Full Version: MAYAH AAC-Recorder
Any idea how it works?
The demo doesn't allow wav-import, no drag'n drop, line-in recording or anything else here. (Win98SE).

No, haven't downloaded it yet (how big is this package, by the way?)... But there's an AAC FAQ and even a forum on their website, so maybe you'll find an answer there.
If that's the old Mayah demo from 1999, than I can say it is completely useless for offline encoding - it supports only input from recording device, and the quality of encoder is not so good at all.

How can I adjust the play level?
· In Windows audio mixer under wave.
Which audio quality can be achieved?
· You can achieve joint stereo (15 kHz) at a bit rate of 64 kbit/sec

And the download page describes it as following:
- Free of charge download of MAYAH AAC 3.0 demo version.
This demo version supports the control of MAYAH CENTAURI Audio Gateways.
I don't know if this means that you have to be a user of their Centauri hardware package in order to try out the AAC recorder or if this "control" is only an additional feature.
