Re: Lossy?

hard to say.. it doesn't show the stark blocks you usually see with MP3, though the frequencies are rolled off (or seem to be). Could just be a recording from freq-limited mics, etc.


more info about it or an audio clip?

Re: Lossy?

The original uploader says this is lossless sourced from soundboard. I want to upload it here. Short sound sample:

Re: Lossy?

ok.. this is a bit tough. It's obvious that some of the frquencies are missing. I do not think a SBD recording wuld have that problem - unless the SBD's master EQ was pulled down and rolling them off on purpose for PA reasons, etc...

I do not see the obvious blocky artifacts you normally see in MP3. Or AC3, for that matter (which is usually still blocky, just not as much as MP3).

Here is a 100% lossless audio slice from a studio album, 1 sec span:





and here is your audio:





The texture is very similar. It isn't as clean, but it is a live recording against a studio recording.


I really can't say if this is lossy or not. I do not think it is - but what happened to the high frequencies?

I'm going to get another staff member to come hava a look at this and see what he thinks.

Re: Lossy?

I agree no evidence its lossy but the cutoff is supicious... viewed in black and white it comes up looking like 32kHz DAT to me. So its fine to trade imo.

Re: Lossy?

Maybe it's noise reduced?

Thanks for helping.
