What is the speed/performance comparison between Soundbooth CS5 and Audition CS6?

Obviously, I don't need to be convinced about the difference. However, in demonstrating and working with Audition I didn't take a note of these speed differences. Does anyone have this information for business justification reasons?
I am looking for the speed of a sound file (*.wav, approximately 1-5minutes in length) rendering in Soundbooth CS5 and Audition CS6 as well as a comparison of doing 10 files (approximately 1-5 minutes in length each) in Soundbooth and in Audition CS6 (using batch processing) to *.mp3 with basic processes applied. Basic processes that I am checking are Noise Reduction, Trimming front and end silences, Normalization, and rendering to *.mp3 (from *.wav). If anyone can do this for me, that would be awesome!!

Hello _durin_, yes all those are great arguments that I've already included; however, some people like to use accurate measures/times/processes...they want numbers.
So, do you (or anyone else) happen to know the render engine speed of 1 file in Soundbooth v. 1 file in Audition?
What Durin hasn't perhaps made quite clear is that you'd have to do this on just one machine to come up with any comparisons at all - and if that machine isn't identical to yours, then it's going to be meaningless anyway; some of the processes (like NR) will vary considerably between two different machines, even running the same software. There is no way on earth that this would be an accurate comparison, and I don't think it would convince anybody who actually understood what was at issue. This is the politest way of saying that it's not going to happen... and if Durin, as Audition's Product Owner, isn't prepared to commit himself, then nobody's going to.... BUT:
Now I am moving towards the argumentation that it should replace everyone's Soundbooth, which is why I need the justification. I would run the tests myself over the current set of files, but with the license gone, I cannot.
Your real justification isn't going to be based on anything like dodgy process measurements at all, but this: Soundbooth is discontinued - there's very little, if any, support for it now, and there will be no updates to cope with OS changes, etc. Audition, on the other hand, is a long-term, well-supported software product that's under active development, and this is clearly intended to continue. Also there are business package deals to be done (like active subscriptions, etc) that simply weren't available to Soundbooth users, which companies can use far more flexibly. I think you'll find that arguements like this will cut far more mustard than any odious comparisons of 'speed' will.

  • Looking for Performance Comparisons Between JRockit 6 and Sun Java SE 6

  • What is the recommended Delay/Latency between Call manager and The SRST setup

    Hi ,
    Need to understand the readability between the CUCM and SRST.
    What is the recommended Delay/Latency, Bandwidh  between Call manager and The SRST gateway setup.
    Regards,
    Velu S

    Hi Manish,
    I've been struggling to get this information and what I could understand from the SRND is that this 80ms is just related to the Intra-Cluster communications (Between Servers UCS), there is no relation with SRST Gateways:
    "The maximum one-way delay between any two Unified CM servers should not exceed 40 ms, or 80 ms round-trip time."
    From that I assume that the RTD between the SRST and the Cluster should be based on the affirmation below:
    "If a voice service is hosted across a WAN where the one-way latency is 200 ms, for example, users might experience issues such as delay-to-dialtone or increased media cut-through delays. For other services such as presence, there might be no problem with a 200 ms latency."

  • Performance comparison between using sql and pl/sql for same purpose

    Hi All,
    I have to do some huge inserts into a table from some other tables. I have 2 option:
    Option 1
    ======
    a. Declare a cusor for a query involving all source tables, this will return the data to be populated into target
    b. Use a cursor for loop to loop through all the records in the cursor
    c. for each iteration of the loop, populate target columns, do any calculations/function calls required to populate derived columns, and then insert the resulting record into target table
    Option 2
    ======
    Just write a big single "Insert Into ..... Select ..." statement, doing alll calculations/funtion calls in the select statement generating the source data.
    Now my question is ; which option is fast? and why. This operation is performace critical so I need the option which will run faster. Can anybody help???
    Thanks in Advance.

