Hi - Please forgive my ignorance I have a lot to learn about audio recording but I have searched these forums and the web extensively as well as trial and error and I'm stumped.
I've just got a copy of Adobe Audition and have been asked to create audio prompts for a unity Connection (CISCO) phone system.
The parameters I've been given are as follows:
Bit rate: 64kbps
Audio sample size: 8 bit
Channels: 1 (mono)
Audio sample rate: 8khz
Audio format: CCITT U-law
I think I have found where to adjust all of the parameters above except the audio format.
I found information proclaiming that these audio prompts can be created with Audition (even recomended) but no actual step by step instructions.
I also found some free conversion tools. I tried recording it with Audition and converting. The quality is severely worse off after conversion. I guess this is to be expected with 8 bit but I would like to have the best quality possible.
I got a decent sounding 8-bit recording in Audition but in the properties of the resulting .wav file for the file details it states encoder settings: PCM
:
Whereas the one I convert with the free converter shows Encoder Settings: CCITT u-Law
SO my question is... How can I get the ecoder settings to read CCITT u-Law when saving/exporting directly from Audition?
And any tips for maximizing the quality of the recording are appreciated. You can see the settings I chose above.
Many thanks for any guidance you can provide.
Best,
Aimee
