Best sampling depth for digitizing cassette recordings
I recently started digitizing my cassette recordings at 44.1kHz/24 bits because it must be "better", right? But I cannot think of why it would be better than 16 bits. The cassettes are of quite high quality, recorded on metal or high-quality chrome tape (I'm a bit surprised by the good sha...

Conclusion: archiving format
Thanks all for the good discussion. As far as storage media is concerned, I was using data DVD's but began to have worries about longevity, so have decided to use 'live' hard drive storage. That is, just keep it on my main computer hard drive. I just upgraded it to 750GB and my archive is a small pe...

what file format for long term archiving?
FLAC seems to have the best compression of the lossless formats, but what are the chances I will be able to decode the file 30 years from now? In general I would think an open source format like flac would be more trustworthy over the long run as opposed to a proprietary format like apple, but I did...

Had a bunch of crashes today, finally narrowed it down to the size of the file, which is about 2 hours long, a WAV file converted to .amad. When I try to convert it to an Apple mpeg-4 file (either using "export to itunes library" or "Save As...") it gets close to the end of the p...

Re: Spoken Podcast encoder
Martin, I finally got a chance to try this out, and it doesn't seem to work. I can select lower bit rates, e.g. 32 in the AAC settings dialog, but when I look at the saved file, it is the same size as the 64kbps file, and in the Finder info it says "Total bit rate: 63". Also, I wonder if i...

Spoken Podcast encoder
In iTunes Preferences, in the "Import Settings" dialog, Apple offers a "Spoken Podcast" AAC encoder. Does Amadeus Pro provide a similar encoder? In the Details of this dialog box, the encoder is described as "32kbps (mono)/64kbps (stereo), 22.5 khz, using voice filtering, op...
