I believe what you are describing is the artifact caused by choosing too low an MP3 bitrate. you're asking for trouble (and artifacts in your music). This goes back to what i was saying about encoding/decoding/encoding/decoding. i'm impressed".)įinal Final Final point: don't compress your samples to MP3 just to save you some HD space. They said, and i quote, "shit, this sounds great. but for dubplates, yes! (with some of my dubs, the mastering guys were very surprised when i told them they were burnt from MP3s. not if the original mix down on the MP3 was good.įinal point: i personally would not *master* from MP3, original wav to keep it full digital quality from production to mastering is the "best" way to be. IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER ABOUT DUBPLATES: they have a 16Khz cut off (and MP3s have a 20Khz cut off, unless you're using a shit encoder). If Guy 1 had given it straight to guys 2 and 3 as his original MP3 file, it would still sound good. This "3rd generation" mp3 will degrade in quality much like copied video tapes do.

You then burn from the MP3 to CD for another friend. You then rip the CD and store it as an MP3. Common example of this: You mate burns a copy of his tune (which he has in mp3) onto an Audio CD. IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER ABOUT MP3s: If you decode them, then re-encode them, then decode them, then re-encode them, they get worse sounding each time.
#Radium mp3 encoder 320kbps#
The simple solution to make great 320kbps MP3s in windows is to use Lame (standalone edition) which is free, and the best. the other one, all sound wicked at 320kbps *PROVIDED* you set them up right and have all the "High Quality" boxes ticked. The remaining 3, FhG "Professional" (which is popular on pirate, or expensive if you buy it), Lame (which is free) and erm.

There are at least 5 different codecs in circulation all which "do" MP3 at least 2 of them (FhG one which comes with windows and the Xing one) produce shit sounding MP3s even at 320kbps. Which codec you have makes all the difference to how it sounds. Soundforge doesn't "do" MP3 by itself, it uses a Codec.
