Why does 44k and 88k look different?

hi,
ive been using some 88k files for high qual recording, now i want all my files at 44k, so i convert them all, but looking the wave overview the 'level' appears to have dropped to nearly 50% of what it was for each file.
is this just a visual artefact of the way logic shows sample rates, it doesnt sound any quieter.

although the sounds are identical in level shown in any level meter i have.....they 'look' different on screen.
the 88k>44k convert is at the top compared to the original 88k file below it.....this  seems to be a naormal artefact as this often happens when i use pitch time machine to change some samples' speeds......

  • Printing in Flex: why does print dialog box look different?

    I'm starting to play with printing in Flex. I tried to run the "Example: A simple print job" here from the Adobe web site  (i.e. press demo button on Adobe web site and then press print button on demo) and get one print dialog box. The took the same code and pasted it in a Flash Builder Application file and ran the whole thing on the same computer (same OS, Windows 7, and same browser, Chrome) and  get a different looking print dialog box. The only difference I can see is that the example on the Adobe site is probably compiled using FB 4.5 and the one on my machine is compiled using FB4, but I have a hard time believing that would cause the difference, considering that the print dialog box should theoretically be an OS deal. A picture of the two dialog boxes is included below.
    any ideas of what could be causing this?
    thank you!

    I believe that is a browser function.
    The one problem that you are going to run into trying to make it look the same (if it is even possible which I doubt) is that many browsers don't even use Adobe Reader anymore. They have their own pdf viewers. Take Chrome in Mac for example. Not only does it not use Reader by default, you can't even make it use Reader.

  • Why does iOS7 and Mavericks have different icons for apps?

    I love apple simple desige and intuitive approach.
    BUT why does not Contacts, Calender etc have the same icons anymore between your operating systems?
    This is not simple and it is not intuiative.....
    Alexander

    The removal of all the skeuomorphic elements from iOS and OS X is only partially complete. Doubtless we'll see this change as updates come out, though whether Apple will go with the exact same icons in both iOS and OS X for any given app remains to be seen. You can express your opinion to Apple via their feedback page, if you wish:

  • Why does my Mac Mini look different on different displays

    I have 3 HDTVs, 2 Samsung 40" LCD 1080p and a 50" Insignia Plasma 1080p. I have my 2009 Mac mini connected to my Samsung LN40a530 the picture quality is amazing, pictures are beautiful, text is extremely clear and colors look real and vivid. But as soon as I try connecting my Mac mini to my other television sets, the overall picture quality is very noticeably poor in comparison to the Samsung LN40a530. At first I had just the Samsung LN40a530 and the Insignia plamsa. I had figured the issue was the fact that one is LCD and one is plasma but I recently purchaced a Samsung LN40c550 LCD 1080p LCD and the same problem persisted. The colors are off for instance people look dark and orange, the text is blochy, the overall picture is just not very good. I have tried several times to adjust the settings on the Mac and the televisions with no luck. I find this very strange since both Samsung televisions are essentially the same tv. It's understandable with one being plasma and one being LCD but when the LCD and the plasma are having essentially the same issue it's very confusing. If anyone has had the same issue when switching monitors or televisions with a Mac mini any help would he great. Thanks

    There is really only one setting on the Mac that can have such a dramatic affect. That would be the gamma setting. You get to the gamma setting when running through a color calibration on the Mac. You can check and see if gamma is the same when connected with the different TVs. Mac's typically default to 2.2 for computer displays but a setting of 1.8 is often needed for TVs, so that's worth looking into.
    Outside of that setting, your attention should shift to the TVs. On you two Samsungs, do they have very similar menu arrangements? If so, try sitting down with a pencil and paper and write down all the settings for the good Samsung and then apply them to the bad one. I would think that would bring them very close into alignment for image quality.
    Are all the TVs in question being hooked up the same way using the same cable and adapter? You didn't really say anything about how they are hooked up.

  • Why does my DW site look different depending on computer?

