theom Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 hi there, I understand joint stereo is not the best sounding option. so which option do I want? 128 seems to be the rate of choice right now too, is it acceptable for non-critical listening? I hear a lot of "swirling" in the top end of many mp3s. That is what I want to avoid. so what is the current "best encoder" and which app has it? free is better but I have audion already, is there a good encoder in audion? remember I am on a mac. many thanks, sorry I'm so ig on mp3's theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/b][/quote] non-critical? I don't know which is the best but a free one will be Itune - you can choose the depth (yeah 128 is the prefered right now - higher rate =bigger file + better quality) Why is it importent to you? What do you make those MP3 for ? MP3 is not here for the quality but for the small file size.

Groovepusher Sly Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 The best I've found is Media Cleaner. I also use iTunes. Sly :cool: Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cooreman Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 iTunes ! Sly, is Media Cleaner for free ? Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovepusher Sly Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 I use iTunes cause it was free and it's pretty quick. Media Cleaner is not free but, it's the best and fastest I've found. Plus you can batch process, convert to mulitple formats and, it's fast. Sly :cool: Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cooreman Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 Sly & you all when i make MP3 loops to be used in Macromedia Flash they loop the most seamless i heard until now. Is Media Cleaner any better in that way ? Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovepusher Sly Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 This is a list of Mac mp3 players... [url=http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/mac/MP3/]Mac mp3 Players[/url] http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/mac/MP3/ Marc, how smooth a loop is depends on where you edit the piece of audio. An editing program where you can see the waveform would be helpful for that task. If your loops are smooth and in time, sounds like you're doing alright with what you have. Sly :cool: Oh yeah, I use Bias Peak for editing. It's not free either. Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cooreman Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 Sly, i use BiasPeak & PT TDM, and loops can be very smooth, i converted them in Peak, and afterwards placed in Macromedia Flash , the smoothness was gone , just like the convertion added a piece of silence . Read i'm not the only one with that problem, but converting to MP3 via Itunes solved the problem . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovepusher Sly Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 Marc, That's interesting that lowly iTunes would be the solution!? Score one for iTunes. As to Bias, sounds like the loops weren't merged into a single long soundfile. It might work if you copy and paste the loop section of audio, then merge them into a single sound file.

Marc Cooreman Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Sly, it's a typical problem : perfect loops , wether in Peak or PT, converted to MP3's & then put into Macromedia Flash , the perfectness is gone ! But as i said , you can solve it with iTunes ....although sometimes some more accurate editing in Peak or PT could be necessary . Just doing the best we can Salute Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
