My wife bought a MAC Quadra 700 with a NEC CD drive.  We can play 
CD-ROM software fine (ie Broderbund stuff like __Grandma and Me__).

My question is related to Audio CDs.  Whenever we place an audio CD
in the CD drive (we want to create an Audioshop playlist) we get a
pop-up window saying that the disk is not in Macintosh format.  It 
asks if I want to configure it, which of course fails.

I suspect that the NEC driver is bad.  I get the same results
when I try and use the built-in CD player that came with the 
Quadra from the "apple" pulldown menu.

Any ideas?  We are new to the Macintosh environment.

I have a question about the Fusion CD-16 package by mediavision...

Is the card really a Pro Audio Spectrum 16?  The docs make every attempt to
hide its identity if it is...

The reason I ask is that it does everything I remember the PAS-16 being able to
do...  Right down to the SCSI controller...

Ooh, maybe it's not a SCSI controller...  

At any rate, it says it's has PAS and Soundblaster modes.

Anyone researched this???  Otherwise, it seems like a decent starter set-up...

(apologies if this has been asked before; this package just became of interest
to me.)

Two remarks.  First, while linear interpolation works for rate
conversion, the result is rather poor: it can adds lots of digital
noise.  Unfortunately the techniques required to remove this noise are
difficult -- digital filters are hard to design, and hard to implement
in software.  (Read comp.dsp if you're interested in such things.)

Second, a free implementation of ADPCM exist.  This ADPCM (en/de)coder
is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cwi.nl [192.16.184.180],
directory pub/audio, file adpcm.shar.  This is a library written in C
-- you'll have to write a program around it to use it.

Okay, so the local campus store (complete with discounts) finally had
Visual Basic for Windows on display. I always knew that the Professional
Edition came with some "extras," but was never sure *what*. The DOS versions
seem to differ mainly in terms of ISAM support, as far as I could tell.

But the Standard and Professional Windows packages seem *really* different.
I saw nothing about "multimedia" on the Standard box, but a lot of requirements
on the Professional edition -- that plus the email, comm tools, etc.

Anyway, can someone offer some advice as to which edition would be best
for doing multimedia application on an *Ultimedia* machine? With all IBM-type
multimedia hardware (which, I'm guessing, could mean that the built-ins 
in the Professional box won't help me diddly...)

There's quite a bit of price difference, and I guess I'm not sure if 
you can *do* everything with the Standard box (and the Professional just 
lets you at it faster), or you *need* the Professional package to do
multimedia (sound, images, video, etc...)

I recently tried out the MediaVision AudioPort on a Compaq notebook (not
sure which model - it wasn't mine). Here is what I found:

1. Although they claim SoundBlaster compatibility in a DOS window,
   I couldn't get this to work.

2. Just to make sure it worked, I used its driver under Winodws to play
   a couple of standard sounds. This worked fine (although I wouldn't
   call this an exhaustive test of its functionality).

3. It's programmer's toolkit is somewhat thin (compared to that of the
   PAS or the SB) and, since it works off the parallel port, its
   interface looks NOTHING like those of the SB and PAS boards, with
   DMA, etc. 
   Nobody has said anything to me about this, but I'm sure that they'll
   be supplying better tools for development sometime in the future.

I guess it depends on your requirements. If you are looking for a sound
board for Windows, this might work. If you are looking for SB compatibility,
you may be disappointed.

Creative Labs has a new product that works off the parallel port, much like
this does.

BTW, for my needs, we got a Compaq LITE 386/25 (I think) and its expansion
box, and put a SoundBlaster right in it. Worked fine.

Good Luck!

Now that you ask: Yes, it is difficult... :-)

If the only difference was the sampling rate, plain linear interpolation
would probably be satisfactory - and anyone who can do simple multiplication
and division in c could do the job.

But while Windows uses a simple, linear PCM format, ADPCM is quite a 
different thing. The "A", Adaptive, means that the step size is not
constant, but depends on the slope of the curve. The "D", Differential,
means that the encoded sample value is not a direct value of the signal 
level but the difference from the previous value. These two factors
make it quite a job for one inexperienced with digital signal processing.

Sure, to experienced DSP people, the job is "fairly simple" (at least
in theory), but I suspect that you ask because you do not know a
sufficient amount of the theory.

A while ago, I picked up the CCITT recommendation G.722, hoping to write
a G.722-to-Windows-sound. Sorry, my math background was much to weak.
Yours may be better than mine, though! (G.722 is a 7 kHz/48-56-64 kbit
encoding. G.721 is a 3.4 kHz/32 kbit encoding; they are significantly
different.)

So, rather than trying to code it yourself, try to find a library to
buy. If you want anything close to real time conversion, look for
hardware. After all, the chips to do it will be going into millions of
telephones as G.722/G.721 becomes commonplace, so they ought not be
too expensive. Maybe they still are, today.

I agree.  The "desktop digital video" variety (which the original
poster does not mention) brings up many issues that the original
poster does not have questions for.  For instance:

With networked multimedia:

1) Who manages the information?
2) Who creates the source material?
3) Who takes care of the copyright issues?
4) Who manages the network infrastructure (there are
   HUGE network provisioning and maintenance issues
   to deal with).
5) What network protocols will ultimately prevail
   for multimedia (e.g. ST-II, MTP, RTP, others?)
6) What network technologies will best be suited
   in both the short and long terms to handle
   multimedia traffic and traffic management (e.g.
   switched ethernet, ATM, FDDI, 100Mb/s ethernet)?

I wish that folks would get over the "computer as
control centre" paradigm.  Networking multimedia 
offers SO much more potential, and the sooner the user
community recognizes this, the sooner we can, as a group, 
start pressuring vendors to get serious about standards 
and politicians to get serious about rethinking copyright
in an electronic age.

I remember reading about a Sony drive that is XA Multisession capable.
It supposedly is available now, but I do not now if it is SCSI.

I hope to be receiving a Chinon XA Multisession capable SCSI-II drive 
sometime this quarter. But I have not yet received a date from Chinon.
