Damn right man, I'm gonna be reviewing it too i think, so loads of mad pictures and obscure questions! :lol: Session on?

Why doesnt someone do a WAV vs 320k vs FLAC version. ie a real challenge?

I did a WAV vs 320kbit thing here once. Can't remember if anyone bit. Did it on another board with bits from "Hotel California" as the test, since it wasn't a techno board. All the people who absolutely knew they'd be able to spot a difference were, after requesting I waste the time putting loops together, amazingly silent once that had occurred.

Either way, it's probably Radiohead's fault. ;)

do it again! please

[tocsin]

I'll have to reupload tonight. I'll post a link when it's done.

[detfella]

haha, ah well, i didn't hear a MASSIVE difference. i think if the music had more highs on it i would have been able to tell instantly. all i heard was some frequencies were getting masked...no wonder i could never master my tracks heh! another thing, it didn't ruin my listening experience. i can admire a picture of art from afar i don't need to be super close to see it. (what the **** am i on abooot...)

be interesting to try the 320 vs flac or wav test, reckon massplacnk is gonna fail ;)

[detfella]

i found the difference on this test much more audible

test via doa

Done something similar for a module for uni, so I'll quickly whack it up here.

I ripped a track from a CD (in this case, Fanu - Salam from Daylightless) into a wav, then exported 5 second-sections at different bitrates. On the clip I've done, there is;

5 seconds of Wav 44k/16bit
5 seconds of 320 mp3
5 seconds of 192 mp3
5 seconds of 128mp3

Not in that order. See if you can work out which is which


For the record, I done this for a number of different songs in different genres and eras. My own take is that mixdown/mastering can make a massive difference to the quality of the Encoded MP3. There are, in my opinion, too many variables involved to make any sweeping statements.

Have fun!

EDIT - 16bit, not 24 bit

what was radiohead's fault?

maybe your efforts were met with silence because people find you generally very tedious and lacking in charisma.

tbf, someone who spends their spare time putting loops together to play on an internet forum is more than likely a cockless wonder with no social life.

i sent a pm to the guy with my answers and got it 100%!! i asked him what results he got from uni

Wotcha mate,

You got it spot on. From the group at uni, only a few could pinpot exactly what bitrate, about most could tell there was a change in quality, a few couldn't tell any difference at all.

We found that some tunes translated nicely to 192k, some of them sounded awful, so mixdown and mastering probably plays a part in it. Different encoders brought different results too, so there's alot that can affect quality.

Nice one for getting it 100% right though. Clearly got the golden ears!

come on then, any of you ****s gonna match me?? post up your answers and i'll post up the correct ones after a bit.

where are the files. thats a link to some kiddie games site by the looks of things. Doesnt work right. Just brings me to filefront.com

@microdot.

Let it go. 2 months ago we had a bit of barney and your still up for it for some reason.

there's a download link on the filefront page
