Good morring
Today i am trying to make my own ringtones in wav format,i am using cool edit pro 2.0 and all is going well HOWEVER when i save the cropped mp3 files as wav a 10 second clip is saving at around 2mb. Can i make the final wav smaller somehow?????
Hi there
WAV is the standard format for PC Audio (as AVI is for video) -and can come in a variety of bit rates but 16 Bit/ 44.1 Khz is CD quality, unfortunately the high bit rate means that you eat up a lot of storage (there is a calculation but I can't remember it - something like 10Mb a minute ??)
To get the file size smaller you need to lower the sample rate to something like 8 bit/22Khz.
But I'm guessing that the ring tone is a piece of music or something, due to the file size, and there's no way you'll be able to reduce the size without suffering degradation. For things like "rings" and "bleeps" you wouldn't have to worry...
Basically the very thing that enables you to compress a WAV and make it still sound good is MP3 compression, but we aren't allowed to use them............... :x
Surely someone could hack it tho? It occurs to me that a more 'microsoft' solution would be to support WMA for ringtones..
What actually plays them back? If only it were Mediaplayer eh?
So are you saying there is NO way to do what im asking????
like spence posted then you can make your wav files smaller by lowering the samplerate and the bit resolution
samplerate deside what the higest frequence being played is
because of nyquist rule you have to sample with 2 times the higest frequence you will be playign so
if you lower the frequense to 22Khz then 11Khz will be the higest frequence it will play
when it's a ring tone to a phone which speaker is not really THX then 11Khz is ok
the bit from 8 to 16 deside how big a difference there is between amplitude og the samples
i sugest that you mess around with the file lowering sample rate and or the bit resolution and compare them by quality and size
hello...
what piece of software would you suggest doing this with?
is there away to make the .wav file (ringtone) louder without making the volume louder on the phone?
thanks
jay
cooledit
or
sound forge
are good programs too mess around with sound (I'm poet and i dident even know it )
and yes you can raise the volume in the file
using cool edit pro i have done what you suggested with regard to quality however the end result (the size of the wav) does not change
try changeing the sample from stereo to mono as well, I have seen massive reductions when useing just mono which is perfectly good for a ringtone, I have a 22 second wav with 16000 Mono 16bit and it sounds fine and is only 692 Kb
you may be missing something I think - these actions should make the file smaller, they have to.. You need to aim for "convert sample rate" which will be in Edit somewhere..
Failing that send me the wav file and I'll sort it for you
I use Wavelab personally - I'm into audio processing/editing big style..
Yeah think i must but in saying that using sound forge 6 seems to have helped as i now have a 28second cip at just 1.1 meg (where as before it was 5.5meg) but im sure there is a way to SQUEEZ it a little smaller
make sure it's
8bit
and make sure it's 11Khz (you could try to see how it sounds if you make it lower ?)
make sure it's mono as in joinet stereo
why such a long clip anyway ?
i think it can repeat somehow like if you have a clip where you yell
"the phones ringing einstein" should it not play that over and over again ?
posted this before, but here goes again... two really nice free tools for doing all the audio you ever want:
Audacity - you can apply filters, reducing noise, increasing decreasing bass or amplification
www.dbpoweramp.com - great tool, allows you to change almost any audio format to any audio format. Plus allows you to save wav files in any bit rate/frequency, thereby reducing size (quality) to suit your need.
hope this helps.
Even easier - use Winamp. It has a diskwriter plugin (in the output preferences) which can be configured to push out good quality SMALL audio. I've manged to get a whole song as a ringtone in just 2.5mb

HI,
i install
"Hacked Camera.APK mod of Potatoman"
one of the change is
"- Records Audio in 192kbps/44.1Khz quality (CD Quality) rather than stock (64kbps/16khz quality)"
my question is
1. the mic is more sensitive to noise if i change from 16khz to 44.1 khz??
here shows comparison of camera quality:
iphone 4:

the iphone 4 sound more beter from galaxy s2
2. if i return the original stock (16khz) this will improve my sound quality when i record video??
3. Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the record microphone and raise the sensitivity of mic noise filter?
4. what is the problem in my s2?
thanks

the ( .... ) in the link is breaking it
i fixed
thanks
you can hear that in iphone 4 is smooth and in s2 i have noise
Although the iphone 4 is closer to the speaker we hear smooth
since i cant hear any distortion
the sound quality is great
BUT
its louder than the iphone
uninstall potatoman
i try with the litening 1.3 also i have noise and loud like the video that i upload
because maybe the litening also have improve (one of the improve litening is 192kbps/44.1Khz)
someone can give the original camera apk? this will help me you think?

I'm having the same problem with audio being over saturated on loud volumes. I wish there was a way to decrease gain. Any idea?
You can try to use my lgCamera. That app can set variuosly sound parameters (sampling rate and bitrate).