    while the above comments are vaild, you should concider maintainability in you code. Even if you can write the sql it might be the code becomes complex making tuning very dificult, and derade performance.Beg to differ on that. Regardless of complexity of code, SQL is always faster than PL/SQL when dealing with SQL data. The reason for that is that PL/SQL still needs to use SQL anyway for row retrieval, and in addition it needs to copy row data from the buffer cache into the PL/SQL PGA. This is an overhead that does not exist in SQL.
    So if you are processing a 100 million rows with a complex 100 line SQL statement, versus a 100 million rows 100 line PL/SQL procedure, SQL will always be faster.
    It is a trade off, my experiance is large SQL's 100's lines long become hard to manage. You need to ask yourself why there are 100's of line of SQL. This points to an underlying problem. A flaky data model is very likely the cause. Or not using SQL correctly. Many times a 100 line SQL can be changed to a 10 liner by introducing different logic that solves the exact same problem easier and faster (e.g. using analytical SQL, thinking "+out-of-the-box+").
    Also, 100's of line of SQL points to a performance issue always. And it does not matter where you move this code logic to PL/SQL or Java or elsewhere, the performance problem will remain. Moving the problem from SQL to PL/SQL or Java does not reduce the number of rows to process, or make a significant change in the number of CPU instructions to be executed. And there's the above overhead mentioned - pulling SQL data into a client memory segment for processing (an overhead that does not exist using SQL).
    So how do you address this then? Assuming the data model is correct, then there are 2 primary methods to address the 100's of SQL lines and its associated performance problem.
    Modularise the SQL. Make the 100's of lines easier to maintain and understand. This can be done using VIEWS and the SQL WITH clause.
    As for the associated performance issue - materialised views comes to mind as an excellent method to address this type of problem.
    my advice is keep things simple, because soon or later you will need to change the code.I'm all for that - but introducing more moving parts like PL/SQL or Java and ref cursors and bulk fetching and so on.. how does that reduce complexity?
    SQL is the first and best place to solve row crunching problems. Do not be fooled into thinking that you can achieve that same performance using PL/SQL or Java.

  • How to import markers from soundbooth cs5 into audition cs6

    Hello, a series VO wav files were  recorded in SB CS5 and markers where then added .
    On opening them in Audition CS6 for multitrack editing all markers are missing.
    Then in SB XML files of markers where exported for each file but there is no way Audition will open them, with a warning of corrupted or unsupported format.
    So, how can one get either wavs (with markers) orxml markers  into audition cs6 that where created in SB?

    evan.fotis wrote:
    How is it, that Adobe uses these xml marker format which AE & PP will recognize (cause they were meant for the suite) but not AU!.. especially now that SB is dumped and AU is supposed to be its successor even though they coexisted previously.
    Difficult with integration issues... part of the problem is that, of course, Audition wasn't integrated into the suite when SB was its audio editor - and as such didn't require to be suite-compatible.
    Because I don't ever run into these problems - simply because I don't do video - I don't have all of the answers. I do have a question though; if you open your SB file in CS6 Premiere, do you have the same problem with the markers? IOW, can you use the new version as a converter, since I believe that it's possible to transfer markers back and forth (isn't it???) between Premiere and Audition in the new version. Or is that screwed as well?
    So this yields the question, what format markers will AU recognize and import? any workaround that does not invovle manually adding them in AU? perhaps renaming to txt or something that AU will understand?
    Probably the best person to answer this is Suite Spot, because he's the one that has done all the development work on AATranslator, and has probably forgotten more about this than the rest of us know! What I'm pretty sure of though is that SB doesn't feature in the converter.

