Hi Gene, Are you sure the distortion was caused by the mp3 encoding? There *is* lots of distortion in this track anyway, and I usually compare by listening quickly to both the wav and the mp3 - but have never noticed any major difference unless I use < 128 kbps (this track is reported as 208kbps using play/sox). Unfortunately I hunted all around my hard drives and it looks like I deleted the ardour session for this track (made in 2008) so cannot definitely say either way. Thanks Ralf for your comments too.
