Getting to 24 bit is cool, as it is better, but beyond this I understand we cannot hear a difference, so this is one thing that should be constant from now on. l I have now seen 24 bit Audience tapes. They might not want to spin down to 16 bit, so you may find you will be limited to old material. Either case, we are going to have to ID shows as either 16 or 24 bit. Like MP3, 16 bit will be required in text file. Shows on servers may be 24 bit, so you will have to spin them down yourself to record in audio on CDR. You can store 24 bit on CDR. Looks like a little work to do this... Steve Kimock Band Bowery Ballroom, NYC 02/02/2002 Alphonso's Birthday Show *24-bit/48kHz recording* 16-bit mastering performed with Sound Forge 5.0 (in order: Fades at beginning and end of sets, downsampling to 44.1kHz with anti-alias on at level 4 [best quality], dithering and noise shaping applied with Waves L1 Ultramaximizer Type 1 dither with Ultra Noise shaping, truncation to 16-bit). All files were SHNTOOLed for proper CD sector boundaries. Overlapping fade tracks were created after SHNTOOLing. SHN files were then created. Drop D1T5 and D2T1 & concatenate all remaining waves to achieve seamless recreation of original recording. There are MD5's of both the .wav files and the resultant .shn files. 24-bit .WAVs = 2.70GB 24-bit .APEs = 1.74GB 16-bit .WAVs = 1.65GB 16-bit .SHNs = 925MB Burned onto 4x74 minute Data CD's in 24-bit/48kHz .APE format, 3x74min Audio CD's, or 2x74min 16-bit 44.1kHz SHN CD's. _______________________________________________ etree.org etrade mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe go to: http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etrade Need help?
