The 44.1kHz it's the sampling frequency, i.e. the frequency at wich the encoder samples the audio data. It has nothing to do to the frequency of the audio data. You can generate a 1000Hz sine wave, sample it at 44kHz and play it back: what you hear is still the 1000Hz sound. Take a look here. Actually there is a reason to why CD audio data is sampled at ...

TL;DR: it depends on the recordings. You can't make a blanket statement about it. Vinyl has one advantage over CDs: mastered audio, pressed to vinyl, cannot be extreme in its nature. Brick wall limiting just doesn't work on vinyl because the extreme peaks and valleys it creates in the playback groove cause the needle to skip and jump out of the groove. The ...

You'll actually get arguably better quality from your CD. At best those MP3s will be encoded from the same masters as the CDs, except lossily compressed to MP3, while your CDs are uncompressed PCM audio. Any improvements to the production process - and AFAIK there haven't been any major improvements in quality at the professional level (take that with a ...

I assume you mean bit-errors on the physical medium. The CD format uses a technology called cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon code (CIRC), which adds checksums and redundant data to allow detection and correction of low-level bit errors. Usually, this is handled transparently by the CD player's firmware. Upon detecting errors, the firmware will first try to ...

I may have found a program that does direct to CD audio recording, but feel like I need to ask you to not try this approach, and consider a normal recording workflow. If you're sending audio to the CD burner, then you're in HUGE danger of losing your recording if anything goes wrong with the computer, or with the disk. It seems like you're choosing between ...

Does this help you? To create an audio CD that can be played in any standard audio CD player: Export your tracks from ProTools as AIFF or WAV files (i.e. "Bounce to disk"). Save them to a folder in a known location, such as the Desktop. Launch iTunes from the Dock (if not on the Dock, you'll find it in the Applications folder on your hard ...

As with any DAW, export it to a stereo .WAV file (in Pro Tools I believe this is called "bounce to disk", and then burn that file to an audio CD in your favorite CD burning program. TomWij gave a great answer using Pro Tools and iTunes but this can be done with most any DAW and burning software.

You're going to want to qualify exactly what "better" means. The quality of sound is a highly subjective topic, especially where digital and analog recording media are concerned. Many people prefer the sound of vinyl. Lots of people prefer "cleaner" digital sound as well. Personally, I like the sound of recordings on vinyl. This includes the cracks and ...

There are actually a couple of different routes here. If your CD player absolutely must be at one location and you must be at another, you could look at squeezebox, or any of the home audio companies out there. There are many products that will do what you want - some will require some computer/IT knowledge. What might be much more suitable is to stop ...

The device you linked to seems to me a simple and elegant solution to your problem. I don't think you'd have to worry about the location of the antennae on your car. The transmitters are strong enough to reach either end of the car. Also, that antennae has a lead that runs all the way to the back of your deck. It will pick up FM signal along the length ...

Good answer Mr Shunz. The Wikipedia article you included has this passage: ... however in some cases ultrasonic sounds do interact with and modulate the audible part of the frequency spectrum (intermodulation distortion). For an explanation of Intermodulation Distortion (IMD), see ...

I'm quoting this from here: Drive read offsets Very few CD drives actually start reading data from audio CDs exactly at the sector requested by DAE software. There are drives that are off by over 1 sector (1/75th of a second), but most are off by much less (1/250 to 1/350 second). Most modern CD drives have "Accurate Stream" technology, so there's no ...

I prefer the sound of well looked after vinyl through a decent record deck - and enough people feel the same that high end audio companies tend to specialise in this area. A CD will sound the same every time, but the vinyl will sound warm and lovely at first...while degrading over time. I have to admit I prefer the sound of a good tape deck to a CD so ...

Vinyl has the potential to sound better than CD, especially for frequencies higher than 10kHz. But to get the full potential of the vinyl, the copy of the vinyl must be one of the first from the master, not been played before, and you must have a very good record player that is correctly calibrated and have a new pickup. Every time you play the record you ...
