Mix - up to 32-bit and 64-bit

Has a PC in dual boot Win7 and Win8. PC: Acer Extensa 7220. Win7 is 32-bit Windows and system settings indicate the Type of processor x 86, which means 32-bit machine (at least this is the info I found on the Internet on how to see what type of processor you have).

After installing successfully Win8 32 - bit, system settings will appear Windows 32-bit on 64-bit.

Re-install Win8 64 bit and everything still works very well.

Now, what is that? Does really make a difference if you install Win8 32-bit or 64-bit? Apparently not, although the DVD 64-bit is much larger than the 32-bit version.

You confuse the 32/64-bit (Windows) with the hardware software.   PC have been material 64 bits for many years, is that enough recently that 64-bit software is no longer available.

Until fairly recently most of the installations of Windows were 32-bit as there was little need for 64-bit implementations because there were few other 64-bit software.
Adding to the confusion is MS Office, which is available in 32 or 64-bit, but MS is recommended to run the 32-bit version, even on 64-bit Windows.
The main advantage of 64-bit Windows is it can 'see' and use more memory can 32-bit.

  • What is the easiet way to mix samples of 8 bit 8000Hz PCM_ULAW?

    Hello!
    I want to mix multiple ULAW format samples. Is it possible to do it without convert it to PCM? Im trying to make a 8 bit VoIP approx. 8000Hz Im test with the files to THE (created in goldwave) because they use the ULAW encoding. My current implementation is:
            AudioFormat f = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, 8000, 16, 1, 2, 8000, false);
            SourceDataLine sdl = AudioSystem.getSourceDataLine(f);
            sdl.open(f);
            sdl.start();
    
            File file1 = new File("C:\\Scream3.au");
            AudioInputStream ais1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file1);
            AudioInputStream aisTarget1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(f, ais1);
    
            File file2 = new File("C:\\Blackout3.au");
            AudioInputStream ais2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file2);

            byte[] data = new byte[10000];
            int[] calc = new int[5000];
            AudioInputStream[] streams = {aisTarget1, aisTarget2};
            int count = streams.length + 1;
            while (true) {
                int r = -1;
                for (int i = 0; i < streams.length; i++) {
                    r = streams.read(data, 0, data.length);
    if (r == -1) break;
    for (int j = 0; j < calc.length; j++) {
    int tempVal = ((data[j * 2 + 1] << 8) | (data[j * 2] & 0xFF));
    calc[j] += tempVal;
    }
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < calc.length; i++) {
    calc[i] /= count;
    data[i * 2 + 0] = (byte) (calc[i] & 0xFF);
    data[i * 2 + 1] = (byte) (calc[i] >> 8);
    }
    if (r == -1) break;
    sdl.write(data, 0, data.length);
    }


    If its not possible to mix the ulaw samples directly and I have to convert to PCM, how do I convert from PCM Format (AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, 8000 Hz, 16bits, 1 channel, 2 byte framesize, 8000 frame rate, little endian)
    to ULAW (8bit 8000Hz).

    Do I do something like:
    1) Write a WAVE header to a Byte stream
    2) Write the PCM data to the byte stream
    3) Get PCM AIS with AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(byte stream)
    4) Get ULAW Target AIS with AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(ulawFormat, PCM AIS)

    Any help is appreciated.

  • Can I mix up to 32 bits at a higher than 44.1 kHz sampling frequency?

    When I'm using Ableton Live, it allows me to choose 16, 24 or 32-bit, and then I can choose a up to 192000 sample rate.  Is this possible in the hearing?  I've been through all the preferences and all tabs and I can't find this option.  Everything I find is a convert, or the option adjust.  But this isn't what I want.  I want to mix down this way.

    The closest thing is when I go to "Export Audio Mix Down", I found, I can select 32-bit.  Then, there is a box for the sampling rate, with all the different values.  But it doesn't allow me to change of 44100.

    ?

    Thanks for the responses guys.  Hmm, well the reason why I ask this question is because I am preparing a cd to be sent to a mastering studio.  The engineer told me to mix down to 24 bits instead of 16 bit.  I asked him why, because everything happens to 16 bit cd anyway.  He said even if my session has 16 bit files, if I have them running through the beaches with effects bus vst as Altiverb (which I do), it will improve the sound effects in mixdown, if treated according to a higher bitrate.  Would poll better mix so he could work in the mastering session.  I assumed that this meant that a higher sampling frequency would also be beneficial.  Maybe not?  I use a lot of high-quality vst effects, so I want to make sure I get the best possible results.  I mean if you have this option and space disk hard isn't a problem, why wouldn't you use it?