    Here are my specs...
    I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on two computers.  One is a 64 bit windows 7 desktop with a 24" widescreen monitor, and the other is a 64 bit windows 7 17" widescreen laptop.  I access the site from both computers using a usb external drive (backed up every night). Because I travel a bit, I find that most of the site work I do is on the laptop.  As one would hope in a WYSIWYG environment, my design view on the laptop is pretty close to what the uploaded site looks like.  Very close.  However, when I do need to work on the desktop, the design view will show divs out of place, way over to the right or left as though pushed or something.  BUT, when I check the preview and/or upload the page and check it online--everything is fine.
    I've learned to ignore it if I know it is not affecting the output, but it would be helpful if there is a way to have both views accurate.  Any ideas?

    Thanks very much for looking at the code, and I didn't realize about the ampersands. I ran the validator tonight and wow, I'm embarrassed.  I went through and repaired a great deal in my main template page, and tomorrow I will have to go through the other pages and see if I have more. I'm sure I do.  While I was able to fix a lot of the errors, there are still some on this page (main template) that have me confused, and I welcome some wisdom.  After fixing as many errors as I could the following list has me stumped.
    The reason I am stumped is because all of these lines are created by Dreamweaver.  I didn't write them.  I have attempted to change the order of the lines, but still come up with validation errrors just in a different order.  Here are the lines as the validation report refer to in my template:  I will put the corresponding numbers at the beginning of the appropriate lines...
    Thank you for any suggestions anyone has.

  • Why do RGB colour references look different on screen in Illustrator and Adobe Muse?

    Prior to a December upgrade to CC versions of Illustrator and Photoshop and an upgrade to Muse, RGB colours looked consistent in all 3. Now they do not and I don't understand why there has been this change. I cannot see a way of pulling them all into line. I always synchronise colours via Bridge.

    For colors on the web it is best to use web safe colors. Non-websafe colors can and will give different looks in different browsers and file types.

  • Why does Lightroom (and Photoshop) use AdobeRGB and/or ProPhoto RGB as default color spaces, when most monitors are standard gamut (sRGB) and cannot display the benefits of those wider gamuts?

    I've asked this in a couple other places online as I try to wrap my head around color management, but the answer continues to elude me. That, or I've had it explained and I just didn't comprehend. So I continue. My confusion is this: everywhere it seems, experts and gurus and teachers and generally good, kind people of knowledge claim the benefits (in most instances, though not all) of working in AdobeRGB and ProPhoto RGB. And yet nobody seems to mention that the majority of people - including presumably many of those championing the wider gamut color spaces - are working on standard gamut displays. And to my mind, this is a huge oversight. What it means is, at best, those working this way are seeing nothing different than photos edited/output in sRGB, because [fortunately] the photos they took didn't include colors that exceeded sRGB's real estate. But at worst, they're editing blind, and probably messing up their work. That landscape they shot with all those lush greens that sRGB can't handle? Well, if they're working in AdobeRGB on a standard gamut display, they can't see those greens either. So, as I understand it, the color managed software is going to algorithmically reign in that wild green and bring it down to sRGB's turf (and this I believe is where relative and perceptual rendering intents come into play), and give them the best approximation, within the display's gamut capabilities. But now this person is editing thinking they're in AdobeRGB, thinking that green is AdobeRGB's green, but it's not. So any changes they make to this image, they're making to an image that's displaying to their eyes as sRGB, even if the color space is, technically, AdobeRGB. So they save, output this image as an AdobeRGB file, unaware that [they] altered it seeing inaccurate color. The person who opens this file on a wide gamut monitor, in the appropriate (wide gamut) color space, is now going to see this image "accurately" for the first time. Only it was edited by someone who hadn't seen it accurately. So who know what it looks like. And if the person who edited it is there, they'd be like, "wait, that's not what I sent you!"
    Am I wrong? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I shoot everything RAW, and I someday would love to see these photos opened up in a nice, big color space. And since they're RAW, I will, and probably not too far in the future. But right now I export everything to sRGB, because - internet standards aside - I don't know anybody who I'd share my photos with, who has a wide gamut monitor. I mean, as far as I know, most standard gamut monitors can't even display 100% sRGB! I just bought a really nice QHD display marketed toward design and photography professionals, and I don't think it's 100. I thought of getting the wide gamut version, but was advised to stay away because so much of my day-to-day usage would be with things that didn't utilize those gamuts, and generally speaking, my colors would be off. So I went with the standard gamut, like 99% of everybody else.
    So what should I do? As it is, I have my Photoshop color space set to sRGB. I just read that Lightroom as its default uses ProPhoto in the Develop module, and AdobeRGB in the Library (for previews and such).
    Thanks for any help!
    Michael

