similar to: Is Vorbis prone to clipping?

I've just installed RC2 and I'm very excited about the quality. It's so much better than MP3. This is the first version I've used since I just found out about Ogg Vorbis. I did notice that very high frequencies seem to be missing but since not many people can hear much above 18 KHz it's not much of an issue. I suppose this resolves the hiss problem so prevalent in MP3.

I have recently moved an asterisk system to a new location. This location is experiencing terrible echo. I installed the HPEC from Digium but that has caused a new problem. When HPEC is enabled and more that 16 taps are used, the audio from the outside caller gets clipped. Instead of hearing: Hello, my name is Mike one hears He o, m ame ike If the taps are set to less than 16, there

It appears that both the echo canceller and the noise reducer (NR) introduce rather severe clicking artifacts when presented with audio that has slightly overloaded the A/D converters. I am talking about speech that sounds just slightly distorted, due to clipping, when simply played back. If I pass that speech through the echo canceller or the noise reducer, it acquires really loud clicks and/or

The software page's only currently maintained Ogg Vorbis player for Mac-people is the iTunes plugin that seems to be for OS X only. Is there no player for Mac OS 8 or 9? <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word

Hi again, On a related not, I think I read in the mailing-list archives that the Pentium III wasn't "ideal" for .ogg operations; are AMD's processors more appropriate/do they perform better?

First of all, I'm using WinXP and love vorbis! :-) Since I just joined the mailing list, I figured I would answer the Winamp question. Winamp has different EQ algorithms - they have a "fast layer 2/3 EQ" option for mp3s, and they have a PCM EQ for all other formats (wma, ogg, etc.). While the mp3 EQ sounds ok, the PCM EQ (which gets applied to ogg files) is absolutely horrible. I

does anyone on this list have any idea of what an HDCD is? i have a cd and that logo is on the back, and windows media player 7 recognizes it as an hdcd and displays the logo, but i dont know if that means it is supposed to sound better or what. it sounds fine......feel free to email back to me and not to the list as this is off topic...........uhh..........i am ripping it to ogg vorbis! =P

Can someone who really knows the Ogg command-line encoder, help recommend the best setting for 33.6k modem stereo music streaming? (56k doesn't count cuz many people's 56k modems don't work at a full 56k, and I want them to be able to surf CD Baby at the same time as listening. 2 minutes / 120 seconds of audio should be about 400k.) I'm at my wit's end: tried everything I

You have the point. "I get very distorted speech when using libspeex in my application. What¡¯s wrong? .... If the input speech has an amplitude close to ¡¾2^15, it is possible that at decoding, the amplitude be a bit higher than that, causing clipping when saving as 16-bit PCM." This is one of FAQs in 'speex-manual' you wrote. I guess amplitudes close to 2^15 bother me. Do

I'm building a phone-in demo system to use for introducing Asterisk to prospective clients. One of the things I'm wary of is their likely preconceptions that VoIP systems will have poor audio quality. As a result, I'd like to ensure that the voice prompts I'm using have the best possible audio quality. Is it possible to use sound files at higher than 8kHz sampling? My callers

I noticed that clipping occurs in lossy audio compression even if there is no clipping in the original file (though the original file has peaks that are just below the maximum). I know that this happens due to all the filtering involved during compression, but I'm wondering just how audible this clipping is because I don't hear anything wrong. I mean, as things are now, is it safe to say

Hi Guys, I've done some line recordings, and to save space compressed straight to vorbis, and as such have no access to the original. Upon listening, I found the volume to be quite quiet and I am wondering if there exists a native vorbis normaliser, so I don't have to decompress to wave, normalise and recompress. Does anybody know of such a beast? I'm aware of

Hi all, I routinesly rips my CDs to WAV and then convert to ogg vorbis format for use in my car and portable player. I don't usually notice anything amiss, but on the last track of Mike Oldfield's "Music of the Spheres" album ("Musica Universalis", at the very end crescendo), the converted .ogg file exhibits terrible distortion (sounds like digital clipping). This

I am plotting subsets of my data, using ylim. This works fine, but the outer margin line widths of the plot are thin, due to clipping. If I include > trellis.par.set(clip=list(panel = "off")) then the outer margin line widths are fine, but the outlying data is visible. Is there any way of achieving both correct margin line widths and clipping of outlying data? Thanks, Dan Bebber

Hello! When I draw points on grid's viewport with clip set to TRUE clipping does not have effect on some symbols. It happens only when drawing over gtkDevice (GTK ver. 1.2) (with postscript device clipping works OK - take a look at this screenshot http://www.hppi.troitsk.ru/Kondrin/clipbug.png) and only with symbols that are drawn with commands other than gdk_draw_polygon() (i.e. circles

Dear all, I have a so large image (43,000 x 18,000 pixels) and I need clip this image with a smallest one (1000x1000 pixels). I can read the second image using rgdal package. But the first image can´t be read on my system because if memory limitation (I have about 2GB availabe). So I would like hear from you if anyone have some suggestin in this regards. I have also ArcGis 8.6 ans Erdas 8.3

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hello, there was a discussion about defining a TRACKTOTAL tag which ended in the conclusion that this is actually metadata about an album and we need a metadata program (like iTunes) to manage it. Well iTunes is about to be released for Windows. For everyone who likes free software or is using Linux: there's a program called prokyon3

I absolutly love the program, have been waiting for it for a long time. But, the Ogg Vorbis support is not good.

Hi (hope I am in the right mailing list!) I really can't figure out how to use Vorbisgain in OggdropXPd - it doesn't seem to work so far. Can Someone pls. explain detailed (steps) what to do when using Vorbisgain in OggdropXPd? I understand the settings for Vorbisgain are in "decoding options"... why? What I really want is the function of Mp3Gain on Ogg-files, and I thought
