Jaksta

I have been using the AVS branded versions of you r products for many years, The most recent versions of their Replay Music defaults to 24 bit at avery high bit rate hen set to record FLAC, no matter what the rate and depth of the original. Hoping that your own version Would have selectable rates I downloaded the trial version and used it to record a standard CD quality 16/44.1 track from Tidal and it was the same. It gave a huge FLAC file at 24 bit and around 8000 bit rate. Is there anyway to get lower FLAC settings to match closer to source?

Thank you 

Thanks for the reply. I get the same result no matter what the source e.g. recording from a CD. It gives very big FLAC files. If I go back to earlier versions of the software it records at a much lower bit rate around 500-600 rather than the approx 8000 the current version uses. It just seems a waste of disk space to create such big files.

Again thanks very much for taking the time to answer my question, As I am an Applian customer I should explain why I am asking you the question. It's down to this answer which you gave to another query in the forum.

We are the manufactures of most of Applians recording suite and have done so for many years now. Applian are a sales, marketing and support company.

Applian offer email support. We only offer forum based support. At the end of the day any 3rd level support comes back to us anyway.

We release Jaksta products first, Applian get theirs later. At the moment though all apps are at the same version.

So if email support is important to you then go with the Applian version. If having the latest and greatest asap then go with the Jaksta version. We will also convert an Applian license to a Jaksta on on proof of purchase if you choose to change later.

I was thinking I would convert my licence if your version of the product did what I am trying to achieve.

I appreciate and understand all that you have said, but it doesn't answer my basic question which is this. Why, on the same machine and settings, does Version 6 of the software output a 16 MB FLAC file from a 3 minute music track, but Version 8 give a 47 MB FLAC from the same track? (Were you not the developers of Replay Music V 6?)

The roughly 5 MB per minute which comes from Ver. 6 is in keeping with what I see from most standard i.e. non-Hi-Res FLAC files.

Thanks again.

Apology and correction. In my initial query I said AVS version of your products. Of course I meant Applian.

Thanks very much. Yes I would appreciate selectable bit depth being an option in a new version, I do record CD quality as well as Hi-Res audio from TIDAL Qobuz etc. 

As well as bit depth the bit rate is so much higher in Ver.8, Almost three times that in Ver,6. I very much appreciate your help with this. I have been going back to Ver, 6 to record CD quality streams but it lacks other features f the newer versions which I use like direct from App recording,
