-better sound--it's my fave in the <$2k range.  If you can find a used Apogee Ensemble, that's another great-sounding interface, although it can't match the latency performance of the MOTU or Metric Halo.  So, for software instruments, the Ensemble is not a good choice, but for recording acoustic drums, a used one for $1300-1500 would be excellent.