    Okay. Going bigger is better, do so when you can (in 16-bit). Darn, those TIFs are big though. So, ideally, one really doesn't want to take the picture to Photoshop until one has to, right? Because as long as it's in LR, it's going to be a comparatively small file (a dozen or two MBs vs say 150 as a TIF). And doesn't LR's develop module use the same 'engine' or something, as ACR plug-in? So if your adjustments are basic, able to be done in either LR Develop, or PS ACR, all things being equal, choose to stay in LR?

    PS RGB Workspace:  ProPhotoRGB and I convert any 8-bit documents to 16-bit before doing any adjustments.
    Why does one convert 8-bit pics to 16-bit? Not sure if this is an apt comparison, but it seems to me that that's kind of like upscaling, in video. Which I've always taken to mean adding redundant information to a file so that it 'fits' the larger canvas, but to no material improvement. In the case of video, I think I'd rather watch a 1080p movie on an HD (1080) screen (here I go again with my pixel-to-pixel prejudice), than watch a 1080p movie on a 4K TV, upscaled. But I'm ready to be wrong here, too. Maybe there would be no discernible difference? Maybe even though the source material were 1080p, I could still sit closer to the 4K TV, because of the smaller and more densely packed array of pixels. Or maybe I only get that benefit when it's a 4K picture on a 4K screen? Anyway, this is probably a different can of worms. I'm assuming that in the case of photo editing, converting from 8 to 16-bit allows one more room to work before bad things start to happen?
    I'm recent to Lightroom and still in the process of organizing from Aperture. Being forced to "this is your life" through all the years (I don't recommend!), I realize probably all of my pictures older than 7 years ago are jpeg, and probably low-fi at that. I'm wondering how I should handle them, if and when I do. I'm noting your settings, ssprengel.
    ssprengel Apr 28, 2015 9:40 PM
    I save my PS intermediate or final master copy of my work as a 16-bit TIF still in the ProPhotoRGB, and only when I'm ready to share the image do I convert to sRGB then 8-bits, in that order, then do File / Save As: Format=JPG.
    Part of the same question, I guess - why convert back to 8-bits? Is it for the recipient?  Do some machines not read 16-bit? Something else?
    For those of you working in these larger color spaces and not working with a wide gamut display, I'd love to know if there are any reasons you choose not to. Because I guess my biggest concern in all of this has been tied to what we're potentially losing by not seeing the breadth of the color space we work in represented while making value adjustments to our images. Based on what several have said here, it seems that the instances when our displays are unable to represent something as intended are infrequent, and when they do arise, they're usually not extreme.
    Simon G E Garrett Apr 29, 2015 4:57 AM
    With 8 bits, there are 256 possible values.  If you use those 8 bits to cover a wider range of colours, then the difference between two adjacent values - between 100 and 101, say - is a larger difference in colour.  With ProPhoto RGB in 8-bits there is a chance that this is visible, so a smooth colour wedge might look like a staircase.  Hence ProPhoto RGB files might need to be kept as 16-bit TIFs, which of course are much, much bigger than 8-bit jpegs.
    Over the course of my 'studies' I came across a side-by-side comparison of either two color spaces and how they handled value gradations, or 8-bit vs 16-bit in the same color space. One was a very smooth gradient, and the other was more like a series of columns, or as you say, a staircase. Maybe it was comparing sRGB with AdobeRGB, both as 8-bit. And how they handled the same "section" of value change. They're both working with 256 choices, right? So there might be some instances where, in 8-bit, the (numerically) same segment of values is smoother in sRGB than in AdobeRGB, no? Because of the example Simon illustrated above?
    Oh, also -- in my Lumix LX100 the options for color space are sRGB or AdobeRGB. Am I correct to say that when I'm shooting RAW, these are irrelevant or ignored? I know there are instances (certain camera effects) where the camera forces the shot as a jpeg, and usually in that instance I believe it will be forced sRGB.
    Thanks again. I think it's time to change some settings..

