Hi: Just to confirm that CDs in Australia work exactly the same way as CDs in the US. In fact, I used to import quite a few when the dollar was good and it was cheaper to do this than to go down to the local shop and buy them. How things have changed. I agree with the poster who suggested it might be a phasing problem, though why this would be allowed to make it to a CD release is beyond me.

Is it possible that one of the channels was inverted? If you have L-R instead of L+R, then the bass will tend to cancel out as will the central vocals. Sounds that only occur in one channel (e.g background vocals) would then seem to be louder than the central vocals.

To keep compatibility with previous versions I friend of mine told me that ATH type 3 was designed to produce better results than the default used by LAME. I've used in the command line but not very info about it. Can you point me some literature about the different types curves and the reason why one should use them? You should not change the curves. Anyway, inside Lame (since several versions) they are in fact the same curve with different parameters applyed to it.

Re: [mp3encoder] A kinda off topic question
If you put it in your computer and played/ripped it, I can't imagine how it could be anything other than a Red book, CDDA disk. That IS the global standard AFAIK. DVDs, on the other hand can be regionalized, but that is a form of DRM and doesn't change the encoding that I know of, simply the ability of some drives to play the title or not. I'd lean toward a mostly deaf, extremely novice, or semi-psychotic engineer. :P On Mon, 7 Jun 2004 22:23:28 -0400 (EDT), Vince Vielhaber wrote: > > Gawd I hate following up to my own posts, especially when it makes me > look like an idiot! > > I ripped the CD to my desktop since my studio computer has a bad stick > of ram an I haven't replaced it yet (yes, lazy - replacement is only > about 3 meters away!). > > But can anyone clear up whether there is a different standard for CD > audio around the world?
