Quote:I need some input on this:
I exported the mp3 into wav file...but it is now 800 mb or so. Now I have a cd player with upto 48khz output. So now does it mean I will be unable to listen to the subs on the cd player, since a cd can hold only 700mb, there is no usb port for it, and it simply wont play the mp3 only files?
I'm pretty sure you're misunderstanding the 48 kHz. 48kHz is the step up from 44.1 (CD quality) in terms of audio resolution, and is usually used for DVD recordings. It's the sample rate. That is, how many times per second is the information as to what this should sound like being fed to the player? CD quality does it, 44,100 times a second. DVD quality does it 48,000 times a second. You couldn't hear anything above about 23-24 kHz regardless, so there's no way you would have a player hat was built to reproduce such sounds, as it would needlessly make the engineering, production and components used much more expensive.
As for the size of the file... you have the following options:
- Leave it as an mp3 and get a player that can directly play an mp3 from a CD.
- Leave it as an mp3 and play it from a computer or tablet.
- Record your .wav file to a DVD (i.e. make a DVD audio disc).
- Encode your .wav file using FLAC if your CD player can read FLAC. (If yours can't read mp3 directly, it's very unlikely to be able to read FLAC.
Quote:Now If listening on the pc is the only option, I can listen only during the day, power cuts and all that bs. So if I keep the subs running, say on audacity or a media player and also listen to a video/audio file on a different media player at the same time, will the max output be exceeded, I mean is that possible? Also is there any way to listen to the subs on speakers only, and listen to the other media file on the headphones attached to the pc, I tried googling, but did not quite get the search term right. Thanks..
I have recently discovered that VLC is a better option than Audacity, since Audacity has a bug in the looper that causes the audio to hang every 32,768 seconds (about 9 hours) and need to be restarted.
If you must run it from a computer, consider getting yourself an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). For about $40 you can get one that will keep your computer running for up to about 5 minutes during power outs.
If you play subliminals at the same time you play something else, you'll be amplifying those parts of the signal where the waves match peaks, and nullifying where they match troughs, so it will affect the volume. It usually acts to increase the volume in general, but it shouldn't be a problem unless you had the ultrasonic subliminal turned up too far to begin with, or you had the masked subliminal turned down too far.
To my knowledge there is no way to pipe one audio output to speakers and the other to headphones, but someone else can certainly correct me if I'm wrong.
