Working with raw Microphone data...

so I'm creating an audio recorder and I'm writing the floats from the SampleDataEvent to a byteArray.  Everything works fine locally, but we need to store these files on our server.  I have tried to use Sound.load with the url of the byteArray however I get an IO Error which I assume is prob. because this file is not an mp3.  What I need to do is either find out what type of file the byteArray actually is, so that we can have our backend re-encode from this file type to an mp3, or I need to convert on the front end, to an mp3 and just send that new byteArray along.  I found Thibalt's WaveEncoder library, but this encodes to Wav files, not mp3's.  Any help or suggestions out there about how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
BK

It is not in a popular format.  It is simply RAW audio data in FLOATS.
A WAV file is really a container, not a format in it self, it can store multiple types of formats, with or without compression.
Do note the second sentence.  A good part of audio conversion tools expect raw audio data to be in integers, while the raw data that you get from the mic is actually in FLOAT, which is not the same a DOUBLE.  Flash's Number is a Double.
You also have to be carefull with Endianes of your ByteArray, as this is also very important.

  • Working with RAW files in PSE9:  Doable or better to use PSE12?

    I have PSE 9 and will soon get a camera with RAW capability.  I notice that Adobe no longer supports PSE 9.  Am I in for trouble if I don't upgrade to PSE 12 since I don't know how to work with RAW files?  It sounds as if I will need something to convert RAW files?  Where do I get it?  Is it a big deal for a beginner with no software skills?

    You can download a free DNG Converter from Adobe and then convert your RAWs to DNGs which can be used in PSE9.
    You don't need PSE12, but if you want to purchase PSE 12, you get the most current features in the Raw processor (which in my opinion is a huge improvement over what is available in PSE9), and you don't need the extra step of converting to DNG.

  • Photoshop CS2 will not work with RAW images in the Minolta DimAge A2.  It use to work fine

    I have used Photoshop CS 2 with my DimAge A2 for over 5 years in the RAW format.  Now it will not work with RAW with my camera.  I am using Vista 64.Any answers ?  Thanks

    It would seem to me that you have probably had to reinstall Photoshop CS 2.  If that is the case, then you should download and install Camera Raw 3.7.  The version that was on your install disk was updated several times.  And one of those updates probably included support for your camera.  Install ACR 3.7 and see if that helps.

  • Working with RAW files in iPhoto 5.0.4 and Elements 4.0.1

    I take photos in RAW mode and download them to iPhoto. When I try to edit the photo in iPhoto, the picture is a tiny little file that is impossible to enlarge with any sort of clarity. Also, the word "RAW" does not appear anywhere on the iPhoto window like I read it is supposed to.
    When I drag the file to Photoshop Elements, I get an editing window that has none of the tools usually associated with JPEG files. I get a separate window in which I can darken or lighten the image, that's it.
    Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. No one in their right mind would ever use RAW if this is how it works.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Jack!
    If you're new working with RAW files, your right, it just doesn't make sense. RAW <imho> is a bit overrated. One thing you will need to keep in mind when shooting in RAW, is you will still need to take a well exposed image. What RAW files will allow are CHANGES in all areas of the image v. JPEG which may allow you to ADJUST a few settings in the image. My only suggestion would be to kepp playing around with PSE until you get the hang of it, it is an excellent image editing software. But realize, a well exposed JPEG and RAW file are hard to tell apart...
    Personally, I do not directly download RAW files through iPhoto but will create a folder and download to here, and simply drage folder to iPhoto to import (which are then 'converted' into JPEG files). This way I have the original RAW images safely located outside of iPhoto as well as in iPhoto. You should set Elements as your choice of application to edit files inside iPhoto.
    Good luck, Rick

  • Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
    CS5 is history and it is not longer supported.  There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
    You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

  • Working with Validation of Data

    Hi. VC Experts.
                             I am currently working with VC 6.0. Where I am working with Validation of Data.
    we have fields like Emp, Earea, Joining date (month & Year),  Ending date((month & Year) etc.,
    Here we have one push button 'select'.
                         Here what my client asks is unless and until, user fills all details then only
    the submit but should be enabled. Otherwise submit button should be in disable mode.
    I could be able to write formula for 'submit' button's properties( Disable) like this.
    BOOL(IF(LEN(@Emp_code)<>0 AND  LEN(@Earea)<>0 AND LEN(@Edept)<>0 AND DSUB(DVAL(@Joining_date), DVAL(@Ending_date),'D')<0 ,false,true))
                     Here condition is always make sure that 'Joining date' should be greater than 'Ending date' .  where it is working fine for all fields except Calender Year month(Joining date & Ending date).
                                the calender year month format is  Example : """" May 2007""""
    But it is considering only month But not year.
                  Can you kindly provide your inputs.
                                                                                 Thanks & Regards

