Re: is this lossy

That's not very good spectral software, but you can tell it's loss by the blocky nature of the spectral. I've.seen a lot.of.spectrals in my time.

Re: is this lossy

Here's a screenshot of a file extracted from an Empress Valley Supreme Disc (EVSD) track:



This is really bad. You can see that the audio frequency takes a dive @ around 8khz. Look @ the numbers on the side of the spectral chart, as well as the graph. If you look @ the spectral (on my image), you'll note that the frequency doesn't even hit 10khz. The graph shows a drop @ 8khz. Looks like someone scribbled in the spectral... Lol...

On your image, the frequencies are cut @ around 15khz, which is typical for mp3 compression.

.........but you will find more often than not the cut-off will be @ 16kHz.
