Hi,
What is the difference between 12 bit and 16 bit audio recording mode on my Sony MiniDV Camera? (of course there is a difference in quality, but what? Is it noticable? and what other things does it affect? (the total capacity of the tape…will it enable me to record more time if it was set to 12 bit instead of 16 bit? what other differences are there??

Thanx in advance…

You should not be able to tell the difference between the two. However, 16-bit will provide a better version. Why? The key is a device called an ADC or Analog to Digital Converter. The ADC takes the analog waveform from the microphone input and coverts it to a series of bits.

An analogy would be significant numbers in math. If 12-bit recording has 4096 significant digits, then 16-bit recording has 65536 signifiant digits. However, you may only need 4000 significant digits, so using 12-bit recording would work just fine.

I bought these cd’s at wal-mart and when i got them home I read on the cd "for audio recording" can i still use them to download or save pictures on them?

Yes you can. These are the only kind of discs I use to save my pictures on. They are less expensive and work just as well as far as I can see.

I’m doing some work on voice analysis, and I was told I could use Flash on a webpage to record audio from a client’s attached microphone, and stream it to a server for analysis(while it’s still recording).

1) Is that possible
2) If so, how do I do it?

It’s possible but it requires a complex tangle of expensive $5k to Macromedia Streaming Server , plus licensing for getting the codec which lets you convert from the flv audio format to mp3.

Your best best is to find a a web service that offers this for you and subscribe to them..

Java applets offer a klunky way to do this..

A more polished option is to write a standalone recorder and web uploader, not as integrated but a lot easier to do.

How much would cost a studio which purpose is to mastering/creating or recording audio/music? I mean how much would the hardware cost?
Mastering not mixing messed up.

Depends on what level you want to take your mastering.
You can do with pretty much any software DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) Program and a pair of studio headphones/near-field monitors for less than $1000 or so, but you can go all the way up into the near millions for acoustically treated rooms and line leveled filtered electricity and high end tube based hand built audio equipment.
The best thing to do would be to honestly evaluate your budget (and maybe your credit if you’re very serious about it) and then contact Sweetwater about it.
They will be able to help you figure out what you can use for what you can afford and have a very large selection for you to choose from.
But if you are not able to afford all of this glitz and glam just yet, I would suggest you look into some of the mastering firms. Tunecore, for instance, is offering Mastering for about $65-$100 a song (Depending on the total number of tracks you want mastered) and they will let you preview the masters and will fix anything they do that you consider a mistake for no extra charge.
Hope I have been of some help!!!

I am looking for an audio recording – online, cassette, CD or other – in chinese of the Dao De Jing (sometimes Tao Te Ching)

I’ve looked everywhere I could think of but have run out of ideas… Most are abridged or english audio, or interpretations… I only want the chinese texxt read out

Any help welcome!
Thanks Boon

Exactly what i wanted, and especially thanks for linking to the download itself as I am still a beginner in Hanyu and would not have worked it out.

Xie xie!

i’ve looked, but i have found three different holes on the camera. but i cant tell if any of them are audio recepters. and it wont record audio either. does anyone know?

the polaroid a550 has a built in microphone but I do not know if you can use it to record audio only or if it records only the sound when using the video function.
With the description of the iZone 550 (different camera) I have not found a microphone mentioned.
You can download the user manual for your polaroid digital camera at:
http://www.polaroid.com/products/product_list.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028670&sc=Digital%20Cameras

quite a long list there – with pictures that help identifying your camera.

I’m not talking about windows sound recorder. I need a program that will give me the highest quality sound recording using a high quality mic. Also needs to have time stamping so I can align the audio tracks with my video. I need to record my interviews and background noise for my documentary and it would be alot cheaper to just use my laptop to record the audio than getting an additonal portable recording device.

Have a look into Audacity, its free/open source and *should* do what you’re trying to do

When you use programs to record audio from streamed videos, does your volume effect the recording? For instance if I recorded it while my pc volume was low, would it be low? If my pc volume was set high, was the recording be louder?

It doesn’t matter. One is output and one is input.