  • Performance comparison between oops reports and normaal reports

    Hi Abapers,
                      Can anyone tell me that how is it better to use oops reports instesad of normal reports
    as there is no difference in select query in both the reports, and if you have any reports which give the same output developed in oops and normal way....
    pls provide me with that.... so that i can check....
    Regards
    Aarif

    Hi Arif,
    the performance tuning doesn't mean concern of data fetch load or reducing database access. It also means reduce ABAP load i.e. load of Application Server.
    OOABAP report works directly with memory. not with work area or tempory variable top store a value. So if your program is reached with READ, LOOP...ENDLOOP etc. you can reduce its load by using OOABAP concept.
    Getting this think, you can develope an application of your own.

  • What's the difference setting autoextend between on segment and on device?

    suppose I have name segment with is on device mydevice in mydb. Then I try to set autoextend for the the database when segment is full.
    The final reason for full is the device is full.
    Then I could have 2 option to set this autoextend: on segment or on device:
    sp_dbextend ’set’, ’database’, mydb, myseg, ’10%’
    sp_dbextend ’set’, ’device’, mydev, ’10%’
    So question: if set on segment, ase will extend the device automatically for that segment? about both are same or not?

  • What is the "Language Reference" difference between AS, Flash, and FLEX?

    I'm fairly new to the world of Flash9 / Flex2 / ActionScript3
    development environment.
    As I was reading through tutorial for FLEX/AS, I was
    introduced to Language Reference for FLEX 2.0.
    At the same time, I noticed in FLASH9 / AS3 there is also
    Language Reference page. For a moment, I thought these 2 Language
    Reference shared the same API / Language components.
    As I have found out, when I was looking up Language Reference
    for "Button" class for FLE2.0, it provided
    - mx.controls.Button
    But for Language Reference for "Button" class for FLASH9 /
    AS3, it provided different package
    - fl.controls.Butoon
    Why are there 2 sets of packages for the class Button?
    Shouldn't there just be one package for class Button?
    thanks,

    Hello,
    The names can be confusing, especially since IE identifies Flash Player as Shockwave Flash Object in 'Manage Add-ons'.  They are, in fact, two different programs, as noted in your Programs and Features screenshot. Flash Player plays web content created using Flash Professional, Flex, or Flash Builder (ActionScript programming language).  Adobe Shockwave Player plays web content that has been created using Adobe Director.  They are not interchageable.  Web content created using ActionScript requires Flash Player and web content created with Adobe Director requires Shockwave Player.

  • What are the reporting performances can we do?

    What are the reporting performances can we do?

    Hi,
    General tips
    Using aggregates and compression.
    Using  less and complex cell definitions if possible.
    1. Avoid using too many nav. attr
    2. Avoid RKF and CKF
    3. Many chars in row.
    By using T-codes ST03 or ST03N
    Go to transaction ST03 > switch to expert mode > from left side menu > and there in system load history and distribution for a particual day > check query execution time.
    Try table rsddstats to get the statistics
    Using cache memoery will decrease the loading time of the report.
    Run reporting agent at night and sending results to email.This will ensure use of OLAP cache. So later report execution will retrieve the result faster from the OLAP cache.
    Also try
    1.  Use different parameters in ST03 to see the two important parameters aggregation ratio and records transferred to F/E to DB selected.
    2. Use the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS (Performance of BW infocubes) to see the aggregation ratio for the cube. If the cube does not appear in the list of this report, try to run RSRV checks on the cube and aggregates.
    Go to SE38 > Run the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS
    It will shown dimension Vs Fact tables Size in percent.If you mean speed of queries on a cube as performance metric of cube,measure query runtime.
    3. To check the performance of the aggregates,see the columns valuation and usage in aggregates.
    Open the Aggregates...and observe VALUATION and USAGE columns.
    "---" sign is the valuation of the aggregate. You can say -3 is the valuation of the aggregate design and usage. ++ means that its compression is good and access is also more (in effect, performance is good). If you check its compression ratio, it must be good. -- means the compression ratio is not so good and access is also not so good (performance is not so good).The more is the positives...more is useful the aggregate and more it satisfies the number of queries. The greater the number of minus signs, the worse the evaluation of the aggregate. The larger the number of plus signs, the better the evaluation of the aggregate.
    if "-----" then it means it just an overhead. Aggregate can potentially be deleted and "+++++" means Aggregate is potentially very useful.
    In valuation column,if there are more positive sign it means that the aggregate performance is good and it is useful to have this aggregate.But if it has more negative sign it means we need not better use that aggregate.
    In usage column,we will come to know how far the aggregate has been used in query.
    Thus we can check the performance of the aggregate.
    Refer.

