Jaime,

the supported AAC bit rate ranges for given sample rates are the following:

22050, 24000 Hz: 16000 to 64000 bps
32000 Hz: 24000 to 96000 bps
44100, 48000 Hz: 32000 to 160000 bps

These rates are per channel bit rates so you'll have to double them for stereo signals. Please verify that your parameters match these ranges.

Eric

Subject: AAC recording issues

Hello,

An application that I inherited utilizes recording in AAC. I recently noticed that we're getting "Can't Set Client" errors when attempting to use 22.05 khz sampling or a bit-rate lower than 64 kbps. Has anything changed in CoreAudio along those lines? (I would prefer to record high-quality and export to AAC, but we won't be able to transition that app in that direction very quickly due to user document size concerns).

This is basically what I've been doing...

dataFormat.mSampleRate = [[[self documentPreferences] objectForKey:@"audioSamplingRate"] intValue]; //  values of 22050, 44100 or  48000
dataFormat.mFormatID = kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC;
dataFormat.mFormatFlags = 0;
dataFormat.mChannelsPerFrame = [[[self documentPreferences] objectForKey:@"audioChannelCount"] intValue]; //  values of mono or stereo
dataFormat.mFramesPerPacket = 1024;

dataFormat.mBitsPerChannel = 0;
dataFormat.mBytesPerPacket = dataFormat.mBytesPerFrame = 0;

<snip>

   recfile.SetConverterProperty(kAudioConverterEncodeBitRate, sizeof(UInt32), &bitrate); // values of 32, 64 or 128


As mentioned previously, it's been several years since I did any audio programming. So, it is likely a coding error. When dealing with VBR in AAC, I'm a little bit unsure of what I'm doing.

thanks,

Jaime
