Hello all, I am copying my vinyl records to be put on a CD. Understanding that the quality of the record means much, the following question still pertains to quality. Which format has the better recording quality..mp3 or wav? If I recorded in .wav and then converted that .wav file to .mp3 would

Hi Morey, part of the answer might lay in the recording program you use. If you are doing editing, gold wave, for example, only edits in wave files. So noise reduction, pop and click removal, etc, has to be done in wave, before converting to other formats. H T H

Your computer will record to wav format by default, but you can choose what format the recording is rendered to when it is saved. I suggest that you choose to save your recording as an MP3, with a bit depth of at least 192 KBPS, and a sampling rate of 44100HZ. I tend to use 192 KBPS or higher

Re: mp3 or wav

2004-08-27 Thread Matt
Beg to differ here. As long as you do not change bit rates, encoding an MP3 from a wav file, and then going back to Wav from that same MP3 later on will not cause a loss in quality. That is to say, your newly rendered Wav file will be the same quality as your MP3 file, because a Wav file is a

It sounds like the Lame encoders are a good thing for MP3's. I have it with CDex, and it does sound like with Lame that the quality is about as good as the original wav file. - Original Message - From: Morey Worthington [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pc-audio [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday,

With CDex, I have Lame vbr. It sounds like vbr is a good thing for MP3's, as like was mentioned, the quality of recordings can vary. I'm wondering what is the best setting for vbr? I have it set to 9, as that is the maximum. Is that the best setting for vbr (variable bit rate)? -

It's all up to you and the settings you pick. For sure, if you picked .WAV, it would be as complete a copy as you could get and you could always convert from that to something else later. On the other hand, you would still get compression, saving space, even at 256 or 320 using MP3, and it would