    Note 356732 - Performance Tuning for Queries with Aggregates
    Note 166433 - Options for finding aggregates (find optimal aggregates for an InfoCube)
    4. Run your query in RSRT and run the query in the debug mode. Select "Display Aggregates Found" and "Do not use cache" in the debug mode. This will tell you if it hit any aggregates while running. If it does not show any aggregates, you might want to redesign your aggregates for the query.
    Also your query performance can depend upon criteria and since you have given selection only on one infoprovider...just check if you are selecting huge amount of data in the report
    Check for the query read mode in RSRT.(whether its A,X or H)..advisable read mode is X.

  • Questions on the comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX

    Hi All,
    The link below presents information about Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers, the table at the end of the page shows a comparison between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX, all the points of comparisons are clear for me except 3 points which are:
    •Locking, what is meant by locking models?
    •Database Connections, what is meant by Synchronous/Asynchronous connections in Oracle Forms and Oracle Apex?
    •Architecture, what is meant by 2tier and 3 tier connections?
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_for_forms.html
    What I need is a simple explanation for these points without deep details.
    Thanks

    Hi
    That is how I understand that document:
    Locking: Forms, by default, locks a row as soon as the user starts modifying the data. That is pessimistic locking. Apex, on other hand (and optionally forms also) do not lock the record, but before applying any changes checks if the data has changed since the user queried it (what for some reason is called optimistic "locking")
    DB connections: I am not sure why they used the terms synchronous/asynchronous, but the difference is that Forms, by default, keeps an permanent DB connection while the user is using the application, while Apex gets a connection from a connection pool every time a page is requested/submitted.
    Architecture: Forms (in its web version at least) has 3 tiers: the browser, the appserver where the forms service runs and the database. As Apex runs inside the database, there are only 2 tiers: the browser and the database (though you still may need an http server in between which serves static content, I don't think it is considered part of the application in this context). If you are talking about client/server forms, then there are only 2 tiers.
    I hope this helps!

  • What is the programming (ABAP) difference between Unicode and non Unicode?

    What is the programming(ABAP) difference between Unicode and non Unicode?
    Edited by: NIV on Apr 12, 2010 1:29 PM

    Hi
    The difference between programming in Unicode or not Unicode is that you should consider some adjustments to make on the Program "Z" to comply with the judgments Unicode Standard.
    In the past, developments in SAP using multiple systems to encode the characters of different alphabets. For example: ASCII, EBCDI, or double-byte code pages.
    These coding systems mostly use 1 byte per character, which can encode up to 256 characters. However, other alphabets such as Japanese or Chinese use a larger number of characters in their alphabets. That's why the system using double-byte code page, which uses 2 bytes per character.
    In order to unify the different alphabets, it was decided to implement a single coding system that uses 2 bytes per character regardless of what language is concerned. That system is called Unicode.
    Unicode is also the official way to implement ISO/IEC 10646 and is supported in many operating systems and all modern browsers.
    The way of verifying whether a program was adjusted or not, is through the execution of the UCCHECK transaction. Additionally, you can check by controlling syntax (making sure that this asset verification check Unicode).
    The main decisions to adjust / replace are (examples):
    ASSIGN H-SY-INDEX TEXT TO ASSIGN <F1> by
    H-SY-INDEX TEXT (*) TO <F1>.
    DATA INIT (50) VALUE '/'. by
    DATA INIT (1) VALUE '/'.

    The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.