    Hi Vijay,
    sorry
    please rewrite the formula for the button disable as::
    NOTE:: in the formula i have used '<''>'  which nothing but a lessthan symbol and greater than symbol without single quotes (i.e. not equal to)
    BOOL(IF(LEN(@Emp_code) '<''>'0 AND LEN(@Earea)'<''>'0 AND LEN(@Edept)'<''>'0 AND DSUB(DVAL(@Joining_date), DVAL(@Ending_date),'D')<0 ,false,true))
    and make sure you have placed the date picker UI controls for your date functionality.
    this will not work for calender UI control on the form.
    and othe important point is the joining date should be less than ending date then only the button will be enable..
    if you want your joining date should be greater than ending date then write the formaula like this::
    BOOL(IF(LEN(@Emp_code)<>0 AND LEN(@Earea)'<''>'0 AND LEN(@Edept)'<''>'0 AND DSUB(DVAL(@Joining_date), DVAL(@Ending_date),'D')>0 ,false,true))
    i tried this
    its working for me

  • Working with RAW files

    I have a Nikon D200 and have been taking some pictures in their RAW format (.NEF) and have some questions. It transfers the pictures fine but then does some other weird stuff.
    Sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, when working in iPhoto, it changes the format to a jpeg and while others remain RAW. I looked in my iPhoto Library in my user folder and it looks like iPhoto automatically converts every RAW picture into a jpeg. But in the iPhoto window, sometimes you're looking at the jpeg and sometimes you're looking at the RAW. Is there some way to make iPhoto act more consistently? And can I make iPhoto stop automatically creating a jpeg version of each RAW photo?
    Also, I exported some RAW pictures as TIFF's to work with in photoshop. Once there, the pictures only have a dpi resolution of 72 pixels per square inch. That's way too low for my purposes. Does anybody know if there is a setting or something where I can change this?

  • Working with RAW images without lens profile?

    Does it make sense to work on RAW images if no lens profile exist for the used specific lens?
    I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion.
    How did you work with RAW images?

    There are many advantages to using RAW, so yes it makes sense to work on RAW images even if no profile exists for the lens.
    I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion.
    How did you work with RAW images?
    You can create your own lens profiles. Or you can manually adjust each image. Or you can set up presets for different focal lengths. There's a lot of ways to go.

  • Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs using Aperture or Lightroom and perhaps Photoshop?

    Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs in Aperture and Photoshop, or do I need a more powerful MacBook ?   The relative lack of weight of the AIr is what attracts me to it.

    For doing Photography with RAW files in either Aperture or Photoshop, the new MacBook Air is fine, but for Photoshop CS6 some of the filters and plugins really need a better graphics card and plenty of RAM.
    You'll also want an external disk if you are going to be doing lots of shooting.
    Summary:
    Yes, you can use an air but you'll want external storage and at least 8GB of ram.
    Or go MacBook Pro with 16GB ram with the 650M card.

  • I have a client who was working with Now to Date, which is now obsolete.  She is looking for a mac calendar program that is as close to Now to Date as possible.  She has installed Outlook 2012 but finds that is takes too much time to enter data.  Help?

    I have a client who has been using Now to Date on her Mac.  That program is now obscure and she is looking for software that is extremely similar.  She has tried Outlook for Mac and it is too labor-intensive for her.  She wants a professional look, and something that is not linked to e-mail as she works with a lot of proprietary information.  Help?

    I could not identify that app in macupdate.com. If a Calendar program, what about iCal? did she try it and disliked? If you go to macupdate.com, and type ‘calendar’ in seach filed, you will be given a lot of apps, you or she should test what it most appropriate for your/her needs.

  • PSE 6 - fixed the organiser to work with raw now editor won't load

    Could use some pointers - tech savvy but no expert :-)
    Couldn't get the organiser to work with CR2 files from the canon 50D. Download camera raw 5.4 plug-in. Deleted old version to remove the two entries in plug-in issue. Organiser seems to work as expected - except for the odd hang. When I now try to load the editor I get 'file not found'. Which file ?

    Ok so I worked out how to get into recovery mode. Turns out I was doing it wrong! I used an external USB drive to access recovery mode.
    I ran disk utility which identified and fixed some errors on the HD. I thought this might solve the problem but when I restarted the same problem occurred. I then restored my time machine backup which thankfully worked.
    I tried installing mavericks again! Upon restarting and completing the install, I got the message 'OSX has been installed. Your computer will now restart'. After the countdown had finished I got the beach ball which span eternally again, just like last time. After about 10 mins I did a hard reset and again OSX won't load.
