Best way to convert long recorded lecture(wav) to mp3
Finally, found a good recorder which flawlessly records my long lectures and easy transfer to pc. App name : yovisoft recorder.
But size of the recording is huge, 300mb for 2.30 hours lectures. And it gets too heavy on my sd card.
I tried audicity software to convert the wav to mp3 which gave me 200 mb mp3 file. Still huge, isn't it.
Than I directly copied wav to my lumia via mtp. As soon as i copied it prompted to convert. I selected yes, it gave 14mb file but it very dull quality.
I don't have deep knowledge of sounds/frequency/bitrates, please gave me best way of good quality and low in size (up to 25~50mb) way to convert. I have 16gb sd card.
Quick questions
1. Which is best audio format for hearing recorded lectures.
2. Which bitrates-frequency will be ideal for recorded lectures.
3. Any direct software on pc, dedicated for such jobs?

Try audacity. It is a good converter between various formats.
He tried (and misspelled) Audacity, but he clearly didn't know how to use it because he got a huge file. Set the quality of the created file to something like 64kbps (if you use constant bitrate MP3 for voice, that's probably good enough, although MP3 isn't great for voice) and probably mono instead of stereo (halves the size, at the cost of losing the difference between right and left channels if those are present to begin with).
Actually, the fact that over two hours of uncompressed audio was only 300MB is *very* suspicious. For perspective, an audio CD (which is uncompressed, much like WAV) is only 72 minutes of audio (half of what you're trying to store) for roughly 700MB of data. Storing the amount of audio you're talking about at the quality of a CD would take about 1.5GB, not 300MB. Making it mono instead of stereo would halve that, but you're still talking a factor of 2.5x compression that isn't accounted for. Either the recording quality is very poor, or it's already compressed.
Well, the default lame encoding properties offer pretty good compression rate.
He either:
a) didn't have WAV as the original file format
b) Didn't convert to mp3 but to some lossless format.
c)messed up with the lame encoder properties.
hint: usually, bigger numbers tend to generate bigger files. The only exception is the compression rate, which only appears for lossless codecs.
Both of you guys (#2 #3) are genius.
Than thanks for understanding my typo @GoodDayToDie.
I use yovisoft recorder as i said, it gives me wav file, i dint knew all what you detected and conveyed me.
I need time to understand as my background is Accountancy Finance and Taxation.
I will do R&D and revert asap.
Thank you, i found exactly what i was looking for. Stay connected please.

I'm not shure about 3 hours, but it recorded without problem 1,5 hour which was something about 60 Mb. Than you have three options to share:
By creating a file server, uploading to skydrive or saving it to a phone music library and than usual way of sharing files with pc. You can try this app without paying. I'm not shure if it is stable on gdr3 as I'm waiting on my official update for Lumia 920.
Free version fails in long recording, it doesn't even show last recording.
Yovisoft is only the working one. But strange format and size.

Try Wavepad Sound Editor. You would be able to trim any unnecessary parts and when you save it, you can set the bitrate that you want it to be.

There was an update to Instant Incognito Recorder that adressed some bugs (crashes, etc), you can try it again and see if it works, also the dev. added an option to save to music collection so you can copy recordings via USB cable.

• If you get FCs with V4A because of selecting an IRS, it's probably because of the "%" in the file name. You must rename them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
• If an IRS doesn't produce any change, try the fix mentioned here
• For fixing statusbar and notification drawer issues caused by the sound mod, go here
• I've created a quick dirty program to rename WAV to IRS as I forgot to rename some of them. Download wav2irs_renamer.zip from my Google Drive IRS directory.
• Alternatively, you can create a ".nomedia" file in /sdcard/ViPER4Android/Kernel so media players will not scan that folder.

I really liked the OneKnob irs files so far and the soundstage sounds good for what it is intended for.
How do I use the multichannel .irs files, such as DTS Headphone, which have individual channels. I'm used to loading standard .irs files into Viper on my Xperia, but I've not come across multichannel files?

Oh. Those are just for fun if in V4A. I usually use those IRS to mix tracks in DAW. But I think it's worth sharing so I put them here. If you want the channel to be in the center, set cross-channel to max
Added Vitamin Sonic Enhancer and updated Soundstage Expander to Phantom Room VPT. Tell me what you guys think
Alright! New IRS! Extreme Bass (deep and heavy bass - turn volume down before using).
And, the high fidelity Audio Boost. Powerful bass, clear vocals, and high clarity... Includes 2 IRS (Enhancement and Excitement) - ABOUT 3dB LOUDER. This one will turn your headphones (even the cheap ones) into a home theater. Hope you guys like it!
Great the audio boost irs files goes well with my profile.

