Hello , I apologize in advance if some of you find this posting off-topic. However, I believe and hope that many of you have an interest in digital music and an unique knowledge of music compression.
I am interested in learning more about how original music can be recorded in order to optimise the quality for digital compression (like MP3). I thought that you might have some interesting comments on this issue, or at least of an idea of where I should turn for more information. To explain what I am interested in, imagine this situation: you are in a studio environment and have access to top quality studio technicians working with original song writers. You want to release the music digitally (for example in MP3 format). In other words, you do not have to worry about how it would sound on CD, only about working towards the optimal compressed musik file for distribution over the Internet. You have full control over arrangement/recording/mixing/compression. What things would you need to be thinking about? How can the studio technicians and artists work to help improve the quality of the end product? I would be very grateful for technical/theoretical background discussing A) what should be done in this scenario and B) if it will give significant results, that is will someone be able to hear the difference betwee two MP3 files where file A was recorded for compression (with the techniques/processes you describe) and compressed in the studio compared to file B, which was recorded "normally" for CD as end medium, pressed to CD and then ripped to MP3 at the same bitrate as file A. All responses are welcome. Discussions, comments, links and pointers to other people who may know more. Thank you for your help, Tobias Gunnesson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