  • Why does my terminal prompt look like this?

    The computer name is 'Travis', and always has been.
    Hmmm...
    Further investigating shows a computer by that name on the network with a different IP address. The DHCP server shows my IP address as associated with my computer name, 'Travis'.
    So could this be an OS X network error where it's picking up the computer name from something like WINS or DNS and not updating it if the IP lease changes? And if so, why does it not simply use the given name specified by the user instead?
    As far as the network is concerned, my computer name is 'Travis', as it should be.

    Hello and thank you for trying to help me out. When I click on the itunes icon on my desktop, it does the preparing to install.... on my laptop, when I click on the icon, itunes opens automatically. I really can't figure out why one does this and the other does not.
    Apparently, I was not having trouble connecting to the itunes store like I thought. Many other people complain of the same problem I had---the connecting to the itunes store progress bar goes halfway, stops, and then all I see is a blank white page that says itunes store. Well, after playing around, and clicking on VIEW and SHOW sidebar browser, I was able to see the itunes store! Yay!! It was so simple, it was unreal that so many people are having the same problem I thought I was having, connecting, when all that was was a VIEW issue.
    As far as my desktop doing the preparing to install, I don't get it. I have uninstalled itunes9 and redownloaded it, reinstalled it. Same problem. Preparing to install. No matter what itunes icon I click on, or even if I click ont he application itself from it's folder. Any ideas?
    So just forget about my connection problem---it was not a problem after all. Yet one pc does preparing to install when the itunes icon is clicked on, and the other pc does not. Both are running windows vista home premium. One is a desktop, one a laptop. I can't figure it out.

  • Why does opening and closing FPGA references increase Windows XP handles by 3?

    Hello.
    We run a test system here that uses TestStand to communicate
    to a number of Labview VI modules which in turn communicates to a
    PXI-7833R FPGA. Everything has been working fine except after a long time running Labview would get an out of memory error. I discovered
    after a particular VI was run 100,000 times, the number of handles in Windows XP Task
    Manager grew to about 370,000. The number of threads and processes remains stable and normal. Closing Labview removes all the excessive handles.
    I tried an experiment to create a standalone VI (ie: no TestStand) which simply opens the FPGA VI reference then closes the reference. This is repeated 4 times in the same VI. The number of handles in Windows XP Task
    Manager increased by 12 each time the VI was run. No errors. This indicates closing the FPGA reference might not be working.
    Why does this happen? Is there a way to avoid it? The version of Labview is 8.5.1.
    Appreciate any help here. Thanks.
    -Dave

    could be related to this known issue--
    FPGA FIFO reset behavior—When you use an FPGA target
    emulator, FPGA FIFOs reset when the VI is stopped and then started
    again. When you use an FPGA target with Interactive Front Panel
    Communication, FPGA FIFOs do not reset when the FPGA VI is stopped and
    then started again. To reset the FIFO, right-click the FPGA target in
    the Project Explorer window and select Download
    from the shortcut menu. When you control an FPGA VI using Programmatic
    FPGA Interface Communication, use the Close FPGA VI Reference function
    with the Close and Reset shortcut menu option selected or the Invoke Method with the Reset method selected to reset FPGA FIFOs
    see Knowledgebase
    Also remeber to load the FPGA Read/Write VI's dynamically from testStand and dump them after.  Thechange to the data type causes the vi to need to recompile so it can't stay in memory if you need different types of data.