Hi all,
I'm testing what video conversion settings might be good for our Mini. So far, if I use 640-320, it either doesn't fill the screen, or if it does, the people in the video look squashed...
Anyone been testing?
i actually never convert any video since most of the video format simply plays on the phone. what player do you use? i use mxvideo player, the problem when you're converting is, its squeeze the whole frame to fit into inappropriate ratio that's why everything looked squashed.
mxvideo player gives you the zoom option, and you can choose the one that fit you best(might crop the video a bit)
WOW
I just found the BEST settings! I've tried this with my ipod classic so many times and never got it perfect...but for the Mini! Try this!!
I use Format Factory. Handbrake is also good. In format factory, I found the iphone (no idea which version, doesn't say) has the same resolution) though I searched for many devices. I selected that then edited it a tiny bit:
MPEG4(DivX)
480x320
bitrate 576 (or similar)
FPS Default
Aspect Ratio Fully Expand
Sample Rate 44100
Bitrate Default
I've been testing conversion of a 2 minute trailer, you don't want to test on a full film etc. because if it doesn't work out you will waste 1-2 hours every time it's a bad conversion... I've done about 6 tests on a film trailer and this format is absolutely perfect...the entire video is on screen, nothing is squashed, the audio is so crisp and clear...wow! Time to convert en-masse!!
p.s. I have disabled auto-brightness. I highly recommend anyone wishing to convert films etc. to do that...the screen is WAY to dark without disabling auto-brightness.
Try a trailer or other short video on the above settings and see for yourself...
have yu try a full movie & whats tha outcome?
i used xilisoft video coverter 6 ..
the setting i set to Android MP4 profile ..
change the size to 720x480 with high quality
also used a little pan and scan to zoom it a little
and at 30fps..
play it to my mini with stock video player is like watching an HD movie

I have tried this with one of my favourite films and I'm delighted with the progress!
To the other guy...how's the aspect ratio? Nobody is squashed? I'd like to try that too!

If you're asking me ..the aspect ratio is 16:9 ..but when i use pan and scan effect ..it will make it fit to screen without nobody squashed as in because its zoom
Hi all,
I have attempted to make a custom ringtone using WavePad (some free popular sound recording/editing software), and copied it over to the Ringtones folder in my S3 as a 320kps mp3 file. For a short 32 secs, it's weighing in at 1.2mb.
But when I played it back on my S3, it sound horrible compared to the default ringtones already in my S3. They just sound SO MUCH clearer.
Any ideas on how to improve the quality of my custom ringtone?
Hope i'm asking on the correct forum!
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I just tried recording and saving as an OGG format using WavePad, transferred it over to my S3, but no sound came out when selecting that file as a ringtone in the sound settings.
Did I miss something?
This Thread has been featured on The XDA Portal.Thanks to our own Moderator "eagleeyetom".
Note : I'm not responsible if you get a boot loop, but if you do, flash the Back to stock and please report that to me. Thanks.. Higher Bitrate = Bigger Size of the Videos as well .

I'm getting my Nexus 5 tomorrow, will be instantly rooting/unlocking it but after that I'd love to test out your camera mod. I looked at your work with the G2 and I think I am more than qualified to do some proper comparison tests.
I can be tester. Can you also do 16:9 still image capture?
Thanks man. We just flash these in TWRP, yeah?

Awesome. I should have some sort of semi-in depth comparison on Monday (Just checked my shipping and it looks like it's been delayed until Friday, not thursday
LOL ! We still dont have this in India now, so i asked my Uncle who lives in US to get it for me..I have no clue whatsoever..

Well thanks for that.. I replaced the zip actually. I need someone to test intensively with me not on the thread after i put that up.. Thanks for the feedback man.. Sound bitrate seems quiet high too! Next up is dual channel recording and FPS fix..

So I gave this a try, haven't even looked at the pics yet just uploaded them to imageshack, no editing or optimising.
I took a picture of an object indoors and with good lighting, and then took 2 outside shots on my deck, one with flash, one without.
I then flashed the mod and took the same pics again, here we go. The first picture in each one is going to be stock, non mod. The next picture of the same type is going to be of the mod.
Surely the Images are sharper in the second pics.. .. (Purely My View)

Definitely are, except the outdoor deck pic with no flash, to me it seems like the stock photo is better in low light at least in that pic.
But it is nearly 4am and I'm half asleep so who knows.
Just did a video, 24fps.
with V1.1 I have the problem that when I record a video (Back camera) the sound-record stops completely when it is very silent. So the video will have no sound at all in the when there are only silent noises you just can hear louder sounds (they start and stop suddenly). (This sounds like an digital phonecall without "confort noise", if you know what I mean)
I also can upload the video to youtube.
Has anybody else this behavior?

Thank you for the explenation. Yes, this is exactly like it sounds, a noise cancellation.
In my option this is not good when taking a video, it makes it terrible to look a video and the sound stars and stops suddenly all the time. Also you can not hear silent details. Is it possible to deactivate it? With Stock there is no noise cancellation.
Yes Certainly.. I will Upload and Update OP!

:good:
With the Viper, with the same settings much detalizirovannoi and better sound became,the need for pulse has completely disappeared, more stably produces different styles of music for those who do not like to Tinker with settings.
Can u provide some more information?
what...
Please provide more information
Depending on the file name, that could be a ripoff of the other Beats Audio settings. Besides, Beats Audio sounds crap, so no, I wouldn't install that.
Strange logic without trying not listening to judge the quality of the sound in absentia.
No, it is just that I know Beats Audio, and the only equalizer I am using in my speaker setup is the one that flattens out the bass and straightens the mids a little (not pulls it up the bass and highs like Beats Audio). I don't need to listen to that since I already know what Beats Audio does and I do not like it.
beats audio mod for "EXPENSIVE HEADPHONES" ??? DDDDDDDDDDDD whatta fu^k!? Why would anyone buy a decent pair of headphones just to artificially emphasize the bass!? Those kind of mods are for toys, not for real headphones.