    It is interesting that the export Audio Mix Down allows me to mix a session from 16-bit to 32-bit files, but if doesn't let me change the sampling frequency.  Maybe I'm not understanding these terms exactly.  I always thought that, for two, more the number, the higher sound quality.

    SteveG - tell you it would be a waste of more than 32 bit 44.1 kHz mixing?  What about k of 48 or 96 k?  There is not a noticeable difference?

    The sample rate only affects the highest frequency that can be solved - it has no impact on the quality of all, once the rate is high enough to fix all that humans can hear. You determine the highest frequency that can be resolved in any case of the sample given by half to get the "Nyquist" frequency - so 44.1 k the highest frequency that can be fully resolved is 22.05 kHz. The human ear extends up to 20 kHz, but it's only in young children - by the time you reach your teenage years he began to fall, especially if you listen to a lot of loud music... then 44.1 k is already greater than any human condition to the response at high frequency. This overall been proved? You bet it has!

    To discover the truth about the hype about the sound quality in general and more bits/sample rate are concerned, you should first read this thread of AudioMasters - and the links it contains. It's of high quality academic research, and all attempts to discredit have been completely ransacked.

    Your mastering engineer is correct up to a point, but not really for the right reasons - mixtures of 32 bits are usually more specific, simply because the sums do more accurately and scale of signal is significantly improved. You must keep in mind that the only place where you will hear no appreciable difference with one more high bit depth would be in really quiet parts of reverb tails. The best way to do a mix in Audition is to do all this in 32-bit (which is floating point version of 24-bit anyway) and if he really wants a 24 bit file, you can convert the 32-bit mix after that you have to create a copy of 24-bit integer. As much as the 16-bit CD is concerned, if you (or engineer) procrastinate it properly when you do the master of the 16 bits of the final mix of 32-bit CD, then the effective resolution is higher than 16 - bit anyway - there is also a thread of AudioMasters explaining all this too (it's complicated).

    What all the above implies, is that if you keep your mix 32 bit 44.1 k files as they are, if you remaster at a higher sample rate, all you have to do is up-conversion files in hearing. You don't win a single thing in doing that, but then again, you won't lose anything either - and person don't will be able to make a difference! This is not a case of "why don't use you it?" - this is really a case of ' why would you? "

    Either way, it should be noted that due to some misinformation presented by people who should really have known better long, understanding of most of the people of sampling is completely and totally false. Once more, a search around AudioMasters will give you a better understanding of the present. If I get a chance later, I'll look on all appropriate threads.

  • iMac, can I mix maps memory 2 G and 4 G

    I've just updated to El Capitan on an iMac with 4 GB of memory. Now, I want to add memory, because it is really slow.

    Yes, you can use 4 x 2 to expand the memory.

    I want to improve memory on iMac 27 in. 3.3 GHz, 5K retina. There are now two 4 G of Ram. I want to add two 8 G of ram. Should I remove two 4 G, or simply add 8G in two empty slots?

    It will be fine as long as they are installed in pairs (and, as long as your model can handle 8 GB modules). Just install them in the empty slots. Working with word documents or online will be not much faster - you will notice the difference in speed apps to respond, with graphic design and video editing, etc or game play. The new OS versions like more RAM, so you can not go wrong there.

  • Mix of ESX 3.5 and VMware ESX in the same cluster

    Hello

    I'm currently involved in ESX 3.5 Migrating virtual machines to a new vSphere environment.  All ESX 3.5 hosts running on obsolete kit and will be decomm had at the end of the project.  All hosts are managed by the same server vCenter.

    The only problem is, I have to add an additional ESX4 server, but there is not enough available physical switch ports.  I have decomm one ESX3.5 servers in order to free ports, but they run at 2 knots, and I will lose redundancy if a hardware problem arises.

    My proposed Solution: -.

    I think decomming ESX3.5 host 1 and move it to the new vSphere cluster.  The type of brand/model/CPU is different between the old and the new servers and I am not concerned by VMs DRS'ing between 2 environments, however, I understand that I have would be protected by HA if anything disastrous happened.  All hosts are connected to the same storage.

    You don't see any problem with that?

    You can have a mixed cluster, but this must be managed by vCenter 4.x.

    And you also need a license for the former hosts of 3.x server.

    HA will work.

    If the CPU is compatible VCA, then as VMotion, DRS, VCA will work.