I've cleaned up the attachments! You guys can see all of my IRS in my Google Drive folder. WAV2IRS Renamer and the latest IRS will be in attachment list...
EDIT: Hey guys! What's happening? Why I'm mostly talking to myself? Give some critics and feedback guys So I can make better IRS and make them to your liking
Added Theater Sound. I like Studio Sound more though...

BTW I see that you have an LG What is your recommendation? Any Additional setup?
Tks
I've only recently realized that new versions of Android upsamples all the audio it plays to some high sample rate like 176.4 or 192kHz. Now, how good this sounds obviously depends on how good the resampler algorithm chosen is
Will those of you with Android 5 or above test out the following two audio files for me?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/abnqmqvlj94r5lx/44.1kHz 0.8 sweep linear.flac?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wvgmomwrcc6yosh/48kHz 0.8 sweep linear.flac?dl=0
These are simply tone sweeps from 0 to 22 and 24kHz respectively, encoded at 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates respectively.
To test these files I would recommend using Poweramp with Direct Volume Control (in Audio->Advanced Tweaks) turned off. This way we're deferring everything to the Android audio system.
They shouldn't sound any different (apart from the 48kHz version having a few more seconds of inaudible ultrasonics at the end) on a proper system.
What you might hear instead is one of the files having warbling over/undertones going up and down, especially toward the end when the actual tone being played goes up into inaudible supersonic territory.
If you do get this kind of result, can you note down for me:
-Phone model
-Android version
-copy of build.prop file, if available--particularly the number that the key af.resampler.quality is set to, if present
-if you run Viper4Android, you can also go to its Driver Status and directly note the output sample rate being used when playing each file.
Let's push the smartphone developers to make resampling artifacts a matter of the past :cyclops:
Sony Z3TC stock kernel/rom, V4A displays system sample rate locked at 48khz, when playing 44.1khz sine sweep introduces audible warbling resampler artifacts in the 44.1khz sampled file. curiously poweramp alpha with sox resampler option doesn't seem to help at all.
Anyone else? There were reports of setting af.resampler.quality values (should be 4 for highest quality) breaking audio system in Android 5 and above. Am curious.
I think build.prop editor can be installed and run to read the value of af.resampler.quality (if exists) without root. At least that's what I found when I revoked root permissions for build.prop editor on my phone.
Hi @Joe0Bloggs
I'm using player pro as music player. The resampling settings I can find is attached below. Why device resampled is mentioned as variable quality ? Should I stick with SW resampler or change it to device resampler ?
PS: both files are playing the same

Because device resampling means handing over control of resampling to the device, in which case quality and power consumption are dependent on device and system settings.
If you want to test how the device itself is handling resampling, you should try the device resampling option while playing those two files.

Tested as you said and both files are playing the same with device resampler. (Long pause at end)

BEST WORKING AUDIO MODS
Shox Audio Mod (by ScreaMySkrillEX )
Unleash the audio quality of your Redmi Note 3!
This is a sound mod especially designed for the Redmi Note 3 Pro (kenzo /kate) and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 chipset.
It also offers the option for enhancing audio via speaker,
It is a hardware level modification that enables the disabled CLS_H_HIFI DAC mode of our chipset that enhances the sound.
The aim of this mod is to offer the ability to take full advantage of the IIR filter implementation offered by Qualcomm audio codecs (WCD93xx). The IIR filters are implemented in hardware as a cascade of five biquads that can be designed independently.
FEATURES :
It enhances the soundstage and just ensures a clean audio to be put-out by the hardware. It increases the dynamic range of bass and treble the device can handle.
It enables HiFi or high-performance audio on your smartphone without any hissing sound.
The filters are implemented in hardware and independent of the ROM, kernel, and media playback software used.
It is fully compatible with other audio mods like Ainur audio, ARISE sound, ExtremeBeats, and also Viper, James DSP
The additional impact on battery usage is virtually non-existent
Options for enhancing speaker audio:
HTC 10, which uses the earpiece as a secondary speaker
Stereo, which uses the earpiece as the second speaker to provide true stereo sound from speakers.

There are several versions of Poweramp out there. The last stable version is V2 which is availabe on google play.
There is also a V3 alpha and a V3 beta available on the official forum which offer Hi-res audio output.
V3 alpha is the almost fully functional version with older UI and V3 beta offers a brand new UI but some of the menu components are missing yet.

