Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
Excellent demonstration, however, and no fault to you, I don't think this comes even close to the truly wonderful audio quality that's possible in facetime and ft audio. I use facetime audio daily to communicate with my Fiancee who's currently in Canada and have completely replaced skype for over a year now. Even when she's back home here, we've also used it to talk to her family and both the audio and video, since she's into that kind of thing, is much more reliable than we've managed with skype. that's pretty sweet that you can use the IPhone as a connection to the mac though, I didn't know that. I will say though that using facetime, and even regular phone calls on the 6 plus, on the speakerphone is super amazing. I'd almost wonder if it would be possible to use a patch cable of some sort to connect an IOS device, just to grab a higher audio quality of a facetime call with your nifty microphone setup. Super cool though. Thanks and take care. Blessings.

Hi! I’ve used my Yamaha MX-P100 Bluetooth Speaker with FaceTime and quality is damn good! Yes, I’ve had better results with FaceTime for Audio and Video calls with Skype however Skype is catching up fast. As I said in the original eMail, FaceTime was used in this instance with an iPhone effectively making a call on a cell network so audio quality wasn’t expected to be superb, it would have been far better of course had I been able to contact someone on my cell network using HD Voice but I don’t know anyone now smile On 18 Oct 2014, at 12:05 pm, Jeremy icu8...@gmail.com wrote: Excellent demonstration, however, and no fault to you, I don't think this comes even close to the truly wonderful audio quality that's possible in facetime and ft audio. I use facetime audio daily to communicate with my Fiancee who's currently in Canada and have completely replaced skype for over a year now. Even when she's back home here, we've also used it to talk to her family and both the audio and video, since she's into that kind of thing, is much more reliable than we've managed with skype. that's pretty sweet that you can use the IPhone as a connection to the mac though, I didn't know that. I will say though that using facetime, and even regular phone calls on the 6 plus, on the speakerphone is super amazing. I'd almost wonder if it would be possible to use a patch cable of some sort to connect an IOS device, just to grab a higher audio quality of a facetime call with your nifty microphone setup. Super cool though. Thanks and take care. Blessings.

Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
Oh, oops, my apologies, I didn't think about the call being made over your 3g/4g. I'm not sure what I thought the phone was doing in the setup, didn't put two and two together. lol I also wasn't aware that the quality of the facetime calls could differ, but then again, I've only ever used it from between two IPhones. :) Take care.

Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
I’ll just explain it again to avoid any confusion. FaceTime can now be used to dial out - make calls - and answer - receive calls - from your iPhone if its on the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac, the sound from your iPhone goes through your Mac so - instead of listening to your iPhones hands free speaker or the receiver speaker - you can hook up your favourite headset to your computer.