  • Mixed environment of Windows 7 and XP

    I installed a J4680 as a wireless device using my XP machine.  It works very well.  I then directly access the printer through the network on my Windows 7 computer and it prints some reason (for example, the same image appears twice on a page print correctly the first time and includes a smaller version of the image superimposed on top of itself on the second screen).  Proper display shows print preview.  When Windows 7 accesses the shared printer through the Windows XP machine it works fine but I want to be able to access without going through the Windows XP machine turned on.  Seems to need a different driver Windows 7 and does not get it.

    I tried to remove the printer from Windows 7 computer and install directly with the Windows 7 CD.  No change.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Click Support & drivers at the top of the page, looking for the software and drivers for your printer and then download and install the Win 7 software. It should work fine then.

  • MIX the ESX 3.5 and new Vsphere ESX

    Hello

    Please be patient with my questions.

    I have an existing TWO older ESX 3.5 server in a Cluster connected to a SAN switch with dual path.  These two servers are managed by a virtual Center 2.5. These two ESX are connected to a SAN tell LUN1 LUNS in a cluster named Cluster_A

    I will install TWO NEW Vsphere 4.0

    Question 1) when SAN zoning is configured, the current LUN1 can be presented now two new ESX Server because they are of different version?

    Question 2) since the ESX 3.5 required a license server of virtual center still in place, how I installed the license in this virtual Center assuming that I upgrade to vcenter 4 in an environment where I have two esx 3.5 in a clusterA and two esx 4.0 to focus and manage a single VC?

    Question 3) given that I have two ESX 3.5 in ClusterA, let say, I installed two new ESX 4.0 in the same ClusterA, what will be the impact on this type of configuration?

    (> Question 1) when SAN zoning is configured, the current LUN1 can be presented now two new ESX Server because they are a different version?

    Yes.

    (> Question 2) since the ESX 3.5 required a license server of virtual center still in place, how I installed the license in this virtual Center assuming that I upgrade to vcenter 4 in an environment where I have two esx 3.5 in a clusterA and two esx 4.0 to focus and manage a single VC?

    You must allow the license server to 3.5 running even after upgrading vCenter.

    (> Question 3) because I have two ESX 3.5 in ClusterA, let say, I installed two new ESX 4.0 in the same ClusterA, what will be the impact on this type of configuration?

    No, they can operate in the same cluster. But if you want to be able to migrate virtual machines between 4.0 and 3.5 to NOT upgrade from VM hardware version, leaving all virtual machines with hardware VM 4.

  • Mix of ESX 3.5 and ESX 3.5u3! Urgent!

    Hi guys,.

    I have an ESX Cluster with 3 servers. I had a fourth another server where I thought it would be good to install the latest Version of ESX (3.5u3 123630) server.

    The 'old' are running 3.5 BUILD 64607. I've added the new server to the cluster, tried to migrate the virtual machine first and get this warning:

    "3 - ESX to ESX - 4 migration: Migration will cause the configuration of the virtual machine to change, in order to preserve the requirements of feature of processor for its guest operating system."

    Is it dangerous for my virtual machines? It's a one-way-migration?

    It is useful to use two different Versions of ESX in a cluster or do I have to reinstall the server 4th with the old version of ESX 3.5? By the point, that virtual machines are essential, I can easily pass three former servers 3 update... (I do not see the point or the improved features heavy...)

    Absolutely, the mask is applied to ensure the stability of vmotion between all hosts in the cluster - once you have migrated virtual machine to the host of U3 3.5, you will be able to move back without any additional problems.

  • 32 bit or 64 bit that the question

    I need some advice for emergency aid, while I have Office 2xPC, I have a Toshiba A10 Satellite Pro that I am about to change. It has so slow and running CS4 is extremely slow. I need advice on is that should I replace this aging with a new Toshiba laptop and install Windows 7 64 bit, or keep in the 32-bit. I have some problems: -.

    1. I currently have CS4 update on my PC I have to buy another version of Photoshop CS4 (so so full version or upgrade)

    2. all my computers are connected to a network and image files are supported up to 1 TB of external hard drives, I have a mix of 32 & 64 bit computers on the same network.

    3 Toshiba seem to be offering laptops with Vista, (don't want that). I wait I want to upgrade all computers to Windows 7, if I got the upgrade for Windows 7 at Toshiba, I could use this update on my PC? -Wouldn't be better to buy the upgrade to Windows 7 from another source, so I can upgrade the Toshiba and a PC without problems.

    4. in general the 32-bit update would be the best way to go. I realize that I may have problems with other software, but I guess Office Pro would work ion both, or would it be.

    Any guidance would be appreciated.
