Actually, I can easily tell the difference between .wav versions of
my tracks and the 320 KB mp3's i encode. The 320 Mp3's sound good on
first listen, but once you compare it to the original .wav
there is definately lossyness and some distortion (esp. around the high
end). The characterstics of the source material play a big role in
how good a job your encoder does of capturing the fullness of the
original. There's absolutely no way I would press a record from an
Mp3 - that having been said I play 320 Kb mp3's from CD all the
time and they generally sound great.
As far
as mixtapes go, I would say that you might as well save yourself some space and
keep them all as Mp3. The difference to the casual listener
is indeed minimal. Also - pardon me if this is obvious - but if
your files are already in Mp3 format then simply converting these
mp3's back to .wav will do absolutely nothing to improve the
sound. If you want to maintain them at full .wav quality then you
will have to re-record them and save them as .wav's from the
start.
peace,
trust

---well of course wav is higher quality... but i really dont think you would be able to tell the difference of a wave and a 256kbps mp3 unless you are using some really good monitors..--------Original Message-----

Subject: [dnb-prod] Ripping/Encoding qualityI was just wondering if I should leave my direct Ripps to wav instead of putting them in mp3?I give the mp3 320 kpbs quality, which is the best quality. Is wav still better quality?????I got 5 Gigs of old jungle tapes from 93 to 96 and I put them all in mp3 to save space, but if wave is better quality I'll put them to wav.p.s. Anybody got old sets they'd like to trade??????????recently just got the classic 95 Brockie & Grooverider Jungle Fever Set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
