Why might you wish to mute the Windows sound but not mute the speakers?

First responder: Well I like to mute Windows sounds from the control panel so that while I listen to music streamed from my computer I can use the computer and not have to listen to distraction computer noises.

Second responder: If you would go down to the speaker icon in your system tray, you will see the word "Mixer" under the slider. Clicking the mixer will bring up a window which gives a slider to each of your open applications. One of these will be the Windows Sounds, which you can mute independently of all other open applications. This is fairly useful for someone who doesn't want to hear Microsoft's OS yelling at them when something horrible happens, but still wants to hear iTunes.

What is the best file format and codec for audio?

Apple Lossless Format I believe. I think any Lossless format is best for soundquality, as it compresses much less of the original version

Answer^

If anything rip 360 bit rate .MP3 file format. Works with all MP3 players, phones and sounds fairly good. One draw back is file size, however, with Storage space getting cheaper and cheaper no one should worry about file size. Go for quality, your ears will appreciate it.
360 MP3 does not exist. The highest bit rate it can go is 320. Since MP3 is lossy (and the technology dates back to 1980s) it is not a quality sound file.


While 320 MP3 is a decent audio format for a portable player, it is lossy, ergo it is not the best sound quality. Apple Lossless is obviously lossless but the greatest audio format is FLAC, 'free lossless audio codec.' I have OK Computer by Radiohead playing at bit rates of greater than 3000!

^ the best is .wav / 32 bit float / 48.000 khz, whick reaches up to 6144 kbps!!

^FLAC is the best audio format for performance and quality. FLAC is lossless so it will always be as good as the source material. A higher bitrate in mp3 format was either unnecessary or would have been the same if encoded in FLAC.


i would have to disagree with all of you i have tested flac. ogg. wmv ect and i think .ape is better especially over .flac

i still think .ogg is better than .mp3 though!!

^i disagree
.wav is the best audio format. it is a lossless compression which does not lower the quality of the audio like .mp3 might do with very soft or very loud sounds.
.wav is also the format many labels use, so more softwares are available out there to edit and play .wav audio files

the first part i got from my college textbook about audio editing, "a multimedia approach" by Guzdial




Most all of these answers are good, but it depends what you're looking for. All of these formats can have completely different outcomes depending on your Hardware / Software. Audio files such as WAV, FLAC, and AIFF are all very good, but It's capabilities are specified in it's usage. Running Logic Pro on a Mac is completely different than using Ableton or FL on a PC. If you are looking for the HIGHEST POSSIBLE QUALITY ACHIEVABLE, then you might want to look into some of the Application specific files. I guess what I'm saying is, is find what fits your tastes. If you're producing, you can get just about as crazy with things with files size for crystal clear sound as you want, but if you're listening to mainstream audio, I'd go for something very compatible such as the WAV Format.

What does that screen do in front of a recording microphone?

It's called a pop filter. It can be used to protect your microphone from spit, but it's main use is to remove plosions. When you get up close to a microphone and talk, when you use "p" sounds, "f" sounds, "s" sounds, and things of the sorts, you get a popping, crackling, or blowing sound. A pop filter just reduces that drastically.
