Lossy? (thread nr 243)

[heyyo]

Can any nice Audiophile help me ? (my undeveloped ears cant tell xD) http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0...G0PBK098VAXUZA
dunno if a 30 second sample is enough for this kind of test , so tell me if ya need more!

Sounds and looks lossless to me. Anyone else?

[Five]

looks & sounds lossless to me however it is far below cd quality (44.1kHz/8Bit). This is like a recording setting normally only used for speech.

[heyyo]

lol , im so stupid .. seems like i set the , export quality in Audiocity to 8bit or something , what should i set it to ? .Wav 32 bit Float ? , btw thx for the answers

[Five]

no probs, everybody makes mistakes and it is good you caught it.

set it to export at 44100Hz 16bit, that is cd quality and the exact specs of 99% of the shows in circulation.

[heyyo]

okay , lets try it again , heres another clip fro mthe same concert http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1...H17E957TJ2LIS5 i exported it in Wav 16 bit PCM now , think thats the right format ?

[Five]

that is much better than the last sample

the fa looks fine but the sa looks a little suspicious to me. could use a couple more opinions on this one

[heyyo]

okay ,thx heres another show that i wonder about , becuase when i was going to decode it for burning, Traders little helper said it was under 100% CDAA quality .. http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.p...7F376A1E9C72BB

I'll check that out later tonight/tomorrow

this one looks lossless to me, possibly 32kHz DAT at some point and analog transfer. also looks pitch-corrected, causing the absence of signal way up at the top. I would trade that

[heyyo]

hmmm , yea , its sounds very hissy to , right ? or maybee its hard to see in the sample i sent you , but in the silent part it just kills my ears xD , well i think i found another version of that show

can you help me again ? , just curious whats the "thing" going up on 16khz on the frequince thingi... ?

that's very normal to see on FM or TV broadcasts. this show doesn't seem to be either one, perhaps it got the spike from being on HiFi VHS (the poor man's DAT). don't sweat it.