How to check the audio output
You can analyze your device's audio output using a simple adb command:
1. If you have a rooted device, simply install a terminal emulator (or enable the one in the developer options if your rom has one)
type
Code:
su (then grant root)
dumpys media.audio_flinger
Then it will give you an output like this:
Code:
*some piece of code*
Input thread 0xee003300, name AudioIn_196, tid 18938, type 3 (RECORD):
I/O handle: 406
[B][U]Standby: no[/U][/B]
[U]Sample rate: 16000 Hz[/U]
HAL frame count: 320
HAL format: 0x1 (AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT)
HAL buffer size: 640 bytes
Channel count: 1
Channel mask: 0x00000010 (front)
[U] Processing format: 0x1 (AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT)[/U]
Processing frame size: 2 bytes
Pending config events: none
[U]Output device: 0x2 (AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER)[/U]
Input device: 0x80000004 (AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BUILTIN_MIC)
Audio source: 6 (voice recognition)
AudioStreamIn: 0xf02fd4f0 flags 0 (AUDIO_INPUT_FLAG_NONE)
Hal stream dump:
Fast capture thread: no
Fast track available: no
FastCapture not initialized
1 Tracks of which 1 are active
*some piece of code*
you should look for the one which is not in standby (bolded and underlined for you)
2. If your device is not rooted, install adb.
Connect your phone to the computer. Make sure you have "USB Debugging" enabled in the developer options.
Go to the adb install folder, hold shift button then right-click. Click on "Open Powershell/Command Prompt window here" to open adb.
once loaded, type
Code:
adb devices
It will ask for permission on the phone. Immediately accept to continue. Then you can a list of connected devices so you know that adb has detected your device
Then type:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys media.audio_flinger

Guys, which oreo roms currently support Poweramp's Hi-res outputs?
I checked through the adb, the rom which I'm currently using(ABC) doesn't.
I heard that AEX oreo also doesn't support hi-res till now. However some dude posted a screenshot that the "Experimental hi-res output" of build705alpha is working on NOS. Can you please check and report?
What about nougat roms?
I mean, seriously, yall just use MIUI's default music player? Blackplayer EX? Pulsar? Shuttle?
No audiophile of any kind??

Opensl Es hd not working
Back when I got my device I preferred Neutron in blind test vs Poweramp and I still stick to it. AIMP gets as close as I would expect from a free player.
Also Biohazard sound mod for any mainstream music, flat and clean for classical.
P.S. I might check out Player Pro some day
How tp make the audio mods work. Evrytime i try to flash these, i get some kind of errors and messed up sound server.
I only use viper, the magisk module works in every Oreo ROM. My favourite audio player is vanilla player. I'm using retro player ATM. But I don't have your standards. Also shox don't work for me anymore, get bootloops every time I flash it.

Which mod are you trying to install?
I've been trying to make Ainur Sauron work on kenzo, but I feel like the mod isn't fully working. I'll add it to the thread once I found it working. For now, I found the Qualcomm soundlib options in useroptions file useful. Dirac Hardware Hexagon addon is also working (however I don't like it). You can try it if you like the dirac effect found in MIUI roms.
My primary problem for now is the non-working hires audio capabilities of oreo roms. "None" of the audio mods or audio plugins solve the problem. All work on Nougat but not on oreo. Donno who is the culprit
Can someone list all the 24bit enabled ROMs?
any of y'all use external DACs?

i dont use Miui.
my kernel is Agni, and oreo bootleggers rom.
music player is retro(stock in bootleg rom) rarely used. mostly im using spotify.
im flashed AinurSauron, AinurjamesDSP, and shox audio. but im only using viper for adjustment sound to my preferences. my listening device right now is KZ ED16 earphone.
Any further development regarding Hi-res audio support in Oreo or even Pie ROMs? I can't get it work in Neutron MP even in Nougat. It just emits a high-pitched sound even if no song is playing. However in Poweramp it works fine and in combination with Agni kernel the sound output is pretty good. Since Nougat ROMs are no longer being updated I would like to move on to Pie but this is a big drawback.

When it comes to sound software has a very little role to play. If you use cheap headphones with the best amp it won't make them sound like expensive ones. Stop acting like you know everything.
I've never developed a custom ROM, and would like to have one developed for the H96 Max +. The box has a RK3328 CPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. The current ROM is based on Android 9.
I have 6 of these boxes and Logitech C922 Pro cameras and would like to use them to video conference link several locations. I have tried using Zoom, Hangouts and fb Messenger to create video calls, but although the video is fed, the audio both from the camera's built-in microphone and the audio from the remote device do not go to the TV (connected with HDMI).
My research has led me to conclude that the problem is that Android TV does not have video input support, but that could be added to the ROM by someone that knew what they were doing (obviously not me ).
Is there someone that I could send the current ROM to and that would be able to tweak it to produce the desired result? Of course I would pay for this.
Cheers
